Story [Harry Potter] The Reluctant Journal of Ron Weasley- 2011 Dear Diary Challenge Completed 12/21

I knew there was a inner-mischief maker in Percy! Looks like he's related to Fred and George after all! It's very fun entertaining a vision of the Weasley boys and Harry passed out in the living room of Harry and Ron's flat.
It's buried deep down. p

JediMara77
HAHAHA! Go, Percy!!!
Never underestimate a Weasley.

Hazel
So, Percy IS related to the other Weasleys after all.
It would seem so.

Taming dragons on a bachelor party? That's a first.
But fitting!

NYCitygurl
Go Percy!!
I love how they think dragon training at a stag party is normal
It's not?

 

Entry Eighteen
Ginny is now a Potter.

A Potter?

And the wedding went off without a hitch- amazingly.

The reception, well, that?s another story.

Percy came over to help ?keep an eye? on Harry. What actually happened was that he woke up first and volunteered to help Harry before anyone else could. As the Best Man and flat mate, I have don?t have to help set up the wedding. About an hour before the ceremony, Dad pulled Harry aside to talk to him ?surrogate father to son,? as Bill put it. I didn?t stop to think until this morning how much Harry must want his parents at his wedding. I don?t know what good it would have done to mention it.

The ceremony was held in Godric?s Hollow. Fortunately, only family and friends were present.

Hermione looked stunning. No, gorgeous, No, spectacular. She wore a silvery dress that?wow.

But this is about Harry stealing my sister?not me drooling over ?Mione.

Anyways. There ceremony went great. Ginny is now a married woman and all of that. The reception was where things got a little messy. It started out fine. Mum and Ginny decided to throw it at the Burrow. This way, there was a little more room for more well-wishers.

Percy, George, Neville, Bill, Seamus and Katie kept an eye on the guests. A couple of hecklers (former Voldemort supporters) were ?escorted? out. I don?t know much of the details, but no one was hurt or anything like that. I was doing my Best Man duties. Hey, don?t look at me like that. Someone had to make sure that Harry kept his hands to himself. I wasn?t busy with Hermione. Nope.

It wasn?t until the cake was served that disaster struck and by disaster, I mean hilarity. George rigged up some of his fireworks to go off when the cake was brought out. When Harry poked his fork into his piece, it exploded. Not a huge explosion. Just a minor pop that scattered icing all over him. I have no idea how George knew which part of the cake Harry would receive. It wasn?t a huge prank by George?s standards, but it was funny.

Needless to say, Mum freaked out. She knew it was George (like there was a question). She reminded everyone within earshot why you don?t mess with Molly Weasley.

It wasn?t until people started dancing did something happen. I?m not saying it was my fault. Fifty percent. Okay, fine, more like 80 percent.

Fine! It was my fault.

You see, I was dancing with Hermione and guess who walked up? Yep, that?s right, Victor Krum. Now I know it?s stupid to get jealous. It?s ancient history. You have to remember though that I am Ron Weasley. I have the emotional range of a teaspoon. He asked for a dance, Hermione agreed and off they went. Somehow, I found myself dancing with Luna who spent the time telling me I had nargles in my ears or something. After the number ended, I cut right back in with Hermione. It would have been fine had I note opened by big mouth.

Now I trust Hermione, I just don?t trust Krum. She wouldn?t have it, though. We ended up shouting at each other in the middle of the dance floor. No need to go into the details of the fight. It?s not important. George came up and pointed out that we were putting on a show. This infuriating Hermione more (with me, not George).

Anyway, Hermione and I got over a spat some time later. We apologized to Harry and Ginny, who laughed it off and said that they expected it. I believe there was a bet on it, but that?s still unknown. I?ll have to talk to George about it.

The worst part was, though, when Hermione made me apologize to Krum.

It was almost as bad as Harry marrying my sister.

Almost.

Signing off,
Ron Weasley, I really meant it

 

Oh poor Ron. Apologizing to Victor Krum.

And he shouldn't feel bad about Harry marrying his sister. I mean, it could've been one of those dumb boys like Michael Corner. At least Harry's respectable!

