Chapter one:

After helping everyone move the bodies to the great hall Hermione decided to get some rest somewhere she'd feel at home. She didn't have a home now that parents didn't know who she was. So she walked up towards the Gryffindor common room. As she walked she saw more and more rooms that were destroyed from the battle that had ended only hours before. Harry had headed up to bed an hour ago and she was pretty sure he went to the common room too. Ron had stayed downstairs with his family, but he said he'd come upstairs later. When she got to the common room she headed for the bathrooms to get a much needed and deserved shower. She changed into the cleanest thing she had in her small beaded bag and then sat in the common room waiting for Ron. When he finally came upstairs he found her asleep in her favorite arm chair. He smiled, she looked so peaceful. He went to shower and came back to find her tossing and turning and yelling in her sleep. "No, please! We found it! We didn't steal it!" he ran over to her and shook her wake. She looked at him and sobbed. "oh Ron I had the worst nightmare." he knelt down on the floor next to the chair and kissed her hand. "everythings going to be alright now. Hermione I'm here, I will always be here. It's over, it's all over. Now go back to sleep. You need your rest." "Ron.... I don't want to sleep alone. I want to sleep upstairs... With you." Ron gulped. sharing a bed with Hermione, he thought. "I'm just scared I'll wake up and you'll be gone." she began to sob again. She grabbed Ron and hugged him."alright, come on, upstairs we go." he lead her by the hand up the boys dormitory stairs. He was very tired so he went into the first room at the top of the stairs, Luckily it was empty. Hermione crawled into the nearest bed and Ron crawled in next to her. "goodnight Ron." She said as she laid her head on his chest. "Night Mione." he responded and drifted into a deep sleep.

Fred's dead body flashed before his eyes. The look on Geroge's face.... It was unbearable. All of the sudden he was back in the tent yelling at Harry and leaving. Hermione was calling after him, screaming, begging for him to come back, then her voice turned weird. Locket Hermione stood before him. "who would choose you over The boy who lived. You are nothing, nothing, nothing compared to him." Then he was back in the cellar at Malfoy Manor. Hermione's screams echoed from above. He felt so helpless. Hermione laid in front of him neck bleeding, close to death. Then he awoke with a start, tears streamed down his face. "Ron?" Hermione's voice sounded like she was with him. Then he remembered he was sharing a bed with her. "What is it? You had a nightmare, you were screaming." "Hermione, when Bellatrix was hurting you, I felt so helpless. I felt like I had failed I had left you to die...." "Ron there was nothing you could..." "No, let me finish. I thought I was going to loose you. And thank God I didn't, because I don't know where I'd be without you. I need you. I lost Fred tonight and I need you." he sobbed. Hermione hugged him and cried too. "I can't imagine the pain you are feeling, the pain your family is feeling. But I will be here when you need me, no matter what. We can fix each other Ron, we have to fix each other." She kissed him, And then wiped his tears. they laid down to go back to sleep both knowing that they were there for each other. Neither of them had nightmares again that night.
