Ron had learned his lesson and this time, his name was going on the package he planned to get Harry. Ron knew the exact thing he would give Harry too.
Back in the summer before their fourth year at Hogwarts, Harry and Ron's family had gone to the Quidditch World Cup together. He knew Harry really enjoyed himself because he was surrounded by everything Quidditch.
They had gotten their picture taken together by Hermione right before the game started. It was a picture of Harry and Ron, arms around each other's shoulders, face paint and all. Occasionally, Harry would turn around in the picture to see if the game started or Ron would make a hand gesture at the person looking at the picture.
Ron had saved this picture for many reasons. Mainly he kept it because it was him and his best mate. But now his best mate meant more than it did before.
Ron took the time to write a note to Harry on the back of the picture and wrapped it up with the words:
"To: Harry
From: RON"
He made sure his name was in big letters for Harry to see. Ron wasn't going to let him get confused in any way this time.
After finishing the present, Ron left his dorm to go find Hermione. She wasn't in the common room and it wasn't a meal time, so the only other likely place to look was the library.
And of course, Ron was right with his assumption and found Hermione with her face buried in a book on dragons.
"Hermione?" Ron was trying to get her attention.
"Yes Ron?" She replied.
Ron took the present he had behind his back and showed it to Hermione, hoping to get her approval before giving it to Harry.
"You did a nice job wrapping it and I congratulate you on writing your name on it as well. But what's inside?" Hermione questioned.
"Remember back at the Quidditch cup, you took a picture of Harry and I before the game started?"
"Yea?" Hermione remembered that the two boys were so excited for the game.
"Well, I put it in a frame and that's what I'm giving him."
"Oh Ronald," Hermione stood up with tears in her eyes, "That's perfect! He definitely will love it!" She gave him a huge hug, not caring that people around them were staring and Madame Pince was shushing them.
"Er, thanks Hermione," Ron tried to say but it was muffled by Hermione's hair, "I think I'll go try to find him now."
"Good luck Ron!" Hermione called out after him. Madame Pince was glaring at Hermione, so Hermione slowly sat back down, realizing how much noise they made.
