Harry rested for a moment before placing the locket on a rock in front of us. "It's only right if you do it" Harry said to Ron who was still holding the sword of Gryffindor.. the real thing.. the thing that could destroy horcrux's.
Ron looked at Harry and I questionably before he took the sword to open it. Harry motioned for me to stand to the side as the two boys moved to opposite sides of the locket.
"Harry- I can't, don't open it" Ron said, his voice full of fear.
"Why not?" Harry questioned "It's been months.. let's just get rid of the damn thing"
"Harry.. this thing, it makes me think things.. terrible things, It doesn't affect me like the rest of you.. worse" Ron said looking down at the locket
"That's why you need to destroy it Ron" I said "Get rid of it once and for all" Ron looked at me before he nodded.
"Ready?" Harry questioned "One, Two, Three.. open" The locket quickly opened revealing the inside light illuminated out and was shaking like It was about to explode "Stab" Harry said.. But then the locket started to speak I've seen your heart Ronald Weasley.. it's mine
"Don't listen to it Ron" I called out "Stab it" The locket now expoded in smoke as a face of Tom riddle appeared.
Rons hands were shaking as he starred at it
least loved by your mother who craved a daughter, least loved by the girl who prefers your best friend.. and your first love, who has fallen into love with your enemy.
My eyes widened as the locket said those words.. what could that mean.. and then there were four figures who appeared out of the locket.. the distorted smoky figures were those of.. Harry, Hermione, me, and... Draco.
Even though it wasn't real and he looked as odd as the rest of us, my eyes instantly filled with tears at even the idea of him.
I watched as the riddle- Harry figure began to speak
Why return Ron?.. we were better without you..who would ever look at you besides Harry Potter The riddle-Hermione figure spoke..
Then my figure looked up at Ron that's why I never noticed you Ron.. that's why I ignored you constantly at your many attempts to conceal my attention
Then the riddle-Draco figure smiled as he and I started to make out and the riddle-Hermione and riddle- Harry figures did too.
"Ron.. do it..stab it!" Ron looked at me.. my eyes widened at they met mine.. they were red.. like they were bleeding from the inside.. I froze
"Ron" Harry yelled out again.. Ron let out a scream as he ran forward smashing the locket with the sword..
Harry and I were both thrown back from the blast.. and then there was nothing, everything was silent once again.
I sat up from the ground examining my surroundings, that's when I saw Ron standing limply with the sword in his hands.
His eyes had returned back to normal, but he was still just staring down at the smashed locket. I stood up the cold leaves crunched underneath my feet as I rushed over to Ron who honestly looked more numb than I ever thought he could.
I looked up at him, but he didn't look down at me.. he was visibly shaking as he dropped the sword which made a dull clanging sound as it hit the solid rock below our feet.
I wrapped my arms around his torso as he crumbled to the ground taking me with him. I heard Harry messing with the broken locket before he came over to us.. putting his hand on Ron's shoulder.
"Ron, after you left.. Hermione cried for a week, maybe more.. we barely spoke with the two of you gone.. she is like a sister to me I've always felt that way.. I thought that you knew.." Harry said sympathetically
"I-I'm sorry" Ron said "I'm sorry for leaving.. and I'm sorry for taking you Haley.. It was selfish"
"It's ok..I would have gone with you anyway" I whispered pulling away from Ron who turned around and gave Harry a hug.
"Now all we have to do is find the tent" Harry said
But that wasn't hard.. Even though he doubted himself Harry knew exactly where to go to get back to the tent.. and even though it was a long walk It didn't seem long with Ron and Harry
Ron and I caught Harry up on everything that we had been doing while we were gone.. excluding a few details, like getting drunk the night before and the other intimate details that followed, but Hermione and Harry didn't need to know about that.. nobody did.
I felt excitement in my stomach as Harry told us we were drawing close.. I was so excited to finally be back with everyone after weeks of being separated... We walked the final stretch of woods before I could see the dim light of the tent coming into view..
"There It is" I whispered to Ron as I saw him lightly smile for the first time in a while
"Let me go in and get her" Harry said as Ron and I waited outside for the both of them to emerge
"Hermione.. Hermione!" Harry called out
"What is it Harry I'm sleeping.. are you alright?" I heard Hermione question
"Someone's here" Harry said His voice drawing closer
"who's here?" Questioned Hermione as she exited the tent, her eyes resting on Mine and Ron's, but there was no smile on her tired face.. no reaction she just stared blankly at us.
"Hey" Ron said smiling. Hermione thrashed Herself forward throwing herself into Ron as she started hitting and punching him as he attempted to hug her
"You complete arse Ronald Weasley!" She yelped "You show up here after weeks and say hey?"
"Hermione.. I'm sorry" Ron said
"Sorry.. sorry? weeks..for weeks and you think sorry is going to make it alright?" She asked before spinning around to me.
"And YOU, you said you were coming back.. but you decide to leave for as well" She yelled at me
"Hermione calm down.." Harry said
"I will do no such thing.. do you not see how ridiculous this all is?" She said to Harry
Hermione was mad at Ron and I for the whole night.. and even the next morning until we discovered something.. something important.
