"I'll miss you." Lavender cooed.

"I'll miss you more." Ron replied.

"No, I'm going to miss you more." Lavender giggled, taking a step out of his apartment.

"No, I'll miss you more." Ron said, taking a step further into his apartment.

"Nooo, I'll-"

"You'll both miss each other, okay!" George said, and slammed the door.

"George!" Ron groaned.

"That's enough." George said sternly.

"Let me say goodbye." Ron commanded.

"You can owl her. Bye, Lavender!" George called. "No point waiting!"

"Bye, Ron!" She huffed, and they heard her footsteps faintly.

"I can't believe you would do that!" Ron yelled.

"I can't believe you would do that! It's sickening!" George scoffed.

"Just because you don't like her, doesn't mean I don't-"

"Please, you don't like her much more." George retorted.

"How could you even think that? I'm not sixteen anymore, and neither is she! We've both grown up!" Ron defended.

"But even so, there's Hermione." George reminded him.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Oh, don't pretend, Ron, I saw you make her breakfast this morning!" George accused.

"So what! We're friends!"

"I didn't see you make anyone else breakfast!" George pointed out.

"Bravo, Waffle Police, now can you leave me alone?" Ron snarled.

"And pick up your mess, for once, why don't you?" George called.

"Since when did you become so annoying?"

"Since you became a pain in the arse." George snapped, and Ron glared.

"You know what, I don't need this right now, George!"

"You know what, I don't need this at all. I think it's time for me to move out." He said seriously.

"M-move out?" Ron said in an offhand voice.

"Yep. It's not I don't have the money, I only stayed here because it was last minute. I could've moved out a long time ago, but I liked it. But now I know it's not all it's cracked up to be." He said.

"Fine!"

"Good! I'm going to look for apartments!" George said, grabbing his cloak. "I'll miss you more!" He imitated Lavender before slamming the door.

"I won't!" Ron called angrily.

"How about you, Harry? Would you steal bread to save your family?" Ginny asked as they sat in the Leaky Cauldron.

"It's a trick question, the bread is posionied." Luna said.

"The bread is not poisoned, Luna!" Ginny rolled her eyes.

"I said it is." Luna said.

"So that doesn't mean anything."

"But you said Harry had a family, and he was poor. You made up that story. So I added on."

"Yes, but-"

"What happened to you, Ron? And where's George?" Hermione asked as Ron entered the Leaky Cauldron.

"George and I had a fight. He's out looking for apartments." He said glumly.

"No he isn't." Ginny shook her head. "He say's he's looking for apartments, but really he's just looking for a date this Saturday."

"Yeah, Ron, and either way, it will probably blow over." Harry said, draining the last of his butterbeer. "Ah, Merlin."

"Don't worry, I'll get more." Ginny said eagary, taking both of their mugs.

"Don't forget the sugar, sugar." Harry said lamely.

"And the honey, honey." Ginny smiled, before flouncing away.

"Oh, look at you and Ginny, all flirty-flirty." Luna cooed.

Harry grinned sheepishly. "I really want to ask her out, but I don't want to blow it. I need the right time."

"Could we please talk about my problems, for once?" Ron groaned, and Hermione rubbed his shoulder.

"Thank you." Ginny told the bartender as he handed her the two butterbeers. "Oh, sorry." She added as she knocked into someone, a tiny bit of the butterbeer splashing out. Ginny looked up, and was facing Hermione's ex-boyfriend. "Liam! I haven't seen you in a while! Well, it is 4:45, I suppose..."

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked suspiciously.

"Oh, well, Hermione and Luna used to get all excited at 4:45, because that's when you, or 'cute coffee guy' as they called you, came into the Leaky Cauldron and bought coffee." Ginny confessed.

"They know me well." Liam laughed, raising his mug.

"Where's Ginny?" Harry said eagerly after ten minutes. "She went to get our drinks like five hours ago!"

"It's been ten minutes, Harry." Hermione corrected him.

"I'm exaggerating, Hermione." Harry sighed. "But c'mon! Take longer, please!"

"Maybe she's flirting with that guy over there." Luna said casually, pointing him out.

"What?" Harry yelled.

"Wait, Luna, that's not just any guy..." Hermione began.

"It's cute coffee guy!" They said in unison.

"I can't believe she's flirting with Liam!" Hermione said angrily.

"She's not flirting." Harry said in disbelief.

"Oh, yes she is." Hermione laughed grimly.

"Wait, Liam, like your ex-boyfriend, Liam?" Ron confirmed.

"How many other Liams do we know?" Hermione snapped.

"I don't like that guy." He said.

"f course you don't." Hermione retorted.

"Me neither." Harry pouted.

"Oh, now the tables have turned." Ron gloated.

"Someone's got to stop her!" Hermione whined.

"Me." Harry and Ron said together. The trio all stood up.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Luna said. "I said stop!" When no one listened, Luna sent the jelly-legs jinx at them, making them all tumble over.

"Bloody hell, Luna, geroff!" Ron said, squirming.

"Yeah." Harry said. "I-need-to-get-to-GINNY!" He said between wriggles.

"Okay, what's your excuse?" Luna said, pointing her wand to Hermione.

"He's my ex-boyfriend!" Hermione said.

She rounded on Ron. "Shes my little sister!"

And then Harry. "I want to go out with her!"

"Okay, here's the deal. Ron, she's twenty years old. She may be your younger sister, but you've got to let her go. She's little no more. Hermione, you dumped Liam, so you can't keep him from someone else. And Harry...you snooze you loose." She said harshly. "I'm going to take the curse off of you, and if any of you, Ron, try to go after her, Ron, then so help me...you don't want to know what will happen, Ron." She said seriously.

"Did you hear that, Hermione? She meant you." Ron said sarcastically.

"Unjellify!" Luna said, and once everyone was back on their feet, they shuffled back to their seats. Ginny returned soon after, smiling widely.

"What happened?" Harry said quickly.

"Whoa," Ginny said, overwhelmed. "What do you mean?"

"With Liam?" All four of them said.

"Oh." Ginny smiled mischievously. "We have a date tomorrow night."

Luna was the only one who was sincerely happy. Luckily, the awkward moment of fake happiness was short-lived as George entered the Leaky Caldroun.

"George!" They all greeted, except for Ron.

"Where've you been, mate?" Harry asked.

"Buying an apartment." He said simply, not looking at Ron.

"No, seriously, where have you been?" Ginny asked.

"Buying an apartment. I found one. You can see the paper, if you'd like." George said, taking it out.

"You found one already?" Hermione said impressed.

"Well, when you're as rich as I am, money's not a problem..." He said playfully.

"When do you move out?" Ron asked seriously.

"Uh...Saturday." George said, not making eye contact.

"Oh." Ron said.

"Where is it?" Luna asked.

"At the corner of Redwood and Fern." George said.

"No way, no way! I live two blocks down!" Luna gushed.

"Wicked!" George said happily.

"Merlin, this is going to be so much fun, we can walk to the park, and go out to breakfast..." Luna gushed.

"Wow, George, this apartment looks fancy." Hermione raved. "Can we see it?"

"By all means!" George said happily. "Grab your cloaks, let's go!"

"You coming, Ron?" He asked as everyone started to get up.

"Oh, no, I have to meet Lavender." He lied in an offhand voice.

"Suit yourself." George shrugged, and followed everyone else out the door.
