Chapter 2: Fun, Fun, and Death Eaters!
Ron's POV
The next morning, I was up at 6:00 a.m. …surprising to me. I think I've gone and turned into Percy. Oh, no! Oh well, plus I must of been excited, because today I was going out with my older brother Percy. I couldn't wait! Full of energy, I got out of bed and got dressed. Boy, Harry would freak if he saw me like this!
I went downstairs of the Burrow, not being able to contain myself for sheer excitement. Everyone else would be up soon anyway, so I went to into the living room and to my surprise, I saw Bill who looked up at me in equal surprise. I think we startled each other.
"Your up early." He said.
"Yeah, I know." I agreed. "Harry would freak if he knew I was up this early."
Bill gave a soft chuckle and smiled. "So when is Harry suppose to come, any way?"
"Oh, on his birthday. I was hoping to buy his present today."
"Well good, I can't wait to see him."
"Yeah, me either."
Bill then looked at me a while before suddenly saying, "I'm very proud of you."
"For what?" I asked.
"For telling Percy you forgive him." Bill answered.
"Oh…right. I forgot. It felt really good. Last night, he tucked me into bed and it made me feel safe. I was very happy to know that he was back. He's grown a lot, Bill." I said happily.
"I know." Bill nodded knowingly.
"What do you mean?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me.
"Dumbledore allowed him to see one of us. Only one. So Percy would come to me for advice and to check on you and Ginny. I never told him about Fleur until last night I didn't see him much so not to raise suspicion." Bill said.
"So, he was around the whole time?" I asked my oldest brother.
"Yes, but he snuck off every time the others were around. I think he's better than the twins now." Bill said with a amused smile.
I started to laugh and soon we were both laughing. "The twins don't like competition you know." I said to Bill as we continued to laugh.
Soon Percy, Mum, and Dad came into the living room. Percy saw us and raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing up so early, Ron?" Percy asked me.
"I think I'm a little too excited." I said to him.
"I can see that." Percy teased, knowing full well what today was.
Bill looked at us confused. "For what Ron?" He asked, curious.
"Oh, Percy and I are going to Diagon Ally. Since everyone was going to be busy getting stuff for the wedding, and the rest of the guys are going to be working. I was going to be here alone so I asked him if he wanted to go out with me. He said 'Yes.' so we are going to Diagon Ally after everyone leaves." I said happily.
Bill looked very happy that Percy and I were going to go out with each other. "That's good. Just be careful, okay?" He warned.
"We will." Percy and I said at the same time. We looked at each other and gave out a chuckle.
"Well since you're up so early Ron, why don't you help me with breakfast." Mum asked me.
"Do I have to?" I whined, upset that I had to help.
Percy came up to me and whispered. "Every single person who is up early has to. It's a sacred rule."
"Now Ronald!" My Mum yelled. I knew she meant business. So I went, reluctantly though, and leaving behind my two older brothers and Dad.
Normal POV
As Ron made his way to the kitchen with Mrs. Weasley, Bill turned to Percy.
"Now Percy, you know with everything going on anything could happen." Bill said with a firm voice.
"Yes, I know and I will keep a very close eye on Ron. I promise." Percy assured his brother.
"Good, see that you do." Their father told them.
Bill looked at Percy. "If you need any help, just call."
"Yes, Bill. If I need help I'll call for it." Percy said to his oldest brother.
Soon Fred and George come down for breakfast. The twins tense when they saw Percy, they still didn't believe that he had changed. Bill looked at Percy. His face looked hurt. Bill looked at the twins. He wasn't happy. Percy turned around and left to go upstairs to his room. Their dad also left but went into the kitchen to help their mom.
"You two sit!" Bill said in a dangerous tone.
Fred and George knew he wasn't playing so they sat down on the couch. Bill was angry and he was about ready to yell when he saw Ron come into the living room. Ron looked at them, with sad eyes.
"Mum says it's time for breakfast." Ron said to Bill and the twins.
