Disclaimer: "..." Erm...can't think of anything witty or cool so just read last chapters poem. Now that was a wicked disclaimer if I ever did see one!
You guys are fabulous! I can't believe I'm almost at 400 reviews. Thanks to all of you, reviewers, who pushed the button and reviewed your hearts out! I love youuu! So anyways, how's Christmas break going down for all of you? Mine is rather dull at the moment. Just on the computer most of the time, reading fanfics, or updating my cp. Psst...do any of you have a cp? Anywhoo...I've watched one too many Christmas Specials, espcially A Christmas Carol themed, Flintstones, Alvin and the Chipmunks and even Cartoon Classics. That story's been juiced way too much. And I've heard the song Only Wish (This Year) by Britney Spears too much! ((sigh)) I hope your holidays are spent more productively. Perhaps with family? Friends? My fanfic? LOL. Hopefully not the last one.

And nnnooowww I just want to celebrate the fact that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is finished and will be out July 16th 2005. It's the perfect Christmas gift for all Harry Potter fans, I'm sure. I can't wait to get it in my greedy little hands ((smirks)). It even has me singing...
Santa can you hear me? I have been so good this year. And all I want is one thing. Tell me Harry Potter is near. He's all I want, just for me. Underneath my Christmas tree. I'll be waiting here. Santa that's my only wish this year.
And who would've thought I could use Britney Spears for good? LOL. Anywhooo to the story!
Ron bought some coffee from the Three Broomsticks to keep him awake and sober. ((Leaves story for two minutes to go to for a little stroll around the house to get stupid Britney Spears song out of head. Returns. To horror discovers song is still in head. Desperately searches internet for it to sooth the insistent urge to listen to .To horror listening urge only !)) He gulped the bitter drink down in one string. He blinked blankly at the sudden rush of sleep leaving him. He knew it wasn't the healthiest thing to be roaming around the Wizarding World at three in the morning but he was desperately trying to find Luna, Ginny, Hermione, anybody! After the now infamous punch he'd socked Harry with he'd rushed off to catch up with Luna and Ginny. They, however, were long gone. He'd searched for them all throughout Diagon Alley and it was all to no prevail. Afterwards rather pouty and angry he'd returned to Night Black only to find everyone had left there too! Now he had positively no clue where anyone was. He'd checked Luna's flat, Hogsmeade, The Burrow, most of Diagon Alley and side alleys and yet there was no sign of them. Ron suspected the Weasleys were likely to be at St. Mungo's with Harry since he needed to get his jaw healed. He didn't dare go there for obivous reasons.
"Ron, dear, you know I appreciate the business but I have to close down now," Madame Rosemerta said tenderly, "I've already been open way past hours."
"Yeah, yeah I suppose I'll go now," Ron mumbled heading out the door. He might as well throw in the shovel for tonight. He was barely out the door before he apparated to his own flat. It was I-can-barely-see-my-hand-in-front-me-dark as a lonely flat should be. But it certainly wasn't quiet like a lonely flat. Ron could hear a distinct choking sound. Well not so much choking as sobbing. He heard a hardly audible voice speaking in a soothing voice.
Ron's ears got quite red. Here he was searching half the country for those two and they were here in his flat all along!
He flicked on a light, revealing them to be in his living room. Luna was on the floor, resting her head on his couch. Ginny was beside her, stroking her arm comfortingly. They both looked horribly tired. There were bags under their eyes or no-wait-perhaps it was just smudged eyeliner? Ron couldn't tell.
Ginny glanced at him but said nothing. She gave him a weak smile at his appearance. Luna, however, did not acknowledge his appearance. Instead she bit her lip and stared solidly at the velvety fabric of the couch.
Ron motioned Ginny to shift a little so he could squeeze in close enough to Luna for her to hear him. Somehow he felt if he spoke to her from a distance farther than a meter she wouldn't hear him.
"Hi, Luna," Ron greeted in a voice so soft it surprised even him, "Erm-how're you holding up?-Ginny gave him a disgusted look-I mean-um-do y'need anything?"
A dragged out silence followed. Ron and Ginny glanced back and forth in anticipation. He expected her to say no or just not to reply at all but reply she did.
