Chapter 9
"What do you mean, shes not up there?" Rom asked.
"Shes not in the dorm, but I found some floo powder next to the fireplace. I think she went home, or somewhere else. She ran away Ron, because you didnt believe her."
"I was going tp appologize though."
"But she didnt know that. And now, wherever she is she still doesnt think you do. So if you still love her, You better go find her and let her know."
Ron hesitated, "Gimme some of that powder."
Hanna made her way down the dark ally. She saw a dark shadow from the corner of her eye. Ron had once told her about the time Harry had fought dementors. Could the shadow be one? She sped up her pace, but then decided to look back, she sreamed out when she saw who it was.
"Oh, what are you doing out of school Miss Fudge?" Mr. Malfoy gazed at her with a smile.
"Um...I ran away." She knew she couldnt lie, this was after all her future father-in-law.
"Now why would you do that?" he asked, still showing that eveil, smile.
Now was the time to lie, "I hate that school. Potter is such a twit. I couldnt stand him anymore." Good one, she thought. Lucius hates Harry anyway.
"Oh, i see. Let me take you to your father." He grabbed the back of her neck with a cold hand and led her down the ally.
Ron stood in the fire place, he had a raised hand and was ready to shout " Diagon Ally" when Hermione came back down the stairs with a sheet of paper.
"Ron Ron! Look at this Hanna left it, its a note." Ron snatched the paper out of Hermiones hand.
It Read:
Dear Ron,
I know when you read this you will still be upset with me but I just have to tell you something, I love you. I dont love Malfoy or Harry or anybody else. Only you, I ran away ao I can continue to be schooled at home so you wont have to see me anymore. I was only trying to protect you when I lied, thats the truth. Thanks for all the time we spent together, Ill never forget you.
Hanna (Alexis) Fudge
Ron folded the letter up and placed it in his pocket, he raced back into the common room fireplace and firmly said, "The Fudges!"
The next time he opened his eyes, he was in a large room filled with large, tan furniture, the red walls matched his hair almost perfectly. Ron took a look around and yelled out. Nobody seemed to be home. He decided to look for Hannas room and wait there for her, he couldnt understand why she wasnt there. He walked around and looked for the girls bedroom. There was a sign on a door that said 'Hannas Room'.
Thats it, Ron thought.
He opened the door and stepped inside, It was filled with white furniture, large canopy bed, and a girl crouched up in a chair, seated in the corner of the room. "Hanna" he whispered to himself. he ran across the large room and reached out but then he noticed it wasnt Hanna. It was a house elf.
"What are you doing here?" he asked. "Master Fudge says NO ONE can come into this house unless invited, and Master is not here at the moment." he snapped at ron and started to shoo him out the door.
"Im sorry." Ron was suprosed by the look of this elf. He was dressed so well. HE must have been freed but decided to stay and work for the family. " Ill just be going now." Ron raced out the door because he wasnt going to sit around and wait for her, he was going out to find her.
Lucius took Hanna to the Leaky Culdron. They both knew her father was going to be there. They walked in the door and stopped.
"Now you go and talk to daddy and just tell him to come see me after his drink." He pushed her ahead in her fathers direction.
Hanna approched her dad and patted him on the shoulder. " Daddy?"
"Honey! what are you doing here? Why arent you in school."
"Nevermind that daddy...I have to tell you something. He father motioned for her to sit down. She took a deep breath, "Daddy, I dont want to be with Malfoy anymore, I dont love him and i refuse to marry him. Im in love with someone else."
Corneilious had a stern look on his face. "Whos that?"
"Ron Weasly"
Ron walked down Diagon Ally. He saw drunk witches and wizards walk out of bars, teenagers who he recognized from past years at Hogwarts walk in and out of stores.
Then he spotted a familiar person walk from The Leaky Culdron.
Lucius Malfoy stared into the darkness and continued to walk down the street.
Ron stopped in his tracks. He waited for the man to disapear from around the corner. He continued to walk in the shadows and abruptly stopped when he saw her. Hanna Ran from the bar and was running down the street. A blank expression on her face.
"Hanna!" he called. Hanna turned around and ran strait to Ron but stopped in front of him.
She looked down at the ground. "Do you still not beleive me?"
"No." Ron said " I do belive you Hanna. I do, and I am sorry I never should have said those things to you."
Her eyes lit up, she was now staring back at him. "Hanna I love you too."
"I know"
She threw herself at him and kissed him. It lasted the longest time.
"Hanna." how can we continue to see eachother though? Were not allowed.You cant."
"But Ron, we can. We can. I talked to my dad. He is definatley not happy, he still doesnt like your family. He called off the deal with the Malfoys. I told him that hes the one that wants to be known not me, and this isnt his life, its mine."
Ron was so happy he picked up Hanna and kissed her again.
