Summer Love - Ron Weasley

50 - Time to Hide

I wake up to someone knocking at my door. I groan and roll over, reaching for my night robe.

I hop off my bed and wrap my robe around me. I walk to the door and I open it. Dean is standing on the other side. I look up and he has a weird look on his face.

"Dean, what's wrong?" I ask, rubbing my eyes.

"I-It's Harry. Something happened and he needs you." Dean stammers out.

I smack my forehead and open the door slightly.

"W-Where's Ron? Or Hermione? Or even Ginny? I was sleep." I mumble.

Dean comes in and softly shuts the door.

"They're with him. He asked me to come get you." Dean says.

I roll my eyes and walk over to my closet. I pull out my oversized jumper and my fuzzy booties.

I slip off my robe and pull my jumper over my head. I slip on my booties and turn towards the door. Dean looks over at me and practically breaks his neck.

"How did you do that so fast?" Dean queries, rubbing his eyes.

"You've never snuck out of a hotel after a drunken sex with your ex and it shows." I state with a chuckle.

He rolls his eyes and follows me out the door. We walk down the stairs and into the common room.

We walk back up the stairs, these ones leading to the boy's dormitories. We make it to the boys' room and Dean opens the door. I peak my head in as everybody stares at me.

"Hey, I've been summoned?" I joke.

Hermione nudges her head towards Harry and I nod. I walk in and sit down on the edge of his bed. Harry pulls me closer to him and wraps me in a hug.

We just sit here for a minute, our arms wrapped around one another's body. He begins to quietly cry and I stroke his hair.

"I almost killed him." Harry whispers.

"Who?" I question.

"Crabbe. I followed him to the bathroom and I used a spell from my book. I didn't know what the spell did." Harry mumbles, looking up at me with tears in his eyes.

I wipe them and I stroke his hair again.

"It's okay. He'll be fine, right?" I query.

Harry nods at me and wipes his eyes again.

"Yeah. Snape did some sort of healing spell and the wounds and blood quickly disappeared." Harry tells me.

We sit her again, the comfortable silence too good to break. Ginny walks over and looks up at me. I switch spots with her as she sits down next to Harry.

"You need to get rid of it. Today." Ginny turns to Harry.

He nods and stands up. Ginny tells him where he can hide it and they walk together.

I decide to follow them and I make my way down the stairs. They leave through the common room and out of the Fat Lady's Portrait.

I creep behind them as they walk through the corridor. They walk to the 3rd floor and stop in front of the wall.

I realize they're going to hide the book in the Room of Requirement. Ginny holds out her hand to Harry.

"Take my hand." Ginny tells him, giving him a small smile.

Harry hesitantly grabs her hand as the doors appear and they walk in. As soon as the doors closed behind them, they disappear.

I decide to stand out there and keep watch in case a teacher or someone came back. I'm startled as someone walks up behind me.
