Chapter Two - Meeting the Weasley's

Molly Weasley burst past the curtains surrounding my bed and immediately embraced her son, who is now me

She loosened her hug and said, "Ronald Bilius Weasley we thought you were dead. when Fred and George brought you, I half thought it was a prank".

"I'm sor-" as I was apologizing she embraced me once again. It was beginning to get hard to breathe.

It took her a few minutes for her to finally release me.

"I should be the one apologizing: I wasn't there for you when you awoke" Molly said

"It's okay"

"It's because I went off and exterminated all the pests."

"I'm not mad"

"I know how much you love going outside and I hope this does not make you scared of our yard"

"I am fine!" that came out harsher than I meant, "I just played with something I shouldn't have, I made you worry". Well technically it wasn't me, but I would rather not make the people that now take care of me cry

"It's okay Ronnicans" Fred and George said simultaneously they each moved to one side of the bed.

"We'll make sure"

"To protect you From now on"

"Count on your Big Bros"

"By the way, I was the one who found you"

"And I carried all the way back"

"To the burrow"

'This is going to take a while to get used to'. I took note of who was surrounding me Arthur was standing at the foot of my bed while Ginny was hiding behind him. Fred flanked my right next to his mother, 'wait how can I tell the difference?' 'that's a question for later'. On my left George resided by himself. I believe Bill and Charlie are at Hogwarts.

"Mom is Ronald being mind-controlled by a mushroom?" 'that explains why she was standing the furthest away from me'.

"Don't listen to your brother's Ginny. Was it Fred and George that told you that?"

Ginny quickly nodded, at which point Molly gave both of them a glare, "I will talk to both of you later"

if looks could kill there the whole lineage would be dead.

It has been two days since I've woken up in the body of Ron Weasley. The day I ended up taking over was actually my new birthday. March first, 1987, and no I don't think it was a coincidence it happened on his seventh birthday. 'How did I end up in this situation?'

The man I ran into was probably a wizard, 'Was I living in the Harry Potter universe the whole time?' or maybe he was some R.O.B. coming to claim my soul. Regardless I have more important things to be doing than theorizing. Despite being on house arrest (Bed Rest) and only exiting my room for food, I can still do things.

I go into meditation the feeling of leaving my body and entering my mind. I've already experienced it once, so doing it again can't be too hard, which was quickly disproven. I close my eyes and I try to play through every memory I've ever had. I know part of my mind is locked off to me. I can only access this body's memories and the seven harry potter books, but I can feel all of the holes.

I push harder. I must fully let go of my body, by the end I'm a sweating mess and haven't made any progress to fully accessing my mind. I drink the water next to my bed, 'maybe I should switch it up'

I stole one of Percy's first-year books, technically it's going to be mine in a few years, no harm no foul.

Before being able to learn occlumency I should be able to do some basic charms. I feverishly through myself into my magical practice, and before I knew it 3 day's had passed

"Arthur I am unsure if Ron is really okay."

"I actually have some concerns myself", Arthur replied

"Whenever he comes down for a meal he doesn't immediately start snacking, but actually waits for his turn and uses silverware", Molly explained

"Molly, he has also stayed in his room for 3 days without getting into trouble a single time"

"Do you think the incident has changed him? maybe he's afraid to go outside?" 'I don't think he's set a foot outside'

"We can't let him become some recluse" Arthur stated, "Let's have him watch over Ginny tomorrow"

"He just got out of the hospital, and he probably wouldn't want to babysit"

"Something must be done, Molly"

"Your right" 'I really hope that he is okay'.

///// Pov Switch - Ronald - Morning

I walk down the stairs and begin to eat breakfast 'I have progressed a lot at first I could only make a piece of paper twitch, but at this point, I'm capable of lifting several pieces of silverware without much effort. I believe the reason casting magic at a young age, especially without a wand is not because of low magic supply, but a lack of control. In the first movie harry made glass disappear, then reappear without even trying'

'I feel as though I have enough magic power to cast spells indefinitely, but the longer I progress the more strain I feel. The manipulation of mana is what things like wands help a wizard do, Mana potions don't exist simply because they are unnecessary to wizards and witches.

At least I won't have to charge my mana like {????}. 'Another hole' I've only run into more and more gaps in my knowledge since my awakening. It mostly happens when I'm trying to draw comparisons. I'm suddenly drawn out of my musing when Molly calls "Ron"

"Would you be able to watch over Ginny today?"

As I begin my protest Arthur Steps is

"Please son, you haven't left your room once since coming back"

"Arthur" Molly chastises, most likely not liking his directness.

By this point the whole table is staring at me 'It wouldn't do me well if they thought something was wrong, I can't get sent back to the hospital because I can't let people snoop in my head yet'

"Ya sure I'll stick with Ginny today"

Molly now looking pleased and Ginny already finished with breakfast I head out to explore. Soon to be followed by Fred and George.