"I-she took in a deep, shaky breath-I suppose a nice cup of tea would do some good to the excruciating headache I'm having," Luna said in a stronger, more louder, voice than Ron and Ginny thought her capable of at a time like this.
"I'll go make a cup," Ginny suggested getting up and heading off to the kitchen.
Ron was left alone to make conversation with Luna. He stared at his nails and pretended to be cleaning them out. What do you say to a person in this kind of situation? Should he make a joke? Or did she want to talk about serious things, like Harry? And if so, who would bring the topic up? Him or her?
"Did you hurt your hand?" Luna asked, straightening up a bit and looking at him.
"Wha-? Oh no, no. Actually I think I might've hurt Harry," Ron replied speaking his name aloud.
Luna's eyes widened slightly and then she started laughing, "I don't think he deserved that but it's nice to know he might if crying a bit right now, if that's not to harsh to say."
" 'Course not!" Ron trumpeted smiling, "I just wish Becky was a bloke, then I would've given her a piece of my mind or fist."
"If Becky was a man, I'd have even more relationship problems," Luna said thoughtfully.
"Yeah I guess so. But, but you are feeling better a bit, aren't you?" Ron inquired, cocking his head slightly.
"Good as I can feel right now. Actually I'd rather not speak of it. Or think of it. What happens will happen," Luna rambled, "And maybe Harry and I aren't Soul Mates.-her eyes watered-Soul Mates don't break other Soul Mates' hearts."
Ron tried to remember back to that day he had been in the Destiny Chamber, the Soul Mate Area in particular. He desperately tried to remember what color Luna and Harry's vials had been. Hmm...he remembered seeing their names on vials but of what color he wasn't sure.
"But you are Soul Mates" Ron blurted out, losing control of his tongue. He didn't have any clue if they were or not. "The vials never lie."
Luna smiled slightly, "Are you sure?"
"Definitely," Ron answered. He didn't get it. Why was he defending Harry?
Luna fell into thought once more just as Ginny came out of the kitchen with three streaming cups of tea. They were all just comfortably sitting and sipping their tea when someone appeared in Ron's fireplace. Hermione.
She stepped out gracefully and brushed the soot off her robes, "You really ought to clean that fireplace once in a while Ron."
Ron shrugged, " 'bout time you got here."
"I was at the hospital with your family. And if any of you are curious, Harry is alright and will be out of the hospital tomorrow morning," Hermione clarified.
"That's nice but none of us care!" Ron exclaimed, he didn't want to hear of Harry's wellfare.
"I care," Luna piped up. Hermione smiled smugly.
"There you go, Ronald," Hermione smirked, "Anyways, Luna, how are you feeling?"
Ron was shocked at how she could go from smirking to looking concerned about her friend.
"A lot better. Ron and Ginny have been wonderful," Luna responded gently. She almost looked concerned for Hermione because she was so concerned for her. Ron shook his head in bewilderment.
"That's great. But Luna, we must talk. I have so much to tell you. What we saw isn't what we think we saw," Hermione explained, "Harry, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie even Percy gave me their recount of what really happened."
Luna's face brightened considerably, "Really?"
Ron felt the heat flood to his face, "Oh, really and what crackpot response did they give you?"
Hermione's face blanched but she quickly recovered, "It is not a crackpot response, Ron. It's just as true as any recount you'd have to give."
"Well then, tell me why that bitch-he cringed as rings of "Ron!" rang throughout the room at his foul language-well she is! It doesn't matter either way because why was Becky acting as if she and Harry had met before?" Ron demanded.
"Well, because they had, of course!" Hermione cried in frustration.
"Aha!" Ron shouted, "Check mate!"
"Don't be stupid Ron, you don't have anything to 'Aha' over! Harry explained everything very truthfully and if you want to be irrational, as always, we can drug him with Veritaserum and see if that works!" Hermione said her voice rising also.
"What? Irrational is the last word anybody would use to describe me!" Ron exclaimed, "Why do you always poke and prod insults at me?"
"I don't!" Hermione mustered.
"Excuse me!" Ginny cut through, "I thought this was about Harry and Luna not you two!"
Ron and Hermione turned up their noses and turned away, arms crossed.
