Well, a sneering voice, this is really easy to guess, come on :-D Of course it is Malfoy!

Diagon Alley – Part 2

"Oh, look at that…" said a sneering voice from behind.

They turned around to see Draco Malfoy standing in the doorway accompanied by some very strong and stupid looking boys.

"What do you do in such an expensive shop, Weasley? I would have thought this bracelet there is worth more than your house." he smirked. "And I see, you still are with the Mudblood girl. Well, I have to admit she looks nice, even though she is worth even less than your house."

Ron's blood was boiling as it was nearly always when he saw Malfoy. His ears were burning red and his fists were clenched.

"Shut up, Malfoy." he said in a warning tone but Malfoy's grin became even wider.

"Ron, let's go." Hermione said and pulled Ron out of the shop by his hand. Malfoy and his friends followed them.

"Isn't it sweet? All these years everyone thought you two would end up together and it finally happened." Malfoy said nastily. "Well, I bet you still haven't shagged her, Weasel, have you? Poor virgin Weasel."

Ron turned around. "Shut up, Malfoy, or I'll punch the hell out of you."

Diagon Alley was nearly empty by now and it was already getting darker.

"Maybe I will shag her in a dark corner when you're not around and she's going to scream my name."

The next moment Malfoy lay on the floor, his nose bleeding, and Ron was punching and kicking every part of him he could reach.

"Ron, stop!" Hermione screamed but she was pushed painfully to the ground by Malfoy's friends who were now pulling Ron off of Malfoy.

Then they started to beat him up badly. Malfoy got to his feet holding his balls, his face contorted with pain.

"You better not do that again, Weasel." he said.

Ron lay on the floor, wincing and being kicked by Malfoy's friends.

Hermione got up again and ran towards the crowd but she was pushed to the floor again by Malfoy. "Mudblood, stay on the ground where you belong!" he shouted in her face. Then he said to his friends "It's enough. Let's go."

They let go of Ron and all of them vanished around a corner.

"R-Ron?" said Hermione sobbing. He did not answer. "Ron, please, speak to me!"

She crawled over to where he lay and turned him over on his back. She gasped and began to cry harder. His eyes were closed, blood was spilling out of his nose and mouth and a big scratch strechted over his eye and cheek.

"Ron, wake up, wake up now."

He opened only one eye because the other one was swollen.

"Hermione?"

"Yes, yes it's me."

"Good." he said and then he passed out again.

"No, Ron, stay awake! RON!"

She jumped up and lifted Ron into the air with a hovering charm. Then she ran into a nearby shop with him as fast as she could. The man behind the counter looked at her shocked but did not move when she grabbed a hand full of floo powder and vanished into green flames grabbing Ron's hand.
