Parents' Weekend Meet & Greet, The Park, Friday Afternoon

[godgavemecable]

The day had dawned crisp and clear, but by the time afternoon had rolled around... it was really still kind of ridiculously warm for fall. People could probably get away with not wearing a sweater, even

Pick up a nametag and maybe even get some pre-official-mingling-thread mingling going on. I won't judge.

Ron didn't much need a nametag for a certain witch to find him and fling herself into a hug with a "You're here!"

Someone was maybe a little excited.

"I am!" Ron exclaimed as he returned the hug. "This place hasn't changed much, has it?"

Re: Registration! [PW1]

[smartestone]

"Yes and no," she said slowly. "I'm so glad you came!"

Yes, we get that, Hermione.

Re: Registration! [PW1]

[isourking]

"Really?" Ron teased. "I hadn't noticed. What with you telling me and cracking a rib. I-"

Ron paused as he saw something off in the horizon.

"Is that a bloody volcano?"

Re: Registration! [PW1]

[smartestone]

"Right. Forgot to mention that," she said. "It popped up a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure it's dormant."

Re: Registration! [PW1]

Ron shook his head and chuckled softly. "Really? Forgot to mention that there's a volcano? I forgot how absolutely nuts this place was."

"Well, that was the same weekend that I, um, went over that cliff with one of the students," she pointed out. "It's not like I saw it appear." That made it better.

Re: Registration! [PW1]

[isourking]

Oh yes. Totally made it better. Not that Ron bought into that. He lived on this island too, you know.

However this was for a nice visit and one that doesn't happen often. Ron had promised Ginny that he'd be on his best behavior. Which is why he was biting his lip and not trying to start an argument.

"Over the... cliff. Really? Came back completely okay after that, right?" Ron asked trying not to show too much concern.

And failing.

Let's see how long that promise to Ginny lasts, shall we?

Re: Registration! [PW1]

[smartestone]

"Completely okay," Hermione said firmly, not wanting a fight. At least not right now. "It's just a normal bit of Fandom weirdness that works itself out. You know how it is."

Re: Registration! [PW1]

[isourking]

"Oh yeah, I remember," Ron said lightly. "Though the mental trauma sticks around for a while. Hopefully we can make it through the weekend without a gremlin bite."

Oh, Ron. Don't ask for trouble.

Re: Registration! [PW1]

[smartestone]

Hermione looked at him seriously. "If you just jinxed yourself..."

Re: Registration! [PW1]

[isourking]

"What? Aren't you on friendly terms with all those little green things?" Ron asked. "You had a whole petition and everything."

Re: Registration! [PW1]

[smartestone]

"Yes, but I'd also rather you didn't end up performing Rebecca Black in the park," she said, shuddering a little at the memory. "Maybe I'll leave something shiny out for them, just in case."

Re: Registration! [PW1]

[isourking]

"See? Nothing to worry about, " Ron said with a grin. "Just a nice visit."

He paused a bit to look at Herimone. "It is really good to see you. You'd think someone who could apparate anywhere he wants could visit more often but between helping out at the store and Auror training it's a bit difficult."

"I know what the hours are like," Hermione said with a little smile. "It won't last forever. And I've already visited more than I was able to in my last year at Hogwarts."
