Apologies
Back at the Burrow…
Ron knocked on the door of the room that Hermione had been sharing with Ginny.
"Hermione, open the door please."
"What do you want?"
"I came to say sorry."
Hermione opened the door.
"Listen. I shouldn't have started the fight with Viktor. You consider him a friend, and I'm
sorry for upsetting you… Do you forgive me, Hermione?"
"Ron Weasley is apologizing. You're making history today," Hermione said, losing most
of her anger towards him.
"Yes, I forgive you," she said, giving Ron a hug.
At that very moment, Mrs. Weasley walked into the room.
"Oh, sorry," she said. "I was looking for Ginny. I'm leaving now," she said quickly,
walking back out the door.
Ron and Hermione pulled away from each other awkwardly.
"So, tomorrow's the big day," Hermione commented.
"Yeah. My brother is getting married."
"I think it'll be nice," she said.
"Are you going with anyone tomorrow?" Ron blurted out.
"No."
"Do you want to go with me?" he asked quickly.
Once again, they were interrupted, this time by George.
"Hermione, Tonks has been looking for you for awhile. She wants to see you."
George took Hermione by the arm and lead her to the door.
"Ron," she called out.
"Yeah?"
"My answer is yes," she said, leaving the room.
George looked over at Ron. "Did I just interrupt something?"
"Kind of."
"Did you ask her to the wedding?"
"I did."
"And she just said yes, didn't she?" George asked.
"I do believe that's what she said," Ron answered.
"Fred owes me now."
"You two had a bet on me?" Ron asked.
"Yep, and now he owes me," George laughed. "I had faith in you little brother."
"I don't think I've ever heard you say that before."
"There's a first time for everything, isn't there?" George said.
"I guess so."
"Do me and yourself a favour. Don't screw things up with Hermione tomorrow."
"Why, is there another bet?"
"Yes, actually there is," George answered.
"You're horrible," Ron said, laughing, hitting his brother over the head.
