Lost In Harry Potter

Harry Must Battle this Alone

I woke up the following day and went about my day until lunch time when I had to meet with Harry. I sat down at the bench and waited for Harry to arrive.

"He's not coming." I heard someone say.

I turned to see that it was Ronald.

"How?"

"He did not receive the letter that you sent that said you would meet with him. He was in the shower and I took it from Hedwig myself. As best I could without her biting me."

"It's quite easy when she likes you and believe that you are loyal to Harry. I wonder what you could have done to show her that you wouldn't be loyal to him."

Ronald sat down beside me "I don't get you."

Sighing I replied "What is it about me that you do not get, Ronald." 

I was trying my best to be nice and not provoke anything.

"Why can't we get along with each other?"

"Psst, because of our names I guess. You can't seem to get past my last name. Let's not forget that you have always been rude to me even without my last name."

"Hey! I tried being kind to you when we first meet. You still told me you didn't want to be my friend."

"Ronald, I am not in the mood to fight with you. Its best that we just leave it how it is for Harry's sake, and you should never have read my letter to Harry."

"All it said..."

"I know what it said!" I got up to leave but Ronald grabbed my wrist.

"I am trying to understand how you can be friends with everyone else but me Elizabeth."

I gasps in surprise, he was truly trying to get me to be friends with him.

I swallowed and replied "Fine, prove to me your loyalty to Harry. Something is going to happen soon and Harry will need your help if he survives it without being harmed. I will try my best to be kind to you, but I can't promise you friendship yet."

"It's a start I'll take it."

"You can start by telling Harry the truth of what you did and how you tricked me into the deal. Tell him that I hope to see him before his detention. If I don't see him Ronald I will go back to calling you Weasel. Am I making myself clear to you?"

"Yes, stay here he'll want to see you and make sure we didn't kill each other as soon as he hears."

I nodded and he walked away it was at least ten minutes later when Harry showed up and out of breath. 

I smiled just before saying "He was right that you would come running to check on me."

He nodded then sat down beside me he was still trying to catch his breath. I began to giggle just by watching him and he glared at me knowing that I was laughing at him.

"Sorry, but look at you," I sighed, "your out of breath because you came running just to make sure that Ronald didn't hurt me. As you can see I'm just fine you could have walked."

"Beth, I worry about you. You and Ron can never play nice so please don't laugh at me for being like this."

"Fine. Whatever." I leaned my head on his shoulder. "Be careful tonight. There are a lot of dangerous things out there. Don't let my brother be a coward out there."

"It's weird how you talk sometimes. Like you know what's about to happen but doing everything you can not to give me too much information. Beth, what's going on?"
