Hello! Two in one day. Mostly because I have most of this already written out, and because I wanted to say that I have this whole story planned. I still have about six-ish chapters to write but they are all short about a thousand or so words long, like this one. So enjoy.

Also Me No Own!

Mrs. Weasley was in tears as we attended the funerals for the people who were killed in the 'Battle of Hogwarts' as the papers are calling it.

The one thing that made the Weasley's both proud and sad beyond belief is that Ron Weasley was killed saving Fred Weasley's life. Hermione had cast a curse at the killer but in her haste to save Fred she didn't notice her best had already tried to help. Unfortunately the spells sent by Hermione and the Death Eater had hit each other and kind of ricocheted and shot towards the third spell which Ron sent. All three spells hit Ron in the chest sending him backwards into a wall.

When the war was over the Weasley's and honorary Weasley's gathered around where Ron went down, all in tears. Fred held Hermione, I held Ginny and Mr. Weasley held Mrs. Weasley. Ron's body was gone and in its place was Ron's burnt and worn clothes. After they had gotten home they saw that Ron's hand had fallen off the family clock.

Hermione and I sat at the back of the room. We were going to give our speech's last. The Weasley's were all sitting at the front, Mrs. Weasley and Ginny were crying and all the men had red eyes and were sitting as straight as they could, it kind of reminded me of Aunt Petunia.

Hermione walked up to the podium. "Hello" she said. "I want to tell you all about the great people who gave their live to save us all." she was in tears as she looked out at the family of all the deceased. "I was asked 'who would I miss the most?'" Hermione stopped here and gave a sad look tears never stopping. "I want to say that I will miss everyone who I knew and even those I didn't." this time I moved to hug her before she broke. "I lost my best friend." she said "We all lost someone that day. Even both Harry and I. We have lost friends and family." she stopped and looked at the Weasley's "We lost brothers and sisters. Mothers and fathers. Even lovers were lost and we will never get them back." Hermione said before bursting into tears.
I saw that she couldn't continue so I took over for her.

"When I turned eleven I found out I was part of a world I didn't know existed. I was dropped off at a train station by my uncle who had hoped I never returned." at this there were gasps from people who didn't know. "I was lost. I looked but I couldn't find the right platform, until, that is, a large family of red heads helped me. They showed me how to get to the platform, and in extension how to get to school." at this Mrs. Weasley smiled, though it was watery smile.

"When I got on the train I felt alone. I found an empty compartment and sat for what I thought was going to be a boring ride. After awhile a boy came in and asked if he could sit with me." Mrs. Weasley started to cry harder. "He and I became fast friends. About an hour away from school a young girl walked into the compartment asking about a toad. We both introduced ourselves. That was the first time we were all together." people gave small smiles and choked sobs.

"After that meeting, we didn't really like each other. Even though we all got into the same house, Hermione wasn't our friend until October of that year." Hermione hugged me tighter, my shirt was soaked through with her tears.

"We did everything together, until the fourth year, where the stress and hormones got the better of us and tested our friendship. We were growing apart. Of course with friendships as... unique as ours, nothing... almost nothing could tear us apart." I stopped. Something did finally tear us apart.

"We did things no fourth year should do. Like getting kidnapped for a crazy competition and being rescued by me, who, at the time, was half fish." chuckles arose from the crowd.

"We stayed tight. He and Hermione even ran away with me. Things once again got stressed. We were half starved and being hunted not to mention we had a negative energy producer that hung around your neck. Even though we had regular turns he had taken to wearing the locket as long as possible. He said it was because he had more experience with magical objects, but we knew he was doing what he lived to do. He was protecting his friends from as much negative magic as he could without us noticing." some more gasps came.

"We got into a fight and he left. I know now, since I have had a lot of time to think about it, that if he had stayed any longer then he would have seriously hurt one of us. That look in his eyes as he gripped his wand, it was half crazed, he was about to snap. He left before he could do anymore damage then what he had already did." I looked down, I couldn't look at Mrs. Weasley. "I told him to leave, we both did. He looked so hurt. but he looked at us with a sudden realization. And then he left, not to be seen by us for a while." I couldn't help the tears that came. they just poured down my cheeks.

"He came back to save me from drowning. He pulled me out of a lake. We came back to find a hysterical Hermione. We finished the first part of our mission. We went to Hogwarts to complete the mission. He helped me destroy Voldy." some people flinched and some chuckled at the shortened version of his name.

"He saved his brother at the expense of his life. Who is he? Some of you might ask. He was Ronald Billius Weasley, sixth son of Arthur and Molly Weasley, and a casualty of this war. He willingly gave his life to protect our freedom and our lives." People lowered their heads in respect.

"He is who I will miss the most. My best friend. My brother." I said as I hugged Hermione back with just as much enthusiasm.

"Thank you for listening. Please remember, your loved ones gave their lives to protect yours and to give you the chance to move on. Don't waste their sacrifice." I said before we headed to the Weasley's. I will never forget my Brother in all but blood. We will continue living. For him.
