Ron woke up late in the morning the next day. The nurses came over and made sure his wounds were healing quickly. After that, he had his breakfast, a sponge bath, and then changed his clothes. Thankfully, he didn't find any trouble moving around other than some occasional pain here and there.
"Wait." He just remembered the girl he was sharing the room with and quickly moved the curtain between their beds. "Daphne, how are y—"
Fuck! What's with my timing? Ron froze at the sight. Daphne was in the middle of changing her clothes. Keep calm, Ron. So what if you haven't had anyone in a while?
Daphne was looking upward while fitting her head through the change of clothes, her previous hospital gown was completely removed and a new gown fell over her eyes. She didn't notice Ron that instant, but Ron noticed every part of her body.
Due to the unfortunate circumstances, she wasn't provided a fresh set of underwear, but it was very fortunate for Ron. He couldn't pull his gaze away.
Without a bra, her breasts were jutting forward, tight and sizable, beautiful and milky pale. Her belly was toned and heaving, her legs full and soft. Her blonde hair was tied in a ponytail, messily swaying left and right as she wiggled her arms and body into the dress. Ron almost gulped as he imagined the dress that slid down her breasts and waist were his hands, sliding up her curves.
I'm such a pervert. Self-awareness was not lost on him.
And despite no makeup on her face, she looked amazing. Ron felt hard in an instant.
"Ah sorry!" Ron stopped admiring and quickly closed the curtain.
Shhh…!
The curtains were moved again a few moments later. This time Daphne walked out and approached his bed. Thankfully, she held no expression of anger or embarrassment.
"How are you?" Daphne asked him, measuring his body from head to toe to see how many places were bandaged. "Does it hurt?"
"I can walk, speak, eat, and fuck—I mean, I'm fine. Just a little pain here and there." Ron cursed his funny thoughts. Being a horny young man wasn't always the best. "What about you?"
"I…" Daphne didn't answer right away. Instead, she sat down on Ron's bed without asking and laid down right beside him, her head on his pillow. She looked at confused Ron, who was still sitting on the bed. "I was supposed to die yesterday."
"What?!" Ron exclaimed, all his arousal gone in an instant. He relaxed back as well but rested sideways, supporting himself on his elbow. "Why?"
Daphne breathed deeply. "Did you forget what happened between us in school?"
Ron frowned. "But it was only oral."
"Not to them. Not to the pureblood families." Daphne answered and laid straight, closing her eyes. She hugged herself with her arms as if she was cold. "I was ordered to court you completely."
Ron pulled the quilt up to make her feel warm. He also stopped looking at her and laid flat, shoulder to shoulder beside her. "I know. That's why I didn't go all the way with you. Doing that would have ruined your name."
"But you did go all the way." Daphne blurted in response. "To them, to all the families, the fact that you appeared at my house meant that I succeeded… I succeeded in sleeping with you."
Bloody hell! Ron had an epiphany and realized why everything happened the way it happened. But he let Daphne continue.
"Father wanted me to do as the Dark Lord commanded. But once I told them that you were coming to our home, he changed. H-He removed me from the family tree, the inheritance, and ordered me to die alongside you, the blood traitor I slept with. To clear the taint on the Greengrass family."
So she sat there waiting for her death? Ron had guessed that already. He couldn't help but turn towards her and gently place his palm on the other side of her cold face to make her look towards him. She had accepted her death… Betrayed by her own blood.
"I thought Slytherin were cowards," Ron commented. "You proved me wrong."
Solemnly, Daphne's blue eyes tremble, holding back tears. "R-Ron!"
She suddenly jumped up and wrapped her arms around Ron's head, pushing him back down as she fell over his chest. She hugged him tight as if finding a source of warmth and safety in him.
Ron didn't fail her as he embraced her back, both his firm arms held her tightly around her back. His one hand soon caressed her hair, combing his fingers through them.
"W-What should I do now, Ron?" Daphne asked him while her face remained hidden beside his ear, over the pillow. Her voice was muffled.
Unbothered by her weight on him, he let her stay that way for as long as she needed. She had lost her entire family in a single night. They may be out there alive right now, but their end destination was predestined to be Azkaban.
"I lost everything!"
Ron sighed and clenched her tighter against himself. "You're not alone, Daphne. I mean, I may not be your friend but I'm here. I'm not the strongest but I'd gladly jump into a battle to save you if the need arises, I'm a Gryffindor, after all. Mm… I can introduce you to my friends too. You're a top student, you'll love seeing Hermione."
Ron knew he was just yapping at that point to calm her down. Daphne may not be the kindest or the most goodhearted witch, but she wasn't evil. Not by a long shot. Nor did he want her to become evil, which was a possibility after her traumatic experience. So, he wanted to give her as much help as possible.
"Even if I'm a Slytherin?" Daphne pulled her face back all of a sudden and stared down right at his.
Ron scoffed. "I'm a pureblood too, but am I evil?"
"No, you're not." She smiled softly, beautifully. "Not at all, Ron… Not at all."
Then you're wrong, Miss. I'm an absolute scumbag. Ron told himself. Shouldn't Madam Bones be here in the hospital too? It's been nine months already.
"Ron."
"Hm?" He focused back on her.
Like a flower, Daphne bloomed, her sullen and depressed face seemed bright. Her elbows were at both sides of Ron's head while her fingers were caressing his hair. "Can I ask you something?"
"As long as it's not my life."
"Hehe, no. Not that." Daphne exhaled softly on his face. On lips, in particular. "Half of the wizarding Britain knows, and the other half will know soon."
"Know what?"
"That..." Her porcelain face lowered a bit. "That Daphne Greengrass slept with Ron Weasley and gave him her virginity."
Ron jolted a little at the scandalous rumor. "But that's not true."
"Then make it true!"
"What?! Ummm…!"
Daphne smothered his lips with her own, pulling his head to come closer as she pried his lips with her tongue. Her hot breath filled his mouth as she struggled to taste his heat.
Ron was shocked at first, but accepted it willingly, hugging her back and pressing her body onto his. How could he not? She wasn't one of the best-known beauties in the school for no reason.
As their heated exchange continued, Ron could feel the slight tingle starting to rise in his loins. The short-lived sense of shock had turned to a fervent urge, a craving that knotted up his lower belly and twitched his loins.
Ron recklessly rolled both their bodies to the side, his tongue tirelessly tasting her scorching mouth while his hands explored the smooth curve of her back, up and down, pressing her onto his body with hunger. Rolling further, Ron got on top of her as he kept kissing her.
But then a sudden realization hit him. He broke away from the kiss and sat back up, his knees spread, straddling her slender waist.
"Are you sure?" Ron asked, staring at her face below with passion.
Daphne nodded firmly. "Only you… It can only be you."
Her tone was practically asking him to take her. So Ron quickly took off his hospital gown, pulling it up and off of his head; eagerness oozing off his every move.
After all the hard work he had put in, his muscular body was now quite defined, earning a gleam from Daphne's blue eyes. She never knew the redheaded boy was a man under all those clothes.
"My turn." Daphne proudly asserted.
Ron chuckled and got off of her, then off the bed. He rushed to the room's door and locked it. When returning, he ditched his underwear too, and approached the bed as naked as the day he was born.
"Blimey…" Ron exclaimed at the gorgeous beauty.
