"We were trying to be good dormmates. Didn't want you to feel left out or anything." It would have been impossible for Dean to have been left out with Seamus always being around, but it was an amusing joke none-the-less. Ron shrugged a shoulder and simply said, "Maybe," though he wouldn't be going anywhere else after this.
Ron took a longer drink before he would reply to Dean's question. It was an easy question and it wasn't one that he really minded answering per se, but he still felt awkward for some reason. A little bit like himself but also still uncomfortable about being here to begin with. "Mum mostly. Ginny didn't care, though I thought she would. Haven't heard from Perce about it yet. No one else has said anything really. Most people are afraid of me right now. Think I've gone a bit funny and am going to end up in St. Mungo's pretty soon, I bet." He'd wondered that himself a few times—he actually wondered if it wouldn't be so bad of a place to go. He could spend his time with Lockhart, answer some fanmail like Harry had done in second year.
