Ron's No Good Luck With Love

"You what?" Hermione demanded as the Golden Quartet sat in the boys' dorm. 

"We chased Bellatrix," Harry answered. He had his head resting in Nova's lap as she played with his hair. 

"Are you insane?" Dean asked from his spot on Seamus's bed. 

"That's what my Pa said," Nova said timidly as she had her back pressed to Harry's headboard on his bed. 

"DID YOU SERIOUSLY ALMOST STRANGLE BELLATRIX?" Theo demanded excitedly as him a Blaise plopped themselves on Dean's bed. 

"Hell yeah, she did!" Ginny grinned. 

"What else happened?" Blaise asked. "We only heard parts of it."

"Well, we were just chilling at the Burrow," Ron began. "Then Remus and Nova tensed saying the smelt Greyback. There was a ring of fire surrounding my house. Then Bellatrix appeared and Harry and Nova chased after her-"

"Which they shouldn't've done," Hermione hissed after sending a warning look to the couple. 

Nova simply hummed in response as she continued to twirl Harry's hair in her fingers. 

"Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Bill, and Fleur chased after us," Harry spoke. "We were in a clearing and started dueling the Death Eaters. Nova wasn't anywhere. When they left, Remus went berserk looking for Nova."

"I found Bellabitch," Nova said proudly. "Attacked her as a lioness. Bet she has some pretty scars down her back now. Anyways . . .Greyback made me float so I was hoisted in the air. I got down and put Bellatrix in a headlock. Taunted them a bit before Greyback set fire to the Burrow. I stunned Bellabitch. I began dragging her through the snow so she can feel the pain when she woke up."

"Then you launched her into the lawn in front of us," Ron continued. "Her limp body just kinda flopped like a fish. Nova stormed through and put the fire out with her Bad Bitch Powers."

"I stomped on Bellabitch between that, Ronald," Nova added with a grin. 

"Right," Harry confirmed. "Then she marched over to Bellatrix. Bellatrix stabbed her leg and disapparated. Fleur told Nova not to take the knife out-"

"I took the knife out-"

"Remus was pissed-"

"I told him his 'Pissed Off Dad Speech' was gonna have to wait because I need a nap-"

"She fainted," Harry said. 

"Harry then spent the next two hours of his life pacing and pulling at his hair-" Ginny commented. 

"Tonks had enough and drugged him-" Ron added. 

"She drugged Remus too," Ginny added. "He and Harry had the same reaction."

"What did Remus do?" Theo asked. 

"Well he was pissed," Nova answered. "Told me I need to think before I react. Cried a lot. Now we're good."

"Nox, you have a death wish," Seamus said. 

"So I've heard." Nova grinned.

"Horcruxes?" Hermione asked Harry for clarification. "I've never heard of those."

Harry had just informed them of his mission from Dumbledore; retrieve memory from Slughorn. 

"Do you know anything about Horcruxes?" Harry asked Ron. 

"No. Nothing like it," Ron shrugged.
