Mike walked up to them and tapped Des on the shoulder. "You? You- You almost killed me!"
"Nah, that wasn't me.."
Ron stood up, confused as well.."You almost killed me too!"
"Sit. Both of you."
With that, Ron sat back down and Mike sat next to him.
"What I hate about everyone is their questions. The same thing, over and over. Why did you kill Cho, how did you kill Cho, what are you? Why did you leave.."
"What you need to realize is, I have no control over what my powers do..and I'm dying..so there is one thing that can help me and my sister survive."
Ron perked up."So you won't die?"
"Not if I get this one thing. It's a jewel, in the south of France. As random as it sounds, it holds the key to the rest of the world and life itself. Two french soldiers guard it daily. It's in the vault of a bank named 'La Euros de Americaine', which means 'The money of Americans'. "
Mike looked at her."You mean to tell me, we smuggle the jewel, bring it back, and you'll be saved along with the rest of us?"
"Yes."
"Well how the heck am I supposed to believe that this stupid jewel will do any good?"
Ron was silent. He knew she had a temper.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out her ring. The green one, that Devon had given her.
"See this? It's a ring. Devon Black gave it to me when I was 10. His father had given it to him. Or so to say, not really his father.. You know Sirius, right?"
Ron smiled."Sirius Black, the best dead uncle yet."
"Yeah him."She smiled."He was a family friend. He got Devon's mom pregnant, and gave her the ring to show that he didn't stop caring about her. He was on the run, because by that time, he was a fugitive. Well, shortly after Devon turned 7, his mom passed away, leaving him with nothing. Devon traveled everywhere to find his father, and found him in the south of France, bartering to get out of prison."
"Devon had then stuck by his father, and got him through to their home near mine. When Devon turned 10, Sirius gave him the ring, which he had given to his mom. Devon, wore it constantly but didn't know it's meaning. I, of course, was drawn to it. He gave it to me later that year."
"The jewel that you would steal for me, is much like the one I am wearing now. See, with my sister and I both being angels, and living the immortal life on earth, we'd both have to be protected in order for everything to stay the same. Let's just say, she is not. Devon doesn't know to this day what this ring does, but I know for sure that Sirius intended for me to have it. That's how fate works."
Mike smiled."Aw.. Well I guess we better go."
Ron stood up."We?"
"For old time's sake. And for Black and his family. And for this girl right here." Mike gave her a hug, the first time they had ever hugged.
Ron kissed her cheek, and then hugged her.
"Be careful." She whispered.
Des saw his lingering eyes. She knew he wanted to know how she killed Cho. It wasn't the right time yet.
"Nah, that wasn't me.."
Ron stood up, confused as well.."You almost killed me too!"
"Sit. Both of you."
With that, Ron sat back down and Mike sat next to him.
