Ron caught up to Harry as Hermione rushed off into a shop as he came closer.
" Whats up with her?"
Harry gritted his teeth and pinned Ron to the wall. " I think the question is , Whats up with you Mate?"
Ron laughed at first and brushed Harry's hands of his shoulders. " Harry have you gone mad?"
" You're pathetic."
" What?"
" You heard me Ron."
" I cant believe this Harry. I did everything Hermione told me too. I didn't object to him kissing her hand. I didn't speak rudely or refuse to be mannerly and I didn't cause a fuss when he flirted with her. The only crime I comitted was letting her flirt back."
Hermione ran over and shoved a few bags into Harry's hands. Ron blushed and turned towards her.
" Hermione I'm sorry."
She looked at him startled. " Are you talking to me Ron?"
He nodded and looked at the ground. Hermione smiled. " Did you just appologise to me?" Again he nodded.
" Well appology accepted " beamed Hermione and she hugged him. " Now then we better go back."
" Whats in the bag Hermione?"
Hermione smiled. " I bought Ginny a little present. I was hoping to cheer her up."
" What is it? " asked Ron.
" A little house for her Pigmy Puff Arnold. All you do is open the magic seal on the bag and you can create a little home for your pet. All you need is an imagination , the spell will do the rest. I have one for Crookshanks. He loves it."
" Ginny will love that " said Ron. Harry wasn't sure if Ron was telling the truth but from the happy look on Hermione's face. It was worth it.
" Jon has postponed leaving on Thursday. They are leaving next week instead."
" Good " said Ron. " The more time we have with Ginny the better."
Hermione stiffled a smile. " You really care about her dont you Ron. Even though you fight a lot. I can see the bond between you both.
Ron sighed and kicked at the stones on the ground. " It's not just that Hermione. Mum is really worried at the moment. She hasn't been right since that Jon came and I'm afraid something could happen to her. People have gotten ill from stress you know?" Ron looked over at Harry daring him to laugh. Harry didn't. Ron nodded appreciativly.
