Chapter 7:The Twins' Plan
Ron kicked the front door open with all his might, panting hard and out of breath.
The reason of why he kicked the door open was that in his arms lay Ginny, along with a piece of parchment that was partly covered in blood. He looked terrible. His eyes were bloodshot as he tried to suppress the pain he felt from forming tears. The pain he felt though was not physical pain he felt that led his tears to form but the emotional pain that was about to break his heart
The twins both jumped up from the shock, but recovered quickly at the sight of their unconscious sister and ran to help Ron. Charlie was so surprised that he couldn't move, except to press himself against the wall to allow them to pass, and settle Ginny on the couch
The three brothers noticed heavy blooded bandages on either of her wrists. The twins looked at Ron in horror while Charlie disapparated.
"What happened Ron?" George asked anxiously looking at him, but shooting furtive glances at Ginny. Ron didn't answer, he was looking at Ginny with mixed expression of worry and terror. George walked a little closer to him
"Ron" he repeated "what happened?" he finished slowly as he saw the state in which his brother, was in for the first time.
He was drenched in water and beside the occasional shiver he seemed oblivious to that fact and continued to stare at Ginny. He then seemed to come to his senses as he ran a hand through his hair and looked away
"She.. She cut her wrists" he said finally, his voice trembling "she cut her wrists and fell in the lake" his voice was now breaking down, as he took small confused steps around the couch still, ruffling his hair. He stopped and turned to George
"I-I.. I saw her fall" he said faintly. George was taken aback by the amount of pain he saw in his brother's eyes and turned away not being able to take it in. "I ran as fast as I could, but she fell" he repeated, in shock sinking into a chair. His eyes were burning.
"I jumped in and dragged her out." He looked at his brothers in distress as he remembered what happened. "The water was full of blood.. It was full of blood". Tears were now escaping his eyes and he rubbed them. He couldn't talk anymore. He couldn't.
His brothers were dumbfound by the amount of emotion that Ron was expressing. Fred walked to him and put an arm around him, allowing him to break down o his shoulder if he felt he needed it
"You did alright, bro" he whispered comfortingly. "You did alright" he repeated, rubbing Ron's shoulder.
Ron turned to face his brother, his tears falling freely, as he didn't bother to deal with them. He whispered "full of blood" before burying his head in his brother's shoulder
A loud 'pang' was heard, that made Ron, Fred and George jump in surprise. Charlie had just apparated with two medi-wizards, who took one look at Ginny and rushed right over to her
They removed the small bandages from her wrists, applied a thick green substance, then they took fresh bandages out and re-bandaged her wrists. Soon after their job was done they got up from Ginny's side and walked to Charlie, and handed him a bottle of transparent liquid
"When she wakes up she'll be a bit shook up and have some trouble sleeping. If she wakes up with nightmares, give her a glass of this to drink. It will help her relax and go into a dreamless sleep" he said. He then gave him a small container of the green substance that he applied on her wrists earlier
"And change her bandages every five days" he added slowly and catching the anxiety in Charlie's eyes he gave him a comforting smile "Don't worry. She'll be alright. Right now she's in a state of shock and she just needs her family to be there for her"
The second medi-wizard spotted Ron, who was tear stained and slightly shaking with cold
"Are you going to be ok, son?" he asked politely as he walked towards him. Ron nodded, bowing his head
"I'm just a bit cold" he mumbled, still shivering
The medi-wizard rummaged through his first aid bag and took out a small packet of purple pills. He cut out four and handed them to Ron
"Have these; one every four hours" the medi-wizard told him, as Ron took them. "Just in case you get a cold" he added
"Thanks" he whispered solemnly and with another 'pang' the medi-wizards disapparated
"I'm going to find mum and dad" Charlie said after a few moments of awkward silence and disapparated again
Silence filled the room once more. None of them spoke. They just looked everywhere trying to settle their eyes anywhere but on Ginny, except Ron who couldn't take his eyes of her. The twins tried to avoid his eyes so they wouldn't have to see the loss in him. Until he broke the silence
"I'm gonna go sleep" he mouthed, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. "Wake me up when in four hours so I can take the next pill" he said quietly as he swallowed one of the purple pills in his hand.
He began making his way to the staircase. He stopped at George's voice
"Do you want a glass of this?" he asked. When Ron turned to face him, he saw that he was pointing at the dreamless sleep potion. He thought about it and then nodded
"Yea sure. But just a bit" he said, looking at his brother "Ginny needs it" he added gravely
"Yea, but you've been through a lot as well bro.. You deserve it" Fred said as George handed Ron a glass of the potion
Ron mumbled his thanks and turned to walk up the stairs to his room
"Poor guy" George told his twin as Ron disappeared up the stairs
"I wish there was something we could do for them. Both of them" Fred agreed
"Maybe they just need time" George suggested gloomily. He then spotted the bloody letter that Ginny wrote and Ron dropped as he carried her inside
He picked it up
"Hey, what's this?" he held it up to read it out loud
"Dearest family, I love you deeply but I had too. It just hurts too much, I'm sorry. Ginny" he read, his voice trailed off as he looked at his twin who was dumbfound. He then glanced back at the letter.
"Oh, wait. There's a P.S. Ron congratulations on your engagement. I'm really happy for you"
It was now his turn to be dumbfound. He stared at the word engagement with his mouth slightly open. His brother gaped at him, stood up and strode to him and snatched the letter from him and read it himself.
"Engagement?" he almost shouted bewildered "Ron's engaged? With who?" he asked stupidly. His brother whacked him over the head. "Oh, yea, Hermione" he said, rubbing his sore head
"Hey, maybe that's what we could do" George said, with a sparkle in his eye "Invite Mione. Then Ron will have her to comfort him, and maybe even cheer him up a bit and take his mind off everything. And Ginny will have a woman around to hang around with and talk to" he finished turning to his brother, who smiled at the idea
"Brilliant idea, if I may say so" Fred said
"Of course you may" George smirked. "Do we owl her or do we apparate to her flat?" he asked
"Well, one should apparate and the other should stay here to watch over Ginny and Ron" Fred answered thoughtfully. George looked at him
"Thanks for offering, bro" he said clapping him on the back and disapparated before he could answer
~~~~~
A while after, Hermione was at the Burrow, sitting in the kitchen drinking tea with the twins. The twins were filling Hermione in with the latest happenings of the Burrow, including Ginny's attempted suicide and her letter
By the time the letter was mentioned, Hermione was worried and anxious, not only for Ginny but for Ron as well. When the letter came up, Hermione felt slightly embarrassed
"Why didn't you tell us? Either of you!" George demanded in mock outrage
"Well-" she began "I guess Ron was waiting for the right moment, and we kinda put it on hold, as we were too involved with the war and every thing that has been going on with-" she stopped, her voice trembling. George placed a comforting hand over hers, indicating her that she didn't have to continue, but she did. "with Harry"
The twins grew solemn. They both knew how close the three of them were and they would prefer that Harry were there with them. To celebrate with them, as best man
Now everything was changed. They knew that. Harry was gone now, Ron was depressed, Ginny was suicidal, and there was no sign of Harry coming back, let alone anytime soon
"Yea.. Sorry about that Mione I-" Fred began but was cut short by movement from the couch
Ginny was moving. They rushed over to her
A/N you know the drill (only this time go through with it)
