Moving On

Chapter 21

"Hey Ron, how are you feeling?" asked Harry; everyone else was asleep, Lucius and Severus had left. Saying something about telling Narcissa and Draco, must be about going away.

"Hermione left me Harry" said Ron wanting nothing more than to cry.

"WHAT?!" shouted Harry totally stunned.

"She's heading for the Muggle world by herself, she says she doesn't want me to watch her growing old and dieing" said Ron dry sobbing onto his best friend, who brought him into a hug.

"I'm so sorry Ron! What have I done?" said Harry in shock.

"It's not your fault mate, I would have said yes; well maybe I would have said no if I knew Hermione would leave me. She's my soul mate Harry I cant loose her, my life isn't worth it without her" said Ron.

"Christ" said Harry "What if you…turned her?"

"I don't think she wants that" said Ron a resigned look in his usually smirking face.

"Try Ron, don't give her up without a fight" said Harry trying to give Ron some of his famous spirit.

"Your right Harry" said Ron gathering his strength.

"You taken your potion?" asked Harry.

"Of course" said Ron.

"Good" smiled Harry.

"Hey George, where is Fred?" frowned Harry it's the first time he had seen them apart.

"I…Harry he begged me to turn him I had too" said George wide eyed as if he was afraid Harry would hate him.

"Oh god" said Harry, everyone was being turned into vampires! The place was going crazy.

"I'm sorry I can't live without him…I know he would only live one hundred years and that's it rest of eternity I would be alone. I don't want that Harry I'm sorry I would do it all over again" said George standing his ground.

Harry shook his head, "Fine, you're your own person I cannot tell you what to do"

"Thanks Harry" said George hugging his two brothers, Ron and Harry. "I read the newspapers well done…but they say nothing about you Harry no one knows your really back"

"They wont either guy's only Gringotts will know I'm leaving the Wizarding world at least for now" said Harry.

"What?! Why I thought that was why you were getting werewolves and vampires equal rights!" said George taken aback.

"No I did that because it was the right thing to do" said Harry, "I'm leaving," they could tell nothing would stop their brother.

"Why are you taking this so well?" asked Harry turning to Ron.

"Because I understand and because Mione told me yesterday before I woke up" admitted Ron.

"Oh" said Harry.

"What's wrong Ron?" asked George sensing something was wrong with his baby brother.

"Mione wants to leave me, she doesn't want me to watch her die of old age" said Ron.

"Turn her, ask her at least you might be surprised" said George.

"I will" said Ron.

"Away from the manor, go into the woods nearby tell her there, try out your flying abilities" smirked Harry, he had done and thought it was bloody fantastic.

Ron just nodded, walking off by himself an air of dejection around him.

"Will she say yes?" asked George worried.

"I don't know" said Harry honestly looking just as worried.

"Let's hope she does" said George before walking off.

"You're not the only one, I don't want to see my best friend grow old and die and the other probably try and kill himself" said Harry watching with worry. However, this was something he couldn't change; it was up to Ron now to do all he could.

Harry, Fred and George were the only ones in the manor now, Luna and Neville had gone off. Followed later by Hermione and Ron, all Harry could do now was hope for the best.

Harry couldn't help but feel really alone now; left to his own thoughts he wondered why anyone would want to be with a vampire. Could he really watch a loved one die? No he couldn't go through with that so - only one thing for it continue the rest of his life alone - but with the rest of his family.

"Hermione will you please consider me turning you?" asked Ron deciding that blunt was the best option. "I love you, you are my soul mate and I want to spend eternity with you. I wont be able to live without you - vampire or not" said Ron practically begging from the top of a tree.

"Oh RON!" sobbed Hermione tears running down her face "I thought you would never ask!" ever since she had said she was breaking up with him, her whole life seemed meaningless. She decided that if Ron didn't ask her to be turned she would go to Harry so she and Ron would always be together. She didn't like the thought of her family living eternity without her.

"You wanted me to ask?" said Ron totally baffled.

"Of course! I love you too Ron, I didn't want to grow old and see you still all young!" sobbed Hermione clutching Ron to her as hard as she could.

"Hermione I'm so happy! If I could cry I would be" said Ron smelling her beautiful hair.

Hermione just beamed through the tears and together they sat there watching the sun set. They didn't realise they had sat at the top of that tree all day; they were just too happy that they were going to be together forever.

