Torture: Chapter 3
Hermione paced the length of the Gryfindor common room for the 211th time that afternoon. There had been no word from McGonagall for the whole morning and now the time was 1:48pm. "Oh for Godric's sake!" Ron yelled out, just as the professor herself rushed into the room. "Miss. Granger, Mr. Weasley, please follow me." She said, then leaving the room down the corridor.
In moments the party of 3 were down in the Infirmary of the school, standing in front of the wooden doors. "He is alright, and he is well to go home most likely by Monday, but by gentle with him." The teacher said, opening the doors to reveal the bright room, filled with the light of the afternoon.
The 3rd bed down on the right side of the room, laid the raven-haired boy. "Harry…" Ron said, running over to the bed and looking upon the boy's face.
"Hey Ron, Hermione." Harry said weakly, looking over to his friends. Hermione smiled, concern in her eyes.
"How are you feeling Harry?" Hermione asked, leaning onto the bed. "Well, better than last night for sure." Harry replied, trying to sit up. "So, H-Harry, can you tell us what happened?" Hermione asked, trying not to sound like she was prodding. "Well, actually, I…I don't remember any thing, any thing at all." He said, scratching his head thoughtfully, trying to recall the events of yesterday. "I remember leaving the hospital wing and going back to the dormitories, then nothing. I don't even remember getting to the dorm at all." Harry confessed, looking at both his friends in turn.
"We have inspected his memory, but we haven't been able to trace anything yet. Whomever took Harry last night did an extremely good job on the memory." McGonagall said, coming over to speak to them. "We will be investigating further, but for now Harry can rest." The professor said as her final words before leaving the hospital wing. Percy came over and sat on the edge of Harry's bed. "In case it might help, I found you in the Huffelpuff corridor, unconscious and bleeding heavily. I could've sworn you were dead." The redhead implied, getting up. "Thank-you Percy." Harry smiled at the older boy, making Ron turn away blushing.
Could he like Percy? Ron thought to himself as his older brother left the room. Harry smiled as Percy left. "I don't know what I would've done without your brother Ron." He said, looking over to Ron who was blushing slightly. "You alright Ron?" Harry asked his friend, who turned and looked at him. "Yeah, I'm okay mate, just worried about you at the moment." Ron replied, looking directly at Harry. Hermione smiled at her two friends as she stood and headed for the door. "Hermione, where are you going?" Ron asked, almost a bit worried of being alone with Harry. "Just back to the dormitories. Besides, I have some Transfiguration homework I need to finish up." She said, smiling again to herself and leaving, closing the door behind her.
"So, Ron. How is your leg anyway?" Harry said, nervous. "Oh, right. It's fully healed, thanks to you for brining me here." Ron smiled to his friend, still blushing. Harry smiled as well, staring at his sheets. Ron moved over slightly, his hand brushing across Harry's. "Uh…sorry." He stammered, taking his hand sharply up away from the other boy's. "Don't…" Harry said, bringing his own bandaged hand up to Ron's and holding it. The red-haired boy collapsed onto Harry, who winced slightly but wrapped his arms around his friend. "Harry, I was so worried about you, I-I didn't know what had happened to you. I was really scared." Tears trailed across his face, dropping onto the bed. Harry smiled, saying, "It's okay Ron, I'm here now. And I'm not going to let anything take me from you." Harry hugged Ron tighter, even though it was hurting him. Ron pulled back, feeling Harry wince again.
"I-I'm sorry Harry. I shouldn't have done that…you're in pain." Ron said, moving away, but Harry wouldn't take that. He took Ron's shoulder's, moving the other boy to face him. "I would feel all the pain in the world just to have you by me…" Harry took a hand and placed it on Ron's cheek, pulling him closer. Ron tilted his head as Harry leaned in, pressing their lips together. Ron moaned: he had been wanting to do this for a long time. Harry smiled into the kiss, licking Ron's bottom lip, teasing him. Ron opened his mouth, admitting Harry. Ron leaned forward even more, coming closer to Harry's body.
"Ron, I want you to know that, I always wanted us to be like this…" Harry said quietly, looking into Ron's blue eyes. "Me too…"Ron replied leaning closer again, but before they could do anything, Madame Pomfrey rushed in. Harry and Ron looked towards her, moving slightly apart but still holding hands. "I'm sorry Mr.Weasley but I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Harry is going to need some rest." She said, just as the headmaster came in as well. "Okay. See you later Harry. Professor Dumbledore." Ron nodded towards the headmaster and left the room, taking a last glance at Harry.
Ron walked by himself back to the dormitories. They were dark because it had become late, and the corridors were mostly empty from students because there was nothing more to do but go to their houses and do homework.
Along the way to Gryfindor tower, Ron thought about what had happened between him and Harry…
"Ron, I want you to know that, I always wanted us to be like this…" Ron thought about that line. "I always wanted us to be like this…"
Ron smiled; he did too.
