The happiness of HP

The night is like ink, covering everything and smearing people's hearts.Severus silently watched his partner leaning against the window, hands resting on the wooden sills.He didn't bother him, and even rarely took the initiative to block his telepathy with him, including sending the children back to their room and sending Silver Fox away alone.He knew too well the bonds between the youngest son of the Weasley family and his own young people. Although he kept saying over the years that his relationship with the red-haired kid was no longer what it used to be, Severus always felt that there was no relationship between them. Would have ended the friendship so simply that one day, they would be friends again.Severus was even ready to accept that a man who had once tried to kill him would show up freely in his home one day, if Harry pleased.However, when the bad news just came, he saw Harry calmly appease George, and asked about the situation of Jasmine and Arthur, and then agreed that he would visit the Burrow tomorrow.It's just that at Prince's reception later, the fighting power of those who tried to speak for Prince's family soared. He dared to say that after today, no one would dare to say a good word for Prince again, and absolutely No adult in the Prince family dared to wave in front of himself and him.He could see that Harry was really angry.

"Sev," said Harry, closing the window with his hand, and walking slowly to his husband, "I never intended to bring Ron Weasley back to our home, and even if he hadn't killed himself, he wouldn't have used that of the day. Well, you don't have to unilaterally block it. I think we need to talk. Do you have a right to listen to my crap?"

"Okay." Severus nodded, and pulled the young man onto the bed, but didn't unshield himself.

"Sev, I'm really surprised," Harry said calmly, sitting on the bed, pulling the quilt up for himself, "I thought he would live to be very old, at least when Hugo got married, I was still able to I saw him when I went to the Weasley's house for the wedding. The news was really sudden. I heard Charlie say that he was not in good shape recently, but I didn't expect this to be the case." Hugo is one of Ron's sons, Harry had met him once at George's, and the kid was a lot of fun.

"You're angry, Harry," Severus said.

"Yes, you're right, I'm angry," said Harry.

"Why?" Severus asked patiently.

"How dare he? Say, Sev, how dare he die? Jasmine and Arthur have lost Fred, but that was in war, and sacrifices are inevitable. But what about Ron Weasley?" How dare he die?! How sad does Jasmine and Arthur have to be? And his wife, even though I heard that they are arguing for divorce, how would he let his wife deal with his death?! Let his wife bear the reputation of killing her husband?! Anyway, I can't understand it. And his brothers and sisters, he lost his job in the Auror Division all these years because of the injury he got that time Well, if Bill, Charlie, George, Percy, and Ginny hadn't been giving him money and helping him, I'm afraid he would be sleeping on the street. He ended up like this, yes, he himself was over, but what about his brother and sister ?! They hoped so hard that he would regain his faith one day, what would they do if he committed suicide like this?! And what about his 8 children? What would he let them do?! How would they face the fact that their father died? He drank a bottle of meth, and everything was over for him, and it was all over, but why let the living people feel bad?" Harry was really angry, "Suicide, thanks to his desire, what about his Gryffindor courage?  … ..."

Harry accused angrily.

"Harry, don't be angry. Maybe, something really happened to him? Let's go to the Weasley's house tomorrow to see what's going on. Now, everyone has different views on life. Since he has decided so, he must He was extremely disappointed in what happened to him." Severus comforted the young man in his family.

"You'll be with me?" Harry didn't expect Severus to decide to go with him.

"Of course, I'll accompany you." Severus reached out and stroked Harry's hair, "I'm not going to let you face things that might affect your mood alone."

"You're so kind, Sever." Harry was soothed by his husband, he straightened his upper body and kissed Severus lightly on the lips, "I love you."

"Okay, go to sleep. We'll know the reason tomorrow." Seeing that Harry finally calmed down, Severus lifted the one-sided shield.Unilateral shielding is very exhausting.

