Previously,

Ron replied, "But, you know, they are the best of the elites, so you'd have to be top notch like Hermione."

Harry thought about it and that was exactly what Mcgongall said, so he said, "That sounded like Déjà vu."

Ron nodded and chuckled. Lavender, who thought it was safe again to speak said, "Ron, I've got to say something to you."

Ron said, "Huh?

She got up and pointed toward the door, which Ron took as to go outside. She opened the door and made a motion for Ron to come with her. Ron looked at Hermione and Harry, as if asking them "What do you think she wants to say to me?" the two of them looked as curious as Ron himself, so he left it at that and went outside with her.

Seamus said, "Well, I think she's gonna ask Ron out again."

Harry and Hermione replied, "What?"

Seamus shrugged, "I don't know. I heard her crying a couple of times during dinner, but I can't be too sure about what happened. Only if we hade Parvati here, she could tell all of us."

Dean shook his head and said, "Nah, that's not likely, she's probably going to get a so-called "insiders" account of what happened at you adeventure. After all, you three were like the heroes of Dumbledore's Army. If you guys died, well, there'd be a deep drop of morale like this." He made his hand go up and then suddenly do a deep drop.

Harry said, 'We were that important to you?"

Seamus nodded and said, "Well, come on! You guys where the ones to defeat You-Know-Who! If Potterwatch did say "Oh my god, Harry Potter is dead, who wouldn't be angered or sadended, or whatever it may be."

Dean said, "We all stuck up for you guys during class and during any time in school. When Amycus caught us in the middle of the night and telling how we were acting like Harry Potter, like sneaking out of the beds in the middle of the night to put up Graffiti. We retorted back at him and jinxed him."

Seamus remembered, "Oh yeah, wasn't that the time, where we ran away after that, and then snape caught us chucked us into the chamber to be tortured."

Dean nodded and said, "Yeah, well, when the two slytherins came to take us out, we Body Bind them and them-" he made a thud sound.

Hermione smiled and said, "Well, it's nice to know that there are people who care about you."

Neville said, "Oh, everyone in the Gryffindor Common room cares about you guys. Chances are, so did the Hufflepuffs and the Ravenclaws."

They heard a cry outside and someone running away. Then Ron came back black eyed and said, "Well, that kind of went awry."

Harry asked, "What happened?"

Ron sat down and said, "Asked me out. Rejected her. Gave me a black eye and now she probably went down to find the comfort of someone else. I dunno, I thought it was good riddance."

Hermione frowned and said, "Ron, you're so tactless."

Ron said, "What? She asked me a question and I gave her a direct answer!"

Hermione replied, "Well, you see you shouldn't have just rejected her, but tried to confide in her feelings like saying that you like her, but that it wouldn't be best for us to be together, because you didn't want to upset her later, if you did reject her, so that I t would be the best. You could've also added how you actually liked her very much and that you wanted to marry her maybe."

They all looked at Hermione and Ron said, "What the hell are you blabbing about?"

Hermione sighed and said, "Oh, never mind. Look, the cart's coming!"

Neville opened the door and said, "Um, a box of Chocolate-"

Harry said, "Oh, Neville, don't mind paying for anything."

He turned to the Cart lady, and said, "How about we take the whole cart, here."

He handed her a bag of money and she counted it out and shoved everything in the cart into the compartment.

She said, "Thank you for you services." Her eyes lingered on Harry's scar for a moment, and then left to get more sweets."

Harry said, "Well, share it among yourselves. Oh, yeah, I've also got this pie, if anybody wants some."

Dean grabbed a box of Berttie Bott's Every Flavored Beans and started to pop them in his mouth; Seamus grabbed some Pumpkin Pastry's and started to eat them. Neville reached for some Ice Mice and Ron grabbed a Chocolate Frog's Card and ripped the head of one off. Harry grabbed some Orange Cakes and asked, "Hermione, won't you have some?"

Hermione shook her head and said, "I'm a trying to lose a bit of weight. I do want to be healthy."

Ron gaffed at this thought and said, "Hermione, you've been living off wildlife for the last year, you might as well eat some. You've already probably already lost 20 pounds since you left my house."

Hermione shrugged and said, "Well, I do want to look good, and not stuff my stuff like you."

Harry sensing the tension said, "It's okay Hermione, if you do want any, you can have some of the Fat-Free Sugar Quills. They're delicious and they're healthy!"

Seamus said, "That stuff's good Hermione. Eat some. It's good for you."

Hermione looked tentatively at one and she at last decided to suck on one.

Dean asked, "Isn't that good?"

Ron said, "Her myme, isn tha goo or wha? Go an easom mor."

Hermione raised her eyebrows and said, "Sorry? You do know that's the second time in one day."

He swallowed and said, "I said, Hermione, isn't that good or what? Go and eat some more."

Then the Compartment door slid open once again.
