INT.GREAT HALL- MORNING

Ron enters the hall, eyes lowered, knuckles tapped for Qudditch, flexing his fingers anxiously as he makes for the Gryffindor table. Neville passes going the other way.

"QUIDITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Neville: Good Luck, eh, Ron?

Ron nods shortly, the seamous comes up on his side, whispering conspiratorially

Seamus: Counting on you, Ron, I've got two Galleons on Gryffindor.

As Seamus peels off, Ron cuts his eyes towards the Slytherin table where the Quidditch team sits together. One Slytherin juts his chin towards Ron and mutters something. A few turns snigger. Ron averts his eyes and almost runs into Cormac, who eyes him with disdain as he passes. Frowning, Ron drops down opposite Harry and Hermione as Susan sits next to him with her hand interwined with his. Sahithi eyes him briefly as she pushes a plate across. Ron takes a fork and pokes as it glumy 

Ron: So, how was it?

Hermione continues to read the Prophet, unaware of Ron's mood

Hermione: How was what?

Ron: Your Dinner party?

Hermione: Dead boring

Sahithi: Trust me, Ron, you won't want to be there so awkward

Harry and Susan nod at that

Susan: Ol'Sluggysis is having a Christmas do you know, and we're meant to bring someone

Susan turns towards Ron as he looks at her

Susan: Will you be my date, Ronnie?

Ron smiles and kisses her cheek

Ron: I will, my love

Susan hugs him as he smiles at her, looking down at his arm

Lavender Brown passes by

Lavender: Good Luck today, Ron! I know you'll be brilliant!

"Fuck no"

" Sahithi!"

"Sorry, mama."

Ron smiles awkwardly as Susan glares at her

Sahithi, Ron, Nishanth, and Hermione share a glance

Ron looks back down at his plate

Ron: I'm resigning after today's match. McLaggen can have my spot

Harry and Sahithi share a glance

As Harry pushes the drink 

Harry: Have it your way, juice?

Hermione, Nishanth, and Susan look at them in shock

Ron just sighed

Ron: Sure

Luna arrives at the table wearing a hat that bears an uncanny resemblance to a real lion

Sahithi: Little moon, you look beautiful

Stefan hugs Luna, saying

" So true"

Luna smiles at Sahithi

Luna: Hello, everyone, you look dreadful, Ron

Ron nods grimly and lifts his glass

Luna turns to Harry
