CHAPTER NINE. What Have I Done!
Later that night after Arthur, Molly, Luna and Xenophilius had apparated back to their homes and the other two couples had retired to their own rooms Ron and Hermione were talking softly in bed together.
Hermione said, "I don't yet know exactly how I'll get you back for your little plot but I'll think of something appropriate, Operation Witchflight indeed!" And she chuckled.
"Well as long as your revenge doesn't include spiders then I suppose you're perfectly entitled to get me back," Ron laughed. "At least I finally managed to outwit 'the brightest witch of her age' and in front of witnesses too!" Ron smiled.
"OK, but don't get too cocky or my revenge will be cruel and terrible." Hermione joked. "You'll wish Lord Voldermort was after you again instead."
"Oh there's is one thing," Hermione said. "The next time we are in London for a weekend at Harry and Ginny's place you're going to be taking me to Diagon Alley."
"Not MORE bloody books!" Ron said, feigning annoyance.
"No Ronald, this time you'll be taking me to get a new Starblazer 2. I didn't want to offend Xeno and his kind offer, but his old Cleansweep is too bloody slow now for my liking, we'll just keep it as a spare. It may come in handy one day. I've been reading your What Broom magazine and the new Starblazer looks really hot! It's far quicker than your old Starblazer 1's nought to sixty time, climbs like a rocket and handles like a muggle jet fighter. I'll teach those bloody ducks not to try and overtake me!" Hermione beamed.
"Sounds to me as if we'd better get one each then. I'll trade in my old one, I'm not having my wife burn me off! It's just as well the new internet store's bringing in a fortune."
"Well that's just fine, matching brooms would be great, I'll have a pink one and you can have a blue one." Hermione laughed and went on to say, "I wonder if Ginny, Harry, George and Angelina will fancy a little friendly three-a-side Quidditch with us tomorrow afternoon? It wouldn't take 'em long to apparate off and fetch their brooms."
"What have I done? I've unleashed a bloody monster!" Ron said, in mock horror. Then he smiled, kissed Hermione and clicking Dumbledore's old deluminator he shut off the light.
