The Forgotten Sibling ~ Ron Weasley

Ron's Pov

I woke up the next morning completely forgetting where I was. I freaked out until I realized, I had ran away from home and is staying with a boy named Lucas in his flat.
I sat up, rubbed my eyes and grabbed my phone. It was 9:07am. I'm shocked, I never wake up that early, I usually sleep until like what? 1:00pm? Yeah, around that time.

My stomach growled, I hadn't eaten in 24 hours. The last time I ate was breakfast yesterday, then I skipped both lunch and dinner. I got out of the comfy mattress and headed down the hallway to see Lucas sitting on the couch, he was reading a book. I instantly thought of Hermione whenever she would read in the common room.

"Morning." I grumbled.

"Good morning, not much of a morning person are you?" Lucas looked up from his book.

"Eh, not really I usually like sleeping in most of the time." I said, he just nodded.

"You should probably eat breakfast." He told me.

"Ok." There was a box of cereal on the kitchen counter. I guess I'll eat cereal.

After I finished eating, I was about to head to the room I was staying in. Instead, Lucas motioned for me to sit on the couch. I quickly turned around and sat next to him.

"So Ron, tell me a bit about yourself, I wanna know who I'm temporarily living with." He chuckled, I just smiled.

"Well...there's not much about me, I'm 18, my birthday is March 1st. I have six siblings, 5 brothers and 1 sister. I'm the least favorite out of my family, and yeah. That's that." Lucas just nodded. "So, tell me about you."

"I'm 19, my birthday is actually February 23rd, I have a sister who is about the same age as you, I play the guitar, and yeah."

"Nice," I said. "Hey Lucas?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you know any places where I can work? I don't have that much money." I mumbled the last part.

"Actually yeah, I um own a coffee shop." I just looked at him. "Surprise..."

"That's great! Can you hire me?"

"Yeah sure, it depends how well you do today."

"Alright, when do we leave?"

"It opens at 10, I'd say about 30 minutes?" I nodded.

I exited the living room and went to the guest room. I put on a pair of dark blue jeans and a grey sweatshirt. "Hurry up Ron!" I heard Lucas say, I exited the room and we went to the coffee shop.

Once we got there, we saw other workers.

"I'll introduce you." I just nodded nervously. "Don't worry, everyone's kind here." He smiled. I tried smiling back.

"Everyone staff meeting in the back." Lucas said, everyone nodded and went back. "Follow me."

"So we have a new worker joining us today, meet Ron um, what's your last name?" Lucas whispered the last couple of words.

"It's um, it's not important, I'm just Ron." I whispered back.

"Okay, well Ron will be joining us today, treat him with respect. Alright, Natalia give Ron his uniform." Natalia nodded and went up to Ron.

"Alright follow me!" Natalia smiled. I nodded and followed the short girl with curly brown hair towards the very back of the room.

"Here's your uniform, try it on, make sure it fits well." Natalia handed me a blue apron, I put it on.
