AN/ Heh. All I can say, is that I really am sorry. I just haven't been motivated to write anything in so long, or if I have been it's been Kingdom Hearts or something. I had almost forgotten about this but I got some reviews and faves recently (ish) and decided that I would have to finish it off. And here is the final chapter. I decided to leave the final verse/chorus just as an ending note, it seemed to work well. Anyway, sorry again for the long wait. Oh have also fixed up a lot in the previous chapters. O.o my god there was some terrible wording in that. But I can't promise it's much better. Haven't slept more than nine hours in …. Six days now. Joyyyyyyy.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. All lyrics are from The Living End "From Here on in".

Enjoy.

From Here On In

Chapter Four

By ScreamForSOH


"I've got no time for you,

So don't come near me,

'Cos I just can't stand it,

Now there's no room for you,

For I know where I'm going…"

It was a similar scene when Harry finally confronted Ron about his behaviour around the children of Death Eaters, everything he had done just to spite those who had been labelled 'Dark' by society, and most importantly, all the times he had tried to destroy Harry's relationship with Draco. He had always planned on talking to Ron about his attitude, but he never expected it to happen like it did.

Each day went past and he kept thinking to himself, he'd do it the next day, he was sure that he wanted to do it, he just was nervous about seeing his once best friend's face filled with such hate, disgust and mistrust as his when ever he was around, particularly when Draco was around.

But fate caught up with him once more and the two ran into each other in Diagon Alley.

Harry and Draco were spending the day at Diagon Alley and were about to head off home when they heard Ron call out for Harry. Grimacing on the inside, Harry turned to see what the red head wanted while also trying to organise his thoughts and prepare himself for what he needed to say. And for a moment he couldn't find the words, until he saw Ron's expression upon noticing Draco.

"What do you want Ron?" Harry asked, recognising the strained expression Ron had.

"Why did you do that to Dumbledore? He was the best Headmaster has had, so you go and get him fired and removed from society?" Ron half yelled.

Harry rolled his eyes, he had been expecting much worse than this. "If you would open your eyes and see the man he really was and the things he had done, then maybe you wouldn't be so quick to blame me for results from the old man's own actions." Harry said calmly; his mind definitely made up now.

Ron rolled his eyes and went to say something else, but Harry cut him off. "You know what Ron? I've had enough of this, you are never going to listen to what I have to say, and so will never understand or begin to accept the changes needed in this new world. So why don't you bugger off, stop harassing my friends, family and myself. We don't care what you have to say. Stay away from us, and never look back. You don't belong as a part of these coming changes since all you ever do is talk, not ask questions or listen to what people have to say. Good bye Ron, you wanna hope I don't see you around."

With that said, Harry linked his fingers with Draco's and walked away from the scene, leaving Ron standing in the crowded laneway by himself; still too stunned to speak.

"You did the right thing, Harry." Draco said quietly after a couple minutes when they had slowed to a stroll and were entering Muggle London. Harry sighed and nodded. He knew this was true, he just hated that things had to turn out like that. "Come on, we'll go find you the biggest sundae muggles can manage." He said with a grin, leading a now smiling Harry through the busy streets.


"Don't come around here no more,

You're not welcome here anymore…"

AN/ And there you have it. It's finished. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. Please review and let me know what you thought.