"Hermione...," Ginny started, "Please, tell us your explaination."
"Only if Ron promises not to interrupt," Hermione replied.
"Ron?" Ginny implored turning towards him.
"Agreed. I'll hear this without saying a thing just so I can hear the whole story and have a good laugh at how well everybody can lie!" Ron retorted.
"Ron..." Ginny said in a warning tone.
"Ok, fine, I'll be good," Ron muttered.
Ginny smiled and turned to Hermione to begin the explaination.
"Well, I've been told that when Becky left our Bachelorette Party she went straight to Night Black. She fought off guards and Ron let her in-
"I thought she was Luna!" Ron said in his defence.
"Ron! No talking!" Ginny scolded.
Ron silenced himself and Hermione continued, "Anyways, she argued with Ron until catching the attention of not only Harry but everyone else. Harry admitted that instead of asking her to leave he asked her what she was doing at the party. Becky responded by saying she wanted to tell him she loved him. Then Harry said Why didn't you tell me before? Which, I'm sure sounded suspicous to most. Especially Ron. I mean when I first heard I thought, before where? Harry continued to explain she had been friends with him quite some time now. This was easy for her since she knew where he lived through Weasley connections and she had a temporary position at the Ministry where Harry, himself, works. He says that he didn't suspect her of loving him and he hung out with her a lot at the Ministry since she was new and had few other friends. But slowly he drew away from her which is when she started contacting him outside of work. He suspected she might have romantic feelings for him but love was still out of the question. He says he never loved her and when she told him, she loved him he rejected her, didn't he Ron?"
"Yes" Ron responded ruefully. He had rejected her. And Ron found himself suddenly feeling a twinge of guilt for punching Harry and for accusing him of infidelity all this time.
"After he rejected her, what was it?, twice I believe, she kissed him. He pulled away and that's when we walked in," Hermione finished. She looked expectantly at Luna.
"It makes...sense," Luna murmured.
"Yeah, it does," Ginny ended giggling, "Thank god! We avoided a major problem!"
"Take me-take me to St. Mungo's," Luna said standing up, "I want to see him."
"But, Luna it's after hours," Hermione tried to explain.
"Your point?" Luna questioned before stepping into the fireplace and flooing off. Ginny pursued her. Ron hesitated.
"Coming, Ron?" Hermione asked him gently.
"I don't think so," Ron smiled sourly, "Harry probably hates me right now."
Hermione laughed, "No, actually. He thinks you hate him right now."
"I did until about a second ago when I realized I was the hugest git in the world for doubting his integrity," Ron sighed rubbing his eyes.
"Well I think Harry would be pleased to see you and know that you don't think he's a git," Hermione said kindly.
Ron grinned, "Yeah. I just wish I hadn't punched him. But why is it that I always have to act before I think?"
"I think it's annoying at times but at others it's rather endearing," Hermione commented quaintly.
"You do?" Ron asked, dumbfounded.
"Why yes," Hermione nodded and smiled.
"Wow, perhaps I should start punching all my best mates. Then I'll get to hear you call me endearing some more," Ron joked, teasingly.
Hermione grinned in turn, "I think you possess many endearing traits."
"Same to you," Ron responded, surprised.
"Thanks," Hermione finished. The two smiled at each other for a bit before falling silent.
"Well, I suppose we should get to the hospital?" Hermione suggested earnestly.
"Right," Ron said and then bowed and offered her his hand, "If you please, Miss Granger."
"Oh, really!" Hermione said, waving a hand and she blushed lightly, "The pleasure's all mine."
Ron and Hermione passed through the sea of Weasleys and managed to stare through the glass window which looked into Harry's hospital room. Mrs. Weasley had given Ron the biggest scolding of his life for laying a hand on Harry and that if he ever used violence on another family member or friend again she would scallop him with her large, red, hand bag. She was also upset that he arrived so late to see Harry.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Charlie questioned, gesturing across the glass to Harry and Luna. Harry was sitting up in his bed and Luna was sitting on the edge. They seemed to be talking about something agreeable because they were both smiling and Luna was even patting his hand, comfortingly.
"How much they love each other?" Ginny offered dreamily.
"Are you talking about them or a girly fantasy of yours?" Fred implored with a slopy grin.
