A Loss so Early in Life…

A/N This is my first fic. I got the idea because Ron is my favorite character and I wanted to write a story about him and I thought how Harry always got all the attention. Please review!

Ron sat in the common room, gazing blankly into the fire. Why? He thought. Why did it have to happen to me?

He had gotten the letter just that morning. There was only one table since it was the winter holidays. He trudged into the Great Hall alone that day. He was mad at Harry for two reasons. One was he was going out with the girl he, Ron, liked, Hermione. The second was that he wasn't here for Ron to yell at, as he was spending the winter holidays with Hermione. I can't be mad at Harry. It's not his fault.

While helping himself to some eggs, the usual sound of swooping wings rushed towards his ears; the owls had arrived. Not expecting a letter, Ron continued heaping eggs on to his plate. To his surprise, a large tawny owl landed on his plate, a letter attached to its leg. Ron pulled it off, and the owl flew off to the owlry. He unrolled the parchment and tears welled up in his blue eyes as he read the glistening ink that formed into his sorrow. He ran out of the Great Hall, leaving the letter on the table.

"What was that about?" Dumbledore asked. He picked up the letter, and when he read it, he understood.

Mr. Ronald Weasley,
I regret to inform you that a tragic occurrence has happened that concerns you. Last Tuesday the 26th of December, Mr. Arthur Weasley, Mrs. Molly Weasley, and Mr. George Weasley were murdered by Lord Voldemort at Mr. Percy Weasley's cauldron convention. I'm sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Martha Cobblestone
Secretary to the Minister of Magic

"Oh dear…"

A/N I know it's really short. But the next chapters will be longer. Please review with praise or constructive criticism.
