Chapter 2 - Ron's friends
Arthur Weasley smiled to his son. He didn't know any Ron's friends. Thus Ron wasn't someone who wrote a letter to his family. The twins were like him but at least they wrote letters to them. Ron was more secret. Arthur sighed, he wanted Ron to come to him and speak with him but Ron didn't. Molly sighed. "Ron's friends wait at Diagon Alley. Can you go to get them ? Ron, dear, prepare a place for your friends."
Arthur left quickly the house. He teleported himself to Diagon Alley. Ron took the stairs without reply to his brothers. The twins exchanged looks and went after him. They wanted to talk to their young brother or baby brother (as they called him) because lately he ignored them a lot. They wanted answers. Ron was picking some stuff in a storage room, he saw them but didn't say anything. Fred and George watched him moving some stuff. He was making some place for his friends, thought Fred as he lighted a candle.
"Ron. Stop that." Fred growled a few minutes later.
"Stop what dear brothers of mine ?" He asked bitter.
"You're ignoring us lately. Why ?" George said to his little brother.
"Oh you noticed ? Is it bothering you a lot that I have been doing that ?" He asked again bitterly.
The twins said nothing. Ron left the storage room, he grabbed blankets and pillows from his room (that he used when there was winter) and got back to the storage room. And his brothers followed him the entire time.
"Why ?" George asked gently.
Ron paused. Did he have to tell them ? He didn't really want them to know but Ron knew they understood his feelings better than the rest of the family.
"I.. I want to be myself. Not you, not any of our siblings. But mum wants me to be like you, like every of our siblings. I want to be myself." He started trying to make two beds. "I.. I assume to be different. But mum is so.. Well she doesn't take well my difference.. No Fred.. Listen to me ! I think that mum and dad don't know me well as for all of you. Actually, I like to read, well not anything, but I like to read to learn. There are so much things I love that no one in our family know. Mum doesn't understand that I can't be like you because you know, I'm me.. That's me.. And only my friends understand this. They see me as Ron.. You know.. " He was rambling but he knew his brothers were listening to him.
When he finished his rambling. The twins brothers, his twins brothers, took him in theirs arms. They hugged him. "Do not worry little bro. We're here. We're understand. We're glad you tell us." They both said.
Ron was glad.
Two days passed. The Golden Trio - they hated this name - was spending time outside far away from Molly's shouts. She was upset against the twins because they did a prank.
"So the twins understand you now." Harry resumed in one sentence what his best and first friend Ron said to them.
"That's great Ron !" Hermione cheered up.
"Yes. That's nice of them. How was your summer until now ?" Ron was hesitant.
"Well.. It's not bad.. Well just by my standards.. I'm glad you invited me in your house. " Harry muttered lost in the clouds.
Despite being twelve years old, Harry didn't consider himself as a child. He grew up too fast due to his so called family. He didn't try to hide that his hated them since years. His friends hugged him tightly. He didn't have to say anything else because they understood. Ron and Hermione saw scars on Harry's back when they were in their first years.
"How about you Hermione ?" Ron asked breaking the silence.
"My parents hated me. It begins to be worse. I'm glad you invited me for the rest of the summer. I couldn't... I couldn't continue like this.. " She whispered to them, she didn't want to someone else hear her saying those things.
They fell in silence. No one spoke for the next few hours. They looked at the sky, watched the birds flying in circle and playing with each other. They stared at the woods when they heard a strange sound. Then Ginny called them for dinner. They stood up and walked to the house. They entered quickly, Molly was still upset but she smiled at them. Arthur waited the end of the diner to speak up.
"The Ministry sent me an invitation. They look up for people who want to camp. Who wants to go ? Ginny ? Fred ? George ? Ron ? Percy ? Hermione ? Harry ?"
The trio exchanged regards. They nodded to each other then looked at Arthur's eyes. Arthur began to speak before someone could :
"You three ? Good. How about you Ginny ? No. The twins ? No too ? It will be fun.. For your brother Ron ! Yes then ? Good. And Percy ? Yes say nothing, I already know your answer. You need to breath sometimes ! Yes Molly ?"
"Arthur, honey, is it safe ?" Molly asked worried for Ron and.. Well Ron's friends.
She was mostly worried for Hermione and Harry because her family was hosting them. She didn't think that their families will be happy to not that someone hurt their child.
"The Ministry assured me it's safe. The entire area has been check out. Do not worry Molly." Arthur assured her.
"Okay then."
The twins decided to go along with the trio because they wanted to know the real Ron. Not the false one that her mother wanted him to be. They understood that Ron was different and not like them. Each one had its values and skills. The twins wanted to know a little bit more Hermione - the "smart ass" - and Harry - the boy who survived - because they hadn't so much time back into their third year (for the twins). They went upstairs after Arthur gave them details. The twins watched the trio entering Ron's room before going to their own room. They couldn't wait for tomorrow.