"Shut up!" Ginny snapped.
"Ginerva Weasley! You will not sniper rudely!" Mrs. Weasley tutted.
"Hermione, is that a Muggle book in your bag?" Mr. Weasley inquired suddenly with interest. He had only just noticed it.
"Yes, Mr. Weasley. Would you care to borrow it?" Hermione answered with a questioned.
"Do you even have to ask?" George muttered, grabbing the book from Hermione and thrusting it into his father's arms.
"Ouch! George, you poked my eye!" Percy exclaimed.
"Oh, sorry, Percykins," George replied, reaching his hand out to help but poking his eye again in the process.
"That was on purpose!" Percy cried holding his hand over his eye, protectively.
"However did you guess?" George asked innocently.
"Enough!" Mrs. Weasley said silencing them all.
Luna looked out of the window of the hospital room and noticed Ron. She gestured for him to come in with such enthusiasm that Ron couldn't ignore it. He sullenly headed in with his head hung. He would have to face Harry eventually. Harry looked at him while he entered almost intently. Luna skipped over towards him and pulled him by the wrist over Harry's bed. She ushered him to sit down beside him and then, she left the room!
Ron stared after her, mouth slightly open.
"Three guesses what she wants us to do," Harry joked. He looked like it hurt him to talk since there was a bandage wrapped around his chin.
"Let me see, make up and become best mates again?" Ron replied. Harry smiled. Well as much as he could smile. It was more like twitching the corners of his mouth up a bit.
"So, how are you?" Ron asked seriously.
"Not bad. The healers said I'll be perfect tomorrow morning. Just a bit smashed up. That's a good punch, you've got there" Harry teased.
"Yeah, I just used it on the wrong person," Ron sighed, "Listen, mate, I'm going to get down to it. I'm sorry."
"Well if we're apologizing then I'm sorry for not telling you about what was going on. I just thought you'd jump to conclusions and think I was cheating on Luna. But as it turned out you jumped to that conclusion without me saying a thing," Harry said bitterly.
"I never should've doubted you," Ron apologized.
"It doesn't matter. Best mates?" Harry implored.
"As usual," Ron responded, "So what did Luna say?"
Harry's voice got a bit hazy and dull, "She says she forgives me. She still loves me. She's still going to marry me."
"Why the glum tones?" Ron asked, "Everything's right once again."
"I just feel guilty. Like I ought to make it up to her," Harry explained, "But I don't know how."
Ron fell into thought. Something romantic ought to do. Something sweet and extra special. Yet not extravagant special. Luna wouldn't like that. No, it needed to be something sweet and simple and just.
"How about you right her a song?" Ron suggested.
"A song?" Harry questioned with arched eyebrows.
"Yeah, a love song," Ron continued, "And then you could sing it to her and tell her how much you love her and all that load of dung."
"You know I don't sing," Harry replied.
"That doesn't mean you can't. I've heard you a fair few times and you're tolerable. Pretty nice actually for the average wizard," Ron said thoughtfully.
"Better than you at least" Harry said.
"Hey! I'm trying to help you and all you can do is insult me?" Ron joked.
"Ok, ok. But I don't want to sing. Luna knows I hate singing," Harry responded.
"That's the best part," Ron went on, "She knows you hate it but you still did it, out of love for her. Isn't that the impression you want to give?"
"Yeah...yeah, ok. I'll go along with it. But how am I supposed to write a song?" Harry said incredulously.
Ron got pensieve. He reached into his pocket to retrieve a quill and parchment. He looked out a ragged one that had already been written on. It was the 'I only want to be with you' song. He looked from the parchment to Harry's desperate face.
"Use this," Ron said handing it over to him, "It's-erm-a song that I-he couldn't very well say where he got it from and cover up for Dumbledore-wrote it. Yeah, I wrote it in my free time."
Harry looked doubtful, "You write song lyrics?"
"Duh" Ron replied, "Read it. It's some good stuff."
Harry's eyes darted across the page. After reading it he looked up at Ron as if seeing him in a whole new light.
"This is...bloody fabulous, mate! And you're sure you wrote it?" Harry inquired.
"Are you doubting me?" Ron questioned trying to appear offended.
