Chapter 2
The next day Hermione went back to the Burrow with Ron. Mrs. Weasley told her she could stay with them until she found her parents and tried to reverse their memory charm. She sat in Ginny's room alone in the last of her tattered clothes thinking about what had happened yesterday. Harry died and then he came back. Harry had died. She began to tear up when there was a knock on the door. "Mione it's me." Came Ron's voice from the other side of the closed door. "Come in." she said quietly. Ron opened the door and looked at her. "Harry didn't want to spend the night here, he's sleeping at the castle again." Hermione didn't respond. Ron crossed the room and sat on the bed next to her. "Hermione" he whispered as he put his arm around her. "it's ok, it's over now." Hermione looked at him and burst into tears. He hugged her tightly as she sobbed into his shirt. He began to cry too. "I know, I know Hermione. I understand, and I know I'm never going to be the same." " Neither will I, i can still feel Bellatrix's knife cutting into my throat. The same knife that killed Dobby, he was just trying to save us...he was innocent so innocent..." before she could finish Ron kissed her. She was shocked but responded by kissed him back. Just as The kiss became more passionate There was a knock on the door that made them both jump apart.
Mrs. Weasley entered the room and looked at Ron and then Hermione and Smiled knowingly. Ron's ears turned red and Hermione blushed. "I came in to tell you Ginny decided Harry needed her tonight, and went back to Hogwarts, so Hermione you can sleep on the extra mattress in Ron's room if you don't want to stay in here all by your self." with that she left. Hermione looked at Ron and said "I really don't want to be down here, alone." Ron gulped "yea... I, uh guess if Mum said it's alright you can sleep upstairs with me... Well not with me... You know what I mean." hermione laughed. " I'll just get a shower and get changed. I don't have any clean clothes left though." "I could lend you pajamas." Ron blushed. "okay, thank you Ronald." they headed upstairs.
Ron gave Hermione a pair of old pajama pants that she could tie to fit her and his chudley cannons tee shirt. "thanks." she smiled nervously and headed for the bathroom. When she came back, Ron was gone, she assumed getting a shower somewhere else. She sat on the mattress on the floor that was usually occupied by Harry and looked around the room. Ron entered and looked at her wearing his tee shirt. It really did look better on her, he thought. "You can can sleep in my bed and I'll sleep on the mattress if you'd like." he said. "no it's, ok." she replied. "really I insist, I want you to be comfortable." "Well all right." she crawled onto his bed and tucked herself in. Ron laid down on the mattress. And turned off the light. "night Mione." he said. "night Ron." she smiled. Moments later the room filled with his snores. Hermione smiled and snuggled under the blankets. She liked the way the pillow smelled, it smelled like his hair, like Ron. She drifted off into to a deep sleep as she thought of him.
All of the sudden she was back in the tent in the woods. Ron was leaving her. "why is he leaving me?" she thought. "I love him, I've always loved him... Can't he see that he's my whole world? How can I go on? How can I go on not knowing where he is or what's happened to him?" she awoke with a start. Her eyes were wet. "Just a nightmare." she thought. But she couldnt help sobbing. "Ron has to know I love him right?" she thought. Ron woke up from the noise of her sobs. "Hermione?" he said in a sleepy voice. "I-I'm a-alright." she was crying a lot now. Ron got up off the mattress and walked over to his bed where she sat crying. "what's wrong? Another nightmare?" he held her hand. "Ron when you left us..." "oh Hermione I'm sorry. Is that what this is about?" "Ron when you left us I was hurt. I was so hurt. I care about you so much and not knowing what was happening to you...." she cried louder. "shhh, it's ok. Hermione I won't ever leave you again, it hurt me too. I couldn't find you, I didn't know if the worst had happened.... It was the worst decision of my life to leave you that night and i never will leave you again." Ron kissed her on the forehead. "promise?" she asked. "I promise." he said. "can you sleep up here with me?" she sniffled. "of course I can." Ron climbed into bed next to her and put his arm around her. She snuggled on his chest and sighed. "goodnight again." "Goodnight Hermione, remember I'll never leave you. I'm here." they both fell asleep. It's funny because yet again they didn't have anymore nightmares that night.
