It was a fairytale; only this time the knight in shining armor came to rescue the fair prince rather than the princess. They were a perfect picture, both fierce. They stood tall, fighting to protect those they held dear their fingers intertwined. It was an example of true love.
Together they took down the Darkest wizard to ever live.
Together they conquered.
Together they promised they would be until the end.
Harry smiled as Ron handed him a drink, he thanked his secret lover and brought the warm drink- hot cocoa- to his lips. His smile disappeared as he took on the nervous demeanor of his love.
"What's wrong, Ron?" Harry asked, placing a hand on his shoulder, concern written on his face.
"Nothing Harry," Ron replied rather shortly, shrugging Harry's hand off him, Ron sighed, "Promise, Harry, I'm fine."
"Okay then," Harry said worried, he turned around to greet another person who had just arrived at their party putting a smile on and shaking their hand warmly.
A few moments later, Harry's heart clenched as Ron dropped to one knee.
"Hermione, will you marry me?"
Harry felt his heart wither away and die in his chest.
Some tales, however, are not meant to end in a setting sunset.
This fairytale is a tragedy and has no happily ever after.
