Part three to the harry potter AU

A/n: this is horrible asf :D

"P-personal loss?" Ruel mumbles, his voice shivering slightly. Professor Trelawney turns around to look at him, and Ruel shifts his gaze from y/n's to that of Trelawney's.

"Boy you need to make sure your family is okay," she begins, fear in her own voice, "write a letter to them." Ruel nods, looking at the table he's sitting on. Y/n delicately places her hand on his shoulder, pressing it slightly.

"It will be okay," she whispers, making Ruel nod slowly. Once the class is over, all of the students file out of the room. Ruel, with y/n and Zara, runs to the Ravenclaw dormitories. He runs up the stairs, jumping two at a time, with y/n and Zara right at his heels. Just as he enters the dormitories, he rushes to a chair and sits down, opening a new roll of parchment and a bottle of ink. He pulls his quill out and dips it in the ink, before furiously writing on the paper. Y/n and Zara stand over his shoulders, reading as he writes, hoping for the best for him.

Ruel finishes writing the letter and quickly puts it in an envelope and writes the address on the top. He opens the cage of his Eerin and rushes to the nearby window of the Common Room. Eerin clutches the envelope in its claws and flies out of the window.

"Bring back good news," Ruel mumbles, watching Eerin fly away.

Two days later:

Two days have passed, yet no reply has reached Ruel. It is allowing Ruel's anxiety to reach the maximum, not letting him focus on school or anything else.

Currently, it is the time for breakfast. Zara and y/n decide to sit next to Ruel on his table, but he barely talks to them, just the way it has been from the last few days. His head remains focused on his plate, but he doesn't eat much; his fork fiddles with the food on his plate.

Y/n and Zara exchange fearful glances before turning back to look at him. Y/n sucks in a deep breathe before reaching out her hand for Ruel.

"Ruel, please eat something," she pleads. Ruel removes his hand from hers, as if her hand stings. He doesn't reply and continues to fiddle with his food. Y/n pulls her hand back and places it on her forehead, pressing it slightly to relieve herself from the small pain which has started to spread in her forehead.

The noise of owls flying in the Great Hall echoes through the hall, as everyone looks up to see owls dropping packages and letters in front of the respective students. Much to his suprise, Eerin comes and drops a letter in front of Ruel. Ruel gasps and quickly picks it up. He tears open the envelope and begins to read, his eyes gliding smoothly against the paper. As he reads more and more, his expression turns into a shocked and fearful one.

"M- my dad," he mumbles. The letter from his delicate fingers drops on the table, as y/n picks it up and reads for herself.

Your dad had been out for some work being the current Minister of Magic. He never returned.

The one line in the letter shines like no other, as y/n and Zara gasp reading this. Ralph Van Dijk has been the Minister of Magic since 10 years, and has been one of the best ministers the Ministry ever had. But as per the letter, he went for work and never returned.

"Ruel-" Y/n begins, but before she can speak anything else, Ruel gets up from his place and runs out of the Great Hall. Y/n gets up to follow him, but Zara places a hand on hers.

"Give him some time alone," she mumbles. Y/n nods slowly, her eyebrows stitched together as she sinks back into her place.

That evening:

Y/n rushes inside the dormitories and sees Ruel sitting in an armchair next to the fire. She runs up to him and places her hand on his shoulder.

"Ruel," she softly speaks, but her sentence is left unfinished. Her head goes down to see Ruel's trunk packed. She flickers her eyes between the trunk and Ruel.

"I'm going y/n," Ruel mumbles, getting up from the armchair, "and I don't know when I'll come back. I'll miss you so much, but I need to go."

Y/n's eyesight blurs slightly with a few tears. She nods at him and flings her arms around Ruel's neck. Ruel lightly rubs her back and buries his face in her neck. After a prolonged hug, he pulls apart from her. His face bends forward to leave a kiss on her cheek.

"Hope to see you soon," he whispers, placing another kiss, but this time on her lips. Ruel pulls back yet again, and as if he never came to Hogwarts, he was gone.
