XOXO

Harry came stumbling and coughing out of the Weasley's fireplace. He was followed by Ron – who still looked like he was about to kill somebody.

Harry didn't understand why Ron was so angry with him. He knew he liked his sister. He knew the only reason that they broke up was because of Voldemort, and he was gone now.

"Okay everyone. Go upstairs and wash up, and I'll have a nice meal on the table when you come back down."

Harry started walking up to Ron's room, closely followed by Ron and George. George really did look terrible. It was like he was a totally different person. He hadn't made a single joke in hours. He hadn't even smiled. It was hard to watch…but there was nothing he could do. That fact just made it worse.

"Come on, mate." Ron said, snapping him out of his train of thought.

"Right." was all he could say.

They walked into Ron's room. It had been almost a year since they had been here. There was a fine layer of dust on everything. It looked exactly the way they had left it. No one had even bothered to take the spare bed out.

They put there few belongings down, and sat on the beds. Ron lay back, obviously deep in thought. Harry was staring blankly at the wall, trying not to think about the ache in his ribs.

They heard a noise outside the door, and moments later Hermione came in dragged Ginny behind. Ginny was obviously being forced to come in. The expression on Ron's face changed in an instant. What had been calm suddenly turned to rage. Harry didn't know why Ron had such a problem with him going out with Ginny. He wanted to ask him, but it would have to be later. Harry was tired and hungry, and just wanted to have a nice night.

"Hello." said Hermione pleasantly.

"Yeah…hi…" mumbled Ron still staring at them intently.

"Hey." said Harry. "How are you guys?" He asked trying to make small talk. He generally didn't have to with Hermione or Ginny, but with Ron acting like this, it made them all very uncomfortable.

"Good, good." said Hermione, still with a pleasant tone.

"Mum says dinner should be done in a minute, so we should probably get down there." Ginny said.

"Yeah, we should." said Harry, "Are you coming Ron?"

"What? Oh, yeah, ok." Ron said in a puzzled tone. Why was he acting like this?

They all marched out the door and down the stairs. Harry-and the others- was surprised to see many familiar-but surprising- faces standing around the table.

Hagrid was there, along with, Fleur and Bill, Charlie, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Percy, Aberforth, Neville, Luna and her dad, and Professor McGonagall.

"I thought we should make this into a party, after all we have good reason to celebrate. How about we go outside though, there isn't enough room in here.

The whole group started to walk outside. Various people started conjuring up lights, setting up tables, and bringing out food, floating a few feet in front of them.

Soon, they had a nice spot for a dinner all set up. Everyone sat down and started talking.

The food was delicious. Harry had three helpings, as many people did. Most people talked about the defeat of Voldemort, which was only expected. A lot of thanks and praise went to Harry, which he thought he didn't deserve.

Harry kept trying to tell everyone he could never have done it without everyone's help, but of course, they told him he was being ridiculous and told him to stop being so humble.

"But when he came out of the forest, I didn't know what to think. I was feeling so much…" said Mrs. Weasley.

"He did such goo' job at pretendin' though. I was holdin' 'im an' I though' he wa'…gone."

"I just can't believe Voldemort is really gone though. It seems so surreal." said Bill.

"I know. It seems like a dream." said Luna in that far-away voice only she could pull off.

After a good meal, everyone headed up to bed. Harry and Ron climbed up the stairs to their room. Percy,-who was back in his old room- was just behind them, followed by George. Hermione was sleeping in Ginny's room, so she never even came upstairs.

Harry was having an argument in his head:

Just talk to Ron. Find out what's got him so angry.

Leave it until tomorrow. Let's just have one night of peace.

No. He's your best mate, and you need to know.

Just give me one nice night.

He'd do the same for you.

He'd like to have some peace too.

Harry absently walked into the room and sat down on his bed while he argued with himself:

You need to know, it's obviously about your relationship with Ginny.

I'll find out in the morning.

It will only take a minute, and then you can sleep.

I just want to have a good night.

His internal argument was interrupted by Ron.

"Harry, can I talk to you?" Great. Now he had no choice.

"Yeah, mate, what's up?" He asked

"It's about you…and Ginny."

"What about us?"

"Well, it's just…I don't think you should date."

Harry was shocked. How could Ron, his best mate, be saying he shouldn't see Ginny anymore? He cared for her so much it almost seemed inevitable. What was he saying?

"What?! Why?!" That was all that he could get out with yelling.

"Well…last time, you guys went out, and you dumped her. She was all cut up. Next time you decide to save the wizarding world, I don't want her to go through that. You didn't see her after you dumped her, but it was bad. I know you're my best mate and all, but she's my sister, and she comes first. I want you to be happy and all, but I don't want you to hurt her." said Ron.

Harry couldn't believe what Ron, his best mate, was saying. Now that Voldemort was gone he was never going to leave Ginny again! He really liked her, and couldn't leave again. Why did Ron think so badly of him?

"Ron you know why I dumped her! I didn't want to, but it was the only way to stop Voldemort! You make it sound like I wanted this. Like I asked for it! I would have loved to have a normal life! Nothing about my life was ever normal! I can't help that I was the only one who could defeat him. I would have loved to be able to give it to someone else. But it was always me! ALWAYS! And I can't change that. I wouldn't hurt her again, and if you don't know that you obviously don't know me!" Harry couldn't stop himself from yelling this time, though he did try hard not to.

"I'm just trying to protect my sister! I don't want you hurting her again! Harry, I'm just trying to do what's best! I want you two to be happy, I really do, but you've hurt her before and I don't want you to do it again!" Ron was yelling back.

"Why are you guys fighting over me?" Asked Ginny, who was standing in the doorway with tears in her eyes. "You two are best mates. Don't let me ruin that." she said.

"I'm just trying to do what's best for you Ginny! You know what Harry did to you! How can you take him back so easily? What if he hurts you again?"

"I know he won't! Harry cares about me! He would never do that. Why can't you see that? He's your best mate Ron!"

"Dammit Ron! Can't you see I love her?!" Harry yelled.

WOAH!!! He loves her?!?!?!?! What will happen?? Tune in next time on The Missing Years to find out! lol Question Time
