Summary:
Year Two:
Ron Weasley returns to Hogwarts for his second year with danger hot in his heels. But this time, our favorite nineteen-turned-twelve year old time traveler will need more than his knowledge of the previous life to survive. Because, as Ron is about to find out, the consequences of messing with time won't always result in his favor, and that one ripple is enough to change the tides in ways he could not even anticipate.
But the real question is, whose body is doomed to lie in the Chamber forever this time? And can Ron find a way to save them and the year before it is too late?
[PREVIEW] TBA Missing Secret Chapter I: Back at the Burrow
Busy, busy, busy.
Yeah, the usual set of excuses. But heeey, it's here!
Almost. Hahaha.
Yeah, I'll see myself out again.
Go away, me! 😖
TARGET RELEASE DATE: November 15, 2025
“Ron, Ginny, dears, you have a guest!”
A guest? Ron hadn’t been expecting anyone this early in the summer season, so he doubted it was any of his Hogwarts friends. However, since Molly called for Ginny as well, he had a good guess on who it was.
“Luna!” Ginny exclaimed with unbridled enthusiasm as she rushed ahead of Ron, while her brother took his time descending the stairs to take in the sight of the small gathering by the living room.
Eleven year old Luna did not look too different from the Luna Ron remembered from the past, with her long, wavy blond hair tied in a flower studded braid past her shoulders; wide eyes the color of patronus mist with a unique combination of energy and serenity; and dressed in a sky blue summer dress that seemed to glide like a cloud at every movement.
And from next to Molly, smiling with a patient air as Luna and Ginny exchanged hugs, was a fair skinned woman who was a near mirror image of the smaller blonde girl, the only difference being that the woman had deep set honey colored eyes behind purple square glasses.
Seemingly sensing Ron’s gaze, her glance shifted from the girls to his mystified blue orbs. “Blessed be, Ronald.”
“Mrs. Lovegood.” Ron said out of reflex, not really sure on what to call her. He had a faint recollection of the Lovegood matriarch, but he did not trust himself to say any more, worried that his currently jumbled memories from two lifetimes will lead him to make a mistake.
Thankfully, he was distracted from the awkwardness when Luna launched herself onto his waist.
“Brother Ron!” The blonde girl said with an bubbly, exuberant tone that Ron never thought she could actually make. Luna always seemed so collected and graceful with how she carried herself… “Brother Ron, you’ve finally come back! How was Hogwarts? Ginny wrote to me that it was like living in a fairy tale. Did you happen upon any fairies or pixies? Or perhaps sun toads or moon frogs?”
Luna’s silver eyes were glowing with such enthusiasm that Ron could not help but poke her nose, fondness bubbling in his chest. “Nice to see you too, Luna. And no, I haven’t seen any of…well, those, but reckon you, Gin, and I can try finding them together this year?”
“All right, children,” Molly cut in after Luna let out a giggle. “I’m sure you have a lot of stories to catch up on with each other; and since Ron and Ginny are done with their chores, why don’t you go play in the garden, hmm? Still have a bit of time left before the afternoon tea.”
Ginny’s and Luna’s faces practically glowed as the latter turned to her mother. “Oh, can we, mummy?”
Mrs. Lovegood let out a soft laugh as she smoothed a hand on Luna’s head. “Of course, my love. And thank you so much for accommodating us, Molly. Our little moonbeam has been so excited she has talked about nothing else but wanting to see Ginny and brother Ron again since we got back from Ireland.”
Molly shook her head as Luna’s face turned pink. “Think nothing of it, Pandora. Any friend of my children is always welcome at the Burrow, especially our lovely Luna. Now run along, dears.”
“OK, mum, aunt Pandora!” Ginny then took Luna’s hand. “Come on, Luna, see if some gnomes are back for us to throw!”
---
“What? You’re asking what happened with the Lovegoods two years ago?” Ginny’s expression became so concerned and confused that Ron had been tempted to take the question back.
The pair were at the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch the morning before their parents and Ginny were due to leave the school as well, having sneaked out while everyone else was still asleep. Ron thought now was a good time as any to get information that could patch up that particular hole in his memory.
“Sorry, I know it’s a strange question, but bear with me on this.” Ron, thankfully, had a reason prepared. “I’ve been doing some thinking about what happened and reckoned I needed the perspective of someone else who remembers anything about it. I’d ask mum and dad, but I don’t want them to freak out any more than they had after the Pettigrew incident, so…”
“Don’t be sorry.” Ginny said automatically, smiling exasperatedly. “Of course you’d still be thinking about what happened with Luna and aunt Pandora. Honestly, Luna and I still talk about it too...”
