Chapter 3: The Aftermath

Ron watched Hayley leave. He went back inside an went to his room.

"Finally your back, you need to practice." Harry said to Ron.

"RON." a girls voice cried out in his head.

"Did you hear that?" Ron asked his friends.

"Hear what?" Harry, Draco, and Neville asked.

"Did you hear a girl's voice cry out my name?" Ron asked. All three friends shook their heads. In the back of Ron's mind he could still hear this girl crying.

"Please tell me you hear a girl crying." Ron said.

"Ron are you ok?" Harry asked.

"Ron we don't hear anything." Draco said.

"I'm fine, lets practice." Ron said. By The end of the day both Neville and Ron could change into their anamagus forms. Ron can turn into a dog, and Neville can turn into a bat.

Hayley finally came back to the Burrow at nine. She walked up to the girls room covering her face. She slipped into her bed and begun to cry. After about half an hour alone, everyone finally cam back from Diagon Alley.

"Hayley, your back. Ron, Hayley is back," Hermione hollered from the door. Ron came into the room and saw that Hayley was covering her face.

"Hey girls can we have some privacy?" Ron asked. All the girls left the room.

"Hey baby, are you ok?" Ron asked. Hayley started crying harder. Ron went to pull own the covers, but Hayley stopped him.

"Please, I don't want you to look at me." Hayley cried.

"Baby let me see." Ron said. He pulled down the covers and looked into Hayley's pain struck eyes.

"Did he do this to you?" Ron cried. Hayley nodded. She had bruises on her cheeks and a black eye. She got up and walked slowly and wobbly over to the door and shut it. She lifted up her pant legs and showed Ron more bruises on her thighs. She lifted up her shirt and showed him more bruises on her chest and stomach. Ron grabbed Hayley and held her as they cried together.

"Did he force you to have sex with him?" Ron asked. Hayley nodded into his chest.

"Twice." Hayley cried.

"I'm going to kill him." Ron said as anger surged through his body.

"Please just stay with me tonight. Just hold me." Hayley pleaded.

"Anything for you baby. You are never going with him ever again. I'll make sure of that." Ron said as he pulled Hayley over to the bed.

When Hayley was fast asleep, Ron quietly slid out of bed and walked out of the room. He walked down to the kitchen, poured him some water and sat down at the table. His thoughts circled around Hayley, which made him start to cry.

"Hey Ron, what are you doing up?" Harry asked as he walked into the kitchen. Ron quickly wiped his eyes.

"I..I couldn't sleep." Ron replied.

"Is everything ok?" Harry asked.

"Yeah man why?" Ron asked.

" I saw you wiping your eyes and they are all bloodshot from crying. So now do you want to tell me what's going on?" Harry said. Ron got up and started pacing as the tears flew down his face.

"Man Harry, I don't know want you to see me like this." Ron said wiping his eyes.

"Ron it's ok to cry. You've seen me cry before. There is nothing wrong with it." Harry replied.

" I just don't know what to do. I want to kill him for touching her." Ron said.

"Ron who are you talking about?" Harry asked.

"When the time is right, I will tell you, I promise. I just can't right now." Ron said.

"Ok, mate, you can tell me whenever you are ready, no pressure." Harry said patting Ron on the shoulder. After a while Ron went up to bed, beside Hayley.

Both Ron ad Hayley decided to tell everyone that Hayley ran into the freezer door. After that no one asked questions. When they were alone was when Hayley broke down.

"I tried to get away, but he tied my hands to the seat." Hayley cried. Ron wrapped his arms around her and drew her close

" Why does this have to happen to me. Please Ron don't let him take me again." Hayley cried into his chest.

"Don't worry, I won't let him touch you again." Ron vowed.
