It was cold and misty at Hogwarts on that night. Ron just finished practicing Quidditch with Ginny her sister which is now the new seeker of the Gryffindor House due to Harry having a lifelong ban not to play by Umbridge for hitting Malfoy in the stomach after the match with the Slytherin House the other day. All thanks to Harry for finding the snitch early so the Slytherins will not earn more points as the times progress.
Well Ron is not quite good in being the keeper, one second his riding on the broom he had the next he was holding for his dear life gripping the handle of the broom tighter so he would not fall for about 50 ft in the field. It did not motivate him so much plus what the Slytherins were singing during the competition, which made him more depressed, letting a few quaffles being tossed inside the rings he should be guarding.
Being drenched on his own sweat he and Ginny make their way through the Common Room towards Harry and Hermione sitting by the farthest sofa near the warm fireplace. The Gryffindor common room was still packed by students but you could still hear the ruckus Fred and George are doing , trying to sell their vanishing hats to the first years accompanied by Lee Jordan.
The common room was brightly illuminated by and old looking chandelier ,with walls that are made of stone bricks where pictures of wizards and the announcement board were hanged , as seconds passed more students enter the common room through the fat ladys portrait hole.
" Hi Harry, and Hermione" Ron happily greeted while wiping sweat from his forehead with his robes that seemingly took a dip in the lake .
" Hi there " added Ginny taking a seat besides Hermione while Ron sat near Harry which is staring at his piece of parchment clearly bored, while Hermione still memorizing the spells as fast as she can and taking a look at her book most of the time. Her face was almost completely covered by her curly brown colored hair but quickly brushed it aside then returned in memorizing the spells.
"Hey." replied Harry still staring down at his piece of parchment as if waiting for something to appear on it.
"Err - Hi Ron , Ginny" he added after coming back to his senses then readjusting his glasses which is close to falling off his face.
"So what are you two doing , homework?" asked Ron looking down on the parchment Harry was holding then to his face noticing that he is still in daze.
Noticing that Ron was staring at him Harry's face turned light pink suddenly with no way to hide it without putting hands on his face he made an excuse then said goodnight to the three of them leaving them in the warmth of the fireplace.
"What's up with him " muttered Ron quite confused why Harry left. Looking around he saw Ginny just munching on a Apple pie slice which is not there a minute ago.
"Done"Hermione blurted out placing the piece of parchment in her bag then face toward's Ron.
"Don't mind him he's just thinking something and needed a rest, and well you know why" assured Hermione.
"And by the way Ron, taking a bath doesn't kill you" she added before strutting off to the girls dormitory and saying goodnight to him and Ginny.
Feeling a little embarrassed Ron asked Ginny if he do stink which Ginny gave a nod of agreement.
Saying goodnight to her sister he immediately run towards to the boys dormitory. Dropping the bag and some of his stuff on his bed near Harry's and notice that its vacant.
"Taking a stroll I think " he muttered to himself placing his Clean Sweep Seven besides his bed and started to undressed himself , removing his sweat drenched robes leaving only with his boxers.Grabbing a towel from his trunk he shuffled off to the showers.