 

Of course, Harry's wedding would be bumpy.

 

Suuuuuuuure you weren't, Ron!

Poor Ron. He really does not like Mr. Krum...

 

George came up and pointed out that we were putting on a show. This infuriating Hermione more (with me, not George).

I've been lurking for a while reading this. It's so perfectly Ron. I love how he acts like the Journal IS Hermione where he tries to deny something before eventually admitting the truth.

It's good for him.

And he shouldn't feel bad about Harry marrying his sister. I mean, it could've been one of those dumb boys like Michael Corner. At least Harry's respectable!
Good point!

Hazel
Of course, Harry's wedding would be bumpy.
Naturally.

Suuuuuuuure you weren't, Ron!
He totally was...not.

Poor Ron. He really does not like Mr. Krum...
Nope, not at all.

Haha, yep! Not that she'll ever read it. Thank you!

 

Entry Nineteen
Harry needs to move out.

See, he and Ginny haven?t agreed on where they want to live. With Ginny leaving for a two-month (save for a couple days off here and there) tour and Harry?s in-field training negates the rush to find permanent housing. Deep down I think it comes down to packing. No one wants to do it. We leave for training in a couple of days. Harry and Ginny are all over each other, all the time. It?s driving me nuts. I?m going to Hermione?s whenever possible, but I can?t enjoy a Quidditch over there. All of my Cannons stuff is over here. Hermione won?t let me bring over the shrine. I need it to wish the Cannons luck. She says there?s not any room for it. It will fit if I shrink it a little.

I don?t understand why they can?t stay at Ginny and Hermione?s. It?s revenge for something. I don?t know what. It?s probably Ginny. She can?t let things go. It?s not as if I meant to burn a hole in her toy cauldron when she was seven.

I?ve made my peace (well kind of) with Harry marrying my sister. Don?t tell my brothers; they?ll never let me live it down. Actually, let?s keep this quiet. For the record, I can?t stand it at all. I can?t take them pawing at each other every other minute. I wonder if I could talk them into visiting Bill for a few days?or many Charlie. We all know how much Harry likes dragons (ha!)

I?ve been working with George during the days. The Hogwarts rush is over. In roughly a month orders will start coming in. George has already started production on the special Halloween items and preparation for the first Hogsmeade weekend. Who would have thought he was so business-minded?

We?re thinking about a new line of items to go along with the love potions: wedding-themed. People have been asking for the fireworks that appeared at Harry?s and other weddings George attended. George had been working on special fireworks. We were thinking about some type of floating lights or flowers that change colors. It?s still in the planning stage.

Working at WWW is hectic, but it?s a nice break before the in-field training begins. I?ll find out my partner when we report in.

Please not Bilson.

It?ll be Bilson, watch.

Wonder if the Aurors take bribes?

Signing off,
Ron Weasley, disturbed flatmate

 

I feel so bad for Ron... yeah, Harry and Ginny finding a place to live BEFORE they were married might have been a good idea...

George is quite the business man, isn't he? I really like the idea of the flowers that change colors.

 

Poor Ron.

And you jinxed yourself. It's totally gonna be Bilson.

 

The wedding was hilarious! And it's totally going to be Bilson

 

Deep down I think it comes down to packing. No one wants to do it. 

I can totally relate to that.

Maybe Ron and Hermione should take one of the apartments and Harry and Ginny the other.

Please not Bilson.
It?ll be Bilson, watch.

I think you're out of luck there, Ron.

 

I have been lurking, and I feel horrible.

But you've had some awesome updates. I especially love how Ron has come to terms with Harry marrying Ginny, but doesn't want anyone to know.

He sure is. Thanks!

Packing is enough to make me never want to move again.

They may.

I think you're out of luck there, Ron.
It's funnier that way.

Glad you are enjoying. Haha, Ron has an image to maintain.

 

Entry Twenty
It was Bilson.

Big surprise.

Fortunately, Harry is on the team, too. The three of us are working with Auror Anne Pinkerton. Four people seems like a large group, but the department can?t spare too many for training purposes. Voldemort?s long gone, but Dark Wizards still appear.

