Chapter Three- Expanding Horizons
"He hasn't eaten or slept in four days!" Hermoine exclaimed,shaking her head in disgust. Her face was slightly tear stained and she was sweating. "Can't you do anything?" asked Harry, shaking Hermoine's shoulders. Hermoine shrugged and started walking away. "Where are you going!" Harry shouted. "I don't know,I don't care..." answered Hermoine,going down the stairs. Harry took a deep breath and licked his lips and smoothed his hair,trying not to look upset.He put on a fake grin and knocked on the common room door.
"Can I come in?" Harry yelled. There was a long and reluctant pause but finally a soft hurt mutter said, "Sure." and Harry entered the room and gasped. Shirts, pants, food were everywhere, and Ron was hidden behind a sofa, with only wearing his trousers and in his right hand he held a pitcher of root beer. In the other hand, a french fry.
His hands were bruised as if he was cutting himself or something and his hair had lost it's flaming color. "Ron! What's wrong with you!" said Harry, shaking Ron. Ron didn't answer. His face looked frozen for a minute and then his wide eyes turned toward Harry. "Huh?"
"Ron, look! Fleur is gone, and there's nothing you can do about it. I know your upset and all, but the only thing your doing is hurting yourself!" said Harry shaking his head in the grief. Ron sat there,with the french fry. Finally he took a sip of root beer and sighed.
"Your right. Its been four days. But its a sign Harry...I'll never find love..ever!" Ron declared. Harry gave him a weird look. "Look Ron, you've never been so crazy in your life! Your only 15, don't worry about love!"
Ron shook his head and sighed. "I came in this world alone and..."
"Get over it Ron! She's gone!" Harry said. Ron sat there, with his lips closed and tears in his eyes. "Sorry" Harry mumbled, putting on a sad expression. Ron shook his head. "Your right."
"So lets go down to breakfast" said Harry. Ron shrugged. "Hey...I never did ask you what happend to Fleur after she went to the hospital, Harry."
Harry looked at him, startled. "Dont do this to me Ron."
"Whattya mean?" Ron asked in a panicked voice. "Didn't you say she went to the hospital and she's fine?"
"She's dead Ron."
