C-E-F-Y

Last time on The Hell I Live In!…

 "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"  A voice yelled. 

"DRACO!"  Hermione yelled running into the alley. 

"Hermione wait!"  Harry and Ginny yelled while following her. 

Harry grabbed Ginny's hand so not to lose her. 

"Hermione!"  They both yelled. 

"AAAAHHHH!!!"  Hermione's scream echoed throughout the alley. 

Harry and Ginny ran as fast as they could but stopped dead in their tracks as they came to an opening. 

Ginny covered her mouth and burried her face in Harry's shoulder. 

Now on The Hell I Live In!…

"Don't look."  Harry whispered. 

Draco and Blaise came running in from different directions after hearing Hermione's scream. 

"I told you to…"  Draco stopped talking and looked across to Hermione. 

"Oh my god…"  He said. 

"Ron…"  Hermione whispered. 

Ron turned his head to Hermione with a frown and tears running down his face as they mixed with the rain. 

Hermione swallowed hard as she talked to Ron.

"Ron come…come here…please…"  She said slowly walking forwards. 

"She's gone…"  Ron sobbed. 

Hermione sat down next to her friend and put an arm around him as he cried on her shoulder. 

As Hermione was comforting Ron Harry walked up and noticed a piece of paper in Larissa's hand…or what was left of it. 

The body was covered in blood and really the only way they could tell it was Larissa was from the patches of Slytherin robes she wore on her burnt skin. 

She seemed to have been hit with a powerful curse. 

Harry picked up the paper and another fell from it.  He picked them both up and opened the first. 

Whoever gets this message…I am long gone…the second message if for Ronald Weasley.  Noone can open it except him.  My last wish is for my parents to know that I had no choice.  I love them and I will see them one day.

                                                          Larissa Devon

"Ron."  Harry said looking at his friend. 

"What?"  He asked with tears still falling down his cheeks.

"Larissa left this for you.  You're the only one who can open it."  Harry explained handing him the note. 

Ron took it and opened the note. 

The others gave him his privacy but watched his facial expression closely. 

Ron read over the letter and his brow furrowed, he read it again and he grinned looking up at the group. 

"She's alive!"  He yelled standing and jumping up and down. 

The other's smiled. 

"Where is she?"  Harry asked. 

"What's it say?"  Hermione asked. 

Ron wiped away the last of his tears and read the note to the group. 

Dear Ron,

          I'm sorry if I hurt you in any way.  My first note is meant for my parents.  I am not really dead.  I switched clothes with an evil witch I once knew.  She killed herself and I thought of it as a get-away.  I am now on my way to Vegas as you most undoubtedly are reading this.  I hope to see you soon although I understand if you don't come.  I love you Ronald Weasley and I always will.

                                                          Larissa Devon

P.S.  Tell Hermione and Draco they are more than welcome to come! 

After Ron read the letter he grinned up at the said couple. 

They blushed but looked at one another and smiled lightly. 

Draco opened his mouth to speak but was interupted by Blaise. 

"Alright, I know I said I'd never get into your business Draco, but I have to know.  What's going on with you and her and why did Devon leave a note for Weasley?"  Blaise finally asked. 

Draco turned to Hermione. 

"Will you marry me?"  He asked in a whisper. 

Hermione smiled and nodded. 

He gave her a kiss on the lips and turned back to Blaise. 

"We're getting married."  Draco began to explain. 

"As for the note, Larissa is in love with Ron apparently."  Draco shrugged. 

"Did they put a spell on you man?"  Blaise whispered seriously. 

"No!"  Draco rolled his eyes. 

"Really…"  He sighed. 

"Just asking."  Blaise said holding up his hands in protest with a look of utter confusion across his features. 

"I love Granger."  Draco said with a smirk at the old 'nickname'.

Blaise's mouth hung open. 

"When did this happen?"  He asked somewhat confused. 

"I thought you liked Devon?"  He asked. 

"No, I like Devon."  Ron spoke up. 

"It's a long story."  Draco said. 

