After a very satasfying dinner, Hermione got up from the table. “I have to send a letter to my parents. I told them that I was spending the night at your house, Ron, but only for a night. They must be worried sick!” Hermione ran upstairs towards Ginny’s room to write to her very worried parents.
“So, where am I going to stay tonight? I can’t go back to my aunt and uncle’s house. That will defiantly give me an invitation to my room all summer.” Harry rested his head on his fists, massaging his forehead.
“Harry, dear. You can stay here until you can go to your house.” Mrs. Weasley offered.
“Thank you, Mrs. Weasley.”
“No problem dear. Now, go off to bed. You must have had a horrible week.” Ron and Harry rushed off to Ron’s room.
“Do you think that Hermione will be alright? I really hope she doesn’t get into trouble.” Ron stated.
“She’ll be fine, but what about me? Her parents will understand. She could just say that she couldn’t get back and couldn’t send anything to them. My ‘family’ won’t care if I almost died. In fact, they are probably going to be disappointed that I didn’t die! Harry plopped down onto Ron’s bed.
“You will be fine. I am lucky that I didn’t get punished. Once, Fred and George set off firecrackers in the house and they got out of hand. My mother flipped. They were grounded all summer!” Ron fell backwards right next to Harry on his bed.
Ron’s bedroom door opened up to show Mrs. Weasley holding a pillow and a few blankets. “Ronald, set up your bed on the floor. Harry can sleep on your bed tonight.”
“That’s alright Mrs. Weasley. I can sleep on the ground. It won’t be that bad.” Harry offered.
“Oh no. That won’t be heard of! Now, Ronald. Take these blankets so you can make your bed. Hurry, hurry, hurry!” Mrs. Weasley set the blankets on the floor and turned to leave. “Good night boys.”
“Good night Mrs. Weasley.”
“Good night mom.” Mrs. Weasley walked out of the room. “So, what do you want to do?” Ron got off his bed and started making his bed.
“Right now? Really Ron? Right now, I want to sleep and rest my aching body and to forget what is going to happen to me tomorrow.” Harry turned around on his side and fell asleep right away.
When Ron was done, he went to get into his ‘bed’, but Hermione opened the door and peered into the room. “Hey, Ron. Is Harry asleep yet?”
“Yep. He fell asleep right away.” Ron stood up and opened up the door all the way. “Hermione, get in.”
Hermione tiptoed in and closed the door silently. “Are you worried that the Death Eaters will somehow come in? I know I am.”
“Well, I am just worried that they will take Harry again. I can’t go two days without food!”
“Ron! Shhh. I was thinking that while Harry was sleeping we could take watch.”
“You know that you aren’t allowed in here.”
“I know.”
“He’ll be fine.”
“That’s what you said before, and look what that got us into.”
“Harry’s right there. I’ll watch him.”
“Good. Can I stay here right now?”
“I don’t think that that is a very good idea. I suggest that you get out because I can hear my mom coming up RIGHT NOW! Get out!” Ron was pushing Hermione out the door. “Go into Ginny’s room now.” Hermione ran down the hallway towards Ginny’s room.
Ron got into his bed and pretended to go to sleep. Mrs. Weasley walked into the room and looked at the boys. They were safe.