"Okay, give us a second." Bill thought a moment, then added, "Ron, tell Percy to come down too."
"Okay." Ron said.
Bill turned back to the twins, he was so angry. It was very uncharacteristic of him. Bill finally decided to breath.
"If either of you pull a prank, tell a lie or hurt Percy in any way again I will personally punish you. Not only will Mum and Dad punish you, but I will as well."
Bill was exhausted by the time he had finished talking to the twins and he looked like he was going to collapse any minute. But Bill managed to keep his composure. He went to the table to eat breakfast.
Meanwhile, Ron had made it up the stairs and to Percy's room and knocked on the door. "Come in." said Percy.
"Hey, Perce it's time for breakfast." Ron said to him.
"Okay, I'll be down in a minute." Percy said with a sniffle.
"Percy, what Fred and George said wasn't true they didn't mean it." Ron said.
"Of course it was true, Ron. You know it." Percy said unhappily.
"Percy, you may have been a inconsiderate jerk, prat and git the last two years, but that's over now. They have to learn to be kinder." Ron said with a sad look in his eyes.
"What about what I did to you. Aren't you still mad." Percy asked looking up to Ron.
"Yes, I am, but just like you, I had my own way of thinking. I too grew up. Growing up also means you have to forgive and forget sometimes. Yeah, I will remember every now and again and be mad at you. But anything I say will be out of anger, it's not true. So you ready for breakfast?" Ron asked anxiously.
"Yes, let's go." Percy smiled at last.
"Let's go then. Don't worry about the twins Bill already took care of them." Ron said as they went down in their own respective places. Bill and Charlie were both sitting there as well.
Once breakfast was over, they all got up and went to the sink. Bill gave their Mum his plates as he kissed her goodbye, then apparated back to Egypt. Charlie came in next and also gave his mum a kiss goodbye and apparated back to Romania. Fred and George appeared next. They gave their Mum their plates and kissed her good bye. They however chose to walk to the joke shop. They needed to do some thinking; with everything that has come to pass, they were in need of time to think. Everything was just crazy, they thought. Percy had just come back to the family and was asking for forgiveness. The twins gave it to him, but they didn't fully mean it. They were still angry about what he said.
"Can we really stay mad at him for this long." Fred asked his twin.
"No, we can't stay mad at him for this long, but it's going to take a lot from us and Percy to fully forgive him." George said with comprehension.
"But what if he does it again, George? What if he..." Fred was cut off once again.
"Have a little faith in him. He said he was sorry and he meant it. So lets get to the shop. Okay?" George half-snapped but yet he knew his twin would be happy with the answer he had given him.
"Okay." Fred shrugged and they decided to apparate to their joke shop.
Meanwhile, in the burrow Arthur had given Molly a kiss goodbye and said bye to Ginny, Ron, and Percy. Everything at the Burrow was going well. Soon after their father left, their mother left with Ginny to meet up with Fleur and her Mum to discuss wedding plans with them in Hogsmeade. Soon it was just Percy and Ron.
It was 8:45 a.m. when Ron looked up at from his seat. He was so excited that he wanted to leave early.
"Hey, Percy can we go now?" Ron asked his older brother.
"Not yet, Ron." Percy said, seeing a look of disappointment in Ron's eyes.
"Look, I need to get ready first and then we can leave. Is that okay with you?" Percy asked.
"Yes, Percy." Ron muttered, sighing.
"Okay, I will be back in a few minutes." Percy said.
Ron sighed again. He was going to have to wait a little longer. But he wasn't just waiting; he was waiting for his big brother Percy to come back!
Meanwhile, something was afoot. In a dark, dark cabin in the woods was a hideout. A hideout that only few knew about. There at the door was a young Draco Malfoy waiting to enter. He muttered a password so silent that only the door could hear. The door opened to reveal a room full of Death Eaters. Draco entered and saw in front of him none other then the dark lord himself. Voldemort looked up to speak.