"Just one more question…will you be my wife?" asked Ron bringing out a beautiful silver ring. It was a nice small diamond ring he had used all the money he had to buy it before the final battle. He had meant to ask before, but with everything that had happened he just completely forgot about it.

"YESS!! YES, YES I WILL RON I..YES!" laughed Hermione, hugging him some more before holding her hand out. Ron slid the ring onto her finger gracefully, and it was a perfect fit.

"You really have made me the happiest man in the world" whispered Ron hugging his new fiancée close.

"Neville I heard what you said to me" said Luna softly her face a picture of sadness that seemed almost like marble.

"I won't go back on what I said Luna you deserve more than me now! How could I ever hope to keep up with you unless you turned me?" said Neville sadly.

"Would you like that?" asked Luna, they were sitting at the edge of the garden furthest away from the house they could get. Sitting down on the green grass, having what was probably the most important conversation they could have.

"I…don't know" said Neville, never having thought about it.

Luna just kept silent watching Neville like a hawk, she loved Neville, very much he understood her when no one else did. He had been through pretty much the same as her. It was no wonder they were drawn together all Luna could do was hope for the best.

"I'll need to think about it" said Neville after five minutes of silence.

"That's all I can ask" said Luna; she was saddened by the fact that Neville needed time to think about it. She would have said yes right away, that was how much she loved Neville. Perhaps he didn't feel the same, who knew? Only time would tell.

"We best get back" sighed Luna.

"Yes" said Neville agreeing he had a lot of thinking to do.

--------------0 Back at Snape Manor 0--------------

"Hey how is everything?" asked Harry softly, when Neville and Luna joined him.

"As well as can be expected" sighed Neville.

Harry just nodded sadly; he just hoped the outcome for Hermione and Ron was a better one.

"SHE SAID YES! HARRY!!" grinned Ron, laughing happily.

"I'm glad Ron" smiled Harry in relief his two best friends would be with him always.

"We have more news too, Ron asked me to marry him I said yes" squealed Hermione the gushing fiancée that she was.

"BRILLIANT!" shouted Harry grinning wickedly for his two best friends hugging them and congratulating them. Luna and Neville too.

"I accept Luna" whispered Neville, he suddenly realised what a stupid idiot he was being. He loved Luna and would do anything for her, including this. Luna grinned gleefully today was turning out to be a good day. Ron and Harry pretended not to have heard what they did. It was up to Neville and Luna to say anything, Ron sat down Hermione on his knee a very happy man indeed.

"So when are you turning her?" asked Harry curiously.

"Tonight" smiled Ron.

"Then we shall be wakening up together Hermione, as magical creatures" said Neville once he realised what he had said, and blushed scarlet.

Everyone laughed, yes today certainly was a good day.

Suddenly a pop announced the arrival of others.

"Severus, Lucius!" smiled Harry "Everything alright?"

"Yes, Draco understands and demands that he's allowed to come and visit as much as he pleases demanding the best room too, just like Draco" smirked Lucius.

Harry laughed it certainly sounded like the Draco he knew anyway.

"We have decided where we want to go" said Severus.

"Where?" asked Harry immediately curious.

"A little place called Forks in Washington the population was 3, 120" said Severus "I doubt anyone will find us there or think to look there it's just a small town."

"Then I'm in we will need to look for houses in the area" said Harry "It will be hard to find one for five people".

"Actually it will be nine people, we are coming" said Hermione her arms crossed daring Harry to object.

"Are you hell leaving me and Fred!" said George he must have heard from up the stairs.

"Um…that will be eleven people then" said Harry wide eyed.

"Is there anyone else wanting to come?" said Severus wide eyed, a massive bunch of Gryffindor's how on earth was he going to survive? He wasn't sure but he didn't think this was a good idea.

"I think that's about it" said Harry grinning with glee.

"Then it's sorted" said Lucius laying a hand on Severus as if to calm him down. "We will get a house for us in no time,"

"I don't know if I ever said thank you" said Harry softly, his eyes filled with understanding.

"No need, you did us a greater service by getting rid of that mad man" said Lucius.

Harry just smirked at them.

So it was final, all of them were going to be vampires and they were all going to go to a small town called Forks. To get a little bit of normality into their life, maybe one day they would come back but for now they were happy to be just getting away from the ciaos, hurt and pain this world had brought them.

Well What Do You Think? It's Getting Close Will Harry Trust And Like Edward As Soon As He Sees Him? Or Like The Cullens See The Other Clan As A Threat To His New Family? R&R please
