The Rekindling of Love
Chapter 2
"Hermione...Herm...wake up, Hermione..." A smooth, calm voice soothed Hermione's tender ears. She half expected it to be her father, but somewhere in her heart, she knew it couldn't be. She struggled to open her eyes. To her surprise, she saw Harry Potter, bending over her, smiling. "Hey, Herm...How are you doing, girl?"
"Considering...I'm doing ok." She smiled weakly.
"What do you say we get you out of here and healed completely...I happen to know a really good nurse who's fixed me up a bout 200 dozen times..."
"Hehehe...Poppy? Isn't she tired of seeing you? Anyway, I pledged to be a muggle, remember? It was going to be permanent...I don't know...maybe this is where I was intended to be, you know? Let me think about-Harry! Stop-put me-cut it out! Ouch, it hurts to laugh!" Harry levitated her and in about 2 seconds they were gone and in Poppy Pomfrey's home.
"Oh, dear God! Harry Potter, what have you done now-oh, what happened to Hermione?"
"She was shot by a muggle gun...it a kind of metal wand used to kill people. Can you fix her?" Harry asked.
"I'll see...I haven't worked with theses things before..." she briskly looked over her levitating patient. "Oh, yeah. No problem. Just set her on the bed. That's the ticket...easy does it now...hold on Hermione. You'll be out of complete pain in about 2 minutes." She raised her wand and performed a small spell for sleep. Then, she started the healing spell. Just like she said, 2 minutes later, Hermione was completely normal and pain free in sleep. "Not to worry, Harry. She'll be just fine."
"Thanks Poppy. I'll take her home now...All the Muggles will be dying to know where she's been..." with that, he was gone. They were back in the hospital. Thankfully nobody was around, and he set the dozing Hermione in the bed. He took his invisibility cloak out of his pocket and threw it on. Then, he waited for the nurses and doctors. After a while, they finally came to ponder over how she disappeared. The doctor checked on her, and looked up in amazement.
"It's a miracle!" he exclaimed. "It's like nothing happened!" Hermione woke up. "Young woman, how did this happen?"
"Prayer?"
Harry chuckled silently to himself.
**********************************
"Thanks for everything Harry. I guess this means I'm torn apart again...between magic and muggles...well, mostly, magic and Courtney...I can't believe she still doesn't know...do you think she could handle it?"
"You could try it...maybe...I would, but, it's not the person you tell the secret to, it's the person they tell it to you can't trust."
"Thanks, Harry Potter. I'll think about that quote, you freak."
"Well, I just don't want you to lose a friend over this..." he said.
"It looks like either way..." she looked down.
"I know, Herm. I know. I've got to go, but, keep in touch, somehow okay. Let me know your decision. See, I know this creepy guy who sells wands, and he'd be willing to sell you another..."
"Thanks, Harry!" she hugged him and he was gone.
*****************************
"Hey, Courtney, it's Herm. Call me...we need to talk, k? Love ya, bye." Hermione slowly put the phone down.
About an hour later, Courtney was over at Hermione's house.
"What did you want to talk about, Herm?"
"Well, I need to tell you something...something important...Court, I'm a witch."
"A what? Yeah, uh huh...and I'm a dog. What game is this?"
"No, no, Courtney, I'm dead serious."
"Well, then, don't just sit there, prove it!"
"I can't...I don't have my wand...I snapped it."
"What'dja do that for, stupid?"
"I did it because I left the magical world for good, or, so I thought."
"Okay...this is all just strange."
"K, Courtney...Remember when I said I was in China with my husband?"
"Yes..."
"Well, remember how I told you he was an undercover guy for something, and I couldn't tell you what it was for? And, I couldn't give you my address? Well, we were actually here in London, the whole time."
"Where? How could I not see you around?"
"I was in the wizarding world...none of your letters would've reached me. And, I didn't elope like I said...I got married...but you couldn't come..."
"So, was your husband's real name Sean?"
"No...no. It was Ron. Ronald Weasley."
"So, why'd you split...for reals?"
"I-I don't know, Court...I still don't know. That's why I left the magical world. But, I want to return now."
"So, I won't see you ever again?"
"No...not exactly...I want to take you with me."
"But, wouldn't I be, like, invisible, or the other way around?"
"No...you'd just have to stick by me for a while...until people got to know who you are, you know, so the ministry of magic won't perform a memory spell on you."
"Oh, ok then!"
"So, what do you think? You would live with me...and I would pay for everything...I have quite a lot of money stocked up in Gringotts. I saved it up."
"What's Gringotts?" Courtney asked.
"Oh, sorry. It's the bank in my world. So, what do you say?" Hermione had a look of total hope on her face.
"Well...ok. But, you have to show me more magic...and, are there any hot guys there?"
"I-I-I only found one...and he didn't love me, so..."
"Cut yourself some slack. It couldn't have been all you. I mean, even if I didn't know him, I'll bet he was a jerk," Courtney said defensively.
"No...no...Ron wasn't like that...And it's funny...after the break up, he never talked to Harry either...It's like he hated us all of a sudden..." a single tear rolled down Hermione's face.
"Have you a picture?"
"Huh? Oh, yes...of course." Hermione pulled her wallet out of her purse. She pulled out the picture of the two of them in a wizard photo booth. Instead of three pictures, it was one picture constantly changing.
"Ok...now I believe you...whoa...Herm...you have really good taste! He's really good looking!"
"I know...well...do you want to come with me to Diagon Alley, right now?"
"Let's go!" Hermione ran to her closet and pulled out two emerald robes. "Here...you have to wear this to fit in, k?"
"I've seen someone in these exact robes before..."
"Yeah...probably some idiot who forgot to go incognito in the muggle world...oh, sorry...see, you're called a Muggle in my world...you'll get used it."
"No, listen...we bumped into each other...he looked a lot like Ronald-"
"You call him Ronald, you die! His name is Ron!" Hermione grabbed a pillow and hit her friend over the head.
"Hey!" she threw a pillow back.
"Ok...we've gotta stop..." They had forgotten about Ron's bump into Courtney.
An hour later...
"Oh my gosh!" How'd we go through that wall? How'd we do that???" Courtney asked, wide-eyed.
"Shut-up!" Hermione giggled. She first went to the wand shop. The first wand she tried sent sparks, and Mr. Ollivander was really quite surprised.
"Well, well...One down, (quickly I might add) one to go. Step over here, young lady," he said.
"Uh---uh...she all ready has one! Gotta go!" Hermione said quickly.
A/N: Well I've gotta go too...hope you liked it. Sorry it ended so quickly. I have to get off the computer NOW according to mother dearest! (sense sarcasm???)
