Ron stood in the circle as the Death Eaters moved closer to Ginny. Taking a step closer to Harry to fill in any gaps, he took Luna's hand in fear. This was going to get messy and he knew it. It was going to be worse than anything any of them had faced yet.

"I want her!" Bellatrix cackled. "I want the little one. She will give in easily. Small" She said, eying Ginny past Harry "And weak."

"And you can have the little one," Lucius answers, "but not until I get my prophecy first."

Ron felt Luna squeeze his hand lightly as he looked over at her. Her lips were moving, nearly invisible unless someone knew where to look but Ron blocked out what everyone else was saying as he tried to listen to her soft innocent voice.

"When Harry says 'Go'' She said, nearly inaudible. "Knock down the prophecies."

Ron squeezed her hand back, letting her know that he had in fact heard what she said as he focused on one prophecy up above the Death Eater's head who was facing him. That was where he was going to shoot, directly above the Death Eater in front of him, smashing the prophecy against the man's head. That was how he was going to do it.

"You're going to have to kill me first." Harry growls back, glaring at Lucius.

"That can be arranged." Bellatrix answers, an evil smile covering her face. "I think I can manage-"

"NO!" Lucius barks, glaring back at her. "The Dark Lord wants him alive."

"NOW!" Harry hollered, seeing Lucius turning his head as his chance to get ahead. The six teens each shot at a prophecy, causing the glass balls around them to fall to the ground. Ron couldn't hear much as each of the prophecies gave off a quiet secret, confessing what the prophecy had held.

"Come on!" He hollered to Luna, pulling her as he held her hand. "We have to get out of here!"

Luna reached behind her, grabbing the back of Ginny's shirt and letting her know to follow them without saying a word. Quickly, the trio ran past Harry, Neville, and Hermione as a group of Death Eaters ran after them. "This one!" Ginny yelled, pulling open a door at the end of the hallway. The three of them ran into the room, shutting the door behind them before realizing that the room didn't have a floor, or a ceiling for that matter and they started to float around.

"Where are we?" Ron asked, looking around at the nine floating balls also in the room. "This place looks weird."

"That's Earth," Luna says, pointing in front of her. "And this one has rings. It must be Saturn."

"We are in space?!" Ron exclaims, looking at his sister in shock. "You put us in space!"

"It's better than being followed by Death Eaters Ronald!" Ginny barks back, nearly sounding like their mother. "Why do you have to be so...so...unappreciative!"

"I think it's a rather nice place to hide." Luna answers, circling around Mars playfully. "No one will-"

Suddenly, the door burst open again as Bellatrix followed by two other masked Death Eaters enter the room, also floating around. The trio tried to get away from the Death Eaters, Ginny going towards Pluto as Ron hid behind Jupiter, using it as a giant red and white shield and Luna stayed close to Mars, the red planet she had been circling before. Hexes were flown all over the mini-outer space as the Death Eaters distracted Ron and Luna while Bellatrix worked her way closer to where Ginny was until she finally wrapped her hand around Ginny's ankle.

"I have her!" Bellatrix hollers, causing Luna and Ron to turn.

"Bombarda!" Luna hollers, hitting Pluto behind the Ginny, causing it to explode. Bellatrix held onto Ginny's ankle as she got pushed forward violently from the explosion causing a loud pop to come from Ginny's ankle followed by her screaming out in pain.

"Why you little!" Bellatrix hollered as she lost her grip on Ginny's ankle and pointed her wand at Luna. "AVADA KEDEV-"

"EXPELLIAMUS!" Ron hollered, knocking Bellatrix' wand out of her hand and causing it to fly into a blue Neptune, now sticking out of the planet. "Don't touch my almost-girlfriend!" He warned, staring Bellatrix in the eyes seconds before a purple lightning bolt shot him directly in the chest.

Not realizing what he was doing, Ron had exposed himself defending Luna leaving him open and available for a shot from one of the Death Eaters, who had happily taken his opportunity to weaken the trio more.

A distant look covered Ron's face as he stared straight ahead, looking past anything in the room. Luna quickly rushed over to him, her body being weightless making it less-than-easy.

"Ronald," She whispered softly, looking him in the eyes. There was still a light in his eyes, meaning he was still alive and she couldn't help but wonder what kind of hex they had placed on him, but Ron remained quiet. "Ronald." She repeats, "Are you okay?"

A smile crept across Ron's face, spreading from ear to ear as he looked into Luna's eyes, still staring past her as she so often did him and started to giggle.

"What's so funny Ronald?" She asked softly, hoping it wasn't the wrackspurts who had entered his brain.

Ron continued to giggle before finally answering Luna. "I can..." He stops himself, giggling so hard he was nearly crying. "I...I can see Uranus Luna." He laughs, "Get it? Uranus?"

