She and Ron had gone into together on the little place, putting up the ninety quid up front; they intended to split the rent between them. The flat wasn't exactly the most furnished, but between two, unmarried people who were just starting out in their respective careers, it would have to do. It heartened Hermione, and also made her heart twinge, to see how Ron was taking their new home together, run-down as it was (though in the process of being fixed up), all in stride. It made Hermione realize just how much Ron and his family had gone without when he was growing up. How poor the Weasleys had really been.... and yet from how close and happy the brood was, it was a wonder how neither Ron nor any of his siblings had seemed to know it.
