Chapter 46

"You're lucky I love you two- because you are both idiots" she whispered with a small laugh making me and Harry pout.

"Oculus Reparo"

"Brings back memories" Harry smiled putting his glasses on and slinging an arm over my shoulder and then one over Mione's.

Ron's POV
(The next day - Tuesday)

"I don't think I can do this any longer Harry!" I cried as I hugged who I thought was Harry. It wasn't.

"It's ok Ron, you don't have to do something you don't want to" the soft voice said as she rubbed my back. I looked up surprised as Luna gave me a soft smile. I backed away from her and slightly blushed rubbing my eyes.

"I'm sorry Luna, I thought you were Harry, he went this way so when I heard footsteps around the corner I just assumed" I said shyly and she shrugged.

"It's ok, I don't mind. We are friends after all, do you want another hug?" she asked opening her arms and I nodded, tightly hugging her.

"Thanks Luna, I really needed this" I said as I took in her calm aura.

"Do you want to talk about it Ron?" she asked as she rubbed my back.

I really did want to talk about it with someone but I don't think I'm aloud to talk about it with Luna, it could put the Slytherins' in danger and I really didn't want that.

"I don't think I can Luna, it's really not my place to say anything" I whispered and she nodded her understanding. I then heard footsteps and looked up to see Harry walking towards us from behind Luna. Luna turned as well and smiled when she seen him.

"Good afternoon Harry! I think you should probably take this from here, I'm not much help" she said with a small giggle as she let go of me and Harry looked confused but nodded as he came to my side.

"Luna, you did help a lot! Thank you!" I shouted as she walked away with a smile. As soon as she was gone though I turned to Harry and wrapped him in a hug.

"Harry I'm breaking" I said feeling my heart throb. It's been doing this non-stop since Blaise left. Harry hugged me back and sighed.

"Me too Ron. This is hard" he said with a humorless chuckle. I looked up at him and looked over his features. He had bags under his eyes, his hair was sticking up in odd places, more then usual that is, and his glasses were crooked from him falling asleep at random times with them on and not caring to fix them.

He gave me a weak smile as his eyes started to gloss over. My heart broke as I hugged him tighter. I hated that this was affecting us this much, even Mione was falling behind on her homework.

"I miss him so much" Harry cried as I started to tear up. I couldn't do anything but try and comfort him and it was killing me. We stayed like that for awhile until we pulled apart hearing footsteps coming down the hall. It was Mione.

She was slowly walking down towards us, which was very rare seeming as she has always been a very fast paced person in order to be on time. She stopped right in front of us and I looked at her features as well.

She too had eye bags and red tinted eyes. Her hair was in a frizzy ponytail and she hadn't brushed it in the past two days.

"You have Quidditch practice soon" she said with a tired tone which still surprised me because I was so used to her stern voice whenever she told us off. I missed it.

"I'm not going" Harry said immediately wiping his eyes. Hermione sighed and tried to straighten her wrinkled clothes.

"You haven't been the past two days. You should go" she said carelessly while leaning against the wall, but obviously she didn't care less what we did. If she did she'd make no room for an argument.
