The Reunion
Chapter 10: A Dreadful Surprise
Medha Gupta
Ron woke up and looked right beside him, Cho was gone! He instantly did what he did best around Cho, Panic. He ran around screaming for her looking under tables, books, etc. He looked for her under the pillow, and then when he put the pillow down, a note slid into his hands. The note read:
Hey Ronnie,
Don't run around looking for me, I just flooed over to the house to get some drawings for a customer. I think that I'll be back soon, like in 2 or 3 hours. Just clean up the room after the mess you made looking for me (HONESTLY WOULD I BE UNDER A BOOK??!!) (Ron rolled his eyes). Don't you roll your eyes at me! (He stared at the paper completely horrified) You are SO predictable. Ok clean up and I'll be back soon.
Love
Cho
Ron laughed and looked at the note one more time and then muttered a spell to make it fold up really small, and he threw it away. He cleaned the room which was no easy task for him. 2 hours later, when he was done, he picked up the daily prophet, and started reading. The headline surprised him:
Percy Weasley Running for Minister of Magic:
LONDON: We have just received information that Percival Ignatius Weasley is running for Minister of Magic against current long time running Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge. "I will do all that I can, and I will be more tolerant." He is saying that if he is elected then he will have a program that allows poor kids to be pre-educated before they go to Hogwarts.
Ron threw the paper away in disgust and then he saw his dad's head in the fire.
"Ron, come down to the St. Mungos right now!"
"What happened dad?"
"Nothing, JUST COME!" And the head disappeared. Ron concentrated on where he was going and then he apparated over to the lobby. He went over to the receptionist desk and asked for the Weasleys, and the person said to wait at the Coffee Shop. He went upstairs and saw Lockhart going down the stairs, His once blonde hair was lank, and his eyes looked sad.
"Professor Lockhart?"
"Who are you again? I remember you, but I can't remember your name, was it Don?"
"No." Ron said. "It's Ron."
"Oh, I see."
"How much do you remember?" Ron asked
"Well, all I remember is pointing a wand at you, yelling a memory charm, and then the wand backfired, and I blacked out." Lockhart said, He looked at Ron, thought for a while and then asked. "You look so much older, how long has it been 3, 4 years?"
"15"
"Oh, so nobody really remembers me." He walked down feeling dejected. Ron looked at his retreating back and felt sorry for the man, he went upstairs, and his dad was waiting for him.
"Hi Dad!" Ron said happily
"Hey Ron, thought you couldn't make it, lets go!"
"Where are we going?"
"C'mon!" Ron followed his dad over to the room. He saw Ginny sitting up, moving her arms! He was shocked, speechless, struck dumb! His baby sister was going to be CURED! Ron almost thought that he would pass out, and he almost did, but then Ginny spoke up.
"Ron, stop staring at me! I get all nervous, so just STOP!"
"Sorry Gin, I just can't believe you are ok, besides, where'd you get the money to come here?" Ron asked, Molly decided to answer.
"Well, Percy said that he had an encounter with you..."
"PERCY? What's that git got to do with this?"
"Ron." Ginny said, "He paid for my room and research here, he really is sorry."
"Forgive him." Arthur said.
"NEVER, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM! He deserted us 13 years ago, He should've been there for us but, He wasn't!" Ron went outside, and disapparated leaving a very sad family behind.
Ron apparated into the Ministry of Magic, he wanted to have a word with Percy. He ran up to the elevators, pressed down and went to the first floor. He went to Percy's office and told the receptionist that he needed to see his brother, FAST! The receptionist let him in, and he saw Percy reclining, and dictating to a magic quill which was writing down what he was saying. He looked up and saw Ron. "Ah, Ron" He stopped the quill and took off his horn-rimmed glasses and said, "Ron, glad to see you. Do you want to sit down?" Ron simply glared and took a seat. There was an uneasy silence and then Percy asked, "What do you want?"
"Listen, I don't care what you have done to my mum and dad, but I will never forgive you!" He screamed.
"Look Ron, my baby sister was sick, do you just expect me to sit and watch my family suffer?"
"Well you did for 12 years." Ron yelled back at Percy.
"I know that I shouldn't have done what I did, and I apologize about it, but can you please forgive a man's mistake? Please, this is all I want from you."
"You're right, you shouldn't have. You really hurt us, you left calling us poor, and you made mum and dad go through a lot of pain, just by leaving us." Ron said
"But, I'm trying to change."
"No, you will NEVER change; you expect everything on a silver platter! Well you know what? I'm not going to give you anything!" He stomped right out of the office and he apparated to his room. When Ron got to his room, he knew something was wrong. The glass was shattered, the tables and the bed was broken, and the blood was EVERYWHERE. Ron looked for Cho, and he found her, she had been thrown back to the wall, her legs were broken, by the look of it. She opened her eyes, Ron kneeled beside her crying. "Ron." She began painstakingly, "I won't live much...longer.."
"No, Cho, don't die, I don't want to lose you too!"
"Sorry, I can't help...it" She gasped.
"I'll take you to St. Mungos! You'll be fine." He said crying harder.
"No...I don't want to...I'm afraid...we haven't...been...honest...with each...other..."
"What do you mean?" He asked wiping the new tears.
"I've...never...really...loved...you."
"What?"
"And...you've...never...really...loved...me."
"I love you very much."
"No...you...love Her-Her-Hermione. And I love Cedric. I'll finally be...with him Ron, I'm so sorry." She said looking at his hurt face. "I just needed...to be honest with you. I...know...you...love...Hermione"
"Fine, I do really like her, but I don't want to lose you."
"Sorry....darling, I...care...about...you...just...not love."
"Same here but, please don't die." He sobbed holding onto her hand.
"Promise...me something."
"Anything."
"Please...get...together...with...Hermione...you...have...my...blessing." Ron simply nodded, she closed her eyes one last time, took a deep breath and her soul left her body. Ron cried really hard and he held her hand. Two brothers looked up at the sky and asked, "Why me?"
A/N: Sorry it was so short; I just wanted to get this out! Review