Bilson, Harry and I each accompany Anne on her shifts at Azkaban. Only one of us goes with her per shift. When we aren?t at Azkaban, we do various field exercises. In addition, if Anne is assigned to a mission, we go with her.

There?s a raid tomorrow night. The Aurors found a storehouse that must have belonged to a Dark Wizard. It was empty when the investigators were there yesterday, but no one knows if the owners will return or who the owners are. The house is full of items filled with illegal dark items. Anne is going to go over the specifics tomorrow before we leave.

Today we?re working on defensive spells with each other. Harry has no problems with him, which is why he?s the one shooting at Bilson and me. I hit Bilson with a leg-locking curse, not that I enjoyed doing that or anything. Bilson does need to increase his speed if he wants to make it out there. As far as I know, he?s never faced a Dark Wizard before. Harry gave him some pointers on shield charms and I hope he listened.

I?m heading to WWW in Diagon Alley after practice to cover for George. One of his suppliers was giving him problems, so he?s heading out to deal with that. Hermione is supposed to bring dinner. She?ll probably stay the whole time, since I?m going to be by myself.

That reminds me, I need to hide the box in the stockroom before she arrives.

Signing off,
Ron Weasley, jack of all trades

 

It was Bilson.

Of course it was! Good that he also got to work with Harry, though, and not go completely insane!

That reminds me, I need to hide the box in the stockroom before she arrives.

The box? Oooooh, is that what I think it is?!!?

 

Yeah... Ron kinda jinxed himself on the whole Bilson thing.

And what's in the box?

 

Was Ron actually worried about Bilson?

Hmmm! A mystery box...

 

It was Bilson.

Big surprise.

Of course.

Hmm... what's in the box, huh?

 

Of course it was Bilson! But at least Harry's there, too!

Like everyone else, I'm dying to know what's in the box

 

JediMara77

I had to do it.

It's a little bigger of a box than what you're thinking of, but...

Book-Geek

Something Ron cooked up with George's help.

Hazel

Sh! Don't tell anyone that he was.

Something.

Harry has to be there.

Not much longer!

 

Entry Twenty-one
I am exhausted. The raid ended about two hours ago. I literally fell through the fireplace. There?s soot all over the carpet but I really don?t care. Harry went over to Grimmauld Place to talk to someone about fixing the place up. He told me, but I forgot. I?m amazed I remembered my address to be honest.

We arrived at storehouse at dusk. Harry, Bilson, Anne and I went around to the side of the storehouse. There was a metal ladder on the side of the building. I led the group up to the top. Anne ordered Bilson to watch the exit. Harry and I stood inside, not too far from the door. Anne was positioned farther forward.

The team below entered and a fire began. A Dark Wizard ran up the stairs to use the outside ladder I guessed. Harry Stunned him. More Dark Wizards began running towards us. Anne was shooting hexes left and right while Harry continued Stunning and disarming. I helped Anne.

There was a blast behind us and we heard the scraping of metal. The ladder was being torn away from the building. I ran to the doorway, saw Bilson and cast a spell to slow his fall. It worked. He?s covered in bruises, but he?s alive.

The raid was a success. Ten Dark Wizards were captured on at Azkaban. The dark items were confiscated and taken away for investigation. There were a few Muggle items in the mix. Agents are already out looking for anymore.

The raid reminded me of the war. It doesn?t matter if you like the person or not, you have to watch each other?s backs. Anything can happen in a split second. I want to work on my Shield Charm before the next raid. I?ll ask Hermione to throw some hexes at me. She won?t show me any mercy.

Harry and I are due at Azkaban in 12 hours. I need to sleep. Going into that place with even a shred of negative emotion is a horrible idea. The hallways carry the despair of past prisoners.

Signing off,
Ron Weasley, Dark Wizard apprehender

 

Glad to hear it went well.

 

Poor Ron! He sounds like he's about to pass out from exhaustion! He needs a hug! Here you go Ron:

 

Aww, poor Ron
