Shayne drank the medicine Mrs Weasley had given him slowly.
" Thats it ... good lad. Here I'll bring you up something to eat in a while. You must be starving."
" Hmff " snarled Ron in the corner. " It's not fair... Mum never treats me that way ,when I'm sick."
" Well we'll stun you a couple of times Ron " said Hermione. " And then we'll treat you specially too."
" Hey I was only commenting. No need to be nasty."
" Well then dont be stupid."
" I'm not stupid. Im not the one who's hiding from the law."
" Jesus do you have to moan about everything."
" I'm not moaning."
" Yes you are."
" No I'm not. Your just being mean."
" Mean. Why you little... ohhhh I have a good mind to..."
" Strangle you both " cried Harry. " Cant you two stop bikering for at least a minute."
Hermione sighed. " Sorry Harry."
" It's not me you should be saying that to."
" What? " exclaimed Hermione.
" Go on."
" Oh very well. I'm sorry Ronald."
" And you Ron."
Ron turned scarlet. " Hey I'm the victim remember."
" Ron do it."
" Fine. I'm sorry Hermione."
She nodded. " Well it's acceptable I suppose."
He bit his lip. " I'd say the same with yours. However a bit of bowing would not have gone astray." He ran out of the room.
" RONALD WEASLEY WHEN I GET YOU... YOU'LL BE SORRY " yelled Hermione and she ran out of the room after him. Harry sighed. Would they ever get along.
Hermione walked down the stairs and into the broom cuboard by the front door. She found Ron standing there a grin on his face.
" So you got my message then?"
" Yes " replied Hermione. " But I felt rather silly yelling in front of everyone like that. Its not my character."
Ron raised an eyebrow. " Anyway here we are ... just us."
She sighed. " You know staging that arguement was fun. But we could have told Harry."
" No I wanted it just to be you and I. Harry needed to look shocked as well. Otherwise Mum would have caught on. She knows everything Hermione.
Hermione smiled and sat down. " Well this is nice. So what do you want to do. Talk maybe?"
" Hermione I didn't just fake an arguement and have you chase me down the stairs in order to get you to talk to me. Come on girl... think."
Hermione sighed. " Well I think we need to talk. A lot has happened in the past few weeks."
Ron smiled and stood up. " Hermione go close the door and afterwards and I'm only saying maybe... we'll talk."
