LlamaiiiiXlovesXseddie A/N: Okay sorry about the shortness of the last one… I just felt bad not having anything for you AWESOME readers to, well read. So anyway, I'm off to a semester school halfway across the US for my fall semester in less than 2 weeks. Any way I'll get writing, I've got LOTS to do, but I'll try my hardest to squeeze in writing some more!

When we last left our beloved characters: Ourcharming young couples had attempted to prove Rolf's innocence by use of Veritaserum.

"Is he? Did we? We- we killed him…" Ginny gasped, suddenly deathly pale.

Harry stood gaping at the sagging Rolf.

Hermione's hand flew to her mouth. Ron dropped his wand, and hurrying toward Hermione, pulling her into a hug. She began to shudder, "I didn't know, I didn't know… it, it would..." she sobbed in to Ron's shoulder as he hugged her tight.

"Harry what do we do?" Ron asked, looking over the bawling Hermione's shoulder at his best mate.

"I-I…" Harry stammered, rubbing the back of his neck.

"YOU KILLED HIM! HE JUST PROVED HE WAS INNOCENT AND YOU KILLED HIM!" Ginny screamed turning on Harry. She grabbed his shirt and pounded his chest with her fists, sobbing and yelling. He just winced and gently tried to calm her. "Ginny. Ginny." he pleaded, "Ginny please, Ginny."

"He could still be alive," Ron suggested hopefully, "Couldn't we get him to a healer?"

"And just where would we find one, here, IN AUSTRALIA? Huh Ronald?" Ginny demanded, tears streaming down her face.

"I don't know…" his head dropped on to Hermione's shoulder.

A silence filled the enchanted area surrounding the cart and five young people, as the sobs turned to silent sniffles. Ron felt Hermione shift, and she turned in his arms to face the slouching figure. She sighed, "I'm so sorry… I didn't know that could happen. I didn't know-"

"Hermione, we know you didn't…"Ron consoled, "We know. You'd never-" He said, grabbing her hand and giving it a squeeze.

Silence once again filled the area, only a slight rustling from the tree above them dared make a sound. Wellll, that is until Ron grunted, making three sets of eyes turn to see him rubbing the back of his head looking up towards a branch suspended over them.

"What the?" Ron said to himself, looking up at the tree.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"Something clunked me…" Ron answered, still searching the branches overhead, noticing a patch of brownish fur through the leaves.

Ginny knelt and picked up an acorn that was by her brother's foot, "Was this what hit you?"

Ron turned his attention to acorn his sister held up to him, "I dunno, that could have been it, but-"

A groan came from behind the three teens encircling Ron. Ron's eyes shot past the three, and they spun on their heels to see a beleaguered Rolf, stretching and wincing.

"He's Alive!" Ginny screamed, running to Rolf and helping him to stand.

"Are you alright, Mate?" Ron asked, stepping forward to take Rolf's weight from Ginny's smaller frame.

"I'm so sorry Rolf!" Hermione apologized.

"You're," Rolf winced, "Sorry for what? What happened?"

"We thought we killed you." Harry supplied.

"What?" Rolf asked, shifting as he tried to stand on his own.

"We gave you Veritaserum." Hermione replied.

"Yeah I remember that, but then it's a tad bit foggy." said Rolf.

"Well, you proved you were innocent, but," Ginny smiled.

"You must've had a bad reaction to the serum, 'cause you kinda passed out." said Harry, finishing her sentence.

"And we thought you were dead." Ginny added.

"I was dead? And I missed it? Aw bugger!" Rolf responded.

The four just stood looking at him in bewilderment. "What?" Ron asked.

"It was a joke, mates." Rolf smiled.

Still confused, the four teens laughed awkwardly.

"Well, can we make it up to you some how?" Harry asked.

"Like could we buy you a meal?" Hermione suggested.

"Lunch sounds great!" Ron interjected.

"Agreed." said Ginny.

"Well we weren't asking you," Harry laughed, smiling at Ginny who blushed.

"Weasleys' and their stomachs…" Hermione chuckled, shaking her head.

"I accept. An' I know just the place." Rolf replied, finally standing on his own.

"Great!" Ron said.

"But first we might want to clean up the cart…" said Hermione, her organizational habits showing.

