Chapter 2

Ron is sulking during dinner and doesn't ask about the whereabouts of Ginny, Harry and Hermione. He's glad they aren't there. He starts to get up when he's done. Before he could go upstairs, his father says they need to talk. He rolls his eyes and says "I'm not talking I'm going to bed."

His father raises his voice, "No you are not. You are going to sit in that chair and listen to what your Mother and I are saying to you. You will be respectful. You will not get up or interrupt or ask a question until we are done or so help me Merlin I will hex you."

Ron wonders what has gotten up Dad's arse, it is usually his Mum and Hermione that do the nagging. Bloody hell, why is everything always his fault? He nods but doesn't really plan to pay his parents any mind.

Arthur continues in a bit softer but still stern voice. "Ronald your Mum and I are worried about you." He rolls his eyes again. "You are being disrespectful to everyone in this household and we will no longer tolerate it."

"I am not." Ron whines.

"ENOUGH!" Arthur shouts. Then his voice drops to almost a growl. "I am giving you a warning. Open your mouth again and I will close it for you."

Ron's a bit taken aback as he's never seen his father like this before.

"As I was saying, your mother and I have discussed this at length. You will not be disrespectful to anyone in this house again, that includes us, your siblings, Harry, and Hermione."

Ron glares at his father but doesn't speak. He thinks his girlfriend is at the root of all this. He opens HIS home and HIS family to her when she couldn't find her own parents and this is the repayment he gets. That BITCH!

It isn't enough that she embarrassed him at Auror training and hexed him so he had to quit. Now she's trying to turn his parents against him.

He is seething. When she gets here I'm really laying into her. This is her fucking fault anyway.

"Ronald will you agree to see a Healer?" His Mum's voice grabs his attention.

"What?" he asks. What the bloody hell are they going on about now?

"You'll see a Healer?" asks his Mum again.

"Why should I see a Healer? I'm not sick." He sneers.

Arthur replies, "Son, you will see a Healer about your anger-management problem and lack of respect for others or you will move out of this house. This is non-negotiable."

Ron flies into a rage, "THAT BITCH HAS TURNED YOU AGAINST ME! I AM YOUR SON! YOU ARE KICKING ME OUT BECAUSE OF HER!"

With a few flicks of Arthur's wand and a couple of silent spells Ron can longer speak or even open his mouth. He tries to push his chair out to stand up but can't do that either. He looks at his parents. His Mum has tears rolling down her face and he's surprised to see his Dad has a few as well. He thinks fuck it. They deserve to hurt if they are kicking him out.

"I hoped it wouldn't come to this. I spoke with George earlier today and he said it would be fine for you to move into the apartment above the joke shop." His Dad's voice sounds flat. He wipes his face and gets up and takes a duffel out of the cupboard and places it on the table in front of Ron. "This has everything you'll need for the night. We'll pack the rest of your things tomorrow and have them sent over. Son, we hope you will change your mind and get some help. We love you and this is breaking our hearts." His mother lets out a sob and Arthur puts his arm around her. Ron almost breaks down and says he'll do whatever they want just don't make him leave. But anger begins to boil again and he scoffs internally.

Arthur moves his wand counterclockwise and says "Libero. You are released and may leave now. When you arrive at the flat you will be able to speak again."

Ron stands, grabs his bag and stomps as loud as he can to the door and slams it shut, making the downstairs windows rattle. Even if he can't talk, he can do that. At least George is still his brother, hang the rest of them.

A/N: Libero is a verb in Latin that means "I set free."
