THE WISH PT VI

Ron, Harry, and Hermione made their way to Dumbledore's office, all three of them petrified. They were worried and shocked, and none of them really knew what to do in this situation.
Ron was stricken with fear. Ginny, attacked, the same way as Hermione, it was just all too much for him. Ginny was his baby sister, and he was kind of embarrassed to say he loved her more than any of his brothers, probably because she helped him the most. Also, they were the closest in age. His stomach felt like it had fallen out of his body, leaving a wide empty hole. His head was swarming and, finally, Dumbledore's voice brought him back to reality.

" Harry, Ron, and Hermione. You have been through a lot in the past few days, and I want to comment on your bravery. Harry, I believe you have written to Sirius about all of this?"

" Yes, Professor," Harry replied, in a somewhat meek voice.

" Very well. Please inform me when he replies. Now, I now this is a bit much for you, but I feel you need to know," He continued. " My sources currently tell me Voldemort is no where near, but I feel otherwise. With these attacks happening, I seem to think that He is near to us."

Ron gave an involuntary shiver, and chills ran up and down his spine. First Hermione, then Ginny, now this. He just wished it would all stop, and everything would be normal again. The happiness that had been a couple of weeks ago seemed like the distant past, and any hope of being happy again, he felt, was gone. After all, they were only fifth years, not adults, and it was just too much to take.

Dumbledore continued, despite the painful looks on the trio's faces. " I believe, that you three, are the answer to our problems. You are the only one who can make this stop. You three must go after Voldemort, I have some skills and items that will help you. I know that this might seem all of a sudden, but this mission has taken much thought."

The three looked at each other with blank looks, and Dumledore continued.

" I could of had anyone go after him on this mission, but I felt you three were the ones for it. Miss Granger, with her cleverness, Mr. Weasley, wih his resourcefulness, and Mr Potter, with his bravery. The three of you combined will create an outstanding force, which I doubt, anyone, even Voldemort, can shatter. Here are your instructions." He handed them a piece of paper, and stood up. " You must go tonight. And remember, I will always be with you." He fixed them with his watery blue stare, and left the room.

They were speechless. Ron pinched himself, thinking this was all just one big bad dream, and he would wake up any moment now, and be in his four poster in his dormitory.

" Well," said Harry, sot of shakily. " Are you guys ready?" He had a glint of determination in his green eyes, and that somehow gave Ron a courage he would never have if it was just him alone.

" I am....r-r-ready," Ron said, his hand still intertwined with Hermiones.

" I am too," Hermione said standing up.

They all read over the directions on the sheet Dumbledore had given them, and went over the plan. They were to use the invisibility cloak, as a tool for safety. They were to leave for the forbidden forest tonight, and find clues as to where he might be. Dumbledore had added something at the bottom of the note: Believe in yourself, you will always find strength and courage in others.

Neither of the three of them said anything, as they retrieved their tools, and wrote a note to Ginny and the others. As they left the castle, all of them scared beyond anything, Hermione said something that wasn't really expected.

"Ron," She whispered in his ear. " No matter what happens, I will always love you."

They looked at each other. Him, Her , and Harry would have to face what would come, but they had the most powerful weapon of all. Each other.





How was it, did it really suck?? PLEASE R/R!!!!!!!
