Chapter 5

When Lupin and I went back outside, I saw Ginny and Ron arguing. I just laughed as I walked towards them. When I reached them, Ginny cried out, "Harry! Ron was just telling me that you have another girl! It's not true, is it?"

I just looked confused as I asked Ron, "What's she talking about? What girl? Are you refering to the days when Cho and I used to go out before she and I broke up at the end of fifth year, Ron?"

Ron told me in the most innocent way as possible, "I didn't do anything! I'm just a Prefect who will be turning down the job of Head Boy!"

I snapped at him, "Ron! Don't go that far! We ain't gonna have everyone find out! It's bad enough that some of my body guards has to follow us around! It was just stupid of me that I had to tell Lupin about what we're going to be doing over next year!"

Ron cried out, "What? Are you crazy, Harry? Telling Lupin? You're insane!"

I told him with frustration, "Lupin would have found out at the end, Ron! Suck it up!"

When Hermione had come outside, she asked us, "What's going on?"

Ron told her with bit of anger and frustration, "Harry told Lupin the plan that he, you and I made for over next year."

Hermione told him in agreement, "Actually, it's pretty wise that Harry did that, Ron."

I quickly said, "But stupid of me of telling Lupin because Lupin and some other of my body guards will be tagging along."

Hermione snapped, "How many?"

I admitted to her, knowing there was nothing to hide, "Lupin said only few, but I'm pretty sure when he said the word 'few', he meant probably about hundred people."

Hermione groaned and said, "That is bad. We can't walk around, ride brooms and get on busses, taxies and trains with that many guards around. Muggles will find it very strange and every vehicle we get on will be crowded."

Ron reminded her, "Unless we Apparate to our world."

I snapped at him, "Ron, are you in there? All the objects we'll be looking for won't all be in our world! It'll be in Muggle world as well!"

Ron frowned as he said, "I didn't think of that."

Hermione cried out, "Of course you didn't! You always skip to conclusions about this kind of things, Ron!"

Ron told her, "Can't blame me! I happen to think that way."

Ginny finally interrupted our conversation by asking, "What on earth are you guys talking about?"

I told her in calm way, "Nothing that you should know, Ginny. Especially considering you have to wait until next year to get your Apparation license. It's a business talk."

Not too long later, Charlie, one of Ron's elderly brothers who worked iwth dragons in Romania, came along and he was smiling from ear to ear when he saw me. He cried out with joy, "Harry! How are you?"

I shook his blistery hands and said, "Never better, Charlie. How about you?"

Charlie asked, "How do you think I'm doing? I mean, Bill's a half werewolf now! It could be better! I mean, noone knows the side effects of actual half werewolf, although the Healers have said that one of the effects might be being grouchy."

I shrugged as I said, "At least rest of you guys are not be changing in any way, hopefully. Especially not Fred and George."

Charlie started to think and answered, "Oh, yeah. Those two are defiantly not going to change for sure, seeing that they're the pranksters of the house and owning successful business. I still don't get how they got all that money to start Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes."

I started to cough nervously and Hermione and Ron looked bit nervous as well. Ron spoke up, "We know how they got all those money."

Before Charlie could have said anything I said, "I actually gave them my winning money from the Triwizard Tournament. They bought the business with all that money and got all the ingredients to make their products."

Charlie cried out, "Harry! Why did you give them money for? They're crazy! They're maniacs!"

Ron cried out abruptly, "And they make the best products ever! Hermione got herself punched in the eye by unfinished punching telescope and got a black eye from it!"

Charlie snapped at Ron, "That wasn't funny, Ron. What if that ingredient was toxic? It could have blinded one of Hermione's eyes for good."

Hermione said in a grateful tone, "Thank you. At least someone around here knows what could have happened instead of thinking way ahead of what's funny and what's not."

When Ron started to look annoyed, I quickly said, "Ron, Hermione, let's go. We have more about business stuff to discuss before Bill and Fluer's wedding actually begin." Ron and Hermione nodded and we headed off towards the house.
