Molly walked from Professor McGonagall's office lost in thought. She had
not realized that Ron felt the way about himself that he did. She had not
known that Ron thought she hated him. Tears sprang to her eyes and she
rubbed a hand over her heart.
'To know that your child thinks that you hate him must be the most awful feeling in the world. I'm so angry at myself and at Ron.' Her eyes widened at that thought. She was angry with Ron? 'Yes, I am. How dare he think that I don't love him with all the sacrifices that I did for him and the other children. How dare he think that I don't!'
Mrs. Weasley shook her head. Thoughts like that were not going to help Ron. That was her main priority. Putting her youngest son back together. 'At least I will have a chance to help this time. When Percy was going through this no one noticed.' She corrected herself. 'Oliver did.' Molly was immensely glad for the Quidditch player's presence in Percy's life.
"I hope Harry helps Ron as much as Oliver helped Percy.' Molly had never been more surprised as she had been when she'd walked in on Harry and Ron kissing. She had suspected that Ron held feelings other than friendship for the black haired boy but thought that nothing would ever come of it. There was no one in their little 'inner circle' that hadn't know of Harry's monumental crush on Cho Chang, who they didn't really like. There had just been something slightly off about her.
Molly found herself walking over to the Gryffindor Tower. Coming out the portrait hole was Percy and Oliver.
"You got my post then?" She asked. Percy nodded and reached out and grabbed Oliver's hand.
"Mom," Percy began. "I asked the house elves to bring them up some food. He may not eat for us but he'll eat for Harry. I talked to him and he seemed a bit better. He won't be all right after today but we need to realize that the path to recovery isn't short… or easy. We need to make him understand that no matter what we love him and will always be there. No matter what." His last words were slightly choked up.
Oliver squeezed his hand. This was affecting Percy more than he wanted to let on. It hadn't been that long since it had been Percy in Ron's position. But Percy had progressed to another level. He had actually graduated to the point where he had to hurt himself to get of the emotional and mental pain.
"Perce, we won't let it progress as far this time. He has all of us to fall back on if he needs it. Think about all the people who would lay down their lives for him, you, mother, your father, your brothers, Ginny, Hermione, Sirius Remus, me and most importantly Harry. They would do anything for each other. We won't let anything happen to him."
Percy took a deep breath. "I know that logically but I can't help up worry about him. Whether it is right or not, Ron is my favorite brother. I was the one he ran to when he was younger. He didn't run to me and there was nothing that I could do I feel so powerless."
Molly didn't hesitate in pulling her son into her arms. It didn't have the same effect as it had when he was younger but it helped. "Percy, I know how you feel. You feel a little betrayed that he didn't think that he could come to you with his problems and then you get mad at yourself because you should know better. But you can't help it."
She pulled Percy's face so that he was looking down into her eyes. "This isn't your fault. It isn't Ron's fault; it isn't my fault; it isn't Harry's fault. You need to know that and not blame yourself. There was nothing that we could have done to know before now, but now that we do know we have to do everything in our power to help him. You understand that, right?"
Percy nodded and smiled weakly. "The house elf should be gone any minute now. I'd give them a few minutes to eat and maybe talk then go up and talk."
"It's hard for me to stomach that I may be the root of all his problems. A mother doesn't like to think that the way that raised her children wrong, that she made mistakes."
Percy smiled down at his mother. "You forget that you are still a human being, and witch or not you are not perfect and can't read the future. You didn't know that you were doing anything wrong."
He hoped that this was going to be good for his family and not tear them apart. She reached up and brushed a lock of red hair off his forehead. "I'm going to head up there now. I don't think that we need to drag this out. He looked exhausted when was up there."
Molly smiled. "I'm proud of Ron though. Who knew that he be on the Wizard's Chess team for England? And that he's dating the boy who lived." With that she headed through the portrait hole.
As she walked up the stairs she sighed and remembered when this was where she slept. Molly knocked softly on the door and walked in. Harry was holding Ron as he dozed. He slid slowly out of the bed not wanting to disturb the redheaded boy's rest and he wanted to talk to Mrs. Weasley before she talked to Ron. He felt there were a few things that the two of them need to talk about before she discussed them Ron.
He gently took her arm and guided her out the door. He shut the door and turned to her. "Mrs. Weasley, I want you to know what happened with Cho and I. I don't want you to think that I am just doing this," he gestured with his hands, "to make him feel better about himself. I love Ron; I have from the minute I met him, maybe not in the way that I do now. Cho and I haven't been together since the summer."
He looked at her and smiled gently. " I think what would be best is to just let him know that we love him and will always be there for him." After a pause, Harry continued, " I got him to eat and sleep some but it will be awhile before he's back to normal."
Molly had forgotten how mature Harry was. She attributed it to all that he had gone through in his life. He had never really had the chance to be a child. She patted his hand and entered the room.
AN: Sorry guys! I've been so busy with school, it's amazing how much homework they give math majors… and all my professor seem to think that their class is my only class. Things have calmed down again so the next parts will be put out more regularly. Read and Review! It makes me write faster… But please no stupid reviews… *clears throat* NO! RON IS NOT PREGNANT!