Hii I really liked your fanfic tba and i heard you are going to update it so i have 2 question
Is it going to be on ao3? (Bcs I mainly use this site ff.net is just hard for me)
Will ron end up with someone?(I genuinely really dislike time traveler who are older when they look to end up with someone who look and are younger when them)
I really liked your fanfic especially ron content with family fluff but im kinda hoping it would be gen (or m/m who also remembers the past life but its personal preference)(mostly I hope there will be no romance at all)
This has been bothering me for while so I would appreciate knowing😅
Hey there, anon! Thanks for the ask!
As for your questions:
Yes, it will be on AO3. In fact, it will be update on AO3 exclusively after the first two chapters. Not only do I have more options on how to format there, I am getting fed up with the spam comments I've been getting over at FF.net.
Honestly, I love gen fics more than romances, and my storage is full of mostly family and friendship fluff fics. However, with the current direction TBA is going, I have to say romance will come up at some point for some of the characters, including Ron.
I understand how some will feel iffy about him being romantically involved with someone, especially if said someone is a Hogwarts student and is younger than Ron mentally. I will try to handle the subject as best as I can but I will understand also if that is still not your cup of tea.
So TL, DR: yes, there will be romance, for romance, but not for a long time for Ron in particular (most likely starting Year 6).
Ngl i spent the majority of yesterday updating ao3 and your tumblr to see if you posted the first chapter. So i assume that your plans changed a bit? Is there another due date now? I'd love to know when to expect it<3
I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. Honestly, I forgot how to upload new works to AO3 so I had to figure everything out all over again. But it is uploaded now, and I'm working on the next chapter already.

[PREVIEW] TBA Missing Secret Interlude -
The Last Letters: Percy Weasley
Who says I don't keep my end of the bargain?
...OK so I haven't had the best track record in updating, but I try. And you know what they say about trying, right? Something to do with not succeeding the first time?
Yeah, I'll see myself out.
TARGET RELEASE DATE: May 31, 2025
Percy,
Bet you didn’t think I’d write to you anymore, not after that shite you pulled back at fifth year.
You left us when we needed to stand together as a family. You said all that terrible shite at mum and dad, and my best mate.
But before you chuck this letter to the bin (or to the fireplace), just let me get this across.
I get it.
“Look at me, Oliver.” Percy gestured to himself. “My little brother and my girlfriend just died and yet I can’t shed a bloody tear. If anyone else saw me like this, they’d probably think I don’t give a damn. To say nothing if my family saw this…”
“Percy…” Oliver wished he knew more about how it was like to feel constantly misunderstood by your family. He did not know how true that was, but it was true enough for the third Weasley son that it haunted Percy’s every thought and action. It was a hurt that Oliver had seen steadily fester in his best friend until that disastrous falling out almost three years ago.
But still…
“You’ll never know if you don’t try, right?” At the bespectacled Weasley’s bemused look, Oliver went on. “I know you’re worried they’ll see the worst in you again, but…you’re all going through a hard time. You Weasleys need each other now more than ever. Shouldn’t you at least give them a chance to prove you wrong? Don’t you think there’s at least someone in your family who won’t misunderstand you?”
“...Ron used to.”
Oliver seriously did not know whether to laugh or sigh.
Omg the first title of book 2 killed me inside, I'm so happy that we get to see glimpses of Ron's previous life and how his death affected everyone (I'm a sucker for angst)
I just came back from a night flight (I was working lol) I'm dead tired but I'm convinced you posting came even bring me back from the dead lmaoo
In all seriousness,your work means so much to me, I've been following your work since 2020 and it's one of the very few fanfics I'm patient with waiting for the next chapter (I literally never start an incomplete fic lol yours just pulled me in from the start)
I hope you are doing well ☺️ and as always please don't pressure yourself into anything,thank you for taking the time of your day to even write us this glorious masterpiece,❤️🫂
Hey there! Thank you again for all your support for TBA. I hope you're doing well too!
As implied by the interlude title, The Last Letters will be a series of glimpses in Ron's old life post war and his death. I have most of the letters written already. It's the matter of posting the meat in between that I need to do.
(So far, my favorite one is the letter to Fred.)
I do hope to complete TBA through book 7, so any support I get is a big help. Thank you again so much for being such a fan. 😘🥲 Stay safe!
For me, excluding of course Solistic Muse, you are my favorite ron centric fanfiction writer ever. Who are top 3 ron writers in your opinion, and your favorite ron centric fic ever?
Hey there! Thanks for dropping by and for your kind words. To be positively compared to Solstice Muse is such an honor!
