Y/N pushed around the food on her plate as she waited for her friends in the Great Hall. She’d been at Hogwarts for 5 years and was completing her 6th year with hopes that it would be a lot more calm. Every year had been something and after the year everyone endured with Umbridge as Headmaster, she could really use a break. Of course, not everything about the chaos had been bad. She’d gained friends like Hermione, Ginny, Neville, and Harry and had even started dating the youngest Weasley brother. Yes, Ron could be daft sometimes, but he really did show that he cared for her and never failed to make her laugh. They kept their relationship pretty lowkey, but those who knew them best knew how happy they were together.
“What? Is the food bad today?” Ginny asked as she sat down next to Y/N, Neville close behind.
“No, I’m just super nervous for the Quidditch match today. Ron was tossing and turning all night. I just want him to do well,” Y/N spurted without any breaths.
“I’m sure he will! He’s been doing great in practice!” Ginny encouraged.
“I know. But after Hermione told me that she had used that charm to help him, I’m just worried about his confidence....oh shh. Here he comes! Good morning, babe!” Y/N smiled as the redhead sat next to her and placed a kiss on her cheek.
“Good morning, love! The nerves are getting to me, but hopefully they’ll go away!” He responded.
“I know you’ll do great! Don’t you worry,” she charmed.
Hermione and Harry made their way into the Great Hall and joined the rest of the group. Ron seemed to be doing well until Seamus and Dean came over.
“Ron! We’re expecting a lot from you today! Gryffindor needs this win!”
“You’ve got it mate!”
“Is there really that much pressure on me?” Ron asked Harry.
That’s when Y/N noticed that he stopped stuffing his face, something that was very bizarre for Ron.
“Ron. You’re looking kind of pale...” Hermione pointed out.
And that’s when Y/N saw Harry pull something out of his pocket. It looked familiar, but she wasn’t sure what it was.
“Harry?” Luna asked, sliding in with her large lion head, “what did you put in Ron’s drink?”
Ron looked up with wide eyes. Had Harry just put the luck potion in Ron’s drink?
“Harry! That’s got to be against the rules!” Hermione gasped.
“What? I just thought he could use a bit of luck to calm the nerves. That’s all,” Harry stayed simply.
“Ron, you can’t drink that!” Y/N insisted.
“Common, it won’t make that big of a difference!” Ron replied as he took a large gulp from his goblet.
Y/N couldn’t help but shake her head. Didn’t she say that he could be daft.
Down at the pitch, Y/N snuck into the changing rooms before the match started to wish Ron luck, even though he probably had enough.
“Y/N, what are you doing in here?” Ginny whispered.
“I just wanted to wish Ron luck. Is he around?”
Ginny rolled her eyes before pointing to where Ron was. She didn’t know how Ron got a girlfriend, but she sure was happy it was Y/N. She was just great for him.
“Y/N/N! What are you doing in here? Not that it’s a bad thing, I’m happy to see you!”
Y/N grinned as Ron stumbled over his words.
“I just wanted to wish you luck before your first match! I’ll be cheering for you up in the stands!”
Y/N stood on tiptoe in order to give him a kiss. She was going for a simple one, but Ron placed a hand on the back of her head, holding her in for an even longer one.
“I definitely needed that for luck,” he winked as she ran off to get a good spot in the stands.
The match was CRAZY! Ron was doing such a fantastic job! He was blocking every shot on the posts, got the quaffle to the chasers without any problem, and even spun around his broom to block a shot! He was on fire! Y/N was so proud of him, even if Harry had slipped him some good luck potion. (She really hoped he hadn’t)
“GRYFFINDOR WINS! Potter has caught the golden snitch! What a fantastic match here at Hogwarts!” The announcer called over the loudspeakers.
Y/N couldn’t believe it, well she could, but her boyfriend played so WELL!!! She couldn’t wait to get back to the Common Room to celebrate with him and the rest of the team.
“Y/N, you coming?” Hermione asked as Y/N stopped in the entrance of the Common Room, “Y/N?”
Why had she stopped? Just a minute ago, the entire Gryffindor house was chanting Ron’s name and Y/N had been excited to go in. What changed was all Hermione could think. That’s when she turned and saw it. Lavender Brown had gotten up on the table and kissed Ron. Hermione turned back to Y/N and she was gone.
As Y/N had stood there in shock, all she could whisper was “Ronald?” and run away before the tears began to fall.
“Harry? Did you see which way Y/N went?” Hermione asked hurriedly.
“No, why?” Harry asked cluelessly.
“Look,” Hermione pointed up to where Lavender was hanging onto Ron.
“That bloody fool,” Harry said, “ummm, she may have gone this way. Let’s go.”
Hermione and Harry rushed from the Common Room to try and find Y/N.
“Do you have the Maunderer’s map with you?” Hermione asked after they couldn’t find Y/N anywhere.
