Completion: Complete
Something about the smooth bodhi seeds of his mala bracelet helped soothe Harry more than he thought was probably healthy, but as long as he was calm, he wasn't going to worry about it. Friday night, he'd helped Hermione move back home, and he was already feeling more whole again. Hermione was ready to forgive him for the last few months, especially because he really wanted to make things better. He only hoped Ron would be the same. They'd fought before over the years, and sometimes it took them a little longer to come to a proper understanding.
So what better way to say "Hi, I'm sorry for ignoring you, are we still best mates?" than with food? Harry had promised to do his share around the house, and he'd never been too shoddy at cooking. Hermione was already up and gone by the time he came into the kitchen and rummaged through their food stores. Bangers and mash it was going to be. He got to work, hoping the smell would entice Ron into the kitchen.
