Universe: Harry Potter
Prompt: Harry Potter doesn't forgive ron Weasley for abandoning him when his name was pulled from the goblet of fire
In the dimly lit Gryffindor common room, Harry's eyes bore into Ron's, resentment simmering beneath the surface. The air crackled with tension as Ron stammered out an apology for abandoning Harry when his name emerged from the Goblet of Fire.
"You left me to face that dragon alone," Harry's voice was cold, his usual warmth replaced by a lingering sense of betrayal. Ron's regret-filled eyes met Harry's, but the damage was done.
Their friendship strained, the halls of Hogwarts echoed with the echoes of their fractured bond. Harry's trust, once unshakable, now lay shattered like a broken charm. The Triwizard Tournament unfolded, but the camaraderie that defined the trio was conspicuously absent.
The Yule Ball came and went, with Harry and Ron's interactions reduced to curt nods. Hermione, torn between her two friends, struggled to mend the widening breach. Yet, Harry's wounds ran deep, and forgiveness remained elusive.
As the maze's hedges closed in during the final task, a metaphor for the growing distance between Harry and Ron, their eyes locked one last time. The Triwizard Cup gleamed tantalizingly in the distance, but victory offered no solace for the fractured friendship.
The end of the school year approached, and as Harry prepared to leave Hogwarts, the chasm between him and Ron seemed insurmountable. Hogwarts Express carried them back to the Muggle world, their compartment filled with an unspoken tension. The golden trio, now tarnished, faced an uncertain future.
Years passed, but the wounds lingered. Despite the passage of time, Harry couldn't forget the abandonment that marked his fourth year. The scar on his forehead wasn't the only reminder of the challenges he faced at Hogwarts.
On his 21st birthday, surrounded by well-wishers, Harry couldn't shake the memories of that tumultuous time. Ron's absence from the celebration spoke louder than any words, a silent testament to the friendship lost amidst the trials of the Triwizard Tournament.
