A/N: sorry I haven't updated lately, I have been very busy... actually, no, and I have just been very lazy sorry. Well, in personal news, last Friday was my birthday! Well, I was in self-loathing on that day, and I spent the almost the whole day in my house doing nothing even though I should have started on this chapter, oh well! Please, PLEASE review! I'm starting to think that no one reads this story anymore... (Sobs)
PS: does anyone read the songs in the beginning of the chapter? I just want to know!
PSS: this chapter will be a break from the storyline; it will focus on a certain part in Ron/ Casper and Layla's relationship.
Full Summery: After being accused a murder right after the Tournament, Ron 'runs away' to America, hoping to start over anew. But three years later, his wife is struck by a curse that will end her life in one year. There is no cure for the curse, except a powerful potion. But no one knows how to brew it, well, except one. So leaving his wife at a famous wizard hospital in California, Ron and his two year-old Daughter go to England, where the only man who knows how to brew it lives. And that man is Severus Snapes, Potion Professor at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. So here are the big questions: will his family and friends accept Ron again? And will his wife's life be saved?

Why, oh why do I love you so much?
My tears overflow this much.
Back in that time, there was so much to lose that I couldn't sing anything
A place just a little ways away- that was where I was
That day deep in your eyes, I saw loneliness
Are the two of us alike?
If I'd realized it now...
Why do I love you so much?
Your voice rings inside me so much it makes me sad
Just what it was that supported me so much
From afar, I realize it now
Like a last child, crying and searching
But there was no such thing as forever
"It was okay if you don't believe in anyone" you whispered
Were the two of us really alike
And I decided then I would protect you
Why can't I turn them to memories?
You're too far, too near for me to reach
The more I tell myself "I will forget"
The larger you loom in my thoughts
Why do I love you so much?
Your voice rings (inside me) so much it makes me sad
Just what it was that supported me so much
I realize it now from afar
Why do I love you so much?
It's so easy I just can't answer

Chapter six: Myself
X o Two months later o X
Ron looked out into the grey scenery and rested his head against the coolness of the glass window. The past two months have been hard on him. Layla has been in and out of the hospital, like that morning, she had to go back and stay there for the rest of the week, Snape was coming from Hogwarts with the potion tomorrow to give it to her. But that meant that Layla might stay even longer at the hospital this time, so the doctors can check if the potion is working.
And he knew that Amory knew that her mother wouldn't be spending Christmas at home that year. The little girl was currently staying at the Glory Estate with Ron's in-laws. He slowly left his head of the glass of the window and made his way to his office to go back to work, he only had a couple of papers to sign then he would send it off to the Head of his department.
As he walked down the hall to get to his office he noticed how gloomy, and uninviting that house felt. This holiday Ron didn't bother putting up the holiday decorations. But it wasn't the lack of holiday spirit that brought the despair feeling in the small manor, it was the lack of people that Ron loved. There was none of Layla's cheerful smile and warmth, and that made the place seem cold and dark. The halls were silent; he couldn't hear Amory's innocent laughter, child like crying, or her tantrums ringing about.
Ron entered his office and went back to work. Soon, after two hours of proof reading and signing, the seventeen year-old felt tired. He leaned back into his leather chair and closed his eyes.

Memory
(A/N: in this part I will refer to Ron as 'He' or 'Him', because he is reliving it, and would be confusing both ways if I called him Ron or Casper for parts like 'He said...' and 'He felt a tug on his sleeve'. But I will only use the name Casper when necessary, like, "Casper! Over here!" She called out, see? Well, I thought that I might just make that clear... okay? Now read on!)

A fifteen year-old redhead woke up with the sun from his window beaming on his face. He turned to his right to she the nude back of his girlfriend. He smiled when he remember about the night before but quickly came to his senses that Layla had to get out of his dorm before they got caught and get in trouble with the school.
"Wake up." He said as he gently shook her. Layla began to stir and woke up. "C'mon, get your clothes on and leave before we get caught."
"Well, good morning to you too!" Layla said brightly and sarcastically. He smiled and just stuck his tongue at her. "Fine, fine." She muttered as she got out of bed to get her clothing on. As soon as she was finished she gave him a kiss before leaving. "Last night was wonderful." She whispered as the kiss ended. "It was my first time."
"Me too." He whispered back. Layla smiled at him then left his dorm to sneak back to hers.

A week later...
"Hey, have you seen Layla?" He asked that morning during breakfast.
Elaine shook her head. "Nope, she's back at the dorm puking her guts out. Probably food poisoning, she ate a bit more then usual last night." She answered her best friend's boyfriend's question. "Well, see you later, Casper. I'm going to check up on Layla."
"Can I come?" He asked, stopping Elaine before she left the Eating Room.
"No, remember? Boys can't go to into our dorms." She said with a wink before leaving the room.
That afternoon...
(A/N; if you remember, this is the same part from the last chapter)
"Casper!" Casper turned around to see Layla run towards him, when she caught up with her boyfriend she clings to his arm. "Hey, are we still going out tonight?" that day was Saturday, and there were no classes on that day. And on that day, Casper was planning on taking Layla out to the local town.
"Yeah, why?" He asked as the couple passed by a group of third years.
"Um... I have to tell you something." Layla said rather slowly.
"Is it really important that I have to wait for tonight?" He asked her. Layla nodded. "Okay then." He kissed her on the lips. "I have Quiditch practice, I'll see you tonight then, Babe." He then left and headed to field.
That night...
"Layla, is something wrong? You looked distracted during dinner." He told his girlfriend as they got back from their date at the local town nearby their school. They entered her dorm, and went to her bedroom. "Where are all your room mates? Weren't you planning on telling me something?"
"I asked them to leave so we wont get disturbed." She quickly explained. "Can you please sit?" She asked. He nodded and sat on her bed. "Um, you heard this morning that I was sick, right?" he nodded and she continued, "Well, when Elaine came back we performed this spell to find out what was wrong with me so I wouldn't go see the nurse and well... um..."
Layla's eyes began to well up with tears. He motioned her to sit right next to him, which she did. "What, what's wrong? You're not really sick right?" He asked gently as she leaned her head on his shoulder and he placed his arm around her.
"I'm..." Was all he heard and the rest was just mumbled out.
"I couldn't hear-"He began but was cut off when Layla cried out, "I'm pregnant!"
He froze. "Wha-what?" he barely whispered because he was shocked.
"I-I'm not sick! I'm carrying your kid!" She cried to him. He brought her into his arms and rocked her back and forth, still shocked about it. "What are we going to do?" she cried into his chest.
"We'll figure out something." He reassured her.
"You're not leaving me?" She asked surprised looking up at him with her tear stained face.
"Why would I ever leave you?" He asked, brushing the hair strands from her face. "Don't worry, it will be all fine."
"But I'm pregnant! We're still in school! We're not even married yet!" Her eyes widen when she realized their real situation. "Oh my god... I've committed a sin..."
He looked at her, "Marry me then."
"What?" she looked up and into his eyes.
"Marry me, become my wife, give birth to my kid."
"I don't know what to say-"
"Say yes then." He cut her off.
She smiled and flung herself at him yelling out "YES!" He fell back on her bed with her lying on top of him with her arms around his neck. "Everything will work out, wont it?" She whispered into his hear.
He grinned at her and whispered "Don't worry, we'll be fine."
