Ron wandered aimlessly through the corridors. It was almost curfew, and most of the students had returned to their common rooms. He didn’t want to go back there, where the other Gryffindors would try to talk to him and, if he didn’t plaster a smile on his face, bother him about why he was upset.
He couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened over the past few days. He had managed to ask George to tutor him. Hermione had been eavesdropping and was probably mad at him about that, though it wasn’t showing anymore. Fred had kissed her. George had kissed him. He had kissed George. George had run away, saying something about a love potion.
He still had the little vial in the pocket of his robes, unsure of whether he should turn it in or not. Probably not. If he understood George correctly, it was the potion itself and not the antidote. It would be better to just skip the assignment.
