Road to...Love

Suspects

"What happened with you both?" Asked Ginny to Harry and Hermione as they make themselves comfortable in their living room.

Ron sitting beside Hermione wrapped an arm around her. Caressing her shoulder, Ron asked, "What is it 'mione?"

"Something is not right" said Hermione breaking the silence.

"Meaning?"

"I think we are being betrayed" said Hermione in a serious note.

"Who?" Asked Ginny sitting up, who was laid back on the couch.

"Parkinson"
"Zacharias"
Both Harry and Hermione said together.

"What??" Asked Harry when Hermione had the same confused look on her forehead.

"What are you talking about??" Asked Hermione.
"What are YOU talking about??" Asked back Harry thrusting on the word 'you' .

"I noticed that Parkinson. You know when Zacharias and Malfoy entered into a row, Parkinson had a glint in her eyes" said Hermione.

"Zacharias was overhearing mine and Malfoy's conversation" revealed Harry to the intent looking group.

"But how does that prove anything. You know we can't trust Malfoy. It's kind of Smith's helping us" said Ron.

"Ron's right Harry" said Hermione in agreement.

"Just before that Malfoy gave me a strange riddle...." Said Harry when all the three reciever's were having same frown on their forehead, " ...It was Even the stars throw out their extra baggage" .

"What does it mean?" Asked Ginny when the rest three were immersed in deep thought.

"He is talking about the shooting stars Ginny. Just like one among the constellation falls down....."

".....and extra baggages means the one who don't contribute, of no use or creates a hindrance....Betray..." Completed Ron thoughtfully.

"Ron's right" said Neville when the rest turned around with a jerk.

"When did you appear??" Asked Ginny astonishingly.

"Oh just a minute ago. I wanted to talk to you guys so I apprated here....." Said Neville, " but... I ended up in the garden"  he completed scratching the back of his head.

Neville had soil and gnomes all around himself.
"Ouch!" He shrieked when a gnome bit him.

"Come to my room Neville. Take a shower and change into a fresh pair of clothes" saying Ron took him up to the room giving up a little shriek again.

"Those biting gnomes, we need to clear the garden..." Said Ginny screeching.

"Let's do it then. We'll discuss it later on" said Hermione and they walked towards the garden.

("Neville I kept your clothes on my bed. I am going to the garden, when you are done, come" shouted Ron from outside the bathroom.

"Ouch! Yes -Oww!! I will" replied Neville. Shaking his head Ron moved down the stairs towards the garden. )

Hermione Harry and Ginny all three were busy degnoming the garden, when Ron joined them.
Ginny looked wide-eyed towards her brother seeing his interest in degnoming the garden. Harry and Ginny share quick glances and looked away smiling.

"Uhh..." Hermione let out while she was struggling with her bushy locks falling on her face. Her hands were covered with soil and those forearm of hers wasn't helping at all.

"I'll help" said Ron and removed the bushy lock from her eyes. The lock again fell on her face, Ron again put it behind her ear, but these tiny locks were just simply boycotted by those heavy bushes behind her ear.
