Chapter 2: The Persuasion

Harry got to the Dorm and immediately started to pack. How could everyone had waited for such a long time to tell him. After all Ginny was his girlfriend and he was somehow the last to know about this. The more he thought about it the more frustrated he got. "I'm worried about her too you know". Harry turned around to find Ron staring at him from the top of the stairs. "But that doesn't mean I am going to give up my future". Ron pointed out. Harry thought about this statement for a minute and then said. "Neither am I that's why I need to see her". Ron moved closer to Harry. "Harry you and I both know if you leave mid-year it's an automatic expulsion"," do you really think Ginny would want you to give up magic for her?". Harry and Ron both stood there in awkward silence for a few moments. Harry suddenly left the room and went back down to the Common Room to Ron's relief without his trunk or Hedwig's cage.

Hermione was sitting by herself for quite some time before she finally saw Harry come down the stairs with Ron in close pursuit. "Harry, are you all-" but Harry had left the common room before he gave her the chance to finish. Hermione turned to Ron and immediately asked "he isn't leaving is he?". "No I don't think, yet".
