Chain of Drabbles

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Title: Chain of memories? No! Chain of Drabbles!

Pairing for the chapter: Harry/Ron/Hermione

Warnings: none

Prompt: Horcrux Hunt

After fourth year Ron promised to himself he would never leave Harry or Hermione ever again, no matter how hard things were.

That vow was put to the test when they went Horcrux hunting though. The locket seemed to affect him more than it did Harry or Hermione, but not only that, they were all alone, often in the middle of nowhere, hungry, with no plan whatsoever and Ron often felt as if things were going downhill.

Things went even worse when he was fighting with Harry.

"Leave the locket!" Harry demanded, extending his hand.

"Fine! Have it!" And Ron threw the locket at him and left. And stopped just outside their tent 'door'. What the hell was he doing? Ron and Hermione were his friends! Hell, Hermione was his almost-girlfriend even. And Harry was... well he was Harry! With a frustrated sigh, Ron ran a hand over his face and stepped inside again.

"I'm sorry! That- that thing," Ron hissed, "seems to affect me more than it does the two of you, I'm sorry."

And then Harry was hugging him, clutching him as if he was a lifeline that would disappear, and Hermione was hugging him from behind and Ron had one arm around Harry and one hand clutching Hermione's, and for the first time since their adventure begun, they were all right.

And then Harry was kissing him and mumbling about never loosing the two of them ever again, and Ron was fine with that development, Hermione was too, once Harry and him had kissed her and assured her that she was theirs.

And when everything was said and done, their triad, the first in over five hundred years, was formed.
