"Why not hit her over the head with it?” Harry exclaimed jovially as he shuffled through the loose parchment on Ron’s desktop, keeping his hands busy and not really reading any of it.

“I’m not that obvious,” Ron quickly defended , swatting Harry’s hands away.

“I can name five ways you were completely transparent… just today,” claimed Harry, immediately raising his right forefinger.

“One,” he began. “You came into work at 5:30, saying you had a lot of work to catch up on, just so you could breakfast with Hermione.”

“I have got a lot of work to catch up on!” Ron insisted without meeting Harry’s eyes.


“Bollocks. Two,” Harry continued, adding his middle finger to the already extended pointer. “You’re wearing that awful tie she bought you last Christmas. Third time this week, in fact.”

“I happen to like this tie,” Ron defended with no real conviction.

“You told me it was hideous when you opened it,” reminded Harry with a reproving chuckle.

“Yes, well it’s grown on me,” attempted Ron, unable to hold back the small smirk.

“It looks as though it might grow on something.” Harry offered while adding his ring finger to other two and announcing, “Three, you’re looking over my shoulder right now in case she walks by. You got it bad, mate, when you can’t even follow a conversation!”

“You call this a conversation?” Ron replied sullenly, fighting the urge to look over Harry’s shoulder again. Harry’s pinkie finger joined the other three, and he grinned.

“Four, you’ve sent her at least one owl since you got to work.”

“How’d you… I mean… I haven’t!” Ron fumbled, “it was work related.”

“I’m sure it was,” Harry agreed with a smirk adding his thumb to the already raised fingers.

“Five, you…” Harry began, but before he could finish Ron had hit him with a well aimed jelly legs and he fell to the floor.

“Hermione!” Ron greeted with a forced grin.

“What’s all this?” she asked suspiciously.

“Harry’s being a git. Fancy lunch?” Ron answered quickly, and Harry held up all five fingers at him as Ron escorted Hermione from the room.
