It had been two years since the war at Hogwarts and everything seemed to have returned to normal. Ron still missed Fred and it showed whenever he turned up to work at his brother's shop, but he didn't let it affect him too much. Fred would have wanted him to continue. It wasn't too long after the war; sometime during the year Ron went back to school to finish his N.E.W.T's, that he and Hermione had started dating. She was the first girl Ron had gone out with properly, when he wasn't under a love potion.
It hadn't been long since he'd recently finished his shift at his brothers shop. Ron was planning on meeting Hermione somewhere in town but they hadn't decided on an actual place. He'd nipped into Gringotts and got some money out which jingled in his pocket. Ron was happy to have money; he didn't take it for granted because of how he'd been before. He also liked the fact he earnt it himself. Ron bit his lip and ran a hand through his ginger hair before leaning against the wall of a closed down shop; wondering where Hermione was.
