Chapter 21

Ron was pacing in Dumbledore's office, waiting for his father to get there. Arthur Weasley had to come as not only his father, but as the Minister of Magic too. This was going to be a tough decision for him to make. Whether he had to send his son to Azkaban or not. Molly was also coming, as the mediator between Ron and Arthur. Narcissa, Severus, Draco and Hermione were also going to be there. I wish I could have killed that prat Malfoy. If only Harry hadn't got in the way, Draco would be dead and I'd be with Hermione right now. Arthur had just apparated into Dumbledore's office.

"Ronald Weasley! What the hell do you think you were doing?"

"Isn't it obvious? I was trying to kill Malfoy."

"But why? He hasn't done anything to you all year."

"Unless you count stealing my Hermione away from me."

"Is that what this is all about? Hermione? Son, she's just a girl, you can find someone else. She isn't worth risking your life for."

"Dad, yes she is. She is my world and I'm nothing without her. You know that I have been miserable ever since we broke up. And even more so since she married Malfoy."

"That is not something you can change. She made her decision and it wasn't you. Get over it."

"I guess I'll have plenty of time to think about it when I go to Azkaban."

"Yes, you will, but I will not make my final decision until your mother and everyone else gets here."

"Yes Dad."

There was a loud popping noise and there was Molly, Percy, Bill, Charlie, George and Fred Weasley. They had to bring the entire family didn't they? I'm surprised that Ginny hasn't shown up yet. Then in walked through the door Hermione, Draco, Narcissa, Severus, Harry, and Ginny. What the hell is Harry doing here? I guess it's for being a witness. Who knows?

"Ron, please sit down."

"We have called you all here tonight because my son, Ron, has preformed an Unforgivable Curse that was meant to kill Draco." Molly started sobbing. "Is there anyone here who can prove otherwise?"

Everyone remained silent until Narcissa spoke up. "I want to know one thing, Mr. Weasley. Why did you try to kill my son?"

"He has everything that I wanted. Hermione."

Hermione was outraged. "So you tried to kill Draco just because we're married?"

"Yep."

"That is the MOST idiotic thing that I have ever heard. You could have had me, but YOU broke up with ME, remember? I love Draco and our son and daughter. How dare you call yourself my friend. I wish you all the happiness in the world so you can have the dementors suck it out of you."

Harry spoke up this time. "She's right Ron; I told you this was going to happen if you didn't just give it a rest. You alienated all your friends just by plotting this stupid revenge thing against Hermione and Draco. You deserve everything that is coming to you."

Ron was speechless for the first time in his life. His best friends in the entire world had just turned their back on him. Maybe now I regret it a little bit. But not much.

"Well. I guess you all heard it for yourselves. He admitted it. So there is only one thing left to do. Ronald Billius Weasley, would you please stand. I hereby sentence you to 2 years in Azkaban. At the end of the 2 years, you will receive the Dementor's Kiss."

"Arthur Weasley! How could you do this to your own son?" Molly was absolutely in hysterics by then.

"Simple Molly. I no longer have 6 sons. I only have 5. Ron is no longer my son. He does not deserve it."

"Well, Ron, you still have me." Molly was still in hysterics.

"You don't have a sister anymore." Said Ginny surprising everyone. "You tried to kill one of my friends and I don't want anything to do with you."

"Neither do we." Spoke up Fred and George.

"You're on your own little brother." Said Bill.

"Now you'll see what it feels like to be an outcast in your own family." Percy said.

Charlie just shook his head and apparated out of the office.

My whole family other than Mum has turned their backs on me. I definitely regret doing it now. I'd do anything to get that back.

Arthur led Ron away to the dementors waiting for him at the Ministry. Ron took one look back towards Hermione. "I did it because I love you."

Have to leave you there. It's late and I have to go to bed.
