"Hermione. Please take it off. Give me or Harry a turn. You've been wearing it all day!"
"NO RON! LISTEN TO ME," screamed Hermione. "I am not in love with Harry! So stop saying that we are abandoning you! We are not, we just have good ideas!"
Looking back, Ron thought that it was probably not a good idea to bring up this topic while she was wearing the locket.
"Hermione, take…it..off,"
"Fine, you want it? HERE!" Hermione threw the locket at Ron and picked up her things.
"What are you doing Hermione?"
"Leaving. I try to help and all you think is that I am in love with Harry. Grow up Ronald!"
Hermione left the tent and she stomped off. Before Ron went to chase after her, he said to Harry,
"She's mental that one."
He ran out of the tent screaming, "Hermione come back…" harry heard Ron scream this again and again, until he reached the boundary, and stopped. After 10 minutes, Harry went outside to see Ron playing with a stick on the ground. He walked up quietly, and saw he had drawn into the ground. H.G., and he had put a heart around it.
"Ron, are you okay?" Harry asked cautiously.
"No mate, I'm not okay. Hermione was so important to this task, and even more important to me. I can't stand not being around her Harry. She means everything to me." Ron said.
They sat in silence for a while, until Ron went back to the tent.
"I'll just take first watch then…no problem," said Harry.
Ron's dreams were flooded with Hermione. When he woke up, he woke up drenched in sweat and screaming. It has been so real. Hermione getting the dementor's kiss. Knowing he would not be able to sleep again, he went out and told Harry he would take over watch. As he sat there, every time he saw a little movement, from the wind, a small animal, or a tree, he prayed that it was Hermione. Although it wasn't.
They woke up the next morning, and to get Hermione off Ron's mind, Harry decided to tell Ron they were going searching for more horcruxes. They went and searched the whole day, but whatever he saw reminded him of Hermione. He saw a dress in the window; "Harry, remember how Hermione wore a dress like that at Bill and Fleur's wedding. They saw a house-elf; "Harry, remember back at Hogwarts when Hermione had S.P.E.W.?" They saw the book Hogwarts: A History; "Harry, remember how Hermione always tried to get us to read that?" After a while, Harry couldn't take it anymore, and they were getting nothing accomplished, so Harry decided that they had done enough Horcrux hunting for the day, and apparated back to the tent. When they went inside the tent, Ron saw something and walked over to it. It was Hermione's lip-gloss that she had left. Ron picked it up gently, and walked over to his bed. He layed there, staring at that lip gloss container, for almost an hour, until he put it under his pillow.
"I'll take first watch," said Ron, walking outside the tent and sat down.
Harry couldn't help but feel bad for Ron. He had been in love with her since what…third, fourth year? And Hermione had just ditched him because Ron questioned her. He walked outside and sat with Ron.
"You know that I don't love her, right?" harry said cautiously.
"I know mate," Ron said, looking into the distance. It's just, I got jealous. I mean, you guys have been spending so much time together, and…"
"Stop Ron, you are starting to sound like one of those muggle romance novels we always made fun of. Go inside and sleep, I'll watch"
Reluctantly, Ron went inside the tent, and harry heard him lay down on his bad. And he was sure that Ron would be sitting there, looking at the tube of lip gloss until Harry came into the tent.
