There were days when Ron wondered what on earth he'd been thinking when he decided to go back to school; there were almost as many days when he wondered what on earth Wodbog had been thinking then they accepted him. Getting to see his friends was always a welcome distraction. Well, about half the time seeing Hermione was actually trying to get him to do schoolwork, so she wasn't as much of a distraction, but Harry was the best distraction and Ron was ready for his best mate to get there.
The day was over, though, and he was glad to be heading home.
He nearly jumped out of his skin when he opened his door and saw Harry, dropping his bag heavily, his eyes wide for a moment before he recovered, "Didn't expect you yet, mate," he said with a grin.
