Enjoy!

Chapter One: Relief

"I 'ave great neews! 'Ermione 'ill be alright!" Fleur told a weary looking group. A very relieved sigh flew through the room upon the news. The terrible events last night at Malfoy Manor had paid a great toll on everyone; Hermione however had been hurt far worse than the others.

As she was being tortured, her horrible screams Harry and Ron heard sent physical pain to Ron, especially since he couldn't save her sooner. So when Fleur announced that Hermione was going to be alright, Ron felt as though he could pass out with relief.

He had stood by Hermione's side all night, never looking away from her. She looked so vulnerable, so broken. Fleur had been quite unsure whether or not she would make it through the night. The entire time Ron had sat next to Hermione he had been holding her hand and whispering "Every thing will be alright", although he felt uncertain whether he was right. So many thoughts ran through his head while she slept on…

"I'm so horrible, this is all my fault. If only I had saved her sooner!. If only I had forced them to take me instead, to torture me! I would give anything, ANYTHING if I could have just helped her. It's all, completely my fault. Now Dobby's dead, and Hermione…my 'Mione is...

" I never got to tell her how much I love her. I could never get over my stupid pride, or cowardness. If I had, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess…"

Ron had only left Hermione's side when Fleur kicked him out this morning so she could check her condition and he could eat breakfast. Now that Ron didn't feel so heartbroken, he could eat a good meal.

"Ron, you don't have to stuff your face! You heard Fleur, she's going to be just fine" Harry smirked at Ron.

"I know, but…I can't wait for her to wake up so that…so I can…" Ron trailed off.

"So that you can tell her you love her and finally get together?" asked an eerily honest Luna. She hadn't been making fun of him, or being sarcastic, but Ron thought that would have been better instead of her uncanny habit of telling the outmost truth.

The occupants at the table snickered, and Ron blushed furiously. Finally Bill said "You know, Ron, Luna's right. You saw how close Hermione came to…well, dying." Ron's stomach dropped at the word. "That's how war goes."

"He's right, mate. When she wakes up, you've got to tell her. I mean, it's obvious she likes, well, loves, you too. What've you got to lose? You may not get another chance…" Harry said.

"I s'pose you're right, Harry. I got to tell her! As soon as she wakes up, I swear on Merlin's pants that I'll do it!"

A few moments of silence past as everyone ate their breakfast (Ron had slowed down considerably). After a while, Fleur said "I 'xpect that within 'wo or three days, 'Ermione will wake up. She may, 'owever, be conscious off and on, but probally not too much. She 'ill need 'er bedrest, and probally not be able to walk for a few more…" She looked toward the stairs, stunned, then exclaimed, "Oh, my word, "ERMIONE?????
