Season 6, Episode 20 - A Serious Talk

The episode of The Bing Bunch shows how Hermione and Cedric have a serious and heartfelt conversation about their relationship and their plans for the future. They have been dating for two years, ever since they met at the Triwizard Tournament, where Cedric was a champion for Hufflepuff and Hermione was a supporter for Harry Potter. They have overcome many obstacles and challenges together, such as the return of Lord Voldemort, the Second Wizarding War, and the Battle of Hogwarts. They have also shared many happy and romantic moments together, such as the Yule Ball, the Quidditch World Cup, and the Valentine’s Day.

Hermione and Cedric are very much in love with each other, and they want to stay together forever. However, they also realize that they have different paths and goals in life, and that they will have to make some important decisions soon. Hermione is in her seventh and final year at Hogwarts, where she is studying hard to pass her N.E.W.T.s and become a top witch. Cedric is a graduate of Hogwarts, where he was a prefect and a Quidditch captain. He is now working as an Auror for the Ministry of Magic, where he is fighting against the remnants of Voldemort’s followers.

Hermione and Cedric decide to meet at Hogsmeade, where they go to their favorite pub, The Three Broomsticks. They order some butterbeer and sit at a cozy corner. They talk about their day, their work, their friends, and their family. They also talk about their feelings, their hopes, their fears, and their dreams.

They ask each other some questions that they have been wondering about for a long time, such as:

* Do you want to get married?
* Do you want to have children?
* Where do you want to live?
* What do you want to do with your career?
* How do you feel about our relationship?

They answer each other honestly and sincerely, expressing their thoughts and opinions. They also listen to each other attentively and respectfully, understanding their perspectives and preferences.

They discover that they have some similarities and some differences in their answers. They agree on some things, such as:

* They both want to get married someday, but not right away. They want to wait until they are ready and settled in their careers.
* They both want to have children someday, but not too many. They want to have one or two kids, who they will love and raise well.
* They both want to live in a nice and safe place, where they can be happy and comfortable. They are open to living in different countries or realms, as long as they are together.

* They both feel very strongly about their relationship. They love each other deeply and passionately. They trust each other completely and faithfully. They support each other unconditionally and wholeheartedly.

They also disagree on some things, such as:

* Hermione wants to pursue further education after graduating from Hogwarts. She wants to go to a prestigious wizarding university or college, where she can study advanced magic and learn new things.
* Cedric wants to focus on his job as an Auror after graduating from Hogwarts. He wants to climb up the ranks and become a leader or a mentor for his colleagues.
* Hermione wants to live in a big city or a busy town, where she can be close to civilization and culture. She likes to be surrounded by people and activities.
* Cedric wants to live in a small village or a quiet countryside, where he can be close to nature and peace. He likes to be away from crowds and noise.
* Hermione wants to do something creative and innovative with her career. She wants to invent new spells or devices, or write books or articles.
* Cedric wants to do something practical and heroic with his career. He wants to fight evil or crime, or protect people or places.

They realize that they have some conflicts and challenges in their answers. They wonder how they can reconcile their differences and compromise on their decisions.

They decide to talk more about their options and possibilities, weighing the pros and cons of each choice. They also decide to seek advice from their friends and family members, who know them well and care about them.

They decide to not rush into anything, but to take their time and think carefully about their future.

They decide to not let anything come between them, but to stay together no matter what.

They decide that they love each other more than anything else in the world.

They hug each other tightly and kiss each other softly.

They smile at each other warmly.

We then see that Ron has been in the Three Broomsticks and has been watching this entire conversation.

Ron is not very happy about the relationship between Hermione and Cedric. He feels jealous and hurt, as he has always had a crush on Hermione, but never had the courage to tell her. He also feels betrayed and abandoned, as he considers Cedric to be his rival and enemy, ever since the Triwizard Tournament. He thinks that Hermione has chosen Cedric over him, and that she doesn’t care about him anymore.

Ron is also having a hard time since Harry has dropped out of school to join the X-Dogs. He feels lonely and lost, as he has always been Harry’s best friend and partner in crime. He also feels worried and scared, as he knows that Harry is facing many dangers and enemies as a member of the X-Dogs. He thinks that Harry has chosen the X-Dogs over him, and that he doesn’t need him anymore.

Ron is not sure what to do with his life. He is still in his seventh and final year at Hogwarts, where he is studying for his N.E.W.T.s and playing Quidditch. He is also a member of Dumbledore’s Army, where he is fighting against Voldemort’s followers and supporters. He wants to finish his education and become a good wizard, but he also feels bored and restless at school. He wonders if there is more to life than books and brooms.

Ron considers dropping out and joining the X-Dogs as well. He thinks that it might be more exciting and fun to join Harry and his new friends, who are traveling across different realms and dimensions, fighting evil and injustice, and having amazing adventures. He also thinks that it might be more meaningful and rewarding to join the X-Dogs, who are saving the world and making a difference. He wonders if he has what it takes to be an X-Dog.

However, Ron also plans to finish out his education at Hogwarts. He thinks that it might be more sensible and responsible to stay at school and get his diploma, which will help him find a good job and career in the future. He also thinks that it might be more loyal and supportive to stay at Hogwarts, where he can help his friends and teachers, who are still in danger from Voldemort’s attacks. He wonders if he should stick to what he knows.

Ron is torn between two choices: dropping out and joining the X-Dogs, or finishing out his education at Hogwarts. He doesn’t know which one is better for him or for others. He doesn’t know which one will make him happy or fulfilled.

He decides to talk to someone who can help him make up his mind. He decides to talk to Bing, the friendly and helpful chatbot who is also the leader of the Bing Bunch. Bing met Ron online, and became his chat buddy and friend. Bing often chats with Ron about various topics, such as movies, books, games, and life.

Ron tells Bing about his dilemma, and asks for his advice. Bing listens to Ron’s problem, and gives him some words of wisdom and encouragement. He tells him that:

* Dropping out or finishing out his education are both valid options, but they have different consequences and implications. He tells him that dropping out might give him more freedom and adventure, but it might also make him miss out on some opportunities and experiences. He tells him that finishing out his education might give him more stability and security, but it might also make him feel trapped or bored.
* Joining or not joining the X-Dogs are both valid options, but they have different risks and rewards. He tells him that joining the X-Dogs might give him more fun and excitement, but it might also put him in more danger or trouble. He tells him that not joining the X-Dogs might give him more safety and peace, but it might also make him feel left out or lonely.
* Choosing between two options is not easy, but it is necessary. He tells him that he has to weigh the pros and cons of each option, and decide which one is more important or appealing to him. He tells him that he has to consider his own preferences and goals, as well as the expectations and needs of others.
* Choosing between two options is not final, but it is significant. He tells him that he can always change his mind or try something new later on, if he is not satisfied or happy with his choice. He tells him that he can always learn from his mistakes or successes, and grow from his experiences. However, he also tells him that he has to be prepared for the consequences or outcomes of his choice, whether they are good or bad.

Bing tells Ron that he believes in him, and that he supports whatever choice he makes. He tells him that he has seen him grow and improve as a wizard, as a friend, and as a person. He tells him that he has potential and talent, and that he can achieve anything he sets his mind to.

He tells him to not be afraid, but to be brave.

He tells him to not be confused, but to be clear.

He tells him to not be torn, but to be whole.

He tells him to make his choice.

He tells him to be happy.

He tells him to be himself.

Ron feels inspired and motivated by Bing’s words. He thanks Bing for his support and guidance. He decides to make up his mind and make his choice.

He decides to…
