Timeline: AU. No Deathly Hallows. Post War.
Authors Notes: I really wanted Ron to die in Book 7. Ron and Fred. (So, I got 1/2 a wish.)
Five years.
Five years since Hermione set foot in The Burrow.
Five years since she lost Ron.
Five years she stayed away, hoping, praying, wishing the pain would end.
Five years regretting one night spent with George.
A mistake. After the funeral.
Desperate, alone, and aching, they found each other.
There was so much pain; she didn't think she'd be able to breathe with the weight of her own grief.
But now, years and miles have shrunk to nothing but a foot and a reunion long overdue.
"Hi," she said and fidgeted.
"Hi yourself," George smiled and welcomed her home.
