Millie was about toprotest about putting them to a lot of trouble when Dobby appeared with a smalltable and a pensieve, "We have already put another bed in Miss Joan's roomand Winky has laid out night clothes for aunt Millicent""Dobby, you andWinky are the best," gushed Joan, which caused the little chap to actuallyblush.Millie finally got themessage that Hermione was trying to convey, she didn't want Joan to see thememory and this way the little girl would think she was helping her new aunt.She placed her memory in the pensive and left as Joan took her hand, Millie didn'teven acknowledge Ron's presence.The prat was seething butbefore he could begin a rant about how unfair life was to him Amelia, Tonks andConnie arrived."Ladies, we've allhad one hell of a night but there's something I want you and the prick lyinghere to see before we go somewhere else and answer your questions."They started the memoryplaying and the horcrux being destroyed put the first smile of the night onAmelia's face, though she did chuckle when Bellatrix tried to shield herselfwith her missing arm and ended up eating tree branch. The six-foot squirrel confusedher for a moment until the sharp ex-auror noticed the wand he was using andalmost passed out.That Peter Pettigrew wasdead was beyond doubt, his brain was fried and the amount of blood lost wouldend his life within minutes.Millie had nearly managedto sneak away with her burden when the bushy tailed one noticed her and spellsstarted raining down all around them as the hunt was now on, the deadly game ofhide and seek that followed raised everyone's opinion of Millicent Bulstrode.They could all see the poor girl was almost exhausted from lugging Weasley whenthe boom of Emma's shot gun gave her fresh hope, she immediately ran straighttowards the group. The Potters blasting the squirrel and catching his wand wasthe last action before they portkeyed out of there."Lord Potter, Itotally agree with you. That girl deserves the Order of Merlin and if I haveanything to do with it, First Class." Amelia had been astonished at theyoung girl's courage; anyone who could put down that Lestrange bitch definitelydeserved a medal.Ron's war cry of,"what about me?" was met with a mixture of distain, disbelief anddisgust though Ginny looked ready to rip his throat out."Let's see Ronald,your contribution to tonight was to scream your head off, wet yourself thencover your betrothed in blood, snot and piss while she hauled your unconsciousarse out of there. Not satisfied with that you then upset her and she leaveshere crying, personally I think you're an ungrateful bastard who should be hungfrom the ceiling by your balls but that's only my opinion."Luna made a face thatappeared as if she had swallowed a bug, "while I fully agree with yoursentiments Gin, that was one image I didn't need in my head. Ronald Weasleyyour greed and jealousy have cost you the two best friends you'll ever have, ayoung sister and now a girl who actually loves you so much she risked her ownlife to save yours. Being that you are the most selfish person I have ever metif it was Millicent that needed rescuing I'm betting you would have been outthat graveyard like a shot. She really is much to good for you."They all filed out thoughHarry hung back to speak to his former friend, "there's an old saying Ronthat people get what they deserve, I actually agree with Luna and thinkMillicent's way too good for you. If she gives you a second chance my advice wouldbe to grab it with both hands. Oh and my wife wasn't joking about mum and dad,you'll be leaving first thing in the morning for your own safety."
Harry left the pensieveplaying on a loop so Ron could watch it all night, he still reckoned Milliewould be better trying to beat some sense into him with her stick but at leasthe tried.
