Definition of a hero
Three weeks ago, the life of thousands in the wizarding world was endagered.
Three weeks ago, the hero of the wizarding world had left his home and his future in this world.
Three weeks ago that one hero broke the heart of Ginny Weasley.
Today was a Monday – hot, sunny, everything a normal day in July should be.
But not to Ginny. Ever since Harry left the scene of the wedding, her world was cold, cloudy and perfect for December, not July.
Here she was sitting at her desk in the middle of her room, rereading the letter from Harry for the thousands time.
He loved her, he would miss her, she was his one and only love etc.
But why was he not here?
Ginny was devastated by this situation and her family, too. Her mother was crying despite her joy of having another daughter, even if it was just a daughter in law.
Fleur and Bill would return today, and then, only then, they would be told.
At the day of the wedding Ron was having the time of his life. He was happy for his brother and everything, but even more happy because Hermione had agreed to be his date at the wedding. While dancing togethrt with her and even celebrating he really forgot his best friend.
But after all the commotion of the day was over, he started looking for him, expecting him to be somewehere out of the lime light because of his new status as "The Chosen One".
Harry hated his new title and everything connected with more fame.
Ron could understand this now.
Seeing his friend everyday on the FrontPage in various magazines was annoying. After an week of constant teasing he was tired of the new, unexpected facts that came about Harry everyday with the newspaper.
He had a girlfirend, sorry, 10 at once. He was the heir of all Founders of Hogwarts and a mage, because he had all this enourmos power. Then one day he was a vampire, or some other king of animal because he had this unreal green eyes.
Ron accepted after one of Harry famous outburst that he didn't want to know what kind of lies the newspaper printed everyday about him, and so Ron stopped his teasings.
So at the eve of the wedding he searched the Burrow and its surroundings eager to tell Harry his success with Hermione and to hear what Harry had done that day.
But even after an hour of searching Ron did not find Harry and became worried.
He tried a location hex Hermione had shwon him, but it only pointet skywards.
Being unsuccessful Ron had to tell his parents eventually and they searched, too.
Being tired Ron climbed to his room to change into more comfortable clothing and in this moment he had found the letter from Harry.
Now he knew where his friend was.
Off to train him to defeat the most dangerous wizard alive and he was alone, anyhow so they thought.
But after trying to notify Remus Lupin about the whereabouts of his honorable godson, Arthur Weasley noticed, that Remus was gone – on exact the same day as Harry.
That news were reassuring to most people in the Order, but not to Ron. They were together and Harry had his father figure there, ready to protect him.
Alarming for Ron and Harry's other friends was the lack of notice, when and if Harry and Remus would come back anytime soon.
"Ron – Ronaly Weasley, come down this instant. Your brother is back." The voice of Molly sounded though the Burrow.
"Comin' Mum!" Ron called and moved away from his deep thoughts about Harry.
He walked down the stairs to see his oldest brother and his sister in law standing in the middle of the kitchen and greeting everyone with a warm smile.
Three weeks in the warm Caribbean sun had tanned them both nicely.
"Hey there, Bill, Fleur."
"Hey little brother. How are you?"
"I am fine."
"I know about Harry, Ron. Dad has told be some minutes ago."
"Okay, I am not fine. I am worried about him and I am anxious because I don't now when he will come back!" Ron backed away, embarrassed at his emotional oubourt in front of his family. But a small hand stopped him.
"Ron, don't go. We understand you, please stay. Bill and I have a present for you."
Ron looked down in the lovely face of Fleur.
"Thank you. But I want to be alone." Said this, Ron left outside.
"Okay, now tell me everything you know Mum. This is not my brother. This is a kind of Zombie." Bill looked expectantly at his mother.
"Wiou, Molly. Please tell us about the whereabouts of Harry."
Molly sighed deeply, this was going to be complicated. The young couple cared both deeply for Harry.
"Please sit down. This is going to take a while."
And Molly told them everything she knew and even their suspicions that Remus was with him on this plan.
"What about Rons behaviour?" "He is worried and Hermione had to leave a week ago to be with her parents. They wanted one last time with her daughter before she is off to school again and next year to work."
"Understandable."
"Hermione and Ron grew very close over Harry's departure. They are together now. And naturally Ron is unhappy that both his best friend and his girlfriena are not here. But with Harry. He reproaches himself, because he thinks that he is to blame for his journey.
If he had not ignored Harry, perhaps he would have stayed and so on.
It is impossible to reason with Ron at this moment."
"Okay, perhaps I can speak reason into him."
Molly smiled fondly at her son.
"By the way. What is about Ginny?"
"Ginny is not herselt, too. She sits in her room and reads Harry's letter non stop. When she is not up there, she is outside in the garden and daydreaming.
We don't speak much with her, everytime we do, she breaks down into sobs and noone can console her really.
She misses Harry and he told her a lot of things in his letter. But the most important one is, that he confessed his love and that Ginny could not answer to his confession because he was missing at the time she found her letter."
"The poor girl. But Harry is so sweet. They are so young and nevertheless he is deeply in love." Fleur smiled fondly at the thought of the young hero.
"That is our Harry, he is an outstanding person and nobody can replace him any time."
"I really hope that he is okay." "He is okay, I feel it."
