Harry,Ron and Hermione met Ginny on the way downstairs. Ginny said,
"Hello,Harry! I heard you shouting. What's up with you? Why are you so happy?"
"No reason!",  Harry lied. He knew that if he told Ginny about it,she would laugh to death.
Fred said, "Maybe,we could still hear something!"
"I tried but the door's been put under an Impertubable Charm."
Fred groaned, "What did they have to do that for?!"
"Shut up,Fred! They'll hear us!", Hermione scolded. Fred fell silent. He knew better than to upset Hermione. There were footsteps heard outside and a slam of the door told them that the meeting was over. Harry took Hermione's hand and walked downstairs with her. Mrs Weasley opened the door to the kitchen. To his joy, Remus Lupin,his third-year Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher,was standing there.
"Harry Potter."
"Professor!"
Harry,not being embarrassed,gave him a big hug which he gladly returned. After he let go,he noticed that Ron was looking smug and Hermione was smiling widely. Harry,again,took notice of the reduction in her teeth the year before. Mrs Weasley pointed to the chair but before she could say anything, a loud screech filled the kitchen.
"BLOOD TRAITORS! MUDBLOODS AND FILTH! SCUM BEFOULING THE HOUSE OF MY FATHERS!"
"Shut it!", Harry yelled. When it didn't work except she only screamed more louder,Hermione bellowed,
"SHUT UP!!"
The woman fell silent,shocked. Even though she stopped yelling,she was muttering,
"Mudblood! Filth! Deserves to be dead!"
A voice,which Harry recognised as his godfather,Sirius Black,said,
"What was that?"
"YOUUU! BLOOD TRAITOR! HOW DARE YOU RETURN TO THE NOBLE HOUSE OF BLACK!"
"I SAID SHUT UP!!"
Again she fell silent,this time without muttering. Harry was so happy that he kissed Hermione so hard that she nearly fell. Harry saw Sirius gag but smile,Mrs Weasley was smiling widely and Ron and Ginny were,for some reason,looking angry. When they pulled apart,Hermione looked at him and said,
"Was I really worth that?"
"No,you're always worth that. And I'll love you forever."
"Y-you love me?", she said,a tear falling down her cheek.
"Yes,I do.", he said,wiping it off.
Ron's voice interrupted.
"We were eating dinner,weren't we?"
Mrs Weasley replied,
"Yes,come on,Harry,Hermione."
Harry sat next to Hermione and Ron whose ears were red,always a sign of danger. Harry was confused but thought that he better not ask him why. As both Harry and Hermione reached for the stew,their hands bumped into each other. They both blushed deeply but Harry put some stew onto Hermione's plate. Ron pretended to accidentally throw Hermione's plate down.
"Whoops! Sorry,Hermione!"
"It's......okay.", she finally finished. Harry knew that she,too,thought that Ron was faking. She picked up the remains of her plate,took out her wand and muttered, "Reparo"
The plate immediately returned to its normal position before Ron had thrown it down. The rest of the dinner seemed to go well. By the time supper was over,Harry felt as if he was normal although he knew that this was far from the end.
