Hermione's bad dreams.
I gain consciousness, clutching my pillow and screaming out. He's there, as always, ready to hold me in his safe and sturdy arms if I need it.
"Another bad dream?"
I nod, startled by what images flash right in front of my eyes, re-living the haunting memories I try so very hard to forget. "Same as always, Dumbledore lying on the floor dead, watching the life drain from Snape's eyes, Fred returning mortally wounded, Dobby slowly dying In Harry's arms, Voldermort..." My voice wavers a little making my voice turn to a whisper "and then there's you, leaving me abandoned forever with no-one..."
Ron embraces me in a hug and kisses my forehead, a singular tear escapes the walls of my eyes and runs down my pale cheekbones.
"Now listen to me, I would never abandon you! Never! No matter what! I love you Hermione, with all my heart. I would do anything just to be with you..." He wipes away the tear and traces my facial structure, teasing me. I grab his top playfully and pull him down to kiss him. He pulls away after a while and just smiles that same old smile, the one that got me tripping head over hills for him.
"Now go back to sleep" he whispers in a melodic tune. I giggle and role over, not letting go of his hand. He leans into me and wraps his arms around me, protecting me from all evil.
This is what I love about him, no matter what I could put him through, he'll always be by my side when morning comes. So after about half an hour of snuggling up with him, I finally give in and let sleep flood over me...
