Ron hadn't visited Harry and Hermione's as often as usual lately, but he still had his own spot on the couch, which was where he was currently lounging and staring intently at his feet. He wiggled his big toe. Yep, that was definitely a hole in his sock. These socks had lived a long life, but it seemed like they had finally given up the ghost.

His mother had given him plenty of leftovers to bring with him, so that was his version of cooking dinner for his friends tonight. Somehow, despite it being years since Molly had cooked for a full house other than at Christmas, she still sometimes made far too much food. Ron suspected that sometimes she did it on purpose.

"Oi, Harry," he called, finally looking up from his feet. "Want a game of chess?" He grinned. "Reckon I can beat you before Hermione gets home."

"I guess I understand that. I'd guess there's a lot to think about before actually taking that final step." He was just glad that Ron had shared it with him now, though Harry was shit at keeping secrets. He'd keep this one though, because it was important. "You weren't going to do it tonight, were you? Do you need me to clear out?"

Harry understood what Ron meant, and he was relieved that Ron had been talking to someone. Harry'd had a few sessions with the department shrink himself. So he got it. "Yeah, I know. It's okay, Ron. I'm not mad. I'm just...glad to know you're talking to someone." There had been a few cases over the years where the victims had reminded Harry of people he knew, and it was never easy. You had to learn to compartmentalize, and that wasn't as easy as it sounded.

"Nah, not tonight. I just thought if someone else knew then I might do it sooner rather than later, y'know?"

Buttons kneaded Ron's thigh, then settled down again, twisting onto his back so that Ron could stroke his belly. "Such an attention whore," Ron told the cat, though he still obeyed the implicit instruction.

"It's been suggested that I take some time off." Ron frowned, torn between taking up the suggestion and rejecting it as ludicrous. "But I dunno. Sounds stupid. I was gonna talk to Hermione about it tonight."

Harry nodded. "Well, don't wait another seven months, mate. I don't think I can keep a secret that long." But he would, and Ron knew he would, if it came to that.

Time off. It made sense, and Harry was certainly no stranger to being told to take a couple of days to get his head on straight. But he had a feeling that Ron wasn't talking about a couple of days, or even a week. The idea of being at work without Ron wasn't a happy one, but if it was what Ron wanted than Harry would support it.

"I don't think it sounds stupid if it's what you want. Be a good idea to talk to Hermione though."

"It won't be that long," Ron promised.

Once again, Ron made a non-committal noise. He wasn't sure if it was what he wanted, but at the same time, it wouldn't hurt. Ron just didn't know what he would do with himself if he didn't go into the office every day.

"Yeah, well, Hermione should be home in a minute. I'm going to start getting the food ready." Ron tilted his head to attempt to look Buttons in the eye. "If sir will allow me?" He tried to lift the cat, but instead he slipped from Ron's lap as though made of water. "I'll be in the kitchen."
