Summer Love - Ron Weasley

40 - Hogsmeade & The Three Broomsticks

It's Saturday and Ron, Hermione, Harry, and I are walking to Hogsmeade. I was walking through the snow and kicking it.

It looks so beautiful as it flies around. I love the tranquility it brings me. I turn back to the group as Hermione begins speaking.

"You've been walking around with that book all week, probably even slept with it, and yet you have no desire to find out who the Half-Blood prince is?" Hermione inquires.

"I didn't say I wasn't curious and I don't sleep with it!" Harry exclaims, rolling his eyes.

"But, it's true. I like a nice chat before I go to bed but all you do is read that bloody book!" Ron says as he's groaning.

We walk in silence for a while until Hermione speaks up again.

"Well, I was curious so I went to the-." Hermione begins.

"The library." Harry, Ron, and I say in unison.

"And?" Harry questions before looking at her.

"And nothing. I couldn't find a reference anywhere to a Half-Blood Prince.." Hermione huffs out.

"There we go. That settles it then." Harry says as we heard Slughorn's voice.

"Filius, I was hoping to find you in The Three Broomsticks." Slughorn exclaims, looking down at Professor Flitwick.

"Ah,no. Emergency choir practice I'm afraid, Horace." Flitwick says with a chuckle.

He begins walking in our direction and walks past us.

"Does anyone fancy a butterbeer?" Harry questions.

We all murmur in agreement as we trudge through the snow, making our way to The Three Broomsticks.

We enter and see it's filled with people. Hermione spots Luna and leaves to go with her, ditching me with Harry and Ron. Ron begins to sit next to me and Harry stops him.

"No! Sit next to me." Harry tells him, his eyes darting to the bar.

"Um, okay." Ron shrugs.

He walks over to the empty chair next to Harry and takes a seat.

"Something to drink?" a waiter comes and asks us.

"Uh, three butterbeers and some caramel in mine please." I tell him.

I spot Crabbe walking to the bathroom and not long after that, Harry does as well.

He follows him with his gaze until Crabbe closes the bathroom door. I see Ron's gaze fall on Ginny and Dean. I smile as he scoffs.

"Oh, bloody hell." Ron says, rolling his eyes.

Here we go.

"Slick git." Ron mumbles.

"Honestly, Ron. They're only holding hands." I state, turning back to Dean and Ginny.

They began kissing passionately as I turn away suddenly. That is a bit embarrassing to watch on my end.

"And snogging ." I mutter.

"I'd like to leave." Ron states.

As soon as the waiter brings over the butterbeers, Rob tries to get up and leave.

"What? You can't be serious." I scoff.

"That happens to be my sister." Ron exclaims, looking between me and them.

"So? You're acting as if he's shagging her on the table. Besides, what if she looked over here and saw you snogging me? What, would you expect her to get up and leave?" I ask with a chuckle.
