the boys of harry potter imagines.

ron weasley.

"please watch out!"
y/n warned as she pulled ron back by his collar,
helping him to avoid tripping over a first year.
ron let out a chuckle at the interaction,
"thanks, y/n. don't know where i'd be without you."
"probably dead. you're so accident-prone."
"but yet, here i am. all thanks to you."
y/n turned her head away from the boy to let the giddy smile play at her lips.
"well maybe if you would pay attention, there wouldn't be a need for me."
"yeah, i'm sure you'd find some other way to be protective of me,"
he teased and nudged the girl,
making her cheeks wild with heat.
ron and y/n's eyes locked for a split second just before he fell to his feet.
y/n let out a loud sigh,
"really?!"
"you distracted me,"
he defended as y/n helped him back up.
she examined his now scraped up palms,
"does it hurt?"
"y/n...i'm not a child. i'm fine, okay?"
he reassured.
she smiled sheepishly and continued her walk to class with him,
feeling rather embarrassed that she couldn't stop him from falling again.
***
"scabbers bit me,"
ron frowned as he sat himself on the grass.
y/n looked around and saw hermione and harry's face white with terror,
almost mirroring ron's look.
y/n quickly registered what was going on,
before harry called out.
"ron! move!"
then ron,
with his bottom lip quivering and his hands shaky,
pointed.
"harry, hermione, y/n, run! it's the grim!"
y/n looked at the dog behind them and knew it was headed for ron.
adrenaline shot through her veins as she rushed to grab ron and drag him to safety,
but the dog was quicker.
y/n heard a loud snap as the dogs teeth sank into rons leg,
making him yell loudly.
"ron! no!"
she wailed out and reached for his hand just before he was dragged beneath the tree.
but she was, yet again, too late.
"no! ron!"
she cried out for him,
trying to dig her way through to find him.
thoughts were pounding and rampant in her mind,
all of them being about ron and his safety.
***
"come on!"
hermione whispered harshly,
making y/n rise from her seat next to ron's hospital bed.
she joined with harry and hermione and felt the cold chain of the time turner wrap itself around her neck.
she drew in a deep breath and took one last look at ron,
who was miserable in the bed alone with a broken leg.
"he's going to be alone,"
y/n whispered as the room before them began to blur into the past few days.
"we'll be back soon,"
harry reminded as they took off near hagrids hut.
they sat behind the giant pumpkins now,
harry and hermione focused on the task before them but y/n was much too distracted.
"do you think he's going to be okay? he said madam pomfrey might have to cut his leg off. that's not true, is it?"
"don't be silly, y/n. of course it's not true!"
hermione answered,
her tone rather irritated.
"i can't believe i didn't get to him in time. maybe if i had-had been faster then he could be here right now with no injuries."
"none of us were going to be faster than sirius, y/n. he was going to get ron one way or another-as long as peter remained in his hands,"
harry reassured the girl.
"do you think he's going to be okay?"
"yes."
"how long do you think he'll be there?"
"a few days, at most."
"poor thing. do you th-"
"y/n!"
harry and hermione chorused together,
interrupting y/n's million questions about ron.
"what?"
"ronald will be perfectly fine. you have got to focus!"
"okay, i'm here,"
she mumbled and began helping hermione and harry to free buckbeak,
all while wondering what ron was doing at that exact moment.
***
the night finally came to an end,
leaving them to run back to the hospital room.
y/n ran a little faster than the others and burst through the door,
watching ron's face fall in surprise.
"how did you get there..."
he trailed off with a shaky finger pointing from her position to where she stood moments prior.
the girl let out a soft laugh and took her seat next to the bed,
examining his body.
"are you okay?"
"yeah. now..how did you-"
hermione was quick to explain their turn of events.
"and so we had to sit behind those giant pumpkins for what felt like hours!"
"yeah! and y/n couldn't stop talking about you! asking millions of questions, talking about how bad she felt,"
harry explained with a loud laugh.
y/n's whole body went hot and as ron turned his head to look at her,
the warmth only heightened.
"i'm sorry you missed out on another chance to protect me,"
he teased with a smile.
"shut up."
"i'll wait next time, i promise! if there's another scary dog waiting to tear my leg off, i'll wait around and let you catch up to save me."
"oh, shove off!"
she scoffed and sat back in her seat,
feeling rather angry.
"you do know i don't need you to protect me, right? i mean...it's cool and all that you want to but...i don't need it."
"well maybe if you weren't so hardheaded, you'd be careful enough for me to not to."
"i know but...i'm not a kid, y/n. you care too much,"
he joked and poked her shoulder playfully,
trying to brighten her mood.
"did you ever think maybe i care too much because i'm in love with you?"
she mumbled,
the anger fueling the words that were now spilling out of her mouth.
"but no! i don't even get a thank you!"
she continued while ron stood frozen in shock.
y/n sighed and turned her head away from ron,
both embarrassed and worried about what she had just admitted to.
she heard the closing of the hospital doors and realized hermione and harry had just left.
great.
now it's just us.
ron's hand founds it's way to y/n's,
where he held it gently.
"y/n?"
"hm?"
"i'm sorry. i didn't know you were trying to help me all the time because you....love me,"
he swallowed hard but continued as y/n's hand squeezed his reassuringly.
"i truly am sorry, y/n. can you forgive me?"
she nodded her head with a gentle smile pulling at the corners of her lips.
"and...if it means anything, i always liked having you there to look out for me. even if you weren't always...successful, the fact you tried made it easier."
y/n let out a breathless laugh and laid her head on the spare bedding on the edge of his bed.
"really?"
she muttered.
"really,"
he reassured and ran a hand down her hair.
"i just didn't want people thinking i was a wimp for wanting you...or even needing you by my side. but, who cares what they think?"
y/n looked up at him and locked eyes with him again,
realizing the hint of gold that shined in the right light.
"i love you,"
his voice was soft and barely audible,
but it was loud enough for y/n's heart to skip several beats.
"y/n, will you be my girlfriend?"
"of course!"
she giggled and pulled him closer to her,
although carefully,
and hugged him tight.
ron relished in the feeling of her body so close to his.
he suddenly felt every burden lift off of his shoulders at that exact moment.
he knew, just as well as y/n did, that no matter what troubles they faced,
it was bearable as long as they had each other.
