Crossing the bar Ron became more aware that he had drunk a lot more then he usually did and began to waver slightly. The wench that had been serving him all night now approached him, "Mr. Weasley sir?" she asked the question unspoken, but still voiced.
"Nah, Marry, I'll be fine. You know I only live two doors down," he said, he may have been wobbly but his voice was as coherent as it had been when he entered.
"Okay, take care." The said. Poor man, she though to herself, what has he been though that he had to drown his sorrows at a shithole bar like this.
The stepped out into the pouring rain, and turned towards his small flat situated above a small tobacco shop down the deserted street. At the end of the street stood a lone figure. With his view obscured by the downpour of rain Ron drew his wand from the inside pocket of his cloak.
"Who ever you are you'd better identify yourself, I'm armed and not afraid to use force!" Ron called out to the figure.
The figure began to walk forward, slowly as though his feet were lead. Yet the figured made no attempt to identify itself vocally or physically. The person became clearer to Ron but he still could not identify them, they wore a plain black cloak its hood pulled over their head, which covered the face.
"Stop where you stand!" Warned Ron. "Identify yourself now or don't bother to come any closer."
Yet still the figure continued to advance showing no signs of even hearing Ron's shouts. Ron raised his wand and with a curse on the tip of his tongue opened his mouth. Yet his mouth closed again a soon as it had opened, he tried again to utter the curse. Again to no avail... His mouth didn't want to utter the curse, though his brain was screaming at him to defend himself.
His brain called to him. Come on you pratt defend yourself damnit! Don't turn coward now... Great just imagine the headlines tomorrow in The Prophet... "Hero Fallen!" I can see it now... "Ron Weasley famed Auror, and the who almost single-handedly brought You-Know-Who to his demise, a who plunged his bare hands into the chest of the Dark Lord and ripped out then crushed his heart, bringing the years of terror to and end. Has fallen victim to a Muggle attack. Weasley had spent yet another night sitting in a Muggle bar Drinking himself into an alcoholic stupor. Leaving the bar he was attacked. He was found hours later when the Bar Keep left after closing up "He was just lying there on the stoop bleeding it was awful, he had some sort of wand in his hand..."
One can only assume that the "some sort of wand" was the same wand that he had used to bring You-Know-Who to his Knees before his heroic act. One can only wonder why he had not used it? Had the Auror lost his nerve or had he just been too drunk to utter a charm."
This ran though his head even as the dark figure approached. As his brain finally got though to his mouth, the hooded figure stopped and still not speaking raised his hands to his hood and revealed his face. Ron stopped midway though raising his wand and stood there, his face went slack. He was gazing into emerald eyes though round glasses set askew on his face. Where as Ron remembered the person standing in front of him has having eyes vibrant and full of life and hair and tousled... yet the creature that stood before him looked dead his eyes staring straight ahead, his hair was lacklustre and thinning. Yet standing before him was Harry Potter.
"H...Ha...Harry?" Gasped Ron. "Is it you?"
Harry didn't answer, he only stood there staring.
"Harry!" Exclaimed Ron, "Harry... Can you hear me?"
Still nothing.
Ron went to him bridging the short distance between them. He grasped Harry by the shoulders and shook him. This seemed to jousle Harry from his stupor... slightly, his eyes now blinked and looked at Ron, yet still held that dead look. "R...on?" He whispered. "Is that you, I can't hardly see you."
"Oh Harry!" the cried, "yeah it's me. It's Ron Weasley. I'm right here in front of you."
Harry's eyes began to focus in on the direction of Ron. And suddenly his was back his eyes lit up... though they still held despair in them but the look of death was gone they were shining in the downpour. Which Ron had forgotten was falling around them.
"I've found you, I've finally found you!" cried Harry.
"Oh Harry," hiccupped Ron and the collapsed to the wet pavement of the sidewalk sobbing uncontrollably.
Harry bent over and with strength one would have thought was absent, scooped his lover into his arms. Cradling him in his arms he carried him the rest of the way to the tobacco shop and some how managed to get the door to the staircase that lead to the flat open. Harry's strength began to wan at the apex of the stairs yet still he gripped tight not daring to set Ron down to get the door the flat open. He fumbled and shifted Ron about to get at his pockets to search for the keys to open the mahogany door that was the final barrier to the sanctuary of Ron's home. Finding them he shifted Ron once more to get the key into the lock and he pushed the door open to a single roomed flat. Which was very meagrely furnished, a bed unmade, a table that had been cleared of its occupants, and a small kitchenette was all that adorned the floors. Harry carried Ron to the bed and set him atop the messed covers where he curled up into a ball.
Harry crawled into the bed beside him and held him close. "Harry... Where have you been, everyone thinks your dead?"
"Shhhhh..." chided Harry.
Ron turned over to look at Harry again. Their lips meeting... Suddenly Harry pulled back...
"Harry... Harry what's wrong?" Ron asked looking into Harry's eyes.
Harry's emerald eyes had go wide as though in pain. When he opened his mouth to answer what came out were not words, a viscous black slime began to spill out. Harry began to make sick gagging noises. Ron jumped from the bed not escaping in time the black slime covering the coat that Ron still wore... and the stench. Ron had smelled death before. He had smelled corpse who had been rotting in enclosed tombs for months. He had smelled fresh horrid gases emitted from deep within bellies, but this went beyond that a combination of all these and rotten egg and things that could have only been thought of by the most twisted of minds. Harry was now pleading with his hands out stretched to Ron in desperation. Ron's eyes wide took in the whole of Harry his lightning scar was now splitting and began leaking the same back viscous fluid. His skin was pulling tight and shriving as a grape becoming a raisin. His skin colour becoming green and blue as though a huge bruise becoming visible, then it started to fall off in large black clumps. His clothes were being eaten away as though the slime was an acid.
Ron was rooted to the spot looking on in horror mouth open is a silent scream. Before him was the corpse of a who had been dead for years his skeleton turning to ash and crumbling. The only sign that the monster before him was once Harry Potter was the vivid green eyes still staring pleadingly at him.
The blackness emitting from his now skinless lips came to an abrupt stop and the skull opened its lipless mouth, "R-r-r-r-o-o-o-n-n-n, S-s-a-a-v-v-v-e-e m-m-m-m-e-e-e-e" it moaned, then becoming clear voiced it said one last word, "Malfoy!"
Harry's eyes them exploded in a gush of retinal fluid and blood, and the rest of the body caved in.... Ron woke on the stoop of the Muggle bar he had just left with Marry looking over him screaming. He joined her their voices combining in an eerie duet.
