Bill sat in an old saggy sofa in his and Fleur's house. Thoughts raced through his mind and most of them were about his brother, Ron.
Ron was on some mission from Dumbledore, which no one except Ron, Hermione and Harry knew about, they wouldn't let on what it was about but those who knew of this mission knew it was dangerous and they were just teenagers, they should be going into their last year at Hogwarts but instead they were on some stupid mission for Dumbledore!

Fleur poked her head around the door,
"Zere iz zome one 'ere for you Bill," she whispered and opened up the door fully.

Ron.

Bill jumped up and embraced his wet brother; Bill thought he was dead.
Fleur smiled at the sight of the two brothers; she knew how much Bill was worried; she left them alone and shut the door behind her.

"W-what are you doing here Ronnie? Shit are they dead,"

"No, no, they're not Will, can I sit down and tell you," Bill nodded and they sat on the saggy sofa, "Don't be mad," Bill nodded; he knew this was serious.

"Me and Harry had this fight, 'Mione stopped us before we started firing curses at each other. I don't know how it started, it was all a blur, and I didn't know where else I could go, I definitely wasn't going 'home', Charlie is in Romania but I don't know where and Percy works for the ministry and that is the only thing keeping him safe...and I trust you Will," Bill hugged Ron again, he knew this must have been some fight for Ron to actually pack up and leave.

"It's ok, I don't think I would have lasted five minutes with that idiot," Ron chuckled; Bill hated Harry, always said that Ron could do better than him.

"Where you going Will?" asked Ron when Bill got up, Bill just tapped the side of his nose in an I'm-not-telling-you fashion.

Bill came back a few minutes later; he was holding something behind his back.

"Tad-ahhh," smiled Bill, he held out a tub of ice cream and two spoons, Ron laughed.

"The last time we did this was the day before your wedding," said Ron, after he had taken a huge spoonful of ice cream.

"Merlin, I remember that...thanks for helping me to make up my mind, I know now that marrying Fleur was the right thing to do," Bill ruffled Ron's hair, "So, did mum get to your hair then?"

Ron just tapped his nose. Bill grabbed the ice cream tub, jumped up and held it above his head as high as he could.

"Tell me, or no more ice cream," but Bill hadn't seen his youngest brother in a while, and the boy had grown. With ease, Ron grabbed the tub; Bill was shocked, "bloody hell! When did you get so bloody tall?"

Ron just smirked and sat back down, spooning ice cream into his mouth; after Bill got over the shock of Ron's height he also sat back down.

"Spell," said Ron simply, it took Bill a few seconds to realise what Ron was saying, "Charlie told me it,"

"So it hides you hair?"

"Yeah, I have to put it into a ponytail and with one flick, it just looks like I have short hair, I just told mum I had cut it myself," smirked Ron, proud at his hair-hiding skills, "I'll tell you it one day," smiled Ron; Bill had had to cut his hair because of Molly, she didn't approve of males having long hair.

"You're not telling me everything," said Bill, after a few minutes.

"About what Will?"

"Why you left them, you just don't get up and leave Ronnie, you are actually a patient guy...tell me," said Bill, looking Ron right in the eyes.

After a while Ron finally responded, "There was this locket thingy and it made you see things in a different way, a bad way, I kept thinking that I wasn't worth them and that I was just a spare part, someone who they didn't want but just felt sorry for, someone they didn't care for, I knew in my heart that those things weren't true, but my mind kept saying they were. I felt so stupid, so worthless, so rubbish, so pathetic...and they both can't cook to save their lives" Bill smiled at the last part, Ron and his stomach, "I just had to get away from them, and their food. Clear my head. I regret leaving now, I won't be able to find them, 'cause we put spells around us, to keep us hidden. They're going to hate me, I don't know if I can go back, but I can't stay here, I said I would help and now I have just run away...I am worthless, rubbish, pathetic and stupid," Ron muttered the last part to himself, not wanting Bill to hear it...but he did.

"You are none of those things Ronnie; you're brave, strong, bold, funny, smart, witty, quick-thinking and an amazing cook," Bill putting his arm around his brother.

"Stay here for as long as you want and if you do decide to go, just say goodbye and go," Bill hugged his brother and took the ice cream tub; they had eaten it all; Ron needed to be alone to think things over, "I'll come back later, to show you your room and introduce you to Fleur," Bill walked to the door, opened it but turned back to Ron, "You're more important and better than you think...they need you,"

Hope you enjoyed that mini-story. Just a little brotherly love. =)
