    ... potion today, and Sirius was so much better at teaching than Snape. He actually explains things, and we went over the whole potion before we even started brewing. Harry said this book taught him a lot, and Hermione agreed, so I thought I'd give it a shot. It makes things seem so simple. It uses really easy to understand explanations, and tells me why I need to cut a certain way, or stir in a certain direction." Molly beamed, so proud of her son. "That's wonderful, Ron. I'm so pleased with the way you've grown over the last year. Your grades have improved so much, and you've become such a mature young man." Ron blushed. "We're all growing up," he replied, trying to explain what had caused his change in attitude. He couldn't really point to one particular moment, it seemed like it had happened gradually over the year. "With what happened to Harry last summer, I've realized that I've been pretty sheltered. I've got a great family, and even though Harry's my best mate, I didn't really realize just how bad his life was until last summer. But hearing about it, and seeing how much he changed just by having a guardian who cared about him, it made me want to do better as well. And it's kind of hard to spend half a summer at Professor McGonagall's house and not become more studious." Molly chuckled a little, and Ron sat up, setting the book aside as he looked into his mother's eyes. "Thank you." Molly startled. "For what?" she asked. Ron shrugged. "For being you.

"I know you're afraid, mum. And I know we're still pretty young, all things considered. But Harry's my best mate, and I know he'll be in the thick of things, so thank you for understanding that Ginny and I aren't going to let him fight this alone." Molly smiled through her tears. Ron made to stand up, but she held him in place as she grabbed him in a tight hug. Pulling back, she gave him a searching look. "Are you certain you're all right with Harry dating your sister?" Ron smiled and nodded. "It took a little getting used to, but I asked Ginny about their closeness last summer, and I knew from the start that it wouldn't just be a passing thing for them." Molly looked confused. Ron sighed. "Mum, I've seen them together, and I know they're young, but when I look at them, I don't see two teenagers having a fling. I see the way Harry looks at her, and I know that he'll treat her right. And I hope that someday, Hermione will look at me the way Ginny looks at Harry." Molly raised an eyebrow, but just nodded and stood up. "Dinner's on the table," she reminded him before leaving the room. Ron was about to make his way downstairs, when he once more found himself with company. ...