“Oh, good idea!”
Harry searched his robes to pull out the old piece of parchment.
“I solemnly swear I am up to no good,” he said with his wand in the center.
Black ink began to spread across the parchment and the pair opened it quickly to find Y/N’s footsteps in the castle.
“Harry, look. There she is!” Hermione pointed to the two stationary footprints in the East Tower on the Astronomy Tower steps.
“Common,” Harry replied quickly as he folded the parchment and grabbed Hermione’s arm.
“Y/N? Are you still here?” She asked as they got closer.
There was no reply except for the sniffles in the dark.
“Lumos,” Harry said, emitting a bright light from his wand.
“Oh, Y/N. Are you okay?” Hermione asked worriedly.
“Oh, hi guys,” Y/N whispered as she wiped her eyes, “if you wouldn’t mind, I would kind of like to be left alone...”
Hermione completely ignored that request and ran over to hug her. Harry was quick to sit on the other side.
“I’m sorry. He’s just so daft. There is no way he meant it,” Harry tried to explain.
Y/N was just silent. It had still happened though. Not to mention, Harry and Hermione had come to find her and she didn’t even know if he had left the oh so grand celebration yet.
“Harry, that’s not helping! Y/N, has anyone else been through here?”
“Just Peeves and Nearly Headless Nick. Peeves threw stuff at me and told me to stop crying. Nick went away when I asked him to. But those are just ghosts...”
“I’m sure he’s wondering where you are,” Harry tried again.
“Well then where is he?”
“Y/N?” a voice came from the bottom of the astronomy steps.
“That’s him,” Hermione whispered, “so you want us to leave?”
“I don’t know...” Y/N drew out.
“Love, please. I know you’re up there...” he called out again.
“We’re up here, Ron,” Harry finally gave in and called, “I’m sorry. He is my best friend. He deserves a chance to explain.”
“Oh thank goodness. Y/N/N, love, I’ve been looking for you everywhere...how long have you been gone?” He asked as he came up the steps.
Y/N didn’t even want to look up at him. She couldn’t if she didn’t want to start crying again.
“Guys, could you give us a moment please?” Ron pleaded to his two friends.
Hermione looked at Y/N for permission, wanting to make sure her best friend would be okay with him. She nodded her head. Knowing she’d have to hear him out at some point.
Ron waited until the two had left before he started talking.
“Y/N, please, please, please talk to me. It didn’t mean anything. She came out of nowhere and everyone was celebrating and pushing in, not giving me any room. I promise, love, I didn’t kiss back. She finally let go and I looked around for you and you were gone. Love, I would never want to hurt you!”
“Ron, as much as I want to believe you, it still hurts. So, so much. It felt like my heart was being stabbed. I know we’ve been staying low key, but I thought enough people knew. Lavender knew what she was doing. And it lasted so long. You are so much bigger. You could’ve pulled away. It could’ve not happened...” Y/N could feel the heat behind her eyes, the puffiness Of her cheeks, and the tears that began to roll down.
Ron’s heart began to shatter. How could he have let this happen. He should have been thinking and not caught up in the celebration. He didn’t do it on purpose. He couldn’t lose her.
“Y/N. Please, I’m begging you, try to understand. I can’t lose you!”
He grabbed her one shoulder and used his other hand to lift her head so she would look at him. He looked into her E/C eyes and wanted to pull her in close when he saw the tears.
“Why can’t you lose me? I wouldn’t be very hard to replace...” Y/N tried to look down again.
“Don’t you dare say that. Y/N, you are everything to me. You’re smart, supportive, you see me for me, and you somehow know how to protect me even when I go on those ridiculous adventures following Harry... Y/N,” he paused for a moment, “Y/N. I love you.”
That got her to look up. He had never said that to her before. They’d been together for nearly a year and neither could figure out how or when to tell the other how they felt.
“You what, Ron?” She stuttered.
“I love you Y/N!” He said a lot louder.
That put a small smile on her face. He really was a goof....
“Will you please, please, please forgive me?” He asked again, taking both of her hands in his.
“I love you too, Ron. I love you so much...”
Ron couldn’t stop himself from beaming. That made him take her face in his hands and pull her lips to his. He hated the circumstances that he had to tell her, but he had felt this was for so long. His heart was content and he knew that he couldn’t mess it up. Y/N had him wrapped around her finger and could completely break him if she went away.
Y/N broke the kiss off and looked Ron dead in the eyes.
“I will have you know that if Lavender ever comes near you again, I will sock her in the face!”
Ron let out a loud laugh, appreciating his girlfriend’s feistiness.
“Oh you could take her any day! Want to go back and celebrate now?”
“Are you okay if we stay here for a little while, just the two of us?” She asked him with wide eyes.
He just smiled as he brought her in close again, “I hoped you’d say that.”
