Chapter 24

Ron had been made to wear the tracking device around his ankle for two days. For two days he had slept in his old bed, in his old room at the Burrow because he had been released into the custody of his mother and father.

The only good thing is Harry still treated him as a best friend, even if professionally he had to be stern and strip Ron of his Auror duties and charge him for hurting Hermione.

He had never felt worse when after she had stupefied him, he regained himself and got up to a room full of people and an unconscious Hermione.

For the last four days since Hermione had been hurt, Ron had been having nightmares, reliving what he had done and waking up covered in sweat and hair a mess with heavy erratic breathing.

He also hadn't seen Lavender much at all, for she had heard about what had happened and was angry with him, but for some reason didn't entirely blame Ron, but also put a lot of the blame on Hermione.

He sat in his room on his bed, and looked at the framed moving picture on his bedside table, the couple of times Lavender had visited him he had hidden the photo under the bed so she didn't see.

The picture was of him and Hermione, he was wrapping his arms around her from behind and she was turning her head to look at him as he kissed her cheek and she was laughing.

They were so happy. Until he stuffed up.

He picked up the moving photo and sighed. 'I'm so sorry Mione, I still love you!'

She sat in the couch with a blanket over her frame and her feet curled up underneath her as Draco bought her over another cup of peppermint tea.

She smiled up at him as she took the cup in her hands and bought it close to her chest.

'Draco, please stop fussing!' She pleaded as she pet the seat beside her, giving her best puppy dog look as he gave in and sat down beside her.

She grinned, turning and shuffling around so she could lean into him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders as she rested her head into his neck.

He had been fussing over her for four days after she was released from St Mungo's. Not letting her do anything for herself, even running her warm bubble baths so she wasn't standing for too long.

'Are you sure your comfortable?' Draco asked as Hermione sighed and nodded.

'Yes Draco... I'm fine, I promise!' She said as Draco kissed the top of her head. She knew he was only worrying because of the baby and what the nurse had said.

They were in for a long ride ahead of them as they had clearly been told, and Draco just wanted to make sure he was doing everything possible to make sure Hermione was ok.

'Ginny messaged me earlier while you were in the shower, she asked if it was okay to come over later for a visit, I said it should be okay,' Hermione whispered into Draco's neck as she bought the cup of tea to her lips, taking small sips of the peppermint tea.

'No that's fine, it'll give me a chance to pop out to the shops while she's here so your not alone!' Draco nodded as he rubbed her arm gently with his hand.

'Draco I can be left alone while you go out. I'm not going to do anything to strenuous you know!' Hermione pulled back and looked up at him as he nodded.
