"Are you sure you didn't want to invite Harry over?" Hermione asked, not sounding the least bit like she meant the invitation. She was merely referring to the fact that Ron had been avoiding being in the same room alone with her for the past few weeks. It was beginning to grate on her nerves, particularly because she had her suspicions as to why he was doing it.
Folding her arms across her chest as she leaned back in her chair, she considered him across her small kitchen table. If he didn't want to talk, then fine. She just wished he would admit as much instead of employing a buffer zone any time they were in the vicinity of one another.
