'I wont let you.' - My entry to Erin's HP Fan Fic Comp.

[Bundle-Of-Fun]

<sup>Well, now that the comps over and the winners have been announced, I will post my story.

The story was rather long, and I originally sent it to Erin in three parts. However, because those parts were rather long and I dont want to bore anyone, I'll post shorter parts, day by day. I wont post 2 parts in one day.

Now, onto the actual story. Haha

Erin assigned us to each write about one HP pairing. I obviously chose Romione, which is the Ron/Hermione pairing. She asked us to write one chapter of a story. I wrote one chapter, however it is a rather long chapter.

For those who have not read Deathly Hallows, you probably wont understand this, and even if you've seen the movie; this story is from the second part of the movie. I dont think it has very signifigant spoilers, but if you dont want to know ANYthing about the second half of Deathly Hallows, I suggest you not read it.

If you have decided to read on, I say thank you. This story, in my personal opinion, is one of my best pieces. I dont know how good it is, but I feel it's my best. I was nervous about it, and before entering, I enlisted my best guy friend to help me get Ron's point of view right. I'd been thikning I made Ron too emotional, but he said just because guys dont talk about their feelings doesn't mean they dont think about them. He gave me a few pointers, but nothing too signifigant, just getting rid of one word or so. I know he wont read this, but I'd like to thank him for his help.

Okay, now onto the plot. The plot is basically what happens when Ron and Hermione go into the Chamber of Secrets. It also gives detail about the destruction of Helga Hufflepuff's Cup. (NOTE: About the destruction, I'm not completely pleased with how I wrote about it, so beware it's not that good, in my personal opinion)

A WARNING: Contains cheesiness at the beginning, and ESPECIALLY in the end. But cheesy and fluffy is how I write, so most people will be expecting that. This story contains a lot of cheesiness though, but only really slightly in the beginning and definitely in the end.

I will post the first bit tomorrow, if you have reached the end of this note, thanks for reading my ramble. I hope you enjoy the story, and tell me what you think, because I think it's my best piece, even if it's not that good.

Happy Reading and Happy New Year!

PREVIEW
"Myrtle, we would be glad to come and visit you, unfortunately, Hogwarts is about to be attacked, and we need to get to the Chamber of Secrets as soon as possible. If we make it out alive," she paused to swallow, and it fully sank into Ron's mind that tonight was the night. It all came down to this.</sup>

I can't wait to read it!

[Bundle-Of-Fun]

I cant wait for everyone to read it! I'm really looking forward to finding out what everyone thinks of it.

But I'm following a system. Putting up first bit tomorrow.

[Bundle-Of-Fun]

Harry and Luna raced off to find the statue of the diadem. Ron turned away from the door and looked at the friends he hadn't seen in almost a year. He saw Neville stand up from the hammock he had been sitting in. Ginny walked over and stood next to him.

"Alright," Neville called out. Everyone fell silent as they watched Neville, waiting for his instructions. Ron was amazed. Neville had always been a follower, never a leader. He remembered with a little guilt that he had wondered in first year why Neville had been put in Gryffindor. But it seemed that the Sorting Hat had seen what others couldn't.

Just like Hermione, Ron thought to himself, and immediatly looked over to his left at Hermione. She was smiling as she watched Neville deliver a speech on what to do. Ron took the moment to admire her yet again; this was becoming an addictive habit of his. Whenever he thought she wasn't looking, he'd watch her, and study her every movement - the way her fingers gently drifted across the edge of a page in a book, the way her bushy brown hair would catch the sunlight so that a bit of it appeared gold, the way her cheeks would turn a faint shade of pink when she was flustered or confused, the way the corner of her lips would twitch as she tried to hide back a smile... oh, Merlin, those lips... Ron spent a lot of his time watching her lips, wondering if they were as soft as he imagined, if she tasted as sweet as he thought. He spent many nights wondering if he'd ever get to find out.

Neville was now finishing up his speech. "So, we'll practise the defensive spells now. We need to be prepared to defend ourselves tonight. It all comes down to tonight." Suddenly, a few models of Death Eaters appeared. Ron saw Ginny beam, the Room had conjured them up for her. Ron wished he could walk over and talk to her, he hadn't seen her in over a year and had been so worried for her. Before he could walk over to her, Hermione spoke.

"Ron!" she exclaimed. "Even if we do find the diadem, how are we going to destroy it? We don't have the sword anymore, remember? We still haven't even gotten rid of the cup!"

Why does she have to be a genius? Ron thought to himself. He hadn't thought of that. How were they going to destroy the diadem, and the cup for that matter? "I don't know."

