"It's Ron." He said to Hermione "but why is he in our Common Room?"

Harry and Hermione carefully emerged from the door. Ron had his head in his hands, and was crying like a baby, a letter sitting next to him on the table. Hermione put her hand up to stop Harry, and she advanced on Ron, sitting next to him on the couch.

"Ron what's the matter?" Hermione asked calmly rubbing her hand on his back.

"Harry c-can you g-go get Ginny f-for me?" He chocked out.

"Yeah I'll be rite back." Harry said trying to hold back the tears. He knew exactly what had happened.

Ron turned around and grabbed hold of Hermione, trying to keep his balance as he stood up.

"Hermione h-he d-didn't…he didn't make it."

"Ron why did you bring me down here!" Ginny yelled before she reached the Common Room. "I was with Dean and…" Ginny stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Ron.

"No. Oh no!" Ginny started. "Don't say it!"

Ron let go of Hermione and slowly started towards his sister. He put his arms around her but she fought it. Ron would defiantly have some bruises on his chest in the morning. Eventually she gave in and started crying.

"This is not h-happening. This is not happening." She chocked out.

They both fell to the floor not saying a word. Sobbing uncontrollably.

Harry had an arm around Hermione's shoulder, and they both just stood there, not knowing what to say.

"Ron c-can I read the letter?" Hermione asked.

"I have to hear it to believe it." Ginny said, "Please read it out loud."

Dear Ron and Ginny,

I am sooooooo sorry that I have to tell you this through a letter. I wanted to tell you face to face, but I couldn't. As you know death eaters invaded the Ministry of Magic. Your father did not make it. He died a good man. There was a field trip going on for children of parents that worked at the Ministry, with a bunch of little kids. He saved those children, but it cost him his life. Just remember that your father went down a hero.

Love,

Mum.

Hermione had a very hard time reading it because it was very smudged. Mrs. Weasly was obviously crying as she wrote the letter.

"Come on Ginny," Ron said, "Lets go write back."

"Ok."

"Ginny and Ron started to leave when Hermione stopped them.

"Wait Ron." She said

"Yeah?"

"I just wanted to say thank you for today." She said.

"Your welcome." He said and he went of to the Gryffindor Common Room with Ginny.

"Oh Harry. I don't know if it's going to be a good idea to live with them over the summer."

"Don't say that Hermione. Mrs. Weasly needs you. It will keep her mind off things." Harry assured. "But now I have even more bad news. I know that Voldemort is going to attack in the winter because I had a dream that we were fighting him with snow all around."

"Well let's go tell Dumbledore."

Harry and Hermione made there way to the Gargoyle, but when they got there they realized neither knew the password.

"Lemon Drops." Harry said, but no luck.

"Ton Tongue Toffee." Hermione said and the Gargoyle opened.

"How did you know?" Harry asked as they headed up the stairs.

"Lucky guess."

"Ahh… I have been expecting you." Came Dumbledore's voice.

"Yeah I think I know when the final battle is going to start." Harry said.

"And how do you know about this? Was it another dream?"

"Yes sir. It was. There were students fighting death eaters, and there was snow all over the ground. So I think it will happen in the winter."

"Well I expected this to happen. That is why I set up for you, Hermione, and Ron to start training with Lupin, and if you have time start the DA up again. I only want years 4 and up battling. Now you will start training with Lupin tonight. This will go on everyday before dinner."

"What about Quidditch?" Harry asked.

"Well I am afraid I will have I will have to cancel that."

"What!" Harry and Hermione said at the same time.

"Yes you herd me correct. Now go get Mr. Weasly, and tonight will be your first training."

"I don't think that is such a good idea." Hermione said. "Did you hear about what happened to Mr. Weasly?" (A/N: The dad…lol)

"Yes I did, and this is exactly the thing to get his mind off of things, and get his anger out."

"Ok." Harry said "Whatever you say sir."

Ron was sitting in front of the fire gazing mindlessly into the fire as people all around him were laughing and having fun all around him.

"Ron," Hermione said, as she sat down next to him. "I know this is problebly the last thing you want to do rite now, but Dumbledore is making us go train with Lupin."

"No it's ok." Ron assured "Let's go."

The trio walked silently down the hall. No one wanted to say something wrong on accident. Harry opened the door to Lupin's room to find all the desk's pushed to the other side of the class, and a big empty space in the middle.

"Lupin what are we doing?" Harry asked.

"Well that's simple." He said. "We are going to be dueling. Now Mr. Weasly would you like to go first?"

"Sure I guess." He said, "Who will I be dueling."

"Well I was going to have you duel Mrs. Granger but seeing as some incidents that acured I would like you to let out ALL YOUR ANGER. Which might get a little dangerous. So you will be dueling me."

"Ok." Said Ron. "Lets start."

So Lupin walked to one side of the room, and Ron to the other.

"Ok Ron. Start when you're ready."

"EXPELLIARMUS!"

"Protego!"

So this went on for about a half an hour. Ron started out doing dumb boring spells, but after a while they got challenging, and Lupin was having a hard time blocking them.

"I think Ron won." Hermione whispered to Harry, as Ron and Lupin lowered their wands.

"Yeah or Lupin let him win." Harry said. Just then Lupin collapsed into a chair, panting like mad, while Ron had at least an hour more energy left.

"Just kidding." Harry said, "I think Ron won all by himself."

"Well," panted Lupin "I was going to pant battle all of you myself but gasp Ron wore me out. So Harry pause to catch more breath you and Hermione can duel each other."

"What!" Shouted Harry "Your making me battle my girlfriend?"

"Harry that's the first time you called me your girlfriend." Hermione stated.

"Did it sound good?"

"Yeah. I like it."

"Quit it you love birds, and go battle." Said Ron.

Harry and Hermione walked to their spots in the classroom and lifted their wands high.

"Expelli.." Harry started

"Riggamortus Flero!" Hermione shouted and Harry's school uniform turned into a pink lacy dress.

Lupin was trying not to laugh, and Ron was sort of smiling. Hermione was rolling on the ground laughing so hard, not paying attention.

"Fricciferus!" Harry shouted and Hermione suddenly went bald.

Hermione's laughter changed into tears and Ron finally laughed.

"Harry!!" She shrieked.

"Don't worry I kn…."

"Pullerio!" She yelled and Harry now had pink hair "There now you match."

"Harry your looking more like a girl every minuet." Ron laughed.

"All rite you two stop it." Lupin managed to say in-between fits of laughter. "Harry give Hermione her hair back."

Harry did what he was told and Hermione now had a head full of hair.

"Ok. Now Hermione aren't you going to give me back my clothes and hair?" Harry asked.

"Well," said Hermione "I was seriously debating it, but I thought it would be weird snogging someone in a dress and pink hair." So Hermione said the reversal and Harry was back to normal.

"Ok you guys can go." Lupin said, "I wanted to see at what exact skill level you were all at, but I should have known you wouldn't fight each other."

"Yeah." Said Ron "but it was great to laugh."

"Ok well I will see you guys tomorrow."
