YN POV

Death is an odd concept.
The grief, the mourning, the acceptance.
I always new one day it would happen to someone I loved. But I never thought it would be this soon.

The cold air hit my bare legs as I stood by the caskets, sending shivers through my body.
"Y/n" Ron whispers as he approaches behind me, wrapping an arm around my back.
I hadn't cried.
I hadn't slept.
I hadn't ate.
I was numb. Even Ron's touch, which usually filled me to the brim with butterflies, felt distant and pointless.

"They were just here." I muttered. Ron glances up at me in surprise. He takes my hand, guiding me away from the small funeral crowd.

We walk in a comfortable silence, our footsteps falling into sync as we make our way to a small bench by the memorial lake. The frozen trees surround the still water, icicles make the sunlight split into beautiful rays that surround us like halos of gold. Ron's green eyes are still wet with tears from the funeral. He gives me a weak smile, the rose colored blush returning to his cheeks as the brisk air blows by.

I stand to walk away, not knowing why I feel the need to just keep going. Almost needing to just run away from everything, as if the emotions won't catch up to me if I keep moving away from them. I start walking down the edge of the pond, my breath growing cold from the winter air.

Suddenly I get abruptly pulled back, a firm hand holding my arms as I turn back to face Ron. He wraps his arms around me, my head sinking into his chest and his forehead resting on my shoulder. The feeling of his embrace did something inside me. As if my glass heart broke and I could finally feel something again. A flood of emotions hit me as I sob into him. His whispers in my ear bringing me to fall into him, my body shaking with cries. How did all of this happen? I had thought I lost everything, but I hadn't realized that he was still there. The love of my life, who never left my side. My Ron.

Standing there, freezing cold in his arms, sobbing into him, I had never felt loved like that. Nobody could make me feel what he does. Even in my darkest hour, he somehow makes me feel lit up inside, like he's a bright light that always seems to shine and find me when I need it most. He makes me whole again, he makes me feel.

Finding out those death eaters burned my house down and killed my parents was the hardest thing I'd ever been through, but having Ron by my side made it a million times easier. I really have met the love of my life.
