I Love You, Now Die





Everyone in the hospital wing waited with bated breath.

Madame Pomfrey smiled. "He's alive!!"

Harry yelped with joy and ran to Ron's bed, Hermione, Draco, and Sirius behind him.

He was still sleeping peacefully. He had a tiny smile on his face, as if reassuring them he was alright.

"But Professor, how did Ron survive?" Hermione asked, hanging onto Draco's arm. "He was hit by Avada Kedavra..."

"Draco wasn't powerful enough alone." Dumbledore answered. "It took all three of you, and Sirius" at this, Sirius smiled proudly and waved to an imaginary crowd, "to kill Voldemort. So, Mr. Weasley will be fine. He should recover in a couple of days."

Draco's shoulders sagged in relief. "Professor Dumbledore, you must believe me...I was under the Imperius Curse!"

Dumbledore held up a hand. "We will discuss details later. Right now, you all need to get some rest. I will inform the rest of the school what has happened. Come along, Sirius."

Sirius followed Dumbledore out, but he paused at the door. "Hahaha, you have to stay in bed! You have to stay in bed! You have to-AHHHH!" he ran out before he could be hit by the chocolate that was flying at his head.





Madame Pomfrey allowed Harry, Hermione, and Draco to leave the hospital wing later in the week. She didn't seem too pleased about it, though.

The whole school was buzzing. Everyone wanted to know exactly what had happened to Voldemort, where was Ron, is everyone okay? But Professor Dumbledore forbade anyone to ask questions.

At breakfast the morning Harry, Hermione, and Draco got out of the hospital wing, a girl approached Harry and Hermione. They recognized her. She was also from Gryffindor, in sixth year. In her hand was an envelope.

"Um, sorry to bother you...." she started. "But my name is Jade. I was wondering..." she hesitated, chewing on a strand of her red hair.

"Yes?" Hermione asked.

Jade shoved the letter into Hermione's hands, talking very fast. "Would you please give this to Ron? I would really appreciate it. Thank you!" then she sprinted off.

Harry grinned. "I'll give it to him. I'm gonna go up there soon. Madame Pomfrey says he should be awake in a bit."

Hermione nodded, and handed over the letter. "I'm going to go find Draco. Tell Ron I'll be up soon. Catch ya later, Harry!" she smiled and gave him a quick hug. He saw her join Draco at the Slytherin table. Then he sighed and headed up to the hospital wing.





Ron was sitting up, reading a Chudley Cannons book. He glanced up when Harry entered. "Harry!! How are you!!?"

Harry smiled and walked over. "I should be asking that! You're a real hero. Saved Hermione. She's really grateful. She'll be up later."

Ron grinned. "Okay. Great. Hey, what's that in your hand?"

Harry shrugged. "It's for you. From a girl named Jade."

Ron flushed a dark red. "J-Jade?" he hurredly opened up the letter and read it.

"What's it say, Ronnie?" Harry asked teasingly.

Ron, still blushing, held out the letter.

"'Dear Ron, I really admire the way you saved your best friend like that. It was so heroic......'" Harry trailed off, reading the rest of the letter. He looked up. "Oooh, Ronnie's got a girlfriend???"

"I met her last summer. She's really nice. We're friends." He added, glaring at Harry. They both laughed.





Hermione sat down with Draco at the Slytherin table. "Hi, Draco."

"Hey, Hermione!!" he glared at the various Slytherins that shot dirty looks at Hermione. "Was wondering when you'd come and see me." he flashed his trademark smirk.

"You have legs, too, Draco. Or are you incapable of walking?" she shot back teasingly. He mock-growled at her before kissing her.

"Hmm...maybe I should take ten points from Slytherin....public display of affection...hahaha..." she murmured. "I am Head Girl, after all...."

"Ah, but as Head Boy, I could just give them right back." he laughed softly.

Most of the Great Hall watched, but they no longer cared. Voldemort was gone. There was nothing more to fear. After all, if the Head Boy and Girl, from Slytherin and Gryffindor, could put aside their differences, why couldn't they? It was the dawning of a new aura at Hogwarts.

Let's hope it stays that way.
