Erised
Ron could still remember when he was eleven and Harry had stumbled across the mirror of Erised. When Harry had taken him to see it, Ron had seen himself alone. As head boy, Quidditch captain, and holding the Quidditch cup.
Those days were long gone.
Had a seventeen year old Ron looked in the mirror on this very day, he would not have seen himself as Head Boy.
He would not have seen himself as Quidditch Captain.
He would not have seen himself holding the Quidditch cup.
He would have seen himself with Hermione Granger, and a new family.
