Because Of Him~2 (Draco Malfoy)

Chapter 37~Doe In The Woods

Ron and I didn't talk to each other for the next whole day as I think we both were feeling extremely guilty about the events from the night before..

It still felt wrong on so many levels.. So I spent the whole day sitting by the window watching the light snow fall; thinking about Draco while Ron messed around with his Dilluminator, I leaned my head against the glass window as sighed resulting in the glass becoming partially foggy as seeps of light from the setting sun started bleeding into the dark room and yet again another whole day had passed where Ron and I sat around doing nothing.

"Haley.. Haley" Ron hissed, the first words he had spoken all day

"What?" I asked slowly turning around to face him. There was a bright ball of light coming out of his dilluminator making it's way towards Ron, I could hear voices coming from it, they were definitely recognizable as Hermione's and Harry's

"Get our stuff" Ron instructed trying not to move a muscle, I grabbed the only bag that we had before walking back towards him

"What are you doing?" I questioned

"Grab my shoulder" He said as the bright ball seemed to be entering him I furrowed my eyes brows before lightly touching his shoulder.. and then we were gone.

We ended up in a dark forest, with nobody in sight.. It was completely silent, not a sound. "They'll turn up" Ron said as he sat against a tree. I furrowed my eyebrows once again aswell as crossing my arms

"What do you mean they'll turn up?" I said sternly "You just apparated us into the dark woods with only a hope that Hermione and Harry will just magically turn up?"

"You saw what my dilluminator did.. I didn't even think of where to go.. It just brought us here" Ron argued

"Snatchers could be out here" I hissed but Ron just ignored me. I rolled my eyes before I slid down against a tree that sat directly in front of Ron

"Haley I think we should talk" Ron whispered "About last night"

"What is there to talk about?" I asked quietly

"Well, when we you know I just-" Ron started to ramble

"No Ron, we were drunk.. it- it wasn't anything else.. we were just upset" I tried to convince him but I wasn't just trying to convince Ron I was also trying to convince myself. That what happened between us was just a drunken mistake... but was it really?

"I guess you're right.." He said looking at the ground. I nodded before I started to close my eyes again drifting off into an extremely light sleep.

I was awoken by a bright light.. I opened my eyes to see a doe potronas directly in front of me. I stood up quickly before shooting a look at Ron who seemed to still be asleep.

"Ron" I called out as he started to stir awake, He flinched before standing straight up at the sight of the doe

"I think he wants us to follow it" I said

"Alright" Ron said facing the doe "Go on" The doe bowed it''s head before it darted through the forest.. Ron and I looked at each other before running after the doe..

I don't know how long we were running but it was long enough for me to become out of breath.. I was about to stop myself when the doe finally stopped in front of a frozen pond..

We I looked at each other again before the doe faded away.. That was when we noticed a large hole in the middle of the pond.

"Oh no" I said as Ron began to remove his shirt "What are you doing?"

"Going in" Ron replied

"No Ron you can't do that.. what if this is a trap?" I said

"Stop me" Ron scoffed before walking to the hole and simply jumping in. I waited anxiously, what would I do if Ron never came out? What would I tell Harry and Hermione if I ever found them again?

I paced in front of the wand and even started to remove my shoes so I could possibly jump in as well. But that was when I heard a huge splash. It was Ron and..

"Harry!" I said worried as I helped Ron drag Harry back to land. Ron stood off the the side as I handed Harry his glasses that I now noticed were sitting on a rock near us. He squinted as his view cleared

"Haley?" He questioned "Ron? That was you?"

"Are you mental?" Ron questioned In disbelief

"You guys cast the doe as well?" Harry asked

"No I thought it was you" Ron answered

"His potronas is a stag" I said as Harry and Ron both looked at me questionably "What? I remember from when he taught us the charm.." They both turned their heads as Harry gathered his things putting his shirt back on.
