Ron was angry. He was so angry, that the moment he saw Ginny and Draco in bed together he slammed the open door behind him and put a silencing charm on it. There was no way anyone else was going to hear what was about to be said.
"Ginny," his voice trembled, "what have you done?! Why are you bed with this—this piece of trash?!"
Ginny's brow furrowed and she reached to the floor for her clothes. Ron took a step closer to the bed.
"I asked you a question!" Ron yelled. "Answer me!"
"Don't talk to her like that!" Draco yelled back as he was putting his clothes on.
Ron turned his gaze to Draco. The only thing that he wanted to do at that moment was to kill him. He wanted to make sure that he could never touch Ginny again.
"Shut up, Malfoy! I'll talk to her however I want to. You have no right to tell me what to do. Just because you're rich…"
"What does my wealth have to do with anything?" Draco asked, angry.
"Everything! Why do you think Ginny is in bed with you? She wouldn't betray Harry for any other reason than to use you to get a part of your wealth! We've been poor for so long and all she's ever wanted was to have a stable lifestyle! This is why she slept with you…it has to be!"
Ginny, now fully clothed, stepped out of the bed, walked up to Ron, and slapped him. Ron was shocked by the stinging pain on his cheek. He looked down at his sister and saw that she was in tears. The sight of it nearly broke his heart.
"How dare you say such things, Ron! You must hardly know me at all…I love Draco. I love him, Ron. It has nothing to do with you or Harry or anyone else. This is about me and Draco."
"But, Ginny…you're engaged to Harry." Ron pleaded with Ginny and watched as her face sunk and her eyes filled with tears.
"I know I am…but I fell out of love with Harry a long time ago. I love Draco now. Probably more than I ever loved Harry. Ron…please understand…I…"
Ron stared down at his little sister as she began to sob. She looked so young and so frail. It caused Ron pain to see his only sister this way. He was trying very hard to understand where she was coming from. He wanted to understand; needed to.
Ron sighed and took Ginny in his arms. "Ginny," he said to her as she sobbed louder, "I wish that I could understand but I just can't. I love you. You're my only sister. Can't you see why I want to protect you."
"Ron," Ginny sobbed as she looked up into Ron's eyes, "you don't need to protect me. I'm all grown up now—"
"And still making horrible decisions!" Ron fumed.
Ginny pushed herself out of Ron's arms and began backing away from him. "Ron…I…" Ginny was speechless as she stared wide-eyed at her angry brother. Ron and Ginny had stared at each other for a long time when Ginny sighed and dropped her gaze. She crossed her arms in defeat and walked across the room to Draco whom was now fully dressed and waiting for her. He stretched his arm out towards her and she willingly took it and smiled.
Ron watched what was going on in awe. Even though he didn't want it to be true he knew. He knew that Ginny and Draco truly loved each other. But he pushed the thought from his mind and returned to being angry.
"Ginny," Ron nearly yelled, "you can't do this! You belong with Harry! You are—"
"Ron!" Draco suddenly interrupted. The shock of hearing his voice made Ron jump. "Ron," Draco continued, calmer now, "are you going to let your hatred for me surpass your love for your only sister?"
Ron suddenly stiffened. His brow furrowed and he clenched his fists. "This isn't about you, Malfoy," Ron spat, "this is about Harry and Ginny. NOT you."
"Ron," Ginny said quietly, "we need to go. We can't keep arguing over this. We're running out of time. So, we have to go out there and pretend that nothing happened. We can't afford to fight amongst each other when there are so many already fighting against us. This is what they want! This is what Voldemort wants! He wants us to hate each other and separate because only when we are divided are we truly vulnerable. We are going to join the others and pretend like everything is normal. Harry mustn't know. No one should know."

Harry, Hermione, and Fred waited patiently for Ron to return with Ginny and Draco. None knew what had happened between them but they all had an idea. Every time Harry thought of Ginny or Draco his dream suddenly came back to him, flooding his mind. He tried to shake them off every time but nothing helped.
Just then Ron entered the small room with Ginny and Draco walking close behind holding their brooms and trunks.
"Sorry," Ginny said with a smile, "we took a little longer packing then we thought we would. We didn't mean to worry anybody."
Relief immediately swept over Harry. He stood up from his chair in the corner and nearly ran to Ginny and embraced her. Ginny was his beautiful fiancée. He knew that she would never deceive him. He cherished every word she ever said and he worshiped the ground she walked on. He would give his life for her.
Soon after everyone gathered their things and said their goodbyes.
"It might be a while before we ever see each other again," Hermione said as she hugged Ginny, "there's something I want to say before we leave."
"What's that?" Ginny asked as she whipped the tears from her face.
Hermione winked and whispered, "You smell like sex."
