Chapter 4
In the morning Ron woke up and made his best to walk out of his room unnoticed by Harry's light sleep. He ran down the stairs quickly without making any sound. The agile Ron made his way out of the house. The sun was rising slowly up in the horizon. He stood there and smelt the fresh air. He walked barefooted in the humid grass. He peacefully walked down his path and made sure that nobody was following him with his ultra sensitive hearing. He walked for about fifteen other minutes and arrived at destination.
In front of a giant old willow with golden and silver leaves touching the ground. He extended his right hand in the air and formed a circle. The circle transformed itself into a floating water sphere with a flame in the middle of it.
His blues eyes turned out grey and the water sphere advanced to the tree and fed him with its water. It made the tree's flowers opened as a sign of gratitude. An old woman passed through the willow's cascades of leaves.
"I feel that you are troubled by your powers. They are at war against you, young man." said the old Lady with a serene face. Ron's eyes looked tired and wounded. He just looked at her paleface.
"I had a fight with my two best friends. I shouldn't have asked for their help." replied Ron sadly with a morose sigh coming right after.
"Hermione and Harry?" asked the old Lady with a knowing smile.
"How did you know?" asked Ron foolishly.
"You're smarter than that Ron you know what I'm talking about. You're too young to worry about this. Don't bother try to make me regret my choice. Your pure soul is confused now, you should rest. You used your powers too much." said the old Lady with a concerned voice.
"But why did I treat them like this? I must have act like a-
"I'm interrupting you right now before you say something stupid, my young boy. You were after all placed in Gryffindor for a reason and don't think about it. You weren't placed in Gryffindor just because you're a Weasley but it's not me who should give you the answers, you're going to be the next guardian of the family and of the world. The willow is the door that everyone doesn't know about. The Great Willow is mighty because he was sowed by the hands of Merlin himself which is thousands years ago." said the old Lady making appear an apple for him.
"I know that Grand Ma!" snapped Ron and immediately said: "I know, I know 'temper temper." After that he took a big bite in the apple. He looked at his grandmother and gave her a big smile that could melt the heart of every person owning Y chromosomes. The old Lady looked at her grandson and immediately reminded herself why she chose him. Except that he needed to wake up and give himself more credit. She told him that already but she knew that being pushy about it would have made it worst. The fact that his friends came earlier turned her grandson's life upside down again. But sooner or later he would have had to face it.
"Grand Ma I know what you're thinking about, I agree with you." said Ron to his grandmother with a wider heart melting smile.
"Don't feel too proud about yourself right now you have a lot of work to do with your emotions and powers." warned the old Lady.
"Talk about a harsh way to burst my bubble." said Ron throwing the chewed apple in some small puddle of mud.
"Well, its life. Why do you think you need help from your friends Ron?" said his Grand Ma with a wise smile full of white teeth.
"Funny. Harry asked me the same thing. I thought it could help if they would help control my powers. You're a good teacher and all but I won't to see as much as I could this summer when I'm going to be at Hogwarts. Oh there's a question that is really bothering me ever since I got these powers and met you. Does that mean that I'll have to pretend a death to go live in the Great Willow?" asked Ron expressing the fear and confusion with his face.
"Grand son, it's a choice. For me it had been hard too to keep this from my family and friends so I decided to tell them and contrary to you they didn't really want to help me. I quitted England for a while and met a Scott man with hair as red as mine used to be. Only your dad, Molly and you knows about it. But please don't do same think I did, at least you are younger than I when I received my powers and you have a tutor to help you. You don't have to fake Ron to be honest about it you can't even lie properly." said the old Lady as if it was a lullaby.
"Yeah. I think I have to go. I'll try to come back tomorrow." said Ron with a brighter smile.
And his grand mother disappeared leaving petals of roses on her way. He made his way back at the Burrow with a big smile on his face.
While he was walking.
* Grandson you should talk to Hermione.*
*Why because she won't talk to me?*, said Ron's voice to his grand mother.
*Ron. She's been your friend for years. They all think you've changed so prove it. When there's changes in someone they change the being completely even if this person is stubborn.*, shot back his grand mother.
*You heard what she said to me.*
*Still. How many times did you insult her?*
*As much as she insulted me. It's a choice I have to make like you said earlier near the Great Willow.*
*Good then you don't have much time now, she's near you I can feel her.*
*No! I can feel her to you know.*, said Ron with a sarcastic yet not that insulting voice.
*Good luck you need a lot.* finished his Grand Ma and immediately broke the connection between Ron and her.
Hermione was sitting on a bench, reading her book a gain. It was still at the same page that the previous day. She kept on thinking about what Ron said and most importantly about what Ron said to Harry earlier this night. She felt guilty about her snooping on her two best friends but she just didn't want to feel left out. She heard someone walking behind her. She turned her head and saw Ron walking toward her with a smile of confidence on his face.
"What are you smiling at?" asked Hermione annoyed.
"You heard Harry and me didn't you?" said Ron still with a smile on his face. Wasn't he supposed to be mad her at her? Mad at HER for stepping in Harry and Ron's private conversation? She looked at him intrigue full of question inside her head.
"Are you going to answer or I'll have to read your minds?" asked Ron still smiling as before. He took her book and put in on the bench. He sat next to her. He felt her beginning to blush even before her cheeks coloured.
"I did hear you." said Hermione with a shaking voice. She looked at Ron and Ron looked at her with an expression that said 'continue'.
"Okay, I listened to you two. I was worried and I didn't know if whether or not I should help or ignore you. Then I hear you say these things about me. You have no idea about how much you were wrong about everything last night. I didn't want-
"To insult me, but you did. All we ever do is hurt each other." said Ron in exasperation in his voice.
She looked at him for an instant thinking about what she was going to say next.
"It's alright Hermione you don't have to say it." He replied to her with his voice.
"I do have to. I'm sorry Ron, I doubted you and put you down when all you wanted is to be a friend for once. Let me finish, I know I wounded you badly, I heard your speech to Harry last night and it made me cry so much I couldn't even sleep." said Hermione with her voice filled with emotions and her eyes becoming watery.
"I want to help you with the best of me. You understand! Even if it means being around you reading my thoughts all the time." added Hermione looking down at her feet.
He looked at his friend who was pouring her soul out. He lifted her chin and turned her head delicately so he could see her eyes. He smiled and gave her a kiss on her forehead (AH! Isn't suppose to be lower than that? The huge kiss with fireworks isn't for now. Sorry.)
After that he enlaced her with his arms and hugged her. She waited a bit before returning the hug.
Not far away from the Burrow the Great Willow's flowers opened again at Ron's gestures and forgiveness to his friend.
Oh, sweet Merlin.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
So? Enjoying it so far? Hope you guys do because I'm already thinking about some ways to torture you. Anyway, next chapter will be with Ron (OBVIOUS) and Ginny with probably somebody else. Maybe is going to share something else.
