SORRY, some minor edits were done. Third chapter is about to come out though, look forward to that.

All right! An extended version of chapter 2! Let me know what you think. I've been busy with my procrastination. We're trying to break up, but he's a possessive ass. It's a very delicate process.

Hermione watched Ron behind a glass window. Her wrist was tied down to a bed and legs were bound with a spell to keep her from kicking anybody that would go close to her. He could clearly see that she wasn't sane anymore.

How can she when she had tried to drink ashwinder venom? If Ginny hadn't found her in time, she would've ended up as just a canvas of skin. All of her bones, organs, and muscles would be burned to ash.

She had only gotten a drop of it, and Snape was able to cure her, but the other effects of the venom were not curable.

It left her insane.

Ron placed a shaking hand on the glass, and Hermione followed the hand as if she was mesmerized by it. A dry sob escaped his mouth as he understood how far gone she was.

She would never be the same girl he had danced with at the Yule ball.

You did this to her. The symbol on the door hissed at him angrily. The snakes entwined together to make the badge that all healers wore on their breast. But right now, the snakes had intertwined themselves and were hissing at him.

You killed him. One snakes reared back as if to strike them while the other just stared at him. It regarded him like a prey would to its killer. It didn't move far from the other snake, but it would move closer then the other would. It hasn't said a word since it came to life.

You're disgusting, it should have been you.

"I know." Ron whispered to the snakes slowly. The grief in him was shattering him to a million pieces.

She'll never be the same again. The bold one stopped moving toward Ron, tilting his head and looking at him closely.

"I know." He repeated. Both snakes curled back from him and quickly went back to the symbol.

"Mr. Weasley." Healer Winton called out behind him. Ron turned quickly toward him. Maybe he has good news about Hermione's condition.

"I am going to have to ask you to rest. You do not seem well. Please come with me." He laid a gentle hand on him. He was guiding him slowly away from Hermione. Ron would not have it.

"No! I can't leave her!" His heart was starting to climb up his throat. His hands went up to his head and his nails started to dig into his skull.

"You'll be just next door, Mr. Weasley. There will be a window there where you can see Ms. Granger just fine. Come along now." Healer Winton push him a little harder. Ron's heart began to calm down. That…sounded reasonable. It'll be all right. He will still be able to see Hermione from where he would rest.

He was feeling tired anyway.

What do you think about it? It's sad and everything, but it gets better soon. Maybe after chapter three. I don't know. This chapter is still not done so we'll see.
