Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the ideas or characters that go with it…all I own is Marlaina, Larissa(lol.) and Carnigan.
A/N: Oh I hope you like this chapter! I added a twist so if it seems a little far fetched and the characters seem a little OOC then it's because I'm trying to make this fic last longer. Hope you don't mind too much. Anyway, R&R thanks! Loved the reviews!! Sorry this chapter isn't as long as usual…I'm trying…
C-E-F-Y
Last time on The Hell I Live In!…
"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.
Now on The Hell I Live In!…
Larissa rode next to Ron on the way back to the burrow.
She flew so close to him that halfway there she used his shoulder as a pillow. Ron kept her broom steady and smiled as they continued.
After a few hours they finally landed safely at the Weasley residence.
Mrs. Weasley even though it was late ran out the door and checked each child to make sure everyone was ok.
Her vision finally landed on Larissa and she gasped.
By now Larissa was awake and Mrs. Weasley was ushering them all inside.
"Mother I would like you to meet Larissa Devon." Ron said after everyone was inside and seated comfortably on the couch.
"But that can't be. Larissa Devon died tonight…" Mrs. Weasley began.
"Well, actually she sort of traded places with someone else." Ron explained.
"Well, then we must tell the ministry. If some young girl is dead on the street than the parents must be worried sick.
"Mum you can't." Ron begged.
"Ronald…" She began in a motherly tone.
"I'm engaged Mrs. Weasley and I can't go back. I want to marry Ron." Larissa said gesturing to Ron.
Mrs. Weasley looked at her son.
"I love her mum." Ron said.
"Ron you have to understand…you can't just go around married to a dead witch. In the end someone will find out so we should stop it here." Mrs. Weasley said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry Mum but I won't do it." Ron said sadly as he walked out of the house with Larissa in tow.
"Ron get back here!" Mrs. Weasley yelled walking out the door to see her son fly off into the night.
Harry and Ginny walked to the door as well shocked.
"Where're they going?" Ginny asked.
"Oh no." Mrs. Weasley said with tears brimming her eyes.
She quickly ran to a desk and grabbed some parchment and a pen and wrote Mr. Weasley a note.
Harry and Ginny looked at one another.
"We should call Hermione." Harry said.
Ginny nodded.
They too grabbed some parchment and quickly wrote a note sending it immediately with an owl.
"Oh he's going to get expelled for this." Hermione said sadly with a touch of anger.
"Where do you think they went?" Draco asked.
Hermione and Draco had shown up at the mansion but because it was so late they snuck in and went straight up to Draco's room.
"I don't know. The only place Ron has ever brought anyone would be the Burrow and that's where he's running from." Hermione sighed.
Just then the door burst open and in came Marlaina.
"Nice of you two to invite me to your wedding jeez." She joked.
Marlaina then noticed all the sad faces and frowned.
"What?" She asked.
"Ron's run off." Hermione said.
"Him and Devon although we're not sure why. Potter sent us a note." Draco explained handing the note to Marlaina.
She quickly read over the contents.
'Mione,
Ron and Larissa ran off after we landed at the Burrow. We're not sure where they went but we need your help. Mrs. Weasley has owled Mr. Weasley and she says he'll be home shortly. Hope to see you soon. Looks like we got ourselves a new adventure.
Harry
Hermione smiled lightly at the last part. They were always in an adventure. Hell, their whole lives had become an adventure.
She sighed as she looked up at Marlaina who had already finished reading it.
"Well, you can't go." Marlaina began.
"Why not?" Hermione asked standing up.
"You go back to Hogwarts the day after tomorrow. You can't just run off or all of you will be expelled. Besides how will I explain to Dumbledore that my brother just disappeared without having him inform the Ministry?" Marlaina asked.
Draco nodded.
Hermione looked between the two.
"I have to go. I've never let Ron or Harry down and I'm not planning to start." With that she ran out the door.
Draco got up to follow her but Marlaina stopped him.
"You can't go Draco." She practically whispered knowing her brother's temper.
Draco glared at her as she expected.
"What are you mad?" He asked shoving by her.
By the time he made it down stairs and out the front door Hermione had already taken off on his broom stick.
"Do you think she'll come?" Ginny sat on the couch talking to Harry while her mother talked to her father in the kitchen.
By now the whole Weasley household was up. It was nearing eight o'clock and Mrs. Weasley was busying herself with breakfast trying not to worry.
"I think she'll come." Harry said with confidence.
"You never know…I mean, she is with Malfoy now…" Ginny practically whispered.
"Hermione wouldn't abandon her friends after only a few months with Malfoy. I trust her. She'll be here." Harry said with a little less confidence and more worry than before.
Fred and George suddenly walked into the living room.
"What's going on? Mum's in a bit of hysterics so we didn't bother ask her." One of the twins asked.
"Ron ran away." Ginny said sadly.
"Ran away? RON?" Fred looked to George and laughed.
"I didn't even know he had it in him." He laughed trying to brighten the mood.
"How come?" George asked seriously.
"It's a long story." Ginny said.
Harry nodded until Ginny began to explain.
He gave her a questioning look and then just sat back to hear the tale once more.
"Who would of thought, little Ronikins is in love." George said flabbergasted.
"He's growing up too fast." Fred said seriously with a frown.
Ginny gave her brother's an odd look but it was Harry who spoke up.
"Don't tell me you two are getting soft now?" He asked the twins.
Both boys looked at him with a hurt expression.
"Of course not!" They both exclaimed.
"Well, where would Ron go?" George asked.
"The Burrow of course…but other than that I haven't a clue." Ginny sighed.
"This is bad. Wait until he gets home. Mum'll kill him." Fred said seriously.
"I just hope he's alright." Ginny said finally.
"You know Ron. He'll be in tons of trouble…hope that girl what'd you say her name was again?" Fred asked.
"Larissa Devon." Harry answered.
"Devon…why does that name sound familiar?" Fred thought while tapping his chin with his index finger.
"You know Devon. Clara Devon from our year." George said jogging Fred's memory.
"Oh right. She was a cute one." Fred said with a nod.
"Ron likes her sister?" George asked.
"Apparently…although she never mentioned having a sister.
"Well, they aren't exactly close." George said.
"They? You mean as in more than one?" Harry asked.
"Oh yea…I think there are four of them all together." Fred explained.
He would have continued but Mrs. Weasley called for them to eat breakfast.
Both boys went running.
"Hm…maybe we should ask her sisters for help." Harry thought.
"You heard Fred and George, they don't get along. Maybe Larissa wants them to think she's dead." Ginny pointed out.
"I think we should at least visit. We don't have to tell them she's alive unless we have to. It'll help find Ron. Maybe they went to a place where Larissa feels safe? They might know." Harry said as he thought aloud.
Ginny thought a moment and finally gave in with a nod.
"I'll tell mum and we'll be off." Ginny said going into the next room.
"Wait…" Harry began.
Ginny turned around.
"Let's eat breakfast first." Harry said sheepishly.
Ginny grinned but nodded.
