Brunch seemed to go on a bit more smoothly after that. Ron's comment seemed to help everyone put aside their confusion and go on to talking of other topics. The adults talked of their families and of course sidetracked all the way through it, as always. Fred and George were talking to Andy of the new products they had been working on in hushed whispers, occasionally passing a nervous glance to Mrs. Weasley, hoping she could not hear of their most likely law breaking ideas. Ginny and Jane were trying to suppress giggles as they spoke of the times before when they were little.

Hermione and Susan of course stayed silent for some time, trying to calm themselves from their uprising, but as soon as the girls settled down, they riled themselves right back up again. Hermione was trying desperately to keep Ron's attention, which was so hard since Susan could be quite persuasive and was extremely flirtatious. Of course, Ron had difficulty noticing her attempts to have him fall under her spell, but that still did not stop the unspoken battle between the two girls.

Although Hermione was annoyed, she was not worried. Susan would be leaving soon after brunch and then Ron would be all hers. She could not help feeling jealous, but pushed aside her feelings about it whenever the thought of what her 'surprise' could be later on that day.

"Ron," Susan exclaimed, "I didn't know you're on the quidditch team! And you're keeper! That's my favorite position. I really want to see you play sometime!" This was all said with so much enthusiasm that Hermione was disturbed beyond reason.

"Well, I'm not terrible either," said Ron casually. He loved to tell or recant his story of winning the biggest game of their fifth year.

"I bet you're the best on the team! No, the best in Hogwarts!" Susan replied, again sounding almost fake.

"Well, he is, you know! He's the best keeper I've ever seen!" Hermione butted in. "He even blocked every shot in one of the games! He was—is amazing!"

Susan glared, but for once did not try to make a comment back. "Ron after brunch, may I talk to you?"

"Well, I guess—"

"No, he can't!" Hermione interrupted, she was not having Susan the one thing that was going to save her day from being not worth anything at all. "He promised me he'd give me a surprise!"

"A surprise? What do you mean?" Susan asked.

"Well, I told Hermione we'd do something today, but I wouldn't tell her what," Ron answered.

"Oh, I could come too you know! It'd be fun!" Susan smiled at Ron.

"Won't you be going home?" Hermione snarled. Susan glared, but Ron did not hear her.

"Sure. That'd be okay," Ron said. "Is that okay, Hermione?"

"Erm, Ron, I was hoping—"

"Alright, it's settled then, we'll all go!" Susan exclaimed and turned back to her plate with Hermione so angry she seemed to have steam coming from her ears.

A/N: Yeah, short chapter, but hopefully everyone will forgive me. Please, review!
