Ron never gave it much thought outside of quidditch, and you didn’t need good marks for that. He wanted to be an Auror, of that he was sure and for that he had to get better marks.
As he took another bite of the toast with jam in front of him and drank his milk he came to a decision. He wouldn’t try to memorize the entirety of the library of Hogwarts like Hermione. But maybe he could study more. Trying harder on his homework would be a good place to start. He finished his bacon, and downed his mi...
"Where are you going Ronald?" She asked.
He honestly forgot that she was there. He wasn’t really speaking to her at the moment.
"The library." He said shortly.
"Whatever for?" She asked.
Ron bit back the sarcastic comment on the tip of his tongue. "I would like to get a start on my summer assignments."
Molly looked pleasantly surprised.
"Yes you see Sirius made me see the light." Ron smirked at the instant reaction of that particular statement.
"Oh really. And just what did that...man have to say that changed your study habits? Molly said with her hands on her hips.
Arthur was standing behind his wife with a look of curiosity. He was due to be at work soon, but he wanted to know the answer to the question as well.
"Sirius gave me and Hermione a letter. It was from Harry. Harry made it clear that Sirius expected him to do well in school." Ron looked his mother straight in the eye. "Say what you want about Sirius mum, he is far from stupid. Hermione told me that him, James Potter, Professor Lupin, Professor Snape, and Lily Evans w...
Molly blew out a harsh breath. "That doesn’t explain..."
Ron interrupted her. "When Sirius pulled me and Hermione into the library, he made it clear that Harry’s education came first and foremost. Wherever Sirius has Harry healing, he plans to build on his education that was lacking at Hogwarts. He told me very bluntly that I could keep up or get left behind."
"How dare he imply such a thing!"
Ron snorted. She would never change.
"Son. What do you mean the education was lacking?" Arthur asked.
Ron looked at his father like he had grown another head. "Seriously? Is that a real question?"
"I am quite serious son. What did you mean?"
Ron thought that his father had channeled the twins and was playing a prank on him. But when he looked in his father’s eyes he saw the truth behind them. He honestly didn’t know.
"What part would you like to know? The part where we battled a troll to save Hermione in the girl’s loo, or the part where Harry killed Quirrell at the end of first year to protect the sorcerer’s stone?"
Arthur and Molly went pale.
"I need a drink." Kreatcher popped in with a tumbler of firewhiskey. For some reason Kreatcher liked Arthur. No one could figure out why. He popped back out.
"I think you should start from the beginning son."
"Shouldn’t you be getting to work dear?"
Arthur pulled out parchment, ink and quill and had a note sent of to his office.
He gestured to his son. "Go ahead Ronald."
"I think it would be best to view it in the pensieve. Just in case I forget something." Just then the pensieve popped onto the table. "Thanks Kreature." Ron said.
"Do you know how to remove the memory Ron?" Ron shook his head. "Just think of the memory you want to show us and put it in the front of your mind."
Ron thought hard and nodded that he was ready.
Arthur extracted the memory from Ron and placed it in the swirling liquid. Arthur and Molly went to view the memory. Ronald didn’t go in. He had lived it.
When Arthur came out of the memory he looked enraged. "Why the hell were we never told about this?!"
"Arthur calm down..." Molly tried but Arthur was pissed.
"CALM DOWN?! CALM DOWN?! MY DAMN SON BATTLED A TROLL IN HIS FIRST YEAR AND YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN?!
Molly shrank back in her seat. Arthur never raised his voice like this. "I’m sure the Headmaster had his reasons for not telling us."
Ron rolled his eyes at his mother. Dumbledore could tell her she was a blonde and she would believe it. Arthur gave his son back the memory.
"What else happened in that school?" Arthur gritted out the word school.
"Well the stone I told you about, was made with the elixir of life. A creation of the Flammels. Anyway, it makes you immortal. Now take one guess who would like to get their hands on that more than anything."
"Voldemort." Molly whispered.
"Ten points to Gryffindor!" Ron proclaimed.
"But he only came back this year. Why..."
Ron interrupted his mother with a shocked gasp "You people just listen to whatever it is that comes out of his mouth. Why do you think I was laid up in the hospital wing at the end of first year? What were you told had happened?"
Arthur had an affronted look on his face before he narrowed his eyes. "Just that you were playing a game and had an accident. I take it that is not total story."
"Nope. Time for the next memory. I would like to introduce you to Fluffy." Ron had a wicked grin on his face.
Arthur removed the memory and put it into the liquid. He and his wife went in.
Once again Ron did not go into the memory. He didn’t need to.
"A FUCKING CERBERUS?! IN A SCHOOL FILLED WITH CHILDREN!!" Arthur was going to strangle Albus.
Even Molly was having trouble justifying that one. Her babies where in that school! "I don’t have any words to be honest. Although Hermione’s priorities seem a bit skewed."
Ron chuckled. "That’s what Harry and I thought."
