A snake and a lion~Ron Weasley x reader

I had to get ready, I had to get ready for the funeral. I hated saying it, absolutely loathed it. I was home and in my room getting ready, we'd all left Hogwarts just a few days ago. Dumbledore gave a great speech that I cried for the whole time. Ron was holding me trying to comfort me as everyone looked at me with sympathy, we were the Hogwarts golden couple. I put on my black dress and brushed my hair before leaving my room. 

" You ready princess?" My dad asked as soon as I went downstairs. 

" No," I responded meekly trying to hold in the tears.

" Come here," He said bringing me in for a hug and kissing the top of my head as tears ran down my face. " The Weasleys are coming, and they're bringing Potter and Granger," He said trying to cheer me up. I just nodded and made my way to the car. My dad may be a dick to everyone but not to me, and he may hate my friends but he wants to make me happy so he'll do anything for that.

When we arrived at Amos' house I carefully got out of the car nit wanting to go in and see this place without Ced in it. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door and was greeted by Mrs Diggory. She pulled me into a hug as soon as she saw me and it took everything in me to not cry again. I hated crying all the time and this was the first time in weeks that I was actually going out beside when I rode the train home. 

" How are you, sweetie?" She asked holding my shoulders and looking me over.

" How good can I be?" I asked laughing dryly. She nodded sadly understanding the feeling as she did lose her son. I looked at the ring on my hand and back to her. " Do you want this back?" I asked holding the ring out to her.

" No, he'd want you to keep it. I think it'd be a horrible thing to take it from you," She said bringing me inside. " He really did love you, he talked about you non stop and all his letters had something in them about you." I laughed wiping the tears that brimmed my eyes. She left to greet other guests and I was left to look around the home and I spotted a certain red-headed family. I walked over to them and Molly brought me in for a hug as soon as she noticed me.

" You look great," She said smiling sadly at me.

" Thanks, so do you," She patted my arm and hugged me again before she went to find the twins. 

" How are you?" Ron asked and I shrugged.

" I honestly don't know anymore," I said and he nodded.

" Well, you always have me to talk to or owl." I laughed slightly as he said this.

" You never answer," I said and he shrugged smiling

" I could start," He countered and I just shook my head laughing when I got tackled into a hug.

" How are you?" Hermione asked and I sighed.

" I'm getting tired of hearing that," I said and she nodded. I sighed looking around again and saw Harry talking to Amos. I remembered how Harry was when he- he still can't say it, and poor Amos, his pride and joy. I wiped my tears away as I thought about this.

" Don't think about it," Hermione said rubbing my arm.

" I've tried," I said laughing dryly. " I've tried so fucking hard Hermione, It hurts, so much, I know he wouldn't want me to be sad we've had this talk but I can't do this." She rubbed my back as she hugged me.

" You don't have to do it alone," Ron said and Hermione nodded. 

" Hey, Y/n" I heard Harry say causing me to turn around, he smiled at me gently at me as I wiped any more tears that might have fallen. 

" Hey Harry," I said glad he wasn't asking how I was. I knew he knew how it felt to be constantly pestered with the question. I was about to talk to them about how their week has been but I was interrupted by Amos.

" Hey Y/n!" Amos cheered bringing me into a hug. " You look splendid! Come with me I want to talk to you really fast," I nodded following him away from my friends.

" We were going to pack away Cedric's stuff and we wanted you to go through and you can take anything you want," He said holding my shoulders as we were at the bottom of the stairs. I nodded looking up them and not really wanting to go up them and into his room that I'd only ever been in with him. " You don't have to now we can pack it away as soon as you're ready."

I didn't answer him but I did start walking up the stairs running my hand on the railing. When I reached the top I looked back down seeing everyone talking, the air filled with sadness. I took a breath and went to his door but I couldn't go in. I didn't want to see it without him in there, knowing he was never going to be in there again. I took another breath and opened the door my breath hitching as I saw it. I walked over to his bed running my hands on the sheets as I tried hard not to cry. I went to his nightstand grabbing the picture on it and smiled for the first time in a while, it was a genuine smile. I loved this picture of us, it was taken at my house under the mistletoe that I'd convinced my dad to put up but as soon as we kissed he ripped it off. 

I walked to the closet opening it seeing all his clothes and jerseys. I still had his sweater, his lucky one even though I don't think it's lucky anymore. I grabbed his Quidditch jersey holding it close to me. I took out his old robes and smiled through the tears as I thought about all the things we used to do. I looked up top seeing my old gifts up there, most of them stuffed animals from Valentine's day. I took the fox one day after a bit of struggle, he said he liked this one the most. I turned around when I heard the door open and Amos walked in with some boxes.

" You can just put whatever you want in here," He said smiling sadly and I nodded putting his jersey in it and the fox. I put the picture of us and a couple more hoodies and sweatshirts in it. 

I was looking through his closet when I came upon a box that had ' My love' written on it. I opened it smiling as I saw all our pictures that weren't framed and all our little notes. I took the notes out reading them and couldn't help but laugh at them as they seemed so stupid now. I couldn't believe that he had kept them all, it amazed me. I jumped at the sound of a voice that made me turn around.

" It's nice hearing you laugh again," Ron said standing in the doorway. I was about to ask why he was up here when he cut me off. " They wanted you to do a speech for Cedric." I nodded getting up and brushing nay dust that may have gotten on me.

" I'm Y/n Snape and as you may or may not know I was engaged to Cedric before he um he," I coughed still not being able to say it. " I loved him so much, I still do, he was my light on the darkest of days he always was there for me. We could be fighting but if I needed him he'd be there in an instance that's what I loved about him most. He made me laugh so much and made me so so mad at the same time." Everyone laughed at this nodding and wiping tears.

" I wish he could've been here to see our wedding and make it actually happen as we talked about so many times. I wish he could be here to see all of you, but I really hope that he's somewhere happy and knows how much we love and miss him. I hope I was as good to him as he was to me." With that, I stepped off the podium and to where the trio was. I hugged Ron as I couldn't hold teh tears in anymore.

" We're here for you, no worries, it's all going to be okay," I just nodded as he said this rubbing my back.

As we left and I was still wiping tears from my eyes Amos and his wife stopped me. " We'll send the stuff you picked out to you soon," I nodded saying thanks. " It's no worries dear, and you'll always be welcome here. You're still our daughter no matter what okay?" I nodded hugging them both saying my goodbyes.