"And finish ringing up your purchases." Rolf replied, kneeling to pick up the golden seashell necklace, once again laying precariously near a crack in the board walk. He then stood and placed the necklace on the cart's counter, as Ginny and Harry picked up the various items the boys had dropped. Ron slipped Rolfs wand out of his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Sorry, mate for not believing you."

Hermione meanwhile had been walking around the cart countering the anti-muggle charms she had cast earlier.

After all the to be purchased items were laying on the cart's counter, the charms countered and any evidence cleaned up, Ron asked, "Can we eat now?" The others laughed, and Rolf closed the cart up, locking the horizontal shudders with a flick of his wand before leading the Ginny, Harry, Hermione and Ron down the boardwalk.

When the five reached Rolf's destination, they found a long queue snaking into a small, yet obviously popular deli.

"Well it looks like we'll have to wait," Rolf said; Ron's stomach growled and he frowned. Rolf continued, "… but luckily for you I've got an advantage in this deli." He winked and squeezed though the line and out of sight.

The four teens walked across the board walk to a long bench across form the deli, and sat down, watching for Rolf to come back.

"Now that's an odd bloke there." Ron pointed to a pale teen with a green Mohawk walking past them.

"Ron, don't point, its rude." Hermione reprimanded.

Ron and Ginny rolled their eyes and Harry laughed.

"Ronald! Don't roll your eyes at me." She scolded.

"Don't tell me what to do, Hermione!" Ron responded.

"I will, Ron! Didn't your mother teach you better?" Hermione said, her voice getting louder.

"Oh, no, not again…" Ginny mumbled as she and Harry watched the two bicker.

"Yes! But I don't need you telling me what to do too!" Ron yelled.

"Oh But you do, CLEARLY!" Hermione yelled back.

Ginny grabbed Harry's hand and they stood and walked behind the bench, holding hands as they leaned on the Boardwalk's handrail, looking out on to the beach. Ron and Hermione continued to bicker.

"No, Hermione, I don't!"

"Yes you do RONALD!"

"No! I don't!"

"Yes! You do!"

"NO! I don't need my girlfriend bossing me around!"

"Ron you can be such a -" Hermione paused, and asked in a normal voice, "What? What did you say?"

"I SAID, I don't need my girlfriend bossing me around!" He repeated, still shouting.

"Girlfriend? I'm, I'm your…?" Hermione repeated, her voice a whisper.

"Well you're certainly not my mother!" Ron bellowed, still arguing.

"Ron," She said softly, "Oh Ron…" She smiled and wrapped her arms around him. Ron looked surprised, as he thought they were still arguing.

Hermione looked up at him as they hugged, sitting on the bench together. "I like it." She smiled, causing him to smile, and he caught her lips in his and began to kiss her.

Suddenly Ginny realized it was quiet, the sound of yelling had stopped and she and Harry turned to see Hermione and Ron snogging on the bench. Harry chuckled and shook his head.

"What is wrong with them?" Ginny said in disbelief.

Harry pointed at the bench and smiled, showing Ginny Ron's backwards trousers. She laughed and knelt down, and began to tie the drawstrings to the bench. Harry laughed as Ginny smiled mischievously, as she looked up at him after examining her work. He offered a hand and helped her up, pulling her towards him. They smiled and she turned in his arms to face their two snogging friends. Just then Rolf came squishing himself free from the crowd smiling as he approached his four new friends.

"Well I got us in, but you two seem a bit busy." Hermione freed her face from Ron and looked up at Rolf, turning red I the process.

"Hermione…" Ron complained.

"Ron! The foods ready!" Ginny told him. He suddenly looked up, eyes wide.

"Really?" Rolf nodded, and Ron grinned. "Good! I'm starved!"

Hermione laughed and stood up from the bench, putting her hand out to Ron. He stood to grab it but was pulled back in to the bench by the drawstrings of his shorts. Ginny burst out laughing and Harry followed suit. Hermione helped untie Ron, giggling as he glared at Ginny. He stood warily and Hermione came around the bench and grabbed his hand.

"Alright then, now we're off!" Rolf smiled, then lead them through the crowd into the deli, Ginny and Harry close behind, and Hermione and Ron behind them.
