There were a great deal of questions running across Ron's mind at the moment. True, he and Justin had never been the best of friends, but he liked to think they had a decent friendship. Still, Ron was sure that all the questions he was considering were far too personal to ask him when they weren't as well a acquainted as Ron was with Harry at least. "I don't think this was the best way to go about things," Ron commented lightly. "I mean, there were bound to be... complications."
He hoped that Justin hadn't really just jinxed them all. He wanted to have at least one normal year at Hogwarts. Was that even possible? "I don't very much fancy being caught off guard. I like to be prepared. It's like an old friend once said, got to maintain'CONSTANT VIGILANCE!'." He smiled a sad sort of smile as he thought back on Mad Eye. The guy was crazier than a bag of cats, but he always had everyone's best interest in mind, mostly Harry's.
