Chapter 8When Pixe walked up the stairs, there was silence.
"Well we have to get back home," Mr. Granger says. "Do you have everything you need, honey?"
"Yes, Dad," Hermione says.
"Ok. We've paid for your stay here for the rest of the summer so you can stay with your friends," Mrs. Granger says.
"Thanks mum, dad," Hermione says. "Have fun in Spain."
"We will, Honey," Mr. Granger says. "Be good. We'll see you before you leave for school."
"Ok," Hermione says. "Bye."
"Bye, sweetheart," Mrs. Granger says.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger walk out of the Leaky Cauldron.
"I need to get back to work," Arthur says.
"Ok, Arthur," Molly says. "Be here for dinner at six."
"I will," Arthur says and floo powdered out of there.
"Kids, I need to go home. I forgot something. Do you think you can stay out of trouble until I get back?" Molly asks.
"Yes, Mum," Ron says. "We'll be fine."
"Ok," Molly says. "I'll be back in an hour, ok?"
"Ok, mum," Ginny says.
Molly floo powered out of there.
"How much trouble can we get in an hour?" Ginny asks.
"Don't ask," Hermione says. "Let's just go to our rooms."
"That's why you are the smart one, 'Mione," Harry says.
The four of them go up stairs.
They get to their floor and see Pixe stepping out of a room and closing the door behind her.
"Hi Pixe," Harry says.
"Hi guys," Pixe says. "I would stop and talk but I have to be somewhere."
"Where?" Hermione asks.
"Tell you later," Pixe says. "Could you guys keep an eye on Draco until I get back?"
Ron opens his mouth to say, no but Harry beats him to it, "We'd be happy to, Pixe."
"Thanks," Pixe says. "I'd try and be back by 6 but if I'm not, get Draco down stairs for dinner for me."
"Sure, Pixe," Hermione says. "We'll do that."
"Thank guys," Pixe says and starts to go down stairs. "Bye."
"Bye," Hermione says.
"See you later," Harry says.
After that, Pixe is gone.
"Are you two mentally unstable or what?" Ginny asks.
"What do you mean?" Harry asks.
"Agreeing on watching Malfoy," Ron says. "Did you two forget who that is?"
"We didn't forget, Ron," Hermione says. "We just decided to forget this childest feud."
"Just forget it?" Ron asks. "That's not how these things work."
"Oh! Please tell us all wise one, how does these things work?" Hermione asks.
"You don't just forget these things. Look at my dad and Lucius. They are grown men and they are still fighting," Ron says.
"They are fighting like first years," Hermione says. "They are just two grown men who are too stubborn to let things go."
"You know the things Malfoy has done, 'Mione. You even have seen most of them," Ron says. "How can you forgive him so easily?"
"You shouldn't bass a person on their past," Hermione says. "How can anyone change who they are if they are only seen as what they've done."
"What about his father?" Ron asks.
"What about him?" Hermione asks.
"He himself have done horrible things," Ron says.
"You shouldn't judge a person by who their father is, Ron," Harry says. "I thought you knew better than that."
With that said, Harry goes into the door next to Draco's and closes the door behind him.
"Nice going, Ron," Ginny says.
"You better apologies to him," Hermione says.
"I know," Ron says. "That's my room, too."
"Ron!" Hermione and Ginny say together.
"Sorry," Ron says. "Sorry."
Ron knocks on the door.
"What?" Harry asks from behind the door.
"I want to say I'm sorry," Ron says. "I didn't mean what I said."
The door opens and Harry walks out.
"Yes you did," Harry says. "You just didn't know what you were saying."
"Right," Ron says. "Forgive me?"
"Always," Harry says and smiles at his other best friend. "See 'Mione. Not all men are stubborn."
"Who said you two were men?" Hermione asks smiling back.
"Funny, 'Mione," Harry says. "Very funny."
"Who said I was joking?" Hermione asks.
Ron and Harry look at her wide-eyed.
Both Hermione and Ginny laugh.
Short, I know. Sorry. Try to write more next time.
