Prompt Set: 50.1.
Prompts: #46 Tears, #10 Breakfast, #4 Blank
Word Count: 469
Summary: Ginny is dead, and it’s Harry’s fault. They were such idiots. Even Hermione doesn’t make Ron feel anymore.
Warnings: tiny, tiny hints to incest, mentions of torture.
Notes: I did something that FAQ says is allowed, put three prompts as separate sections in one fic. I hope I did it right...
Prompt: Tears
Ginny is dead. I still have trouble understanding that. When Harry, Hermione and I were trying to find the horcruxes, she was kidnapped. And tortured. And done God-knows-what. And killed. And her corpse was left on a street to be found, mockingly.
We all have cried enough tears to make an ocean.
“Ron”, Harry says. “It’s already been a week since Ginny’s funeral, and I think I must leave. People are killed every day and I just can’t waste another day sitting here, I must go and fight. For Ginny.”
I snort. “Right. Because you’re the fucking hero. Hero! You are the reason people die! Call that heroic? Without you my family wouldn’t be in any greater danger than others, but no, you just had to get to snog my sister like everyone else, and get her killed!”
“I...” Harry starts, but then he probably realizes that I’m right as he turns and goes, leaving me alone.
Prompt: Breakfast
The last time I saw Ginny alive was morning after Bill and Fleur’s wedding.
I come downstairs with my backpack. Trunk would be too impractical.
“I’m going to go with Harry” I inform Ginny, mum and dad who are eating wedding left-overs for breakfast.
Mum stares at me uncomprehendingly, but I see understanding in Ginny’s eyes. I suppose Harry has told her about our plans.
“Take me with you”, she demands, but I shake my head resolutely.
“No way. You’re...”
“Too young? A girl? What?” she stands up angrily. “What about all your stunts when you were eleven? What about Hermione?”
“Harry doesn’t want you to come. He’s afraid...”
“That something will happen to me? Then why don’t you forbid Hermione from coming? You care about her like Harry does... about me...” her voice breaks.
“You mustn’t doubt Harry’s feelings, Ginny,” I say tiredly. “It’s just... he has so much going on right now. You must understand.”
“What if I don’t want to!” she screams and storms out of the kitchen. I hear her bursting in tears on stairs.
“None of us wants anything bad to happen to you!” I scream after her.
What idiots we all were.
Prompt: Blank
I stare blankly at a spot on the wall. “Ron.” Hermione says softly and comes by my bed where I lie. She places her hand gently on my hand and squeezes it slightly. I don’t react. I used to get a jolt in my stomach whenever she touched me, but now - nothing. I can barely remember why she affected me like that. I suppose that part of me died with Ginny. Now, I don’t understand why some girl could be more important than my own sister. How anything could be more important than her.
“You should go with Harry”, I manage to choke the words. “But I can’t.”
