All You Need. *Complete*

Trouble In Paradise

Next morning you wake up earlier than Pansy and Daphne. You shower quickly and get ready for the day before leaving the room and making your way down to the common room.

It's completely empty all for one Hermione Granger who (surprise surprise) is sitting on the couch with a book propped open.

"Morning Mione. Sleep well?"

"Morning Evee. Yes I did thanks. I am sharing with Ginny and Luna so it is going to be loads of fun this year. Are you with Pansy and Daphne?"

"I am. What are you reading?"

"Little Women. It's a muggle book about-"

"That is my favorite book!"

"It is?"

"Yeah my mum used to read it to me until I was old enough to read it myself. I have a First Edition up in my room?"

"Are you kidding?"

"No," you laugh as her mouth drops open. "What part are you at?"

"Beth has just been gifted the piano."

"Aw Beth. My poor Beth."

Hermione giggles. "I was actually just about to head down to breakfast if you are free? I wanted to go before the boys woke up."

"Why? Trouble in paradise?" "A little."

"Come on, dine with me and tell me all about it. I can be like Dear Dianna or Debbie or whoever that lady in the gossip columns my mum used to read was." Hermione stands as you link her arm and you head out to breakfast. "So...spill."

"It's just been different since the war ended. I wanted to go straight to find my mum and dad and I wanted to give Ron time to grieve with his family over the loss of Fr-" she stopped and looked at you.

"Loss of Fred. It's ok Hermione. Go on."

"Well I knew they were in Australia but I had no clue where so it took a little longer than I thought to find them. Actually Harry came out to help me as I was really having trouble. Anyway we found them I restored their memories and then we stayed with them for a week telling them everything that happened."

"Ok that sounds normal to me."

"Right. So when we got back we headed straight to the Burrow to see everyone. Only Ron was a little mad that I took off. He felt I should have been there with him and his family. I mean I love them but I wanted to make sure my mum and dad were safe. That everything I sacrificed was worth it. He was also angry I asked Harry for help and not him."

"But like you said he was grieving and spending time with his family. You didn't want to pull him away from that."

"Exactly. See! Why can't Ron see it like that?"

"Hermione I am going to ask you something and I want the first answer that pops into your head ok?"

"Yes?" she didn't sound too sure though.

"Do you love Ron?" Hermione stays silent for a few seconds. "I think sweetheart if the answer doesn't immediately jump out at you then you actually have your answer. And that is nothing to feel bad or guilty about."

"I do love him Evee. I am just not sure I am in love with him. Does that make sense?"

"Of course it does. I love Theo and I love Blaise but I am in love with Draco." "How do you know you love Draco?"

"Em...I am not sure to be honest. I just feel complete when he is around. Like we are two halves of the one soul. He is a part of me. Just being around him makes me happy. I think I see a side of him that not many others see. He has a kind soul. He acts tough and mean to the point where he is cruel but that's just what it is...an act. He is my best friend and I feel safe when I am with him. I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with him. He is everything to me."
