Chapter Sixteen: Oreo
"It's surprising how much dogs can feel our emotions."
╚══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╝
Ron Weasley woke up to the pleasant sound of chirping birds. Today was the day he would have fun and he was very much looking forward to it.
He had told Hermione to take a day off. Although she was reluctant at first, she agreed. Rose was excited and she kept hopping on Ron's feet when he told her he'd get ice cream.
Hence, with a cheerful mood, Ron ate his breakfast. Hermione had made them some toast and eggs and that was enough for the hungry redhead as he gobbled them up in an hurry.
"Ron, that's not table manners!" Hermione chided.
"'o 'ime lef 'se ate!" he mumbled in between chewing. Rose was giggling silently from her position on the table.
"We won't be late! Eat slow lest Rose learns your bad table manners," Hermione protested, feeding Rose a spoon of porridge. Ron paid no heed, causing his wife to huff in annoyance although a small smile was cracking her lips.
After breakfast, Ron left for the garage, telling Hermione that he was going to make sure the car was in shape for the ride. Hermione agreed and while he 'inspected' the car, she packed things and got ready.
The garage was filled with a faint music and as Ron approached the car, the music got louder.
"Just me and you, No matter the hurdles we will get through; Weakness is for the weak, I ain't caring, not a tweak; Coz it's just me and you, You and me, we will get through. . ."
"Ginny?" Ron asked slowly, worried about the lyrics of the song. Songs were played only when Ginny wanted her mood to cool off. A light shuffling was heard and the door clicked open. Ron locked the garage so that Hermione would not intrude their privacy and got into the car. He was greeted with a sad smile on his sister's face. "What's wrong?"
"I have got a new weakness, Ron. . ." she whispered. Her head hung low, letting her red hair fall down her shoulders and cover her face.
Deeply worried, Ron managed to croak out the question. "W-what is i-it?"
"An element. I don't know which. Mr Potter didn't either. He just told me I had a new weakness as I set my foot into limbo again. It is an element of nature which I cannot touch. If I do touch it, I will leave the mortal world eternally," she explained. "As usual, I remember the events of the limbo period after a while. . ."
"It's just a weakness, isn't it?" Ron asked, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "'Just me and you. No matter the hurdles we will get through.' We are in this together. We will face it, Ginny. Don't you worry!" even though Ron felt deeply concerned, he would be brave. The Gryffindor in him was driving him to be brave, what come may. He nodded when Ginny looked at him.
