Ron Weasley x Reader (3rd Year)

Chapter 4

"Everyone is sleeping here tonight, so don't bother going back to your common rooms!" Dumbledore said right after dinner ended. "We will have sleeping bags out and you will be sleeping on the floor." Everyone groaned and watched as the teachers cleared everything out and got sleeping bags prepared.

Harry slept between Emily and Fred while (y/n) slept between Hermione and Ron so they wouldn't have any little arguments about Crookshanks. She turned to the side where Ron was to see him already looking at her. He smiled and she gave a faint smile back.

"Something wrong (Y/n)?" Ron asked, looking concerned. "Well, I'm worried."

"About what?"

"About Sirius Black, the mass murderer breaking in. About keeping Harry and Emily alive. About the five of us staying together."

"There's nothing to worry about. Dumbledore has it all under control."

"Are you sure?" (y/n) said while faintly hearing the sound of the giant entrance doors locking up.

"Positive. Now, you go to sleep. We're going to Hogsmeade tomorrow." (y/n) still looked a little tense. "Hey, it's ok," Ron said while looking deep into (y/n)'s eyes. "I'll protect you."

The next day they were allowed back into their common rooms in order to get ready for Hogsmeade. "What should I wear?" (y/n) asked. "I need to look good for Ron."

"Why should you try to change for a guy, just be yourself," Emily said. "I don't change for Fred."

"Yeah well that's Fred we're talking about," Hermione said. "This is a little bit different. Come on (y/n), I'll help you pick out an outfit," she said while grabbing (y/n)'s hand and leading her to the closet. After they were dressed, they headed downstairs.

"Bloody hell girls, what took you so long?" Ron asked while looking at (y/n) and Hermione. "Emily was down here hours ago."

"Only because she and Fred couldn't stand being without each other," (y/n) said with a grin. Fred was about to protest but George interrupted. "It's true mate."

"Are we going to Hogsmeade now or...." Ron said. "Yeah, we should get going," Hermione said. "Don't want to keep Ron waiting," she whispered into (y/n)'s ear.

"Sorry you guys can't go, maybe Mcgonogall will sign your papers," Ron said to Harry and Emily while they were leaving.

When they got to Hogsmeade they visited all the classic shops; Honeydukes, Zonko's Joke Shop, Spintwitches. "You know what," Hermione said. "I forgot to get something in Honeydukes. Why don't you two go for a walk?"

"Yeah, ok," (y/n) said. (y/n) and Ron walked and talked for a while until Ron suggested to go into the woods for a little. "(y/n), I've been meaning to tell you something."

"Yeah sure, what is it?" (y/n) asked, her heart rate accelerating at the moment.

"Um, would you mind helping me with my potions homework later?" (y/n) stood there in disbelief, unable to say a word or even move. "Uh, yeah sure."

"Hey, what's that over there?" Ron asked while pointing at a wooden, broke down building.

"That's the Shrieking Shack," (y/n) said.

"Oh, are you two shopping for your new dream home?" Malfoy asked. "Shut up Malfoy." Ron said while clenching his fists and teeth. "Why would you want to be with him when you could be with a guy like me (y/n)?" Draco asked.

"Leave her out of this!" Ron said while raising his voice.

"And what are you going to do about it?" All of a sudden, Draco's pants got pulled down to his ankles and snowballs were thrown at Crabbe and Goyle. Once Draco and his gang ran away, the mysterious force started messing with Ron's hat and (y/n)'s hair.

"Harry and Emily, reveal yourself." (y/n) said with a smirk. They quickly pulled the cloak off and looked at (y/n) and Ron with grins. "What the bloody hell guys!" Ron said. Emily smirked, she was glad that she snuck out with Harry.

TIME SKIP

   It was a quiet night and all you could hear was the fire crackling in the fireplace of the Gryffindor common room. (Y/n) and Hermione were sitting by the fire having a little girl chat. Little did (y/n) know that Ron was spying on them. Since Hermione knew that Ron always came out and sat on the stairs, she had (y/n) come out to the common room to talk to her about Ron.

"So," Hermione said "How have things been with Ron?" Once Ron heard this, he immediately lifted his head from his hands. "I don't know," (y/n) sighed. "I don't think he likes me. Actually, I don't think he ever liked me or ever will."

"Aw (y/n)," Hermione said "You'll find a guy whether it be Ron or not." (y/n) didn't know what to say or think. Before she knew it, hot salty tears were streaming down her face.

"You don't need a guy to be happy (y/n). I'm here for you, Emily's here for you." Hermione held her arms out for (y/n) to hug her. (Y/n) gradually accepted it and cried into her shoulder. Meanwhile, Ron was sitting on the steps, silently shaming himself.

"I should've asked her out. She liked me all along but I was too scared and dumb to make a move. Bloody hell! Why am I so stupid?"

(Y/n) slowly trudged up the stairs. She was almost to the top when she paused, seeing a red head on the steps.

"Ron?!"

"Uh-uh-I."

(Y/n) started to cry harder and ran to the door.

"(Y/n), wait!" Ron pleaded but it was too late. Ron suddenly broke down on the floor with his head in his hands. "I've like her all this time but I was too scared to tell her." Ron said to Hermione.

"I figured that out ever since we were in the Great Hall sleeping when you said you would protect (y/n). I knew that you liked her so I set this up because I thought that you would come out and tell her but I was wrong."

All of a sudden the portrait swung open and Emily and Harry walked in.

"What happened here?" Harry asked.

"It looks like a tornado of feelings and tears hit the common room," Emily said.
