A BARWOMAN'S HOPES
                          
19th DECEMBER 2017
                          
Ron Weasley's fingers drummed against his desk in the Auror department as he stared at the empty desk opposite him. It was supposed to be sat behind by his best friend, or perhaps ex-best friend now, Harry Potter. But Harry hadn't entered the office since the incident on the ninth of December, exactly ten days ago. Ron didn't understand what he had exactly done wrong, I mean, he knew what he had done wrong; he just didn't think he deserved this kind of feedback. Before Hermione had returned, his life had been running extremely smoothly, Ginny and Harry were even just starting to become friends with Astoria. And then Hermione and Malfoy had to turn up and ruin everything.
                          
And now he was being forced to go to a pre-Christmas dinner with them and the rest of the Weasley family tomorrow.
                          
His face perked up when the door to his office opened, it fell again when he realised it was only Dean Thomas, a fellow Auror.
                          
"Still moping around in here Ron?" he asked as he walked over to Harry's desk. Reaching into one of the drawers and pulling out a stack of papers. Ron glared at Dean before standing up;
                          
"Hey, what do you think you're doing looking through Harry's drawers?"
                          
Dean looked confused "Didn't Kingsley tell you? Harry insisted that we swap offices so he's sharing with Zacharias now and I'm sharing with you. He wanted me to get his stuff for him and move in as soon as possible"
                          
Ron was beside himself in annoyance at Harry "What? But he hates Zacharias?"
                          
"I'm just telling you what he told me to say; he is the Head of the Auror department"
                          
"Yeah, and I'm his deputy" Ron bellowed, sounding completely distraught that Harry had actually chosen to share an office with Zacharias Smith over his best friend. Dean sat down at the desk opposite Ron and twiddled his thumbs, biting his lip nervously. 
                          
 "Yeah about that, Harry said that if you can't be honest in your personal life; he has no way of knowing if you can be honest in your job. Your officially just an Auror now mate"
                          
If Ron was angry before, he was completely livid now.
                          
"And I bet that Zacharias Smith is his new deputy" Ron asked, trying to be calm but his voice was cracking considerably. Dean just nodded before standing up and picking up the stack of paper he had to give Harry. He said goodbye to Ron before leaving the room, closing the office door behind him.
                          
Ron was going to destroy the Malfoy family now.
                          
They seemed to think that they could waltz in with their stacks of money, offer Ginny a job, become all matey with the Potter's, tell everyone about Ron's secret, and then turn all Ron's friends and family against him.
                          
He was awoken from his thoughts by the door opening. He didn't look up until the person gave a patronizing 'humph'. He then lifted his head to see the jet black hair of his old friend Harry Potter.
                          
"What do you want?" Ron spat, glaring at Harry with all he had. Harry glared back, his eyes narrowing into slits. 
                          
 "You might want to think about how you speak to me Ronald, after all, I am your boss"
                          
Ron scoffed and rolled his eyes "Being around Malfoy has certainly boosted your ego up to the moon, be careful not to break anything when you fall off your high horse" Ron snorted