"How did you get hurt son?" Arthur replaced the memory.
Ron thought about them going after the stone, and signaled for his father to remove it. Arthur and Molly went into the memory again. Kreatcher had popped in and refilled Arthur’s drink. He had iced pumpkin juice for the other two and popped away.
When Arthur came out of the memory he looked at his son. "Why on earth didn’t you find an adult?"
"Do you think we didn’t try dad? Dumbledore had left the castle and McGonagall didn’t believe us."
"What happened after you got injured?" Molly sighed.
"From what the other two told me they had to pass through some type of logic problem involving potions. But only one of them could go through to the next stage. Harry found the wanna be thief to be Quirrell. I’m not sure of the particulars, but Harry killed Quirrell and saved the stone. But I left out the best part. Vo...
Before she could hit the floor, her son caught her and lowered her to the ground.
"Are you sure son?" Arthur was shaking so badly that he was unable to revive his wife.
"Yes dad." Honestly. What was it with adults? Who could make this shit up?
Arthur took a deep breath to calm himself and revived his wife. Molly came around moaning low. Her eyes shot open and she looked at her son.
"Are you alright?" Molly was checking him over for imagined injuries.
Ron giggled "Mum I’m fine. It was three years ago."
"Why didn’t that man tell us?!"
Ron shrugged. "Beats me. I thought he did. What bothers me most is that none of us got any counseling or something. I mean especially Harry. He killed someone. And he was just a kid!"
"And then sent back to an abusive home." Arthur mused.
Ron clapped his hands in an amusing fashion. "Well are we ready for second year. The plot thickens and all that rot."
"I’m not sure I want to." Molly sighed
"Oh I do. And don’t think for a second that I won’t be speaking to Albus." Molly just nodded because she knew that he was right.
"Well I’m sure you know about the Chamber of Secrets?"
"There was a rumor that it was opened and...it wasn’t a rumor was it?" Arthur sighed.
"No. That’s where we rescued Ginny. She had been forced into the chamber by Tom Riddle where he was draining her life force as you know. What you may not know is that the "Slytherin monster’ also known a 60 foot basilisk was released and petrifying the students." Wait for it...
"A WHAT?! WHY WERE THE KIDS NOT SENT HOME?!" Molly bellowed.
Ron concentrated "I’m ready dad." Arthur pulled the memory of he and Harry going to Lockhart for help. He showed them what happened after they went down the drain. He waited for the explosion.
"I’ll kill him!"
"Which him. Dumbledore or Lockhart? I will say in Dumbledore’s defense, that the board of governors where aware of the attacks but didn’t do anything about. The Ponce Malfoy convinced the Minister that it was Hagrid and had him arrested."
"What happened after the two of you got separated?" Arthur asked.
"From what I understand, Harry came into contact with a shade of Tom Riddle and... wait. Did the Headmaster tell you who Tom Riddle was?"
"No. He just said he was a former student who was into the dark arts."
"I am Lord Voldemort is an anagram of Tom Marvolo Riddle." What happened next shocked even Ron.
"Ginny!!" Both adults called out for their daughter.
Ginny was on her way to the kitchen when she heard her parents scream her name. She drew her wand ready for some unknown threat. But when she burst into the kitchen she roughly grabbed by both of her parents. Her mother was sobbing wildly and her father looked a mix between fear and rage.
"We didn’t know Ginny. I swear." Molly cried.
"Um big brother. A little hint as to what this is about?"
"I told them about second year Gin."
"Oookay. Why the water works again?"
"They know who Tom Riddle is." Ron said, but had a sinking feeling in his gut as he looked at his sister.
"Yeah some kid who was into the dark arts. We’ve been over this already." Ginny looked confused.
"Oh you’ve got to be kidding me. Really?! He didn’t tell you?"
"Ron maybe you shouldn’t..." Molly started.
"Tell me what?" Ginny demanded as she left the circle of her parent’s arms and stood in front of her brother.
"Ronald!" Molly tried again.
"No secrets mum. Remember." He turned to his sister. I am Lord Voldemort is an anagram of Tom Marvolo Riddle.
And for the second time that day, Ron had an unconscious Weasley female in his arms.
"Mum and Dad. She needs a mind healer. I know from the other girls in her dorm she still has nightmares."
"I thought she was fine. She didn’t say anything." Molly said.
"She needs help Mum."
"I know luv, but well we can’t... I mean we..." Molly looked to her husband.
"We can’t afford it son."
"Then allow me to offer my services as Steward to the Ancient and Noble Houses of Black and Potter to assist in this matter." Remus said from the doorway.
Initially Remus was going to write a letter about including Ron in the Summer lessons, but decided against it. It was best to deal with Molly Weasley in person. He told the Grangers where he was going, and made his way to Grimmauld.
He knew he shouldn’t have eavesdropped, but once he found out the subject matter he continued to do so. Harry would want to help the Weasleys anyway that he could. They were kind to him when no one else had been in his young life.
