The Battle

It's Over

You sat on a chair at the corner of the room for the next few hours, too scared to move. You had managed to write out a short letter to Harry, and sent it away with the owl. Looking around the room, you didnt know what to do. How long would Ron be away for? What if something happened to him? You felt physically sick. After a few moments, you decided enough was enough. You'd go to the Ministry yourself and find Ron.

You got up, and went to change your clothes. A summer dress in London at this time of year wasnt a good idea. You opened the wardrobe and grabbed a pair of jeans and a jumper. Just then, the brown owl flew through the window and landed on the bed, dropping a letter on the sheets. You rushed over and ripped it open.

y/n

Meet us at The Burrow!

Harry x

Butterflies shot through your stomach. It was time to go home. But what about Ron? Was he already there, you wondered. Maybe you should wait here just incase. You shook your head. You were being silly, Harry would know where Ron was. You got dressed and checked yourself in the mirror. For the first time in your life, you got ready to apperate with a smile on your face.

The Burrow appeared in front of you. From inside, you could hear music and laughter. You burst into a run, pushing the door open as you reached it.

The sight that met you was a welcomed one. Everyone was there, laughing, dancing, drinking. It felt like a true celebration. Harry rushed up to you, wrapping his arms round you and spinning you round.

"y/n! You did it!" he roared.

"Did what?!" you laughed as he put you down.

"You caught her! Its over!" he smiled. You blushed

"Aw no, I didnt do anything. I just..."

"Caught her!" Harry insisted, putting an arm round you and pulling you into the crowd. Molly was the next to fuss over you.

"Oh y/n, dear. Its so good to see you again!" she handed you a glass of wine, which you immediately took a sip of.

One by one, everyone greeted you. It was like you had been reunited with long lost family. You could feel your face beaming. After several minutes of mingling, you made your way back over to Harry. As soon as he saw you, he wrapped an arm round you. You could tell he had hit the drink hard, but you liked this side of him.

"Harry, wheres..." you began, but were soon interrupted.

"Oi, Potter. Get your hands off my girl!"

You spun round and spotted Ron stood at the bottom of the stairs, grinning over at the both of you. Harry laughed, moving his arm away and holding both hands up in defense. Ron moved over to you quickly, wrapping his arms round you and pulling you in for a deep, passionate kiss. You could hear some whistles coming from round the room, but you didnt care. You were just so relieved that he was ok. You pulled away from him after a few moments, and you both stared lovingly at each other.

Your gaze was interrupted by Sirius who was once again standing on a table, with a drink in hand.

"Oh, here we go" you heard Fred mutter to George. They both laughed.

Sirius jumped into a long and meaningful speech about The Order. He spoke briefly about Angus, then went on to talk about the future of the group, hoping that we'd never have to meet under the same circumstances again.

"Ladies and Gents, the battle is over" he smiled, raising his glass. Everyone did the same, and soon chatter filled the room again.

"Now," Ron said, taking your hand "we've got some unfinished business to take care of" he winked. You giggled as he lead you up the stairs and towards his bedroom.

The End
