It had only been a week since the season ended, but Ron was already fidgety. Neville was working longer hours than normal and Ron found himself alone in the flat more times than not. But today he had plans to meet Luna for lunch at the Leaky, which improved his mood greatly.
The patrons at the Leaky were sparse when Ron arrived, making it obvious Luna wasn't there. He greeted Tom at the bar, grabbed a pint, and as he was walking to an empty table, spotted the winners of the auctions had been posted.
His name was second on the list and he had won Sirius Black! "What the fuck?" he muttered. Sirius was a great bloke, but he hadn't bid on him. In fact, he had only bid on Neville. A large sum actually.
He scanned down the list to see who won him. Kevin Entwhistle? "Who the fuck is that?" he said this time loud enough to warrant a glare from a woman sitting nearby with a young child on her lap.
Blushing at being so crass, Ron turned away and looked for Neville's name. He wasn't happy about any of this, but felt a little better that Neville's hadn't won or been won by Adrian.
He decided that something must've gone wrong with the bidding and couldn't wait to tell Neville about it.
