Harry was slowly starting to go stark raving mad. He wasn't used to silence. Even at the Dursley's there had been some form of interaction....even if it contained physical or verbal abuse. At least there was another person around. He was starting to spend greater amounts of time at Work simply to avoid spending more time in the strangely quiet house. He swore some nights not even the animals made a noise. He hated it. Thankfully, the two weeks mark was coming up and he couldn't wait to not be the only living person in the house. There was still the dog and the owl, but neither one of them really made all that much noise or spoke, which left him quite on his own.

During this quietness, he'd come to the realization that Ron, Hermione, and himself had not been in the same room together in ages, which really needed to be fixed. The problem with that though, was they each had their own lives. Different careers, different schedules, different lives. Hell, they were all either married or in the process of getting married and Harry knew exactly how far ones mind could stray during times like that. Thankfully, there was one place he knew he could catch the both of them with a little work.

As noon approached, Harry started his search, first hunting down Ron. Being in the same department made it a lot easier to find him. Harry personally wished they worked on more cases together, but he was glad to at least be in the same vacinity most of the time. Finally spotting him on the busy floor, Harry headed in that direction. Afterward, the two of them could go and pry Hermione away from her work.

"Ron!"

Ron was pouring over his papers, trying to stay focused so he could get his work completed. He had to check for errors, and sometimes, he had to go over things more than once. His mind would wander and he would miss the most obvious of mistakes. He sighed and rubbed his head for a moment, leaning back to think about life.

Hermione was always the one who could see the mistakes, with a kind of radar. He sometimes imagined he was she, so that he could get in the correct mind set. He could hear her voice echo in his head, as she had been when they are in school, and it helped him catch more mistakes.

He hated this part of job, the paperwork, and he decided he'd done as much as he could. He let his mind turn to his friends. It had seemed like weeks ago when he had last seen Hermione; but he had decided to try not to see her until he had spent more time with Ana. He struggled with himself, but the date with Ana was rapidly approaching, and he felt like he hadn't given it enough of an effort to get to know her better. He also wondered about Harry.

Harry seemed more than satisfied with his match, Ron thought with heartening encouragement. So there was hope; at the very least, Ron thought that he could be better friends with Ana. He certainly wasn't going to make her act the wife, if she wasn't into it, but it would be nice to have a union that WAS a union. Harry seemed to have pulled it off, rather well.

He didn't know if it was because he was thinking of his friend, but he could swear he heard Harry's voice for a moment. He swung his head in the direction of the voice, and there Harry materialized, as if on cue.

"Hey! Nice to see you, stranger!" Ron stood up and went to grab his robes, "Are you here to rescue me from my doom? I so need a break. My mind is spinning, and I'm turning out utter crap."

Harry couldn't help the grin that tugged at the corner of his lips. It had been such a long time since he'd had a moment to spend with his friends. It was no one's fault but his own, and it was certainly a fault he hoped would not be repeated a second time. While his knew relationship with Daphne demanded and controlled his heart, his loyalty would always belong to his friends.

"Crap? I would assume then, that it's a right side better then what you normally put out?" he responded, with what one would assume as a cheeky grin. In a sense the two of them tended to be far less serious when they were together. Their actions on occasion resembling that of school children, but he merely assumed they were simply making up for lost time and experiences. It wasn't just himself that had far more dangerous things then horsing around on his mind during his years at school. There were always two profiles standing with him, sharing in the experience. Ron and Hermione deserved a chance to relax just as much, if not more, then he did. After all, if not them, who else would have put up with his stubborn ways? He was likely to guess that there would be no such person ever found.

"Stranger. Everyone is a stranger, lately. I feel like I have been absent from everything the last little while." his response being followed by a slight frown and a small shrug. "I suppose attempting to occupy an empty house while Daphne's away has rattled me a bit." Here he paused, offering an amused chuckle. "Merlin forbid, I enjoy a little peace and quiet. One would think I'm not happy unless I'm shoulder deep in some sort of trouble."

It was a true enough statement, if he took the time to think about it. The only time he wasn't worried was when he was too busy to be worried. Not exactly a productive way of going about things, but it worked most of the time. "Which, I suppose is why I've sought you out. Care to find some trouble?"