My top 3 Ron writers? Honestly, I have more favorite fanfics than fanfic writers. Top of my head, my favorites are Solstice Muse and Windschild.
My favorite Ron centric fic? Aww, there are too many good Ron centric fics out there for me to choose just one. Note that these are all complete:
Scourgify by PutMoneyInThyPurse: A short multi-chaptered fic featuring some Ron whumping.
Within these Walls by SolsticeMuse: A longer read, heavy on the angst. Warnings: character death
Stay Standing by Windschild8178: Post-war, Ron-centric fic.
Other recs (Fics that are worth trying IMO)
Fate by TheTrueSpartan: the author's dedication to this work, and the community support behind it is amazing! I mean, it has its own Discord server, and fanfic events!
Or the Look or the Words by LullabyKnell: I consider this my gateway RonHarry fanfic. They're not my OTP, but I can se it happen.
As much as I like TBA, my favorite fic of yours is House of Pendagon. Do you know Will you ever continue it? I think it has potential to be one of the best ron centric fics ever.
Hey there! Thanks for dropping by!
Honestly I have the next chapter of Pendragon halfway done. There's just a part I can't get past. I want to get back in and finish it (I miss writing the two R's interactions). I just need to soldier past this stupid writer's block. 😅
hi sorry if I’m bothering you but could you please give me your favourite Ron Weasley and Weasley family Fic recs please? I’m ok with any ships (excluding the pedophilic ones of course) or gen thank you
Hello there! Thanks for the ask!
If you want some feel good Ron and fam fanfics, I recommend those by Solstice Muse, although she does have some works that are angsty hard hitters. My favorite is Within These Walls.
If angst is more your thing, works by @windschildfanfictionwriter are phenomenal, both as fanfic novels and as character studies. I love her depiction of Ron and his relationships with his family, especially the complicated bits with him and his mother, Molly. Have you read Least Loved? OOOF!
Nah, more of sporadically active. I fancy I'll be letting people know when I have to go offline for good, but hopefully that won't be a thing I need to do for a decade or two.
(Barring any unforeseen life circumstances, of course. Because no one in my immediate circle knows I'm Chuchi, and I don't plan on telling them. Yet.)
My God, I miss you so much. First of all, how are you? I hope everything is fine. Secondly, I've read and reread TBA about 500 times and I'd really like to continue reading more about this wonderful universe that you created. Do we have any predictions? I hope it doesn't seem like I'm forcing you into something.
Wow! Thank you so much for reading TBA and for the love! Always makes me feel so happy to hear from readers!
By predictions, you mean what I have going forward? Well for Year 2, we'll obviously have to deal with the diary and the Basilisk again. Because, sorry Ron, all these things just have to happen. But they way they'll actually happen? That's subject to change.
Without giving away too much, there will be some more OCs in Year 2, new TBA magic lore, more TBA noble house shenanigans, and some changes in the petrified victims.
Also more about Ron's new wand.
And if you're missing a certain golden fluffball back in Year One...
First of all just wanted to say how much i love TBA. Legit my favorite story and i was wondering if you had any recommendations for a Ron Weasley centric fanfic similar to yours? Whether in characterization or plot wise to tide me over while you’re on hiatus.
I’m sure your recommendations are almost as amazing as your work. And i say almost cuz i think nothing can quite compare to TBA it is just so amazing! Cant wait to see the next installment! I should get a notification as i subscribed to it on AO3.
Anyways thank you for writing TBA and I hope you’re doing well in general!
Oh thank you so much for dropping by and for your kind words!
I hope you've read my fanfic recommendations because they're all worth it. Also anything by solstice muse, although their works have been taken down.
Good thing WayBackMachine is a thing. Here's a link if you're interested.
Solstice Muse is a fanfiction author that has written 84 stories for Harry Potter.
Thank you again for dropping by and hope to see you in Year Two!
Hi Chuchi I was just wondering what would be your thoughts if someone wrote a reacting to a there and back again fanfic? Kind of like a watching the show fanfic but with fanfiction similar to bnha fic. Is that something you’d be ok with someone writing with credit to you of course
Hey there! Thanks for the ask!
If you're still interested, I'm OK with it provided that I get the right credits and a link back to me so I can check it out.
Hopefully I won't get flamed too much? Hahaha. 😂
Off topic, I never understood why I can't do answers to asks like these on the mobile app. Makes me miss that I do have stuff in my inbox that needs answering. Or maybe I just don't know how?
