Chapter 63 ~ Misgivings
"Ron, I don't think that this is such a good idea," Ginny said looking at him. He stared at her.
"And why not?" he asked sourly. She shrugged.
"I mean, what if Malfoy hurts you?" she asked. He rolled his eyes.
"Do you really think that he could hurt me? Is that how much faith you have in your brother?" he asked. Ginny rolled her eyes.
"This has nothing to do with it ok? You could get into serious trouble for this!" she said. Ron sighed.
"I know," he said staring off into space.
"Ron?" she said uncertainly. He shook his head.
"What have I become, Ginny?" he asked her. She looked away.
"A monster…" she said softly. He nodded.
"I've become a monster, a woman has turned me into a monster," he said. She got up and touched his shoulder.
"There's still time, Ron, you don't have to do this," she said. He shook his head.
"I can't just turn back, I've come this far…" he said. She went back to the couch.
"Please don't do this Ron, please…" she said. He looked at her and smiled.
"I think…I think that…I don't know…" he said. She stared at him as he left the common room. She shook her head. What the hell had happened to him? She grabbed her wand and she left the common room, following Ron to see where he was going.
When she exited the portrait someone poked her in her back. She turned around and saw Harry. He put his finger in front of his lips telling her to be quiet and he pulled her away.
"What are you doing?" she whispered.
"I was following Ron," he whispered back.
"Me too!" she said. He nodded.
"Now come on, you were going the wrong way," he said. She nodded and followed Harry.

Hermione blinked and looked into the flames again. The mask was gone. She let out a long breath and she paled. Something was wrong. She closed her eyes and she opened them slowly. The mask wasn't there. Dumbledore, she needed to see Dumbledore. She went to her bedchamber and grabbed her cloak and her wand.

Ron walked down the chilly corridors and he had a grim expression on his face. Ginny's words were riveting in his head and he had honestly begun to reconsider the duel. What if he was hurt? What if he hurt Malfoy? What would happen then? He sighed and clutched his wand tightly. Was he doing the right thing?

A/N: This is REALLY short. But I haven't written for a while so this is just to get me back into the groove. Please excuse this dumb chapter. I'm going to start working on the next two chapters now! Aren't you proud of me! Hopefully by the end of this week it will be up. I will make it my duty.