--

Harry and Severus paid a visit to the Weasleys' Burrow early the next morning, where they were greeted by Charlie and George.Both brothers looked haggard, but they were both embarrassed to see Harry and Severus coming so early.After all, Ron had hurt them both so badly, but they cared so much at this moment.

"Are Jasmine and Arthur okay? What's going on? They attended a reception at Prince's Manor yesterday, so they couldn't tell." Harry asked as soon as he sat down.

"Mom was crying so hard, she was just persuaded by Ginny to go to rest. Dad was also very sad, and he hasn't said a word since last night. Bill just sent people up." Charlie sighed heavily.

"Here are some emotional potions and some nutritional potions, which Jasmine and Arthur should need." Harry put the potions on the table.

"Thank you so much, Ron is so unfilial and made Mom and Dad heartbroken." George served a cup of tea to Harry and Severus.

At this time, there were footsteps on the stairs, it was Ginny and Bill, and they both welcomed Harry and Severus gratefully.

"Mommy is crying, oh, Ron..." Ginny sighed softly.

Bill's face was heavy. He was the eldest son, and he couldn't fall down at a time like this.

"Hasn't Percy come back yet?" Bill asked after glancing at his brothers and sisters.

"He came back and went out again. He went to contact the cemetery and the funeral. Charlie and I will go to Ron's house to check in a while. Lavender is not very reliable." Ginny said, "Bill, George, the house is I'll leave it to you. Oh, Harry, Headmaster Snape, I've really troubled you."

Harry and Severus didn't say anything, and after Ginny and Charlie left, Bill said something about—

"Ginny has investigated. He committed suicide with datura poison. He retired from the Auror Division because of injuries a few years ago, and has been in charge of the confiscated goods warehouse in the Auror Division since then—Ginny found out. Circumstances tell us that he brought the bottle of poison home from the warehouse. We know that he has been depressed for several years and has been going out drinking at night. Lavender complained to his mother several times that Ron often went out drinking late at night. If I don’t go home, I sometimes complain to Fleur and Angelina.” Bill said bitterly, shaking his head in pain.

"Even half a year ago, he beat Lavender, scaring the children." George added, "That's why Lavender wanted a divorce."

"Didn't he have any omens before?" Harry was silent for a moment, then asked.

"Thinking about it now, we were not careful enough. I heard from my mother that he came back inexplicably the day before yesterday and gave my mother some of his savings. It was only a few hundred Galleons. He said that he and Lavender were going to divorce and the children would come The Burrow. Then he went to the beach to visit Furong and me, and said some words of entrustment. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that I think about it..." Bill shook his head regretfully.

"What's the reason? Didn't he leave a suicide note or something?" Harry asked.

"Well, you and Professor Snape are not outsiders, you can see for yourself." Bill took out a piece of parchment.

Harry opened the parchment, and saw the familiar handwriting that was not even neat. Over the years, Ron's handwriting hadn't changed at all, it was as ugly and scribbled as ever.After reading it, Harry could only smile wryly.

"It said there were men out there in Lavender? Did you know that?" Harry asked.

"No, Ginny took Veritaserum last night, and it was Ron's own hysterical test. Rather..." Bill smiled wryly, but he didn't know what to say.

"If it's inconvenient, uh, don't worry about it." Harry said measuredly.

"Bill, Harry is not an outsider, maybe he can help." George said.

"Okay. It's a family misfortune... When St. Mungo's performed a medical examination on Ron's body last night, the doctor quietly told Ginny that there was a stillbirth in Ron..." Bill closed his eyes in pain, "Stillborn at 12 weeks."

"What?!" Harry was shocked by the news, and even Severus' expression changed.

"The few of us found the other father of the child through a special way of magic overnight." George gritted his teeth.

"How?" Harry asked immediately.

"That was a crazy old wizard in Knockturn Alley. Ginny used Desperation on him. It was like this. There was a red witch who sent the drunk Ron to the bed of this crazy wizard in Knockturn Alley. And that's it, the next day, the red witch took her away again." Bill said in pain, "If Ron's character really knows this, how can he accept this..."

