Chapter 2

By the next day they went to the Burrow. They were shocked to see Ron's head hairless.

"Ron! It's nice to see you" said Hermione tears flowing from her eyes. "How are you? Do you feel fine? Are you feeling something?" asked Hermione without even putting her bags down.

"Hi! Mione! Wait what are you and Harry doing here?" asked Ron surprised to see Hermione and Harry emerging from the door of his home.

"Alright there Ron?" said Harry forcing to hold tears in his eyes not to come out. But he can't, seeing his friend like this.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Nothing to worry about believe me" said Ron, he too was now almost in tears seeing his friends, maybe for the last time he thought.

Ron was sitting at the dinner table, he's started to loose hair since when he was in Hogwarts, but he did not seem to notice that before, now he has some few strands left, scattered all over his head. Harry presumed that he couldn't walk either because there was a wheel chair beside him. Knowing Ron, he'll try to say he's fine but the truth is he's not.

Ron is dying.

'His sickness is Leukemia" said Ginny while talking to Hermione and Harry while Ron is sleeping.

"Oh my God!" as Hermione gasped and started crying again.

"The muggle doctor told me that, the wizard hospital can't seem to identify his sickness so my father said to let a muggle doctor see him" said Ginny almost in tears too.

"The doctor said that maybe he got from staying up late, not eating properly and working hard that his body just gave up." Said Ginny.

Now Harry started to remember the quidditch practices they used to have. Ron was always the last one to go back up to the dormitory because he really wanted to improve. And when e got back up he will start doing his assignment giving him no time to rest.

"Damn all those quidditch practices!" Harry said aloud causing to wake up Ron.

"Harry if you want to curse it's not that I'm not letting you but just do it if I'm awake ok?" Ron said and went back to sleep with a smile on his face.

The next morning Ron woke up seeing Hermione by his side and staring at him.

"Good morning Mione!" said Ron, he can't barely lift his hands to stretch.

"Morning Ron! Are feeling all right? Do you need something?" asked Hermione.

"Yes I'm ok, don't worry about me" said Ron trying to stand up from his bed.

"I'll help you" hurriedly Hermione helped Ron get up from bed and let him sit in his wheelchair.

"Thanks Hermione, could you accompany me outside? I want to see the sun, even for the last time" said Ron with sadness in his voice.

Hermione and Ron were outside when Harry shouted from the sky-

"Morning guys!" Harry shouted.

Seeing that Harry was in his firebolt, with Ginny!

"Hey Mione, Hey Ron look at me!" shouted Ginny, screaming in excitement.

Then they went down and Harry asked Ron-

"Wanna ride?" Harry said grinning. "It'll be fun!"

"How?" Ron said, looking at his flail feet.

Then Harry with all his strength carried Ron and put him in the firebolt. Then he sat just behind him.

"Ready? Here we Gooooooooo!"

They soared to the sky! They soared not caring if any muggle could see them as long as Ron is having the time of his life.

That night Ron is alone outside sitting in his wheelchair enjoying the night's breeze.

"Ron?" Hermione walked towards him. "Ron I have something to tell you." Said Hermione putting her hands on his.

"What? If I need something, I'm fi---"

Then Hermione kissed him gently on the lips to stop him saying anything more.

"What the?" Ron a little bit confused stared at her.

"I love you Ron and I don't want you to go!" cried Hermione, she was really crying that everyone in the house watching is also crying.

"Don't cry" Ron said with a smile "Think of it as if I'm going away to a much more better place" He said trying to stop Hermione from crying.

"Just remember that I have and always will love you!" said Ron almost in tears. "And I'm truly sorry that I can't stay long enough to share that love with you." Said Ron, now they both crying to each other's arms.

In the past few days Ron and Hermione were always together reminiscing and talking about everything, all their secrets and dreams. They avoided talking about the future cause they'll just feel bad.

Even if they never wanted it to come Ron's last day was the most horrible day for Hermione.

"Hermione I love you very much. And when I'm gone don't be sad for we'll still meet… someday… feel free to love someone as long as he loves you back to… just make sure it wouldn't be Malfoy!" said Ron jokingly.

"Don't say that Ron. I'll never love anyone again as I have loved you." Hermione said trying not to cry anymore.

"Harry be good now, now don't you go falling for Ginny, she's a bit nagger---"

"Ron!" said Ginny with tears in her eyes.

"Ron, you know that I'll love your sister as much as I can" said Harry assuring Ron that nothing will happen to his sister when he's gone….

Then at that moment Ron's last words were "see you…Herm…" then he's eyes slowly shut----------
