Chasing Dragonflies
Chapter 9
Where am i? Harry, where are you? My thoughts hurt my head, feeling weak i couldn't stand, i couldn't open my eyes, they were being glued shut by something i didn't understand, my nose ached as the strong smell around me made my stomach wrench, the noise, it was screaming, screeching, begging for death. What the fuck is going on? Forcing my eyes open, i was sure they were still closed, darkness covered me, blinking dust out of eyes, i looked at my darken environment.
The forbidden forest, why am i here? I was in bed, Harry, he was waking me up, taking me to the hospital wing, then i woke up here? Where's Harry i hope he is okay. Why am i so tired? Confused i walked towards the noise foolishly.
"He awakens." The voice said in a laugh, "Stupid boy." That voice, that face. No. It can't be him.
I cry in pain, as a bright light pushes me to a tree, my head hitting a branch i fall to the ground, spiders every where, screaming in fear as they start to crawl up my leg, biting me as they go, he laughs.
"Little Weasley, scared of spiders." I was tied to the tree by invisible ropes, screaming, making him laugh more. "There not going to here you." He laughed. "I'm going to kill you in your nightmares, and your going to die in real life."
"No!" I screamed, i wasn't going to die, i was going to see Harry once more, kiss him, tell him how much i love him, tell him just how much i needed him.
"Naive boy. No one is coming to save you. Your dead in their eyes, there's nothing they can do now. Its just you and me, and your fears."
The spiders grew as they crawled up my legs, getting larger and larger i felt as if i was shrinking, struggling to become free, only caused my body more pain, and him to laugh more.
"What else are you scared of Ronald." He said as let out a little laugh. "Losing your love?"
"Leave Harry alone." I shouted, "Please."
"Or what?" He said, lowering himself down to face me, his red eyes glowed hatred, causing my heart to freeze.
"I'll kill you." My words were stupid, but i couldn't think of anything to say,
"Remind me, your the one that's tied to a tree?"
"Let me go!" I screamed, his pointed fingers coming closer to me, his dirty finger nails digging into my temple.
"Lets see the love of your life die." He laughed, i screamed, as my head became a cinema showing yet another horror film.
The lights were dark, and Harry was sleeping, turning restlessly in his sleep, screaming silently, as cold tears stung his cheeks, whimpering the name Ron over and over again, he woke up in a hot sweat, looking next to him he was alone.
"Harry." The familiar voice sent shivers down his spine, he looked up in search for the voice, and standing at the foot of his bed was me, i was standing there watching him, but i wasn't in control.
"Ron?" His voice sent sparks of confusion towards me, "Is it really you?"
"Its me. Everything is going to be okay Harry, I'm here." My body moved closer, i could feel what i had in my hand, and my mind was screaming no, i could tell he was here with me watching, i heard his cold laughter and wanted to kill him then and there. "Don't worry Harry, your not going to be hurt ever again, your not going to feel any more pain, your not going to feel anything any more." One more scream, and Harry's blood was on my hands, and i was back in the forest, the crimson liquid still on my hands.
"You killed him Ron, your a murderer!"
"No!" I shouted as i sobbed hard. "You killed him!"
"And now, I'm going to kill you!"

Harry sat silently watching Ron's sleeping body, his chest rose up and down in a slow rhythm, Madam Pomfrey and the healers she had called didn't know what was wrong with him, they had given him a potion to wake him up, but the sleeping figure mocked them telling him it wasn't working. Harry held his hand tightly, "Please wake up." He kept telling him, but still, he slept.
"You need to leave now Potter." Madam Pomfrey said, "I know you don't want to, but you need your rest as well, if there is any change, we will call you straight away."
Reluctantly Harry moved away from Ron, after pressing his lips onto Ron's he left. Crying as he walked down the corridor, looking down, as staring faces peered at him.
"Potter." Malfoy's voice was taunting him, "How's Weasley?"
"Fuck off." Harry said numbly.
"No," He moved his body closer to Harry's and pushed him into the empty class room. "See, there is something i can't put my finger on." Harry resisted the urge to break free of Malfoy's strong grip, his body refused to move, his heart ached with thoughts of Ron. "Why is Weasley with a squirmy git like you?" Malfoy laughed, and pushed Harry further into the class room after locking the door.
"Looks like I'm going to find out though Potter."
Harry stood motionless as Draco pushed his lips on him, losing his grip on him as the kiss grew wilder, biting his own lip Harry refused Draco entry, retrieving a heavy slap on the face, "Give me what i want Potter." Draco tried again, Harry refused but Draco tried any way, pushing Harry onto the floor and pinning him there. Harry lay there, tears falling down his cheeks as Draco did everything and anything he wanted to Harry, who didn't have a choice in the matter.

Harry ran to the Gryffindor common room, and ran up to his dorm, locking himself in a privacy spell on his bed, he cried hard, ripping his clothes of so he wouldn't smell of Draco's touch, using his wand to call for clean clothes Harry changed, and held himself tight, as he cried into his knees.
The next morning he woke up and rushed to the hospital wing, where Ron's parents sat silently, "Harry Dear." Mrs Weasley smiled, and went to hug Harry but he pulled away, she looked upset at the action but didn't question it.
"He woke up." Mr Weasley smiled. "Asked if you were okay, and then went back to sleep."
Harry felt as if a load of energy had been pulled of his shoulders, and he sat in the empty seat, and cried, he stared at Ron's figure, and wondered if he woke up when Draco was doing all those horrible things to him, but that got him in such a state, he couldn't face being in the presence of any of the Weasley family and rushed to the boys toilets, sitting in a cubicle he cried hard into his knees again.

A green light hit Ron, as the killing curse it him, screaming he held onto the picture of Harry in his mind, refusing to go, he held onto his body, his soul demanding an exit. His mind pushed him through his memories, as he watched when he first met Harry, he relieved all his happy memories, as his heart broke thinking he would never be able to add to the list of memories any more.
"When I'm with You Ron, I'm not the chosen one, I'm Harry, Just Harry and that is the best feeling i have ever had, i live because you live, and if you died, i would lose myself, i wouldn't be able to live with out you."
Ron held tight to the words his memory had said, and followed them through, he was determined not to die, so Harry wouldn't die, he had to be there for him. Instead of the dark light that was pulling him to the end, Ron saw a glimpse of a white light, and he saw the figures of his crying parents, pushing himself forward Ron fell into his sleeping body.

Ron took a deep breath, as his body woke up, "Harry?" was all he could manage to say.
"He's fine dear, he went to bed." His mums word eased the pain, and Ron let his body fall back into a light sleep, knowing he would wake up again when his body was ready.
