"WHAT!" Ron said his eyes bulging. He couldn't believe it.

"I…HAVE…TO…GO…SEE…DRACO" She said as though he was going deaf. "Bye." She turned on her heal, her hair swinging behind her.

'WHAT HAVE I DONE?' Ron thought. 'Ginny and Draco- well maybe he's different. I mean, Lily and James are still alive, and Peter Pettigrew is not only not a traitor but along with James, Sirius, and Lupin cannot change into animals at will or not. And I-Know-Who never existed and, and…' He stopped when he got hungry and went to the great hall for breakfast.

Hermione saw Ron and waved him over to where she was sitting.

"What took you so long Ron!" She interrogated him. Ron remembered her saying that to both Ron and Harry when they had been up to no good before a meal together. Ron's eyes started to tear up. He sat there thinking about all the things that he and Harry had done together. Then his thoughts turned to all the negative things Harry had almost done; almost broken his sister's heart, almost got him kicked out of his own home and Hogwarts, and almost STOLE HIS LOVE.

"I just slept in, sorry." He finally said. He was not telling the whole truth, but it was some what true.

Later on, Ginny and Draco showed up at breakfast looking happy. 'That's supposed to be Harry.' Ron thought. How long was he going to do this to himself? He knew that what he did was wrong! And then a scream came from the stairway. He ran out, and there was Hermione on the stairs, looking white in the face, she had dropped her wand. Dementors had surrounded her, and had sucked some of the life out of her.

Because of the D.A. Ron had learned how to do a patronum. He drew his wand, shaking and yelled, "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" It wasn't exactly as marvelous as Harry's but it saved Hermione from dying the most horrible death there was.

"Ron they took Ginny and Draco, I don't think they were really dementors!" Hermione declared.

Ron stood still. So even if there wasn't Voldemort, there was still evil in the world. Ron couldn't stop that.

"Hermione, I need you to make me a potion. NOW!" He yelled.
