Preparation (Hermione)

[Harry Potter]

Harry was surprised that they had opened the door for him to come in. Usually when Ron is upset you can't talk to him for days. He looked in rather brief and saw Haromine cross the room and sit on the floor on the other side of the room. He then looked back the other way and had seen Ron.


"Thanks for letting me in" he said to the two. "Look, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about what I said..it was out of line and I'm sorry. He looked over at Haromine who in turn just looked exhausted, and then back over at Ron.


"Ron, you are the heart of this group..my best friend and I couldn't do this without you" he said as he took a seat on the floor. Harry then took out his wand and with a wisp started a small little camp fire in the middle of the room. Harry then had a quick thought...a memory really.


"Ha, do you remeber the talks that we would have over one of these fires in this exact same room...just a few years ago?" he smiled and snickered at the two, in hopes that it would srike conversation and change the mood a bit.

[Ronald Weasley]

Ron felt bad as he watched Hermione. He knew he was being cruel but so often he felt pushed aside by the two who were supposed to be his best friends. "I'm not setting a damn thing up," Hermione retorted and Ron held her gaze. "how Harry asking me a question got turned into me planning everything, I don't really know. But it stops now!" Ron flinched slightly at the sudden raised voice. He wanted to apologize but this situation was not his fault.

"I don't know Ronald. This isn't my room, and he's talking to you." Hermione told him when Ron asked her to get the door. She completely misunderstood what he was saying but Ron decided not to say anything about it. When the door opened, Ron's green eyes were on Harry. The angry look was back on his face.

"Thanks for letting me in" Harry said and Ron scoffed. "Look, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about what I said..it was out of line and I'm sorry." Ron glanced at Hermione as well but said nothing. When Harry said his name however, he glared at the other male. "Ron, you are the heart of this group..my best friend and I couldn't do this without you" Ron felt himself soften just a little. With the fire, the room was much warmer and Ron was drawn towards the flames.

"Ha, do you remember the talks that we would have over one of these fires in this exact same room...just a few years ago?" Harry asked and Ron smiled a little now. The battle was more or less over. "We talked for hours." Ron said softly. He looked to Hermione and offered an apologetic grin.
