Title:
Disclaimer: I don't own Ron or Hermione or Harry (or any of the others ), but I will admit that the creator is awesome!
Summary: Hermione is being threatened by an older student at Hogwarts who swears he will destroy her and her Mudblood family. Ron discovers her secret and swears to protect her. However, when their friend is brutally attacked, the situation becomes more real then obedience, classes, and perhaps even the Dark Lord.
Commenced: July 4th (Happy Independence Day, Americans (Even though I'm Canadian!))
Status: ABSOLUTELY NO SLASH! Ron and Hermione are the main characters with Harry and Ginny as sub-characters. There will be a bit of R/H romance however no exsay or akingmay-utomay. Sixth year at Hogwarts and new D-A-D-A teacher who is my own character. Also, spoilers for Order of the Phoenix which I have to admit was great but not as gripping as the Goblet of Fire.
Notes: I could only assume that the Hogwarts train left at eleven in the morning because my VCR was broken so I couldn't check the clock on the Chamber of Secrets. SORRY! Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Chapter 1
Black Owl
Ron gasped in surprised, quickly flipped onto his side, and landed with a groan on the pavement. His trolley toppled over and his chest clicked open and out tumbled robes and books. Fortunately his unmentionables were tucked in the bottom and saved him from a more brutal embarrassment.
'Oh, Ron!' sighed Mrs. Weasley as she reached down to pull up her son. 'Must you always make such a scene!' she glanced around nervously and motioned for Ginny to put away Ron's things before the surrounding muggles spotted them. Ron caught Harry and Hermione snickering out of the corner of his eyes and felt his cheeks grow hot.
Once the chest had been repacked and Ron brushed off, he tied his shoelaces. His ears had grown pink as he stood up.
'All right there, Ron?' asked Harry, attempting to stifle a smile. Ron merely placed a glare on him as he darted through the wall between platforms nine and ten. Hermione and Ginny disappeared after him. Ron went through last with one last grin of goodbye to his mother who waved slightly so as not to attract attention from the muggles.
They boarded the train to Hogwarts and sat near the back. Ron was careful to avoid the dreamy gaze of Luna Lovegood and threatening glare of Draco Malfoy as they passed. When they finally reached their seat Ron ran his fingers through his fire-red hair as he sat beside Hermione. Ginny sat next to Harry and thrust her bag under her seat. Ron pulled out his wand and muttered: 'Timeculus'. Everyone watched as four digits appeared in the air, showing the time of 10:52 AM. He grinned and laid back.
'Early for once.' he sighed with relief.
'Most likely because Fred and George weren't creating havoc all about.' muttered Ginny, peeking out the window.
'I'm surprised at how well they have done with their joke shop.' said Hermione. 'I didn't think the business of pranks would be so high!' Ron looked over at her. His eyes glittered with something that was unrecognizable in the shaded train station.
After eight minutes of excited conversation about their new year at Hogwarts, the steam engine gave a sudden lurch and slowly pulled out of the platform.
Not half-an-hour into the ride Ginny left to visit with her fifth-year classmates, leaving Ron, Hermione and Harry alone. Harry set Hedwig down on her seat just after she left. She cooed thankfully to be apart from his lap. Pigwigdeon was on the floor and sulking in jealousy.
Hermione reached into her bag and pulled out the latest copy of the Daily Prophet. Ron peeked over her shoulder at it, trying to see if there was anything interesting. When he did he noticed a cut that stretched from her wrist to her forearm. Ron glanced at Harry before addressing it.
'What happened there?' he asked. Hermione's eyes remained on the paper.
'Outbreak of Boggarts in the Ministry. They're having some real problems with it.' she replied.
'Not that!' he said harshly. 'You arm!' Hermione's eyes stopped immediately in her reading. They darted quickly at the cut and then at Ron.
'Nothing.' she murmured. Ron sighed and pulled the paper out of her hands then pulled up her sleeve to reveal the gash crusted in dark dried blood. Her mouth twitched slight but other then that she showed no pain.
'Hermione!' cried Harry as though scolding a child. 'What on Earth-'
'It's nothing!' she grunted as she pulled her arm away from Ron, who traded worried glances with Harry.
Most of the rest of the train ride went in silence save for one more incident. Ginny returned once to retrieve her bag then stated she was going to make the rest of the ride from a different compartment. Not minutes after she left did a large black shape fly through the door.
Hermione gave a quick shriek and leapt against Ron as a large black owl opened its talons. He flapped in her face until she buried it in Ron's sleeve. Ron swatted at it so that it fell against Hedwig's cage and fell on top of Pig's. Hermione peeked to stare at it.
It gave a quick, low hiss then fluttered out once more. Ron watched it leave, then glanced at Hermione. She immediately pushed herself away from him, blushing.
'What was that about?' he asked. 'It was just an owl.'
'Yes... it just startled me... that's all.' she said. Harry reached down and pulled up a letter. He read it carefully, and then flipped it over.
'It's for you, Hermione.' he said. Hermione seized it reluctantly. She leaned against the window and opened it with trembling hands and a pale blushed face. Through the thin parchment, Ron could see a messy line. He couldn't read it backwards before Hermione stuffed it away.
'Well..?' said Harry.
'Well what?' asked Hermione as though nothing had just happened.
'Who's it from?' asked Ron. Hermione shook her head.
'Not important.'
Somehow, the rest of the train ride managed to stay on the unenthusiastic topic of the latest Quidditch Cup.
