Hey, so this is just a story that I've had on my computer for ages and I didn't know whether to upload it or not so I just did and I thought I'd see what kind of feedback it received :)

Read and review please

Ron Weasley was angry. No, Ron Weasley was furious!

He dropped the parchment letter in his hand as if it had burnt him and it fell to floor with a small clunk that echoed through Ron's ears.

He gulped and ran a hand through his already matted hair before bending down and picking up the letter again so that he could read it thoroughly. Opening up the parchment, he looked down at the neat script upon it

BRITISH MINISTRY OF MAGIC

MINISTER OF MAGIC: KINGSLEY SHACKLEBOLT

DEPARTMENT OF MAGICAL LAW INFORCEMENT

AUROR OFFICE

Dear Mr Ronald Bilius Weasley,

I am sorry to inform that you have been excluded from the Auror programme until further notice.

Throughout the year so far, you have already failed a total of two Potions tests, one Charms test, and one Transfiguration test; I am sorry to say that that is not acceptable and The Minister of Magic has been so kind as to offer you a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the remaining six months of your education before you return to train as an Auror. We recommend that you accept this offer as it may give you a chance at a new life. If you choose to decline this offer then we at the Auror office will never be able to accept you into the programme again.

You have until tomorrow to reply and if you choose to return to Hogwarts you must floo to Headmistress Professor McGonagall's office on Sunday morning at precisely 8:30 am.

Choose wisely

Yours Sincerely,

Gawain Robards

Head of the Auror Office

Ron felt faint as the world continued to spin around him. He had basically been sacked without even receiving a job yet. He was a failure and his mother would be extremely disappointed in him.

Both she and Hermione had told him that he should have returned to Hogwarts to complete his final year but he had ignored them and now look where it had landed him, lesson of the day: Never ignore Hermione Granger and Molly Weasley as they are always right.

He started as something else tapped at the window in front of him. He looked up to see a beautiful tawny owl knocking its head against the window, a small envelope in its mouth. Ron didn't recognise this owl but it must have been for him since he was the only one downstairs.

He opened the window and let the owl soar into the unusually silent kitchen, it perched itself on the frame of a chair and waited for Ron to take the letter from its mouth. Ron did and opened the letter to reveal the slightly scruffy writing of his best friend.

Ron,

I heard about your exclusion from Robards.

Sorry mate, but I think your best choice would be to return to Hogwarts.

Just think, Hermione will also be there, perhaps you could flourish your relationship again.

I really hope you can return to the Auror Office after your education.

Your mate Harry

P.S. The owl is officially mine now, so when you see this owl. You'll know that I'm writing to you

P.P.S. Tell Ginny that I miss her please

Ron sighed before placing the letter on the table, beside the more formal one, and letting Harry's new owl fly out of the window. The bang of the closing window seemed to awaken people from their slumber.

"Ron? Ron is that you?" a voice called as the soft noise of slippers on stairs sounded.

"Yeah mum, I was just answering some- some owls I received"

"Oh, did you get any from Ginny, she hasn't written in ages"

Ron frowned, that was true, he hadn't heard from both his sister of Hermione in months. He figured they were probably just busy with homework but when he and Harry received a letter to meet up with Neville and Luna during the Christmas holidays he began to think that Ginny and Hermione were avoiding both him and Harry. It would be good to see them again.

Molly Weasley appeared in the doorway and smiled at her youngest son before walking over to him.
"Good morning Ron, who were the letters from?"

"Um..." Ron didn't know whether to tell his mother about his job but he supposed he had to; he couldn't just leave to Hogwarts for sixth months without his mother noticing something was wrong. He passed her the Auror letter and he watched her face fall as she read it. Then, to Ron's surprise, she smiled at him.

"Thank Merlin; I really wanted you to return to Hogwarts for your last year"

Ron was shocked but how calm his mother was taking this.

"You mean you're not angry?"

"Of course not, I always wanted you to finish your NEWTs anyway"

Ron smiled at his mother before tucking Harry letter into his pocket and sitting down at the table to write a reply for both letters.

Molly sat down opposite him and also began to write a letter.

Ron wrote his first reply to the Auror Office.

Dear Mr Gawain Robards,

Thank you for your offer and I would like to accept the placement into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

I hope to see you again in seven months time

Ronald Weasley

Then he wrote one to Harry;

Harry,

I'm taking it; I'm taking the placement and going to Hogwarts for the next six months. But don't worry; I'll see you in a few weeks for the Christmas holidays anyway

I hope that your training goes well and that you become a great Auror

Of course I'll tell Ginny you miss her, even though I think you should write to her.

Thanks for the advice on Hermione; I will take it into account

Your best friend Ron

Then he sealed up the parchment into their envelopes and placed them on the table to wait for his mother to finish writing her letters. When she had finished she too sealed it up and wrote one word on the front of the envelope;

Ginny

"I hope she replies to this one, I'm practically begging her to come and stay for Christmas and to bring Hermione with her"

"Harry wants to see her again"
"I don't doubt that, so do I"

"Me too" Ron mumbled before giving the letters to his mother to send, he then made his way back upstairs to pack his bag for Sunday.

He was just throwing his school robes into his trunk when a loud clicking noise came from the window. He spun around to see the tawny owl that Harry said belonged to him tapping on the glass pane again.

"Do you have a name?" he mumbled as he opened the door to let the owl fly in again. It perched itself on his bed frame and dropped the letter on his duvet.

Ron opened the letter and read it; it was only a few words anyway. A few very shocking words.

Ron

She dumped me

Your sister dumped me for some other random guy at Hogwarts!

Harry

Ron had to read it over a few more times to make sure he had read it correctly.

He had.

Harry

I'm sure there's an explanation

I'll ask her when I see her on Sunday

Ron

Ginny and Hermione hadn't written for ages and then when Ginny does it's to break up with Harry. Something weird was going on.

So Ginny and Hermione haven't spoken to them? What's that all about?

Short chapter I know, but just kind of a build up as to what will happen soon...

Hope you liked it petals
