Ron has been on edge for the past week. Hermoine and Harry had noticed him being jumpy and just more down than their normal beloved Ron Weasley. Though they never said anything about it, hoping that it would just ware off or they just didn't know what to do with him. Either way, now it has been long enough that Harry and Hermoine were now having conversations about how or what they were going to do. So now here they sat together in the common room, Ron writing what they assumed was a Ruins since neither of them have essay's from any of their other classes. They have those a lot both Hermoine and Harry had thought of multiple times before.
"So, um Ron," Hermoine tried to start and Harry nodded at her with encoegily before Ron looked up at them.
"What?" Ron says looking at them with suspicion in his eyes. With being friends with Harry Boy Who Lived Potter you never know what the hell is going to happen to you next. Or some hair-brain scheme that he was going to be dragged into it.
"We have noticed that you have been down in the dumps lately and we as your best friends want to be able to help you. So what is going on? Have Dean and Seamus been keeping you up? I can help you with a silencing charm-" Harry picks off and starts going off in his own direction.
"Stop. No that is not it-nor is there any problem to speak of." Ron says and went back to work. His tone spoke more than the words he said which is "Stop This Topic Now." Hermoine and Harry both took the hint and let it drop.

Lee was having the best time of his life. His radio show has been going just up and up with more and more fans. Along with writing some articles in The Daily Prophet and Witch Weekly along with the stary Quibbler article when Xenophilius Lovegood needs someone to pick up a little extra. Then in addition to all this greatness of his life, he was going steady with his 6-year-long boyfriend Fred Weasley.
To just think, he was just a lowly underground student newspaper writer and now his job is just to do it all. He didn't have to be a Quidditch player commenter, he could be a radio spokesperson and write as much as he liked. Not that he wouldn't love to do the Quidditch World Cup sometime but we all have some crazy goal.
But one of the drag sides is doing all the proper paperwork with the Ministry For Magic along with asking of being an announcer for certain events (that he was totally not just constantly panicking about how people thought he was this important to do so or how he was gotten here). Still, ist sucked having to read the whole letter and send a just as detailed reply. He made that mistake one time and never will he do it again.
Fred was making dinner since Lee would probably somehow die if he tried to right now. Lee also hoped that his boyfriend got the hint that if he did some prank he would not see the light of day by the end. This was when he found a letter that he was not expecting to find for a while.
To Lee Jordan
From R
The message was loud and clear from just a simple letter. It was from Ron and it was clear that he did not want his older brother to know about it. This was quite odd considering the fact that Ron would send weekly letters about how his life at school was going and he would leave a side of the paper that was spelled so only Lee could read it. It would be about the random weird things he found out and how awful it was trying to find things out while keeping a cover. But he had already sent the letter for the week and it was only addressed to R.
He placed it in the folder he usually takes to bed which had stuff for the radio or anything for the articles that he is working on. That would make sure Fred would not find it because the folder was one of the "scared" things in the house. These were items that Lee and Fred agreed would not be used for anything for pranks that either might do after Lee used a product that Fred had brought home which was the only one they had. Still, the duck that it was now permanently is still in the bathroom and quite cute if he says so himself.
Before he could even think again about just reading the letter Fred had come into Lee's office saying that dinner was ready and Lee just left it there to be read later.
After a marvelous dinner made by his wonderful boyfriend (Lee needs to add writing a letter to Molly thanking her for teaching her children how to do amazing cooking spells), they were both laying in their bed, Fred writing a letter to an old store owner in Hogsmed that he and George are looking for making a second location, that he would have George look through before sending it off. Lee was reading the important notes for the next day. Writing down notes for himself tomorrow you know the fact or alleged stuff which was mostly about the hell of the trail that the ex-minister Fudge and all the corruption that was going on and all the things he let slide while in office. It was times like this when Lee was glad for Fred's brother Percy to go over all this stuff with him to have the facts right. Lee snorts at the thought of his past self's reaction to the amount of time he has spent with Percy let alone enjoying it. Though Oliver has mellowed him out some so maybe not be much of a shock.
"What's so funny babe?" Fred asks putting more than enough effense into the word 'babe'. Lee gives him an over-extracted look of disgust and fake gaged and Fred just laughed.
"Oh don't, you act like you didn't cringe your way through the word I saw your face," Lee says shaking his finger at Fred who just laughed some more, and this time Lee joined him.
"Anyways," Fred starts after they both stopped laughing. "Why were you laughing? Also, are you doing anything tomorrow at 12-1ish?" Fred asks.
"First, I was just thinking about random stuff. Second, no, remember I am going over to my mom's house so she can help me do new braids. Why? Are you trying to ask me out in a weird way?" Lee jokes and Fred flushes a bit, Lee had made it his mission to never let Fred forget how he asked him "If he was free." Then Lee joked asking if he was asking him out and Fred just about died. What a start for a romance.
"No, I was just wondering if you could over to shop and give a more well-respected way of summarizing the business to the owner. I don't think they are the kind of person who would, um, ger what I and George are and how we act. You know that some business people hate people making jokes like me and George can't do." Fred says laughing nervously at the end.
"Fred, you and Gerogre are going to do great. Even if you do the dumbest thing in the world during the meeting they will say yes. Your business is growing great it would not be crazy for you to go down there. It would bring a lot of business to Hogesmeed. We should know considering when the Muggle Bookstore opened there were a lot more people going and it blew up for the Hogwarts students and the general of the wizarding Britain that is. People were everywhere. Remember? We could barely leave the house to get some food. But if it makes you feel any better I could write a script of sorts for you to follow." Lee says and Fred gives him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks, darling," Fred says now getting more comfortable to go to bed. "Night,"
"Night," Lee says and puts down the folder on the nightstand and turns off the lamp. Getting cuddled up in his bed with his boyfriend, forgetting the letter that was left in the folder that was left completely unopened.