"Why, Draco how are you?" Voldemort asked.
"Fine, my lord." Draco said a little hesitant.
"Draco, what is it that you desire most?" Voldemort asked with curiosity.
"What do you mean, my lord?" Draco asked, not knowing what exactly what Voldemort was asking.
"Who do you love Draco?" Voldemort said slyly.
"MMM...Would it matter? Would it help bring down Potter?" Draco asked.
"Yes." Voldemort said in a sinister voice.
"Weasley." Draco said with a smirk on his face.
"Which one, Draco?" Voldemort asked evilly and impatiently.
"Ronald. Ronald Weasley." Draco said with a smirk of happiness.
"Good. I believe we can break Harry easily with the boy." Voldemort said.
"And what do you plan to do with him, my lord?" Draco asked.
"Why don't I let you do what you want with him?" Voldemort suggested, not caring what Draco did to Ron.
Draco immediately began to find a way to get the one thing that he's wanted for so long. Ron was so beautiful. Draco could never take his eyes off him. He wanted Ron in his arms. He wanted to kiss those soft lips that Ron has. He wanted Ron to be his and his alone.
Hmm.. mm What should I do to Weasley other than have sex with him? Something that I can take from him in the future. A child. Yes, a child. Where is that potion book? There, now to find out where he is. Draco thought.
In the meantime...
"About time Percy. Honestly, I think you take longer than Harry." Ron said with a light chuckle.
"Do you want to go or not because I can cancel..." Percy teased.
"No, I really want to go. Please." Ron yelped.
Percy began to chuckle. "Okay lets go, want to floo?"
" Sure." Ron said.
Percy went into the fireplace. "Diagon Alley!" He shouted. Ron was quick to follow.
As they went through the flow network and through the twist and turn they landed in Diagon Ally. Percy got out first and was waiting to catch Ron.
"Whoo, Hoo! Hehehehe!" Came a laugh as Percy caught his younger brother.
"Hehehehahahaha...mm" Ron laugh as Percy caught him. "That was fun." Ron said.
"Yes, it was but lets get going." Percy ordered. "We need to go to Gringotts."
"Okay." Ron agreed.
They went to Gringotts and got what money they needed. Their Mum had given Percy the key to the family vault but Percy also had his own money and he picked up some from his own vault. Being under the Ministery sure did pay off. They went on.
Ron wanted to get Harry something for his birthday. Nothing too expensive though.
"So, Ron what are you thinking of getting Harry for his birthday." Percy asked.
"Well, I was thinking of something that would be good, but it might be expensive. But really he deserves it." Ron said.
"What is it Ron?" Percy asked.
"It's this big snow globe where Harry can remember all of us. People from the order and us, Hermione, and Remus…and even Sirius..." Ron said as he paused for a minute.
"But it's too expensive. So I probably should go with a gift that is less expensive. Like maybe Quidditch gloves for this year." Ron finished.
"Did you forget that I worked for Fudge and got paid pretty well? Save the money Mum left you. Let's go get that snow globe you want for Harry."
"Really, you mean it?" Ron asked looking into his brother's eyes.
"Yes, yes I do. And plus let me make up for some of the things I have done to you…and Harry especially. Please?" Percy begged.
Ron smiled up at his big brother. He definitely did change, and Ron was loving the new Percy in front of him. They went into the store and asked for the snow globe. It was a nice one, with a beautiful view of Hogwarts and next to it would have the picture of everyone who was close to Harry and those who knew him well. Percy purchased the snow globe for Ron. Now all they had to do is get the picture. As they finished shopping for Harry, Ron's stomach started to rumble.
"Percy, I'm hungry. Why don't we get something to eat?" Ron asked.
"Sure, Ron." Percy said with a big smile.
They went into the Leakey Cauldron in Diagon Ally and ate lunch happily talking to each other. Once they were done, Percy paid for the meal. They stopped to get some food for the night to make dinner. They didn't want their Mom cooking tonight. Finally, Percy and Ron got all their shopping down and started down Diagon Ally. It was here, Ron noticed something moving in the Ally way.