"Well, I can see Uranus too." Luna laughs back, finding it rather silly that Ron had just now figured out that was one of the planets there. "Now come on, we need to keep going." She said, shooting at another Death Eater. She turned her back to Ron as he continued to giggle, realizing that she was going to have to protect him since he couldn't stop laughing long enough to protect himself.

"HEY GINNY!" Ron hollered from behind Luna to his sister who was now shooting spells behind her at Bellatrix and trying to get closer to him and Luna. "I'M LOONY FOR LUNA LOVEGOOD!" He said with a snicker, as if he had just whispered a secret into Ginny's ear rather than hollering it out for the three Death Eaters to hear as well. "LOONY FOR LUNA LOVEGOOD." He howls, flipping forward through the air. "LOOOONY!"

Ginny spotted a door up at the top of the room, closer to Mercury than anything and there were no Death Eaters in there way. "Luna," She whispered, pointing up at the door. "Don't say anything to Ron, he'll holler it out, but look."

Luna looked up at the door, nodding in understanding as they slowly moved Ron upward, closer to the door. They just got the door open whenever another lightning shot past them, blowing off into the distance behind them.

"Confungo!" Ginny yells out, hitting the Death Eater who had just shot out a spell at them directly in the chest. Luna pushed Ginny through the door, who collapsed as soon as her ankle hit the floor. "It...It hurts." Ginny says, grabbing her ankle, "I..I think I broke it."

Luna nods in understanding as she pushes a giggly Ron through the door and follows them through the door, slamming it shut behind her. "Colloportus!" She says, pointing her wand at the door, causing it to lock in place. "It hurts?" She asked, knowing that could finally stop and breathe for a moment.

Ginny nodded softly, moving her hand to expose a black and purple ankle underneath. She flinched as Luna touched her ankle softly.

"I can fix toes, you know." Luna says, looking at the ankle closely. "How different can an ankle be?"

"I think an ankle is a little bit more complicated." Ginny answers, staring down at her foot nervously. "Maybe we should save this one for Madam Pomfrey."

Luna nods, not taking what Ginny had said to heart as she looks over at Ron who was still trying to keep from bursting out in laughter.

"Hey Luna," Ron says with a snicker. "Did you know that...that I...I think I may...I think I love Luna Lovegood." He said, snickering at the thought like a little schoolboy.

"That's nice Ronald." Luna answered, wrapping one of Ginny's arms around her own shoulder. "Come on Ginny, Ronald can walk and we will go find the others." It didn't take them long to meet back up with Harry, who seemed to be the best out of the three, Hermione, who was currently unconscious and laying against a wall, and Neville, who had his hand covering his broken nose.

"What happened to you three?" Ginny asked, looking from Harry to Hermione to Neville and back at Harry.

"Hermione got knocked out, but Neville still feels a pulse." Harry told her, before looking over at Neville.

"Dey boke my noze." Neville says, holding his hand up to his mouth and nose, trying to stop the bleeding.

Ron stood there giggling a he looked over at the tub sitting in the middle of the room. "I saw Uranus Harry!" He says with pride before giggling like an innocent school girl. "Get it? I saw URANUS!"

"I get it Ron." Harry answered, trying to focus on the task at hand.

"What is this?" Ron asked, looking up at the tub. "BRAINS! They are brains Harry!" Ron says, his eyes fixated on the tub of brains.

"That's great Ron," Harry answers, "Don't touch them." He then turns to Luna, confused. "What happened to him?"

"The Death Eaters zapped him." Luna answers, looking at Ron who was now slowly walking towards the tub, gazing at the red liquid the brains sat in. "He's been babbling like this for quite some time now. Perhaps they zapped Wrackspurts into his head." She then set Ginny down on the floor, letting her stretch out her legs and check on her ankle. "Then, one of them grabbed Ginny's ankle. I shot at the Death Eater but missed and hit Pluto behind them. When I did, I think I...I think..."

"My ankle is broken." Ginny fills in, rubbing her sore ankle softly.

"Brilliant," Harry answers sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "So, Ginny can't walk. Hermione is unconcious. Ron is...Ron?" He turned around, looking for his best mate only to catch him a moment too late.

"Hehe...watch this Harry!" Ron hollers, "Accio Brain!" With that, one of the brains comes flying out of the tub, quickly wrapping tentacles around Ron's face as a group of Death Eaters storm into the room, shooting hexes at Harry, Luna, Ginny, and Neville. The four people fight the Death Eaters as Ron fights back against the brain, only causing it to squeeze tighter. He feels light-headed as the brain squeezes down viciously, blocking off his oxygen supply and Ron looks over at Luna.

Closing his eyes, Ron unwillingly gives in to the brain as through blurred vision he tries to force his eyes to stay open and stare at the blonde in front of him, throwing counter-curses at the Death Eaters. Slowly the yellow blonde of her hair and deep brown of her eyes starts to fade together as he gives in, drifting into unconsciousness.