"We have time."  Blaise said. 

"Listen Blaise, we've been friends for a really long time and I need one last favor from you before I can tell you everything."  Draco asked seriously. 

He paused a moment to wait for Blaise's reply. 

"You know I always have your back."  Blaise said with a sigh. 

Draco smiled. 

"I need you to be the one to tell Devon's parents that she died."  Draco explained. 

"Wait, does this mean there's no wedding between me and Devon?"  Blaise asked with a smile. 

Draco nodded. 

"Remember…"  Draco began. 

"I know, I'm sad…blah blah blah."  Blaise joked. 

Draco nodded. 

"Thanks."  He said. 

"Hey, tell me how the wedding goes, it's not everyday Hogwarts biggest heart throb gets tied down."  Blaise smirked. 

Draco blushed but nodded with a 'this is true' expression on his face. 

Hermione rolled her eyes at the sight of him.

A few minutes later Blaise was on his broom flying off. 

Harry got on his broom with Ginny in back of him and flew into the air. 

"Off to Vegas!"  He yelled flying off. 

Ron jumped on his broom and took off into the air to fly ahead of Harry and Ginny. 

"You ready for this?"  Draco asked. 

Hermione nodded. 

She jumped on and they all flew off to Vegas. 

"Wait!  Who in Vegas would let a bunch of kids get married?"  Hermione asked. 

"It was your idea."  Draco pointed out. 

"It's an adventure, don't you Griffindors do anything dangerous?"  Draco asked sounding serious. 

All four turned to him as he laughed. 

"I'm kidding jeez."  He said rolling his eyes.

"Well, even if we can't get married yet we need to pick up Larissa."  Ron said happily. 

After landing in Vegas Ron turned to Hermione sheepishly. 

"Um…she never said where she'd meet us." 

Hermione rolled her eyes but smiled lightly. 

"She'll find us."  Hermione said with a laugh as she sat down on a bench. 

Draco sat by her and they only waited a matter of minutes before a voice called to the small group. 

"Hey!"  They all turned to where they thought the voice was coming from. 

Larissa walked out of an alley way with a huge grin across her face as she approached Ron. 

"You came."  She said slightly shocked but overall happy to see him.

"Of course, I'm not going to let the love of my life get away that easily."  He said giving her a hug. 

"Aww…"  Ginny and Hermione sighed. 

Draco turned to Harry. 

"Is she always like this?"  He asked in a joking manner. 

Harry although still not able to completely accept Malfoy into the group laughed lightly at Hermione's expence. 

She hit them both in the chest and rolled her eyes. 

"Well, I already checked and we can't get married here."  Larissa said with a smile. 

"We know."  Everyone said. 

"Sorry."  She said raising her eyebrows quickly.

"What am I going to do for the rest of the school year?"  Larissa asked obviously not thinking very far ahead in her plan. 

"If Dumbledore finds out that I'm still alive then he'll surely tell my parents."  Larissa said worriedly. 

"We could tutor you at night."  Ron suggested. 

"In the room of requirement."  Harry added. 

They both turned to Hermione and she opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Draco and Larissa. 

"Room of what?  Where's that?"  They both asked simultaneously. 

"It's a long story.  We'll explain everything later."  Hermione said. 

The two seemed to accept this as a response and nodded.

"Let's get back home…"  Hermione began as she got on the broom with Draco. 

"I agree.  Hey, where exactly are we going?"  Larissa asked looking at the group. 

"I'm going to go back to Malfoy Manor with Draco and I assume Mrs. Weasley will want to meet the love of Ronikins life."  Hermione teased. 

Ron's ears became red as well as his cheeks from blushing. 

"We'll stop by tomorrow if it's alright."  Hermione said. 

Ron nodded. 

"Of course.  We still have a lot of planning to do.  See you tomorrow!"  Ron called as he flew off. 

"Have fUN!"  Ginny began as a tease but ended up screaming as Harry flew off at a break neck speed. 

Hermione shook her head as Draco took off and eventually the groups split into their separate directions until another day.
