Ron's Grief, Harry's Guilt
By: esmtz
Minutes went by and still no sign of Krum. Harry knew that if he didn't do something soon both Ron and Hermione will die so he decided to quickly take Ron back up then come down for Hermione.
'Hang on Hermione ill be back please be alright' Harry thought worriedly 'if she dies Im afraid to find out what Ron will say'
As he takes Ron back up he sees a dark figure headed his way. It had a shark shaped head. It went to Harry and he realized who it was.
"Krum hurry and get Hermione she's over there" points and Krum takes off and Harry keeps swimming to the surface frantically until a few minutes later he breaks the surface. Ron coughs up water.
"Ron are you alright?" Harry asked worried sick about him as he clung to Ron and got him on dry land.
"Yeah im alright" Ron says as he gets out of the water and looks and sees Cedric, Cho, Fleur and Gabrielle "Where's Hermione?" he asks looking really worried.
Suddenly Krum appears holding Hermione but she wasn't moving and her eyes were still closed. She was limp in Krum's arms as his head returned to normal.
"HERMIONE?!" Ron yelled as Krum brought her towards Ron and Harry and they helped her out of the water.
Harry watched as Ron checked for a pulse but nothing and as he tried to perform CPR on her.
"BREATH HERMIONE JUST BREATHE!" Ron yelled as he continued doing CPR. "DON'T YOU LEAVE ME HERMIONE PLEASE I LOVE YOU"
After a few minutes and layed his head on her chest and cried. Harry didn't know what was worse Hermione dying and feeling guilty about it or that he was jealous that Ron loved only Hermione. Harry got out of the water since he was normal again and Krum got out too. People were wondering what had happened when Dumbledore loudly told everyone to leave as he went to where Ron was with Hermione and he checked her to see if she was dead or not.
"We can't leave her here like this Albus" Professor McGonagall said as she came up and saw Hermione.
"No we can't" Dumbledore says as he gently gets Hermione from Ron who was still clinging to her crying.
Harry looked on at the scene and he was really devastated about Hermione dying and that he know Ron will never love him as he looked at Ron sadly and whispered to himself "Im sorry Ron this is all my fault."
He goes to Ron and helps him up and helps him to get back to the dorm as Ron lays his head on Harry and just cries.
