By the time id finished at Nevilles I couldn't use magic properly to get home so I had to apparate with Hannah's mum when they came back from their day out together. It was embarrassing to say the least, having to hold her hand like a child.
In my drunken state I must have told Hannah's mum the address I shared with Hermione, as I woke up on the couch we bought together only last year. I had a pillow and the spare blanket draped over me, plus I could see a handwritten note on the coffee table. It read...
Dear Ron,
Just because I didn't call the police or kick you out doesn't change anything. Plus I expect you to be gone by the time I come back.
Also I answered an owl for you from your mum, she sent 3 in 1 hour, she's clearly worried.
Goodbye
HermioneThe note has left me deflated, so sadly she has moved on, and I clearly not. I apparate to my mums but can't find the courage to enter. I call over Tony the owl they no longer use, and send a message to Harry.
Please let my mum know I'm at kings cross but that I need picking up. RonHarry never saw Tony so he won't know that I am hiding in my garden using their owl. Then when my parents leave I can get my things and leave for Hogwarts before it gets too late in the day. I wouldn't put it past Minerva giving me detention or lines for coming too late in the day, still she makes a great professor and an even better headmistress.
After hiding for almost an hour they have finally gone so I get my things and leave quickly, leaving only a note behind. I apparate back to hogsheads pub this time seeing Neville first.
"Hi Neville, any chance I can send an owl mate?"
"Course, but normal customers we charge"
"Of course no problem mate, I'll have a pumpkin juice as well, let me grab my coins."
After sending my owl I sit on a stool and sip my drink. I can't help but notice, when I'm not drunk, that this place hasn't changed, only the owners. I think back to my crush on the bar lady who used to work here, how I would blush and drool over her causing Hermione fits of jealousy. Thinking about Hermione hurts, I take another sip to distract myself.
Ten minutes go by, and just as I think she isn't going to reply and think about where I will sleep tonight I see her walking towards me.
"Good evening Mr Weasley, I hope you've been keeping out of trouble, although since you three never exactly separated I highly doubt it. You know most of my students refer to you all as the three, anyway I digress, what Ronald is so important you call me away from a quidditch match for?"
"Well Professor..."
"Call me Minerva, after all you are of wizarding age now, well continue... "
"Yes of course Minerva, I was just wondering if you could help me, not a big dangerous mission or ought like the last time I needed your help. Urm, I just wondered what I should do with my life, career counseling if you like. If it's not too much trouble"
"Ronald, it would be my pleasure, but not here I am running a school after all. Let's do it in my office."
So we begin a silent yet comfortable walk to Hogwarts and as I reenter the gates she looks at me kindly
"Welcome back Ronald"
