Summary: the story of the silver/blue toy otter that was in Hermione's beaded bag.
It had almost been two weeks since Ron had left and Hermione was still almost always verge of tears. When they talked to each other it was always very short and either about horcruxs' or just questions in attempt to make conversation like: how are you? Or do you want me to take your watch?
Also there 'conversations' always ended in the same awkward silence in which they began. It was Hermione's watch and Harry had entered to switch. Hermione, however, was asleep. Hermione being asleep was unusual these days because she cried, a lot. Harry contemplated leaving her to sleep but decided against it because he knew Hermione would be annoyed. He gently shock her awake. Hermione immediately pounced for her wand but lowered it seeing Harry.
"sorry" she apologised.
"it's 'kay" Harry said "it's good to know your aware." Hermione smiled slightly. She slowly lifted herself of the bed. Something silvery caught Harry's eye.
"what's that?" Harry asked
"nothing" Hermione said hurriedly making a lunge for it. Harry beat her however.
"what's this?" Harry asked. It was a shiny silver/ blue cuddly otter. Hermione shuffled from foot to foot nervously.
"it was a gift" Hermione told him quietly.
"From your parents?" Harry asked observing it more closely.
"no" Hermione said still looking at her feet.
"who from then?" Harry asked now looking at her. Hermione didn't reply.
"Hermione?" Harry looked seriously.
"itwasfromRon" Hermione said hurriedly.
"what?" Harry looked confused "I didn't hear a word of that"
"it was from Ron" Hermione said more clearly this time. Harry was in shock so Hermione took this opportunity to snatch it from his hands.
"when did he give you that?"
"in our sixth year" Hermione told him fiddling with the plush otter in her hands.
"oh" was all Harry said.
"for valentines" Hermione added afterwards.
"really?" Harry seemed shocked.
"yeah" Hermione said "why?"
"its, its just he, he didn't get Lavender anything" a smirk crept across Harry's face and Hermione's cheeks turned to a light shade of pink. Neither spoke for a minute or to before Hermione broke the silence.
"I'll go take my watch then."
"okay" Harry replied. "oh and by the way" Hermione turned around.
"Ron loves you to." Harry then exited to the bathroom. Hermione looked shocked before a smile appeared on her face, she then left to do her watch. She was so happy that she could have cried or jumped up and down. But instead she sat down running Harry's word over and over in her head.
