[RON'S POV]


I shouldn't have left. This time I think I messed up for good. I had to talk to Lavender, so I met her in the garden. "Hey Lavender-" "My Won-Won! What's up, you seem worried." We sat and I looked at her sadly. "Look, you're an amazing person, but I think that is better if we stay just friends-" She was now mad. "That is all beacuse of that Potter girl, Bella isn't it?!" I look down.

"I knew it! Since she got back here you've been all strange. Have you been cheating on me with her?" "What? No! I could never do that to you Lavender. It's just that this is not fair for both of us." She nods. "I agree, friends?" She extends her hand and I shake it. "Friends."

As I turn around, I feel something hitting my head, like a rock, and then I hear the spell Bewitched  sleep, and I fall on the ground.

[GINNY'S POV]

I am sitting next to Ron, at the Hospital Wing. Lanvender Brown hit him with a huge rock on his head and he is now unconscious. I hate that girl, she hit my brother and stole him from Bella! Harry came in and sat next to me. "How is he Gin?" "He wasn't woken up yet. I'm really starting to worry." He hugged me. "Don't be, I'm sure he will be fine. But why did Lavender hit him exactly?"

"Oh, he broke up with her." Harry laughed. "Finally!" "Yeah, and then she hit-" Bella came in. "Hey guys, how is he?" I smiled at her, she was really worried. "As I said earlier, he still hasn't woken up."

She stands next to him and pushes a chair. Then, Dumbledore comes in with Snape. What are Santa and oily hair doing here? "Poppy, how is the boy?" "I'm afraid he has an injury on his head, Albus."

"Poor boy-" As Madam Pomfrey speaks, Lavender comes in, all worried. "How's my Won-Won doing?" She looked at Bella in disgust. "What are you doing here? You little-" "Miss Brown, that kind of language is completely inappropriate."

"Sorry headmaster." Bella turns to her. "What are you doing here Brown?" "I happen to be his girlfriend!" "And I happen to be his, friend!"

Ron mumbles something. "See? Won-Won can feel my presence. " "Bella... Bella." Lavender looks at Bella and runs crying. We all laugh and Bella holds Ron's hand smiling. "It was about time, don't you think?" I turn to Harry. "Absolutely agree, I just want to see my sissy happy and if it is with my best friend, it's even better!"

"So do I, Bella is finally going to be an official Weasley! I have to tell mom to make you another Weasley sweater!" Bella blushes. "Guys calm down, we don't even know if he likes me back." "Only if it's you who doesn't know, because we're sure." Ginny mocks me and Harry laughs.

Then Hermione walks in and hugs Harry. "How is he?" she says and looks at Bella and Ron, then smiles. "What about Lavender?" Harry turns at her. "It's all solved. Don't worry." 

Hermione laughs. "Me, worry about that fugly blonde rat? Never." Bella laughs and we all look at eachother. "Guys, I think that is time to leave the lovebirds alone." And we leave Ron and Bella alone.

[BELLA'S POV]

I was alone with Ron on Hospital Wing. I feel asleep and, when I woke up, I felt someone caressing my head. Then I heard Ron's voice and remebered I was still in Hospital Wing. "Are you alright Bellacopter?" My heart melted when I heard him calling me by the nickname he gave me when we were 8. He didn't call me that in years.

"Everything's alright Pumpkin." We laughed. "We gave eachother that nicknames  seven years ago, how come you still remeber then Bellacopter?" I smiled. "I could never forgive something that came from you, Pumpkin."

[FLASHBACK]

*Seven years ago, at the burrow*

"Ron, look what I can do!" And Bella spins with her dress, looking like a helicopter. Ron laughs. "You look like a helicopter." "What's a helicopter?" Bella asks confused, the Durselys never taught her that.

"It's a Muggle thing. It's like a car without wheels. And it flies with some stuff called propellers, they work just like what you did with your arms. My dad taught me that that." "That's really cool Ron, you're so smart!" Young Ron blushes, even when they were little kids he was in love with her.

"T-thanks. Look, I imitate a helicopter too!" As Ron says that he starts spining and falls with his head inside a pumkin and Bella runs to him worried. "Are you okay Ron?" He looks at her and Bella bursts out laughing. 

"You look so cute! From now onwards, I'll be calling you Pumpkin!" Molly comes out of the kitchen and takes a picture of him, laughing and hugging eachother.

[END OF FLASHBACK]

"I remeber it as it was yesterday!" Ron says and Bella laughs. "Me too, it was too funny to forget." We smile and he hugs me. "Bella, I'm really sorry for being a jerk earlier, and well these last years." He looked like he really meant it. "It's okay, I've messed up a couple of times too." 

We laugh in nervosism. "But what about Lavender-" "I broke up with her after talking to you. That's why she hit me. It's you Bella, it's always been you." I look at him in the eyes and blush. "I love you too Ron." Then, after two years, always feeling like it was the first time, he kissed me.