"The problem is, if they are all wizards, the chances don't seem to be high?" Harry just felt strange, it shouldn't be so good, right?

"I don't know. Right now, we have no way to find the red witch. Ginny is trying to find a way to use the Aurors to find the red witch, but you also know that there are some suspicions of using public property for private use. After all, the matter of Ron It's not a shame, to be honest, we can't file a case. I know this may be against the Gryffindor beliefs, but we have to think about Ron's children. Charlie, George, and I feel that they have lost their father. We can't let them be slandered because of this incident. So, we didn't let Ginny report the crime..." Bill said with some struggle.

Harry nodded, understanding Bill and the others' considerations very well.Then he asked: "The witch in red? Is it just this feature? If it's the instigator, you should be able to know the appearance of that woman."

"Ginny said that the woman covered her face with a light veil and spoke a little crazy, but she seemed to know Ron in her words, and she hated Ron very much." Bill said, hesitating, "Ginny said, she felt that this woman It looks a little familiar."

"What? Is there any suspicion? An acquaintance?" Harry asked.

"No, it's just a guess: Well, a few years ago, before you came back, when Ron was an Auror, he had a relationship with a hostess, and that hostess liked to wear red Someone told Ginny that we only knew about it. Later, Ron was scolded by his mother for this, and Ron broke off with that woman. As for how we broke up, we don’t know. If it’s her revenge , that can only be said that Ron is self-inflicted. Lavender didn't know about this cheating, she was pregnant at the time, we didn't dare to say it, and my mother didn't let us say it." George said, he shook his head in disappointment. Shaking his head, "Harry, Professor Snape, none of you know that during that time, you were away and Hermione was pregnant again, so Ron was the most exposed hero, enjoying the worship of wizards. He was greedy at the time." A sum of money was almost reported by someone, and we blocked it for him. Later, he was chased and beaten by his mother, and he calmed down a bit. Ron, over the years, he has done a lot of bad things. It's so embarrassing."

After hearing George's words, Harry didn't know what to say. When did Ron become so unrecognizable to him?In his memory, Ron was a brave and upright boy. Although he pursued honor and tried desperately to prove himself, he was still a very good friend. If it wasn't for Severus, maybe Harry wouldn't be with him. Encounter.However, hearing these things he didn't know, he couldn't help feeling that time was so cruel, it changed everything.

"Well, Mom and Dad don't know about the stillbirth yet," Bill explained to Harry.

"Okay, I see." Harry nodded and said that he would not talk about it with the two old Weasleys.

"Uh, if possible, can I trouble you to find this woman? We just want to know why she did that." Bill begged, "I know it's a bit embarrassing..."

"Okay, I'll have a friend look it up." Harry interrupted Bill.

"Thank you, thank you very much, you are willing to forgive..." There was a gleam in Bill's eyes.

"No, Bill, I hope you understand that I'm helping you find it for nothing else, just because Ron is your brother and you are my friend." Harry interrupted Bill and said without question.

"Well, yes, thank you." Bill knew that it was a bit too much for him to ask Harry to forgive Ron. After all, Ron had never confessed to that incident before his death, nor had he apologized to Professor Snape.

……

It was already afternoon when Harry and Severus returned to Hogwarts. Severus seldom spoke at the Burrow, but he always took the initiative to help Harry with deliveries, run errands, and remind Harry what to do in due course .This allowed members of the Weasley family, except Charlie, who had been teaching at Hogwarts, to truly understand that Harry was truly happy. They asked Harry and Severus to attend Ron's funeral two days later, sending His last ride.Harry refused, but this decision made the Weasleys very understandable.They understood that the reason why Harry came here today was not because of Ron, but because he had always been grateful for Jasmine's great maternal love and the Weasley family's sacrifice in the war.As for Ron's funeral, there was no need for him to attend.