"Hey, lets take a short cut." Ron suggested. His curiosity had gotten the better of him, as usual.
Percy looked at his little brother. "No, Ron we can't. We have to get home."
"Oh come on where is you sense of adventure?" Ron asked, pouting.
"Oh, alright. Lets go." Percy sighed and led his younger brother into the ally way.
The ally was dark and dreadful. It almost scared Ron, who moved closer to Percy as they went through. As nothing eventful was happening, Ron started to relax, when suddenly Percy stopped, causing Ron to bump into him. He was about to ask Percy why he stopped but was quickly shushed and told to listen. So he did, along with Percy. They heard footsteps coming.
Closer...
Closer they came.
Closer...
"Percy what is going on?" Ron asked with a gulp.
"Something's not right Ron. Get behind me." He said gripping his wand tightly in his hand, while the other shoved Ron behind him.
Closer...
Closer the footsteps came...
Without warning, several cloaked figures apparated in front of them.
"Well, Well, Well, What do we have here?" One of the Death Eaters asked with an evil feminine voice.
"Could it be that we have two loners wondering around Diagon Ally unprotected?" another death eater sneered.
Out of nowhere, another death eater came, raising his hands to his hood to lower it and a face, rather familiar to Ron, appeared.
"Malfoy!" Ron said surprised
"Yes, Weasley," Draco snapped. "So, your brother decided to return to your unworthy family, did he?" Draco laughed as Ron began to get angry again. He stepped out from behind Percy.
"Shut up, Malfoy." Ron told him as Percy pushed him back.
"Why don't you come with me, I can give you anything you want Ron." Draco said seductively.
"No, way Draco! I'd never go anywhere with you!" Ron yelled to Malfoy, jumping in front of Percy again.
"Oh, so you want to do this the hard way, huh Ron?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" Ron asked as Percy put Ron behind him again.
"This!" Draco said with a snap of his fingers.
The death eaters came in closer and encircled the two Weasleys. Percy was panicking in his mind, but on the outside he was trying to stay as calm as he could so he wouldn't scare Ron. One of the death eaters was about to shoot off a spell when they heard something.
"Expelliarmus!" Percy shouted, disarming one of them.
"Ahh!" Ron yelled not knowing what had happened, for Percy was keeping him firmly behind him.
"Ron, listen to me. Try to get out of here. No matter what happens here I will always be proud of you. You know that right?" Percy said.
"Yes." Ron said back looking up to his older brother with tears in his eyes looking afraid.
"Crucio!" One of the Death Eaters said with the spell heading towards Percy.
"AHHHH!" Percy said as the spell hit him and he fell to the ground.
"Percy!" Ron said as he tried to get close to him, but Malfoy grabbed him by the wrist tightly.
"You're coming with me!" Malfoy said.
"Never!" Ron said as he tried to escape.
Malfoy's grip tightened. "Ow! Let go of me Malfoy." Ron said with tears in his eyes from the pain.
"Sorry, but I can't. Your mine!" Draco said slyly.
"Let go of me! Help me!" Ron yelled in a desperate attempt to get help.
Next thing he knew, Ron heard several other people running towards them and the others in the ally way. Spells flew from both sides of the battle.
"Ahh! Dad, Bill, Percy save me! Help!" Ron felt a sharp pain as he saw his dad and Bill look on with worried faces.
"Ron!" Bill yelped as Malfoy grabbed Ron's arm tighter. Bill reached for Ron.
"Well, look at him good. It will be the last time you will ever see him." Draco disapparated with Ron in tow.
"No!" Mr. Weasley lunged for his youngest son but was to late. The death eaters had escaped. With Ron.
"Ahh!" Percy yelped as he woke up with a nasty headache. "Where's Ron?" Percy demanded as he sat up quickly.
