Author's note- Ok, in this story, Ron's dead…I'm sorry Ronnie! I love you! ::sniffle:: And Harry has to deal with a promise he made to him a while ago. Grieving, mourning, angst and all that stuff. I know this chapter is really short, but it's just to get things started off.
Harry stared into the coffin. It was empty, but they all knew why it was there. Ron's body was supposed to be in there, but it wasn't. Harry still didn't know how of all it had happened. He thought back…Ron and him were just walking along Diagon Alley one night, going to Hermione's flat, when a group of Death Eaters just appeared out of nowhere. They put the Cructio curse on both Harry and Ron. Harry winced at just the thought of the pain. They then brought the two somewhere, Harry couldn't even remember where, and there they were for two whole days, undergoing more pain than either of them had ever known. That was it; the next thing that Harry remembered was waking up finding himself lying in a St. Mungo's hospital bed, without Ron. It turned out that Sirius was walking in Diagon Alley at the same time of their capture and had seen what happened. Sirius had no idea where the Death Eaters had taken him and Ron, but he notified Dumbledore and they managed to figure out where. Sirius had arrived with a group of skilled wizards and found Harry lying unconscious on the floor but Ron nowhere to be found. They had searched for the next week, but couldn't find him. He was pronounced dead, even though his body wasn't found. And at Ron's funeral was where Harry was now. Along with Hermione, and the rest of Ron's mourning family.
Harry stared into the empty coffin. It was worse than Ron actually being in there. He never thought that he would be attending his best friend's funeral, with no body in the coffin. It was worse than anything. He cast a glance over to where Hermione was sitting.

"Why?" Hermione thought. Why did Ron have to die? Why did he die when he had so much to live for? They were so in love. She was so happy with him. He was more than she had ever wished for and now he was gone forever. "It's not fair, she thought, it's not fair!" A tear ran down her cheek. Ron was gone and she would never be happy again.
