Maroon and Logic
Ron PoV
"Why is my sweater always maroon? They get to have the cool colours, even you." Ron slouched as he gestured towards the twins and then to Harry.
Hermione bounded over go them holding her photo frame and quills set which Harry had gifted her and a new robe from Ron, which most probably Ginny must have chosen.
"Thank you, guys! You are the best!" As she hugged and kissed each on the cheek.
They had understood by now how much Hermione loved and appreciated things other than books. As books were gifted to her every Christmas by someone or the other, they always tried to do something different.
"Hermione, you tell Ron. He's complaining again," Harry rolled his eyes, "about the colour of his sweater."
She turned towards him, if not for the things in her hands she would have kept them on her hips. But the effect was there, all the same.
"Ronald Weasley, you better stop complaining about that this year. It's been on since our school days. She made this for you with love, knitted it herself. And she understands that the maroon brings out you eyes and goes well with your hair. You can't wear orange, which I know you want, with that hair of yours!" Her pitch was low but was equally frightening to Ron, as she eerily imitated his mother at the moment.
"Okay, 'Mione. Oh, there I see Fleur. I'll go and thank her for my new shoes." And he went off before Hermione or Harry could answer.
Harry looked at Hermione bemusedly, "I think you did it this time. Though he won't be ready to think it through now, he'll accept your sound logic by the time next Christmas comes around."
"He better. I had anticipated this. And I know how he hurts Molly every time he complains. I had talked with her about this and we discussed possible colours for him. But maroon will always suit him the best, even if he complains."
"Hmm, well you won't hear any arguments from me. I am not brave enough to argue with you over logic. No complaints but you are one scary witch, 'Mione." He smiled.
"Prat!"
Guys, I'm disappointed. Four chapters at once and not one review. Reviews motivate me to write faster and better.
Otherwise, I'd like to thank those who've followed and favorited this story:-)
