The Veela and The Red-Head

Astronomy Tower

Ron's POV

Harry had to leave with Dumbledore because of his lessons. Me, Hermione, Pansy, Blaise, Neville, and Draco were all sitting around playing games to pass the time. "Babe, your turn," Draco said putting his hand on my knee.

"Sorry, Pansy truth or dare?" I asked looking at Pansy who was leaning her head on Hermione's shoulder.

"Truth," she said with a soft smile as Hermione rubbed her leg.

"Do you love Hermione?" I asked with a smile as Draco put his head on my shoulder.

"Of course I do," she said as she looked down at her and kissed her cheek.

"Your turn, Pans," Hermione said with a smile as she looked up at her.

The game went on until Draco cleared his throat and got up. "What's wrong?" I asked as he moved off to the toilet.

"Toilet," he said simply as he pointed at the door.

"I'm coming with you," I said as I noticed the pained expression he had. He didn't argue as he crossed the room and went into the toilet, I followed after I set my drink down and walked in to him cradling his left arm.

"Babe?" I asked frantically as tears rolled down his face.

"It hurts so bad," he mumbled as he kept himself from crying out.

"Can I help? Is it-is it Voldemort?" I asked slowly as he tightened his grip around his arm and groaned.

"Yes, he's summoning me...it must be time," he mumbled the last part as he clutched the sink and grimaced.

"Time for what?" I asked as I grabbed his waist and held him close to my chest as he started crying.

"He wants me to kill Dumbledore, he must be on his way back and Voldemort's here with the Death Eaters." He said through choked sobs, I sighed and kissed his forehead as he balled his fists in my shirt.

"Then go, I understand what you have to do and why so just go I'll be here waiting for you to get back." I said as his body shook with newly forming sobs.

"What will you tell the others?" He asked as he looked up at me.

"I'll think of something," I said with a soft smile. He smiled and nodded before wrapping his arms around my neck and kissed me softly, I backed him into the wall with a loud thud and held him up by his arse.

"I should go," he said when he pulled away slightly so his lips brushed mine when he spoke.

"I'll miss you," I said softly before I set him down gently.

"I'll miss you too," he said before leaning in for another kiss. I smiled softly before I made him release my neck, he sighed and walked out of the bathroom into the living area of our dorm where everyone was pacing.

"Finally! Voldemort's here, he's marked Hogwarts," Hermione said frantically before looking at Draco with a gasp. "Have you been crying?"

"No, it's nothing, I have to go I'll see you later," he said as he squeezed my hand and walked out.

"What's happened?" Blaise asked tiredly as he rubbed his face.

"He had no choice that's what happened." I said as I sat on the couch, Neville sat next to me and rubbed my back with a sigh.

"We have to help somehow," Blaise said with devastation in his tone.

"There is no way we can help, this is how it has to happen and we can't interfere with it," Hermione said sadly turning to Pansy with a sad look upon her face. "We're going to stay here till Draco gets back, if Draco gets back."

"Don't say it like that, he'll come back and then we'll have to leave to hunt down the horcruxes," I said turning to Hermione with a sigh. "Like you said, that's the way it has to happen."

"Everything will be ok, Ron, you just have to believe it for yourself," Pansy said rubbing my hand. "I know it's hard right now, but this is war, to defeat the Dark Lord people have to die. You and Draco will be ok during all of this, I know that for a fact."

"How?" I asked holding back tears at the thought of Draco being one of the people to die in the war.

"Because you're all he talks about, when he's not talking about how he hates his father he's talking about you." Pansy said with a soft smile putting her hand on her knee, I smiled and stood up.

"I'm going to take a nap, wake me up when Draco gets back," I said walking towards the bedroom door with a wave.

Oof I forgot about this story, we all know what happens in the astronomy tower so I won't be putting that in here so I can get this out quicker. I hope Ron and Draco are ok during the war, anyway how you guys?