I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!! I almost never get this addicted to the fic but i loved yours so much that i've read it 5 times. I was so waiting for you to continue it. I feel like it's time to reread it for the sixth's time:) Also... Maybe you need a cover?or maybe tell me about your personal fav moment from the fic? I would LOVE to draw an art (or several) for one of my favorite english fics. Can't believe it, i'm so happy and giddy. Thank god i subscribed to your tumblr so i could follow any updates.
Also i wanted to ask why won't you have Ronnary in your fic. I think i remember you mentioning that it's not canon so you won't do it and you weren't sure about the pairings at the time. But also you mentioned that it'll have Sirius/Remus (right?) That's also not canon though (and i actually think that both Ron/Harry and Sirius/James make more sense than wolfstar)
I'm not being a hater i just really don't understand. If it's just your preference to not have ronarry it's obv alright but if it's just them not being together in canon or them not being attracted to men then it's a bit illogical cause Sirius and Remus are also not implied by jkr to be gay and/or in love in canon. Would love to hear your thoughts. It's just the way you wrote Ron and Harry interacting made me ship them even more. You may not realize it even but you made such a good setup for this ship. It just felt so natural in your fic. (And also Daphne. I wouldn't mind if Ron ended up with her either tbh)
Unfortunately i read your fic after it was already full posted but this time i'll make sure to always comment and give my opinion.
Wish you so much motivation and inspiration and love. You're the best and i know you just made so many people (including me) happy
Hey there! Thanks for dropping by! And since this a pretty long ask... OK let's type!
OMGGGGGGGGGGG
I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!! I almost never get this addicted to the fic but i loved yours so much that i've read it 5 times. I was so waiting for you to continue it. I feel like it's time to reread it for the sixth's time:)
Wow thanks! Means so much to me that readers actually love TBA. Although you might find things like words and stuff changing around a bit as you read. I love me some good back editing. Because whenever I reread TBA, I always find something to change. 😅
Also... Maybe you need a cover?or maybe tell me about your personal fav moment from the fic? I would LOVE to draw an art (or several) for one of my favorite english fics. Can't believe it, i'm so happy and giddy. Thank god i subscribed to your tumblr so i could follow any updates.
Oh I'm honored! Thank you so much for offering! I make TBA book covers based on images from the movies, but I would love to see your art if you want to work on TBA. As a rule, if someone asks me to do art of my fics, I tell them to do whatever they want as long as they tag me because I love seeing them.
So if you want to draw anything from TBA, feel free! Just please tag me too so I can see it? Pleeeease? 🥲
Also i wanted to ask why won't you have Ronnary in your fic.
Nothing against Ronarry. In fact, personally, I think they just as much chemistry as RonHermione. But it's just not my preference for TBA, although given how their friendship will progress here, I can see why TBA might come across as Ronarry. Ron's Harry's Wheezy, after all.
But also you mentioned that it'll have Sirius/Remus (right?) That's also not canon though (and i actually think that both Ron/Harry and Sirius/James make more sense than wolfstar)
It has nothing to do with following canon, like what I've said. Just that for this fic I feel Wolfstar is a good fit, while Ron and Harry's love interests lie elsewhere.
On a personal note, I see SiriusJames as more of a one-sided thing on Sirius' part, if I play it in a romantic angle. It is canon that Sirius seems to care a whole lot about James, to the point that it's a bit of an unhealthy influence on his and Harry's own relationship, much like what Molly implied in OOTP. So yeah, I can see it happening from Sirius' side.
James, on the other hand, I think is too devoted to Lily to see someone else in a romantic light (no matter how hard he tries to). There's also the bit that he and Sirius are a bit too similar, except James knows that there are some lines that should not be crossed. (I blame Sirius being raised by the Blacks, and the resentment that came with it, for his slightly skewed sense of morals).
But I do respect that you think they are a better pair than Wolfstar. I just like Wolfstar more hehe.
Unfortunately i read your fic after it was already full posted but this time i'll make sure to always comment and give my opinion.
Well, there is book two. Hopefully, you'll enjoy it as much as the first? Fingers crossed I actually do this right. Writing long term fics is quite the challenge.
Wish you so much motivation and inspiration and love. You're the best and i know you just made so many people (including me) happy
Again, thank you so much for your kind words! I pray to stay motivated in writing until the end of Year 7 too. Because oh my Lord, that is soooo far away!
Just found there and back again and my god i love it! i love baka!ron so much <3 im so so glad you're doing a book two <3<3
Hey there! Thanks for your kind words!
I love me some baka!Ron too, although there are times I feel like clobbering him in the head. It's intentional that he'll be like that sometimes, but it's tricky, finding the balance between making him still likeable in spite of that, and him ending up being so idiotic that he becomes insufferable.
