Harry and Hermione were officially going out. It had been a week since the stranger in the bar had begun to speak German and somewhere during that time Hermione had finally accepted Harry's offer. Ron hadn't seemed to mind and was maintaining his newfound maturity.

They had already gone through all the lessons and Hermione had even stated that there was no more studying to do. This statement caused the boys to a dance around the room yelling gleefully. Hermione just rolled her eyes but even she couldn't help to smile.

It was extremely dark; Hermione and Harry had fallen asleep cuddling on the couch and Ron was lying sprawled on the bed. Aberforth had left earlier to tend to his goats and they were all alone. Hermione and Harry's wands were in their back pockets and Ron's wand was lying on the floor.

The wind rustled outside and most of the village's inhabitants had long since retired for the night. The stairs creaked and the trio's door was slowly pushed open. Quickly the intruders put a spell on Harry, accidentally getting Hermione as well. The two of them disappeared from the room. One of the intruders muttered something and the room glowed with an ominous green light for the briefest of moments.

"Where's the girl?" said the other under his breath.

"I don't know! He only said to kill anybody in the room who wasn't Harry." Replied the other.

"Fine, let's go."

The two men left the room and disappeared in a black fog. It was at that moment that Aberforth returned from the farm and he merrily hummed not realizing the time. He poked his head into the trio's room and saw Ron asleep on the bed. Bounding over he went to wake Ron up. Strangely enough, no matter how much he poked the redhead, he showed no sign of life. Indeed, the Weasley boy did seem devoid of his usual snores. Aberforth listened to his breathing then froze. There was no breathing.

Ron was dead.

He then looked around the room for signs of Harry and Hermione, or signs of a battle but found none.

Quickly Aberforth raced towards the room in the bar and broke the only clean glass. In a second Dumbledore was there. He was still wearing his purple night gown and only woke up when he hit the floor.

"What's happened?"

"The boy. The Weasley boy is dead. And I can't find the others."

A dark shadow seemed to fall upon Dumbledore's face. "Where's Ron?"

"Your room, on the bed."

"Alert the Order."

Aberforth nodded and went back to breaking the glasses he had put in an underground safe. The different ones summoned different Order members. Soon he had the majority of them gathered. It was then that Dumbledore came down the staircase.

"Ronald Weasley was killed tonight. Harry and Hermione had been transported somewhere else. Does anyone know how they could of possably known the trio was here?"

Aberforth looked around guiltily. "A strange man came in a week ago, spoke German. He knew my name but didn't inquire anything about the trio."

Dumbledore looked darkly at his brother; this information could have saved Ron's life.

Sighing he took the memory out of Aberforth's brain and put it in his pensieve. The scene played out before him but he was the only order member who spoke German.

"You..." Dumbledore's voice shook. "YOU TALKED TO PARACELSUS WITHOUT ME! CHILDHOOD FRIEND OF YOURS OR NOT, YOU KNOW HE WAS A DEATH EATER! BECAUSE OF YOU AN INNOCENT BOY'S LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED TONIGHT!" The Order members were shocked. They had never seen Dumbledore so angry before. He never raised his voice.

"I didn't think of it!"

"I asked you that day if you had seen any Death Eaters and you lied to me. I am ashamed to call you my brother. As of now, I have no brother."

Author's Note: Hello all. Only a couple more chapters to go and all of your reviews hearten me, personally I am hoping to get 200 for this story total. That would be amazing. My sister licked glue and is now making disgusting noises. Please excuse me while I laugh.

Okay I'm back. I was being sarcastic when I told her to! I swear I was. I hope that some of you translated what the conversation was last chapter because it was important. You found out what it meant this chapter anyway but if you had translated it on one of those free translation sites you would of known what was going to happen.

Please don't kill me for killing Ron! I warned you when I killed Percy that he was only my first character death.

Sassy: I translated it! You said "Until we encounter each other again." Good job me! That's cool that you speak German, I hope that the conversation wasn't to off the mark. I didn't think I accepted anoyonumus reviews, odd.

You will see how the story ends very soon.

MellyV: That will show your ex-fiancee when you marry Daniel Radcliff! Stewart (I think that was his name, not sure) got me to eat broccoli, and then he left me never to return. The nerve of some fellows!

It's your favorite fanfic? Thanks so much, that means a lot to me. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and this is one of them. Don't worry though, its not like I'm leaving this site forever.

A Fred and Angelina story was one of my top choices, it could be her diary and his journal showing the same events from drastically different views. I'm thinking it would be cooler if I co-wrote it with someone but I'm not sure.

I don't like school assigned books. Two years ago we had to read Stargirl, it was a horrible experience. Real life isn't like that. I will put "Red Badge of Courage" on my avoid reading list. My sister has put "Watership Down" on there as well.

Thanks for reviewing and all the compliments, though I doubt I'm better then an actual author. Anyway I'll here from you later.

Ronkid8829: I don't speak German either(that was the language by the way) I got it off a free translation site in order to provide a hint of mystery to this story. Glad you still find the story humorous, it won't be for long. Now its heading towards the action/adventure category along with tragedy.
