The Boy Who Protected

The Three Hallows

Kaden POV:

After the horcrux's were destroyed, I went over and picked up the locket that was containing part of Mary's soul and held it up to see the magic leaving it. The four of us made our way back to our campsite with us talking about the things Ron missed since he stormed off. I was looking at the now destroyed locket in my hand thinking about how I'm one of these and how in order for Mary Riddle to die, I also have to die so everyone else can live.

When we got closer to the campsite, the girls came out of the tent and looked at the now four of us as Aurora ran to me and gave me a deep kiss after she jumped into my arms forcing me to catch her which I happily did.

"Where were you? We were all so worried." She said cupping my face.

"Darling, were fine. We have something to show you though." I said giving her another kiss. "We also brought in a stray."

"A stray?" Hermione asked.

Ron came into view and smiled slightly and awkwardly waving. Aurora, Bella, and Naomi were glaring at him while Hermione turned into... Angry Hermione.

"Hey..." He said nervously.

Hermione uncrossed her arms and walked up to Ron who was still smiling awkwardly before Hermione did the one thing I never thought she would do... Hermione Granger turned to violence.

*SLAP*

"YOU... COMPLETE... UTTER... ARSEHOLE RONALD WEASLEY!" Hermione shouted at him while still hitting him. "You come back here after all these weeks and just say, Hey!?"

Harry and I couldn't help it, we burst out laughing at Ron being on the wrong end of angry Hermione. We kept laughing until Hermione turned her gaze on both of us which got us to stop laughing instantly and cough out of awkward nervousness.

"Where's Naomi's wand? Where's Naomi's wand!?" Hermione shouted walking up to Harry and I causing us to back up into a tree.

"How come you have Naomi's wand?" Ron asked Harry as Hermione stared at him with fury.

"Nevermind why Harry has my sisters wand... What is that?" Hermione asked as her eyes fell on the now destroyed horcrux in Ron's hand.

"And how exactly is it you have the sword of Gryffindor?" Hermione asked.

"Quite a long story, 'Mione." I said.

She glared at me before she turned her attention back to Ron.

"Don't think this changes anything Ronald." Hermione said angrily.

"No, of course not. Only Kaden and I destroyed bloody freaking horcrux's. Why would that change anything? Do you know what it was like for me to hear those words coming from you!? Then you getting it on with Harry!"

"What words?" Hermione asked in an angry tone.

"Hold on, back up. Harry, you were cheating on me!?" Naomi said.

"What happened out there?" Aurora asked.

"Even longer story." Sirius said.

"Did you destroy Mary's?" Aurora asked me quietly.

I held up the new destroyed horcrux for her to see. Aurora laid her head on my chest as she wrapped her arms around me tightly.

"I thought you couldn't wield the sword yet." Bella asked.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures." I said .

"Look, I wanted to come back the minute I left." Ron said. "I just... Didn't know how to find you lot."