"We need something else to destroy the Horcruxes with." Hermione said, frowning as she tried to think of something. Her fingers were on her chin and her eyes were on the floor, deep in thought.

Ron fought back to the conversation he and Hermione had had with Harry before they left. Hermione had told them what to use to destroy Horcruxes... what did Harry use to destroy the diary? Did he use the sword... no... he used the fangs... "the basilisk fangs in the Chamber of Secrets!" Ron finished his thought out loud excitedly.

This bit was actually originally going be be longer (I was gonna post more of this story). But then I realised that was TOO long, so I shortened it. Split it into two bits.

[Bundle-Of-Fun]

Hm, no replies.

[sarzz_96]

omg amazing!!!

[Bundle-Of-Fun]

Really?

[Bundle-Of-Fun]

No one was replying so I'd been thinking I HAD bored everyone with my note.

[Bundle-Of-Fun]

Hermione looked up. "What?"

Ron's mind was racing, he was thinking way too much at the moment. All the thoughts in his head were zooming around and Ron had trouble seperating one from another in time to explain everything to Hermione. So this is what it's like being Hermione, Ron thought. "The Basilisk... Chamber... Fangs..." Hermione's eyes widened in realisation.

"Ron!" she gasped, and flung her arms around his neck. "That's brilliant! You're brilliant!" Ron beamed as he felt her breath tickle his ear. He could smell some perfume that she was wearing. Hey... isn't that what I got her in fifth year? Ron's smile grew bigger knowing she used his gift.

Hermione finally let go, her smile still wide. Ron impulsively, without thinking, grabbed her hand and began leading her to the door.

"Where are you going?" Ginny called out

Ron turned to look at her, really look at her, for the first time in almost a year. She seemed taller, and more mature. She appeared braver and stronger. Her jaw was set, and she had a determined look on her face.

"Bathroom," he muttered, "We'll be back, dont worry."

Ginny swallowed, nodding her head. "Okay," she managed to say, and Ron could tell she was about to cry. Despite her strong expression, she too had missed her sibling and wanted to catch up with him.

Ron looked right at her, directly into her eyes. He mouthed "I love you, little sis," and walked out of the room, holding Hermione's hand. I wish I could say those first three words to Hermione though.

Originally these two were going to be posted together.

They walked down the long corridors, memories filling their minds, making their trip go by quicker. They turned a corner on the third floor, upon which they saw Peeves.

"Oi!" Peeves called out, "Look who it is! It's--"

"For once in your life, Peeves--" Ron began

"Death," Hermione corrected him. "Poltergeists never lived."

Ron couldn't help but smirk at Hermione's tone. It reminded him of a simpler time, when all they worried about was school and Quidditch. Could it really only have been 4 years ago? To Ron it felt like a lifetime. "Whatever," Ron continued. "For once in your existence just shut up!"

Peeves was usually only controlled by the Bloody Baron and Dumbledore, but Ron's serious tone stopped him from yelling out their names. He knew Hogwarts was about to be attacked. He knew the school was in danger. And if there was no Hogwarts, there'd be no school to haunt and no people to taunt.

"Alright," he mumbled. "Just this once." And he flew off in the direction where they had come from.

"Come on," Ron tugged at Hermione's hand and they raced down the stairs onto the second floor. As they got onto the landing, the stair case moved.

Suddenly, they heard an explosion from outside. They hurried over to the window, and could just make out a few Death Eaters flying about in the sky, ready to strike at any moment. Ron saw a flash of yellow and a curse flying over to the window. He immediatly gripped Hermione's hand as hard as he could and shoved her against the wall, his body sheilding her from the shattering glass.

Breathing heavily, he looked down at Hermione, who was pale and in shock. She was so close, inches away, and Ron could see a light spray of freckles on her nose. He couldn't remember being this close to her in awhile. Maybe ever. A few inches, just a few inches and you'll have kissed her. Come on! Hermione was looking down under his arm, which was against the wall, shielding her further, trying to see if there was any more danger.

"Is it safe to go now?" Hermione asked worriedly, her voice shaking.

Ron stood back to give Hermione some room. "Yeah, I think so. As safe as it'll get, anyway."

Ron realised that he had let go of Hermione's hand whilst trying to shield her from the explosion. Now he couldn't go for her hand without looking like a fool in love (which he was, but he didn't really want Hermione to think that). Before he could do anything about it, Hermione had grabbed his hand and was now leading the way to the girls bathroom.

Ron quickly caught up to her so they were running side by side. They noticed a few students, who recognised them, calling out "Were those Harry Potter's friends?"

They finally turned the corner and entered the girls lavatory. Ron and Hermione paused, looking around the room. Before they could make their way over to the sink, they heard a wail.
