Harry, Ron and Hermione walked the busy corridors of Hogwarts and Harry couldn't help but reflect on how different things were now compared to when he first started this wonderful school. Hell come to think of it, things are different now compared to a month ago. This time last month it had really just been him and Hermione with the ghost of Ron trailing behind them both. The change Harry had seen in his now best mate had been great. The ginger boy had quickly come out of his shell and Harry had quickly grown to love his friendship with the boy. While Hermione was great, she could often be a little too much and would often spend hours of the day reading and rereading the text books or old homework assignments and notes. This could leave Harry feeling very bored throughout the day as attempting to disturb her from this would never go well. He had tried it once and would never do so again. However with Ron it was different, he was a very laid back friend who would gladly take any excuse to distract himself from his work and honestly if it wasn't for Hermione's constant reminders about deadlines and his private tutoring with Greengrass Harry thought Ron would complete every assignment an hour before the class. That wasn't to say Ron didn't try, since the meeting with Snape Ron seemed more driven than any of them to achieve well but that didn't seem to cross over into his ability to plan ahead of time when it came to assignments.