"No, it's just that I heard something like this before once. When I lived with the Dursleys. Kind of like a Muggle song," Harry explained.
"Damn Muggles always stealing our pieces of art!" Ron grumbled.
"Perhaps it wasn't the same song. So you sure I can use your stuff to serenade Luna?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, yeah. I've got plently more where that came from," Ron lied flatly.
"Luna," Harry said gently, grabbing hold of her hand to stop her, "I have something to-give you."
Ron smiled, here it came. They had all just arrived in the Burrow and were yet to leave the front foyer.
"I wrote a song and I wanted to know if you wanted to hear it," Harry asked nervously. Luna's eyes bulged and she nodded, smiling. Hermione looked to Ron, questioningly.
"I don't know what it is that makes me love you so. I only know I never want to let you go. Cause you started something. Oh can't you see. Ever since we met you've had a hold on me. Its crazy but its true. I only want to be with you," Harry started softly and slowly grew louder.
Hermione raised her eyebrows and looked at Ron in amusement. She mouthed the words, "Wrote it himself, eh?"
Ron mouthed back, "Shut up!"
"Its crazy but its true. I only want to be with you!" Harry sang wrapping up the song. He looked utterly embarassed but when Luna leaped into him hugging him and crying, happily slightly, he couldn't help but be happy, himself. From behind Luna's back he gave Ron the thumbs up.
He pulled away from her just in time to say, "And I'm declined going to France. I want to stay here with you so that we can plan the final details of our wedding together."
"That's how love should be," Hermione sighed, shifting beside Ron. He agreed.
"That was nice of you, you know. Getting Harry and Luna through the final steps of their problem with a stolen song," Hermione commented, "I'm proud of you."
"Thanks, Herms," Ron responded.
She looked at him darkly but then smiled softly, "I'm going to let that go this time since you've done a good deed. I wish you would practice doing good deeds more."
"Yeah, well, good deeds suck sometimes. You never get any rewards," Ron replied, grinning. Hermione faced him then leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Ron's ears burned up.
"I hope that encourages you to do more good deeds," Hermione whispered before trailing off just as Luna came and joined him.
"Nice kiss," she said simply.
"Er, thanks," Ron muttered, placing a hand to the holy cheek that had been kissed three times by Hermione now.
"I also wanted to thank you for bringing me and Harry together again," Luna went on, "If it hadn't been for you mentioning we were Soul Mates, I wouldn't have been as cooperative to work things out."
"Your welcome..." Ron murmured suddenly very thoughtful. He hadn't even been sure when he'd said that. It made him feel guilty that perhaps he had brought together two of the wrong people. What if the Becky incident was to split to wrong people apart so that they could meet their actual Soul Mates. As he thought of this he barely noticed Luna giving him another kiss on the cheek before skipping off.
Ron closed the door of the Ancient Astrology Room with the creepy centaur and entered the Soul Mate Area. The vials were all stacked neatly and Ron stepped towards them gingerly. It was a typical day at work except for the fact that today at lunch instead of eating with Harry, he'd decided to spend his free time in the Soul Mate Area, discovering if Harry and Luna were Soul Mates or if he had led them on in false pretences. It was the first time he'd been in the Soul Mate Area since he'd had to reorganize the various viles.
"Hmm...Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood, where are you?" Ron pondered as he trailed through the various vials. Suddenly he caught site of a silver vile with the most perculiar name on it. Ron Weasley. He was a silver now? But silver meant soul's other half had arrived and they two were intermingled. Who was he intermingled with? How had he gone from no soul-mate-gray to you're-almost-there-silver? He noticed another vile three stacks down from it. Hermione's vial was a silverish gray which meant she was stuck between two of the stages. Beside hers was Seamus' which was still just as gray as ever. Could this be a sign.
He was rather interested to know. In his state of thought and stupor and he knocked over two golden viles.
"Oh bloody hell!" Ron groaned and kneeled down to pick them up. It was lucky they hadn't broken or anything. Then he'd be in real trouble. However his grimace quickly faded when he noticed the two names on the vials.
Harry Potter and Luna Lovegood.
Author's Note: An interesting and pretty long chapter. Thank god we got all the problems patched up for now. But more problems are to come.
