In the end can they just pretend?
Ronald Weasley had hit rock bottom, his life as he knew it was over. He had lost everything. Well not everything, but it felt like the life he had imagined for himself was over. And his family wasn't helping him. Th...

Upon waking the next morning, Ron noted that he felt much colder than he usually did. As if the covers had fallen off him overnight. Yet when he reached slightly to the left hand side he noted that indeed the covers appeared to have remained over him. Yet there was a distinctive breeze. A breeze that when he felt to the right hand side would reveal that not only were the covers drawn on that side but the bed was suspiciously empty. Knowing he went to sleep with someone beside him Ron was confused at first as to why the bed was empty. There was no clear sign of sun dancing through the partially drawn windows. There was no indication there was nay need for them to be up and doing anything.
This caused the man to sit himself up in the bed, his eyes searching around the room for anything which would inform him of the time. Pondering if he had slept in rather late. Yet as he listened in to the sound of the shower running he remained a little bit confused. He supposed he would just have to sit and wait and see what was going on. To his knowledge there was nowhere he was supposed to be at that time. The family had no plans that they were all supposed to go upon, actually he wasn't sure there was much of an itinerary. Other than of the day of this mother's birthday Ron didn't think there was anything in specific they were supposed to do for the rest of their trip. The door of the ensuite creaked open slightly and Ron looked over to see Claudia enter the main room again, completely oblivious to the fact that he was awake. Until she looked over and saw him sat up.
"Oh good morning Ronald. Sleep well?" She questioned and Ron gave her a curt nod in response at first.
"Morning, do you have the time?" He wanted answers to the question he could not find on his own. Claudia moved over to where her jewellery had been left the night prior, moving to the wristwatch he had seen her wear most of the time.
"It's about 20 past 8." Claudia replied after taking a second or so to read the watch choosing to strap it back on rather than place it down. Ron chose not to reply to her and move from the bed making his way over to the dresser of which they had unpacked their belongings in just prior to heading to bed the night before. He questioned for a moment what to say to her now, wanting to continue on the conversation but also knowing there was not an exact need to fill all the silences when it came to just the two of them. Not like there had been a need prior.
"Are we supposed to be doing something today?" Ron chose to move onto the actual plan, see if there was nothing they particularly had to do that if there was something she wanted to do.
"There was talk last night about heading into the surrounding area for a little look."
"Oh they are so going to embarrass us." Ron groaned at her words knowing how easy it would be for his family to make a mistake and completely ruin the public's opinion of them. Even if they had gotten better at blending in with the muggle society over the years since he was a young teenager. But he knew that with all of them present it was very likely things would go wrong.
