Chapter two: After The Crash

"Harry, Wake up Harry!" a female's voice called out to him but, it was all still dark. He struggled to open his eyes to find that Hermione was crouched beside him, he was now on a couch and his body ached horribly. He focused on the girl in front of him, her eyes were bloodshot with tears trickling down her cheek. It seemed as though she'd been crying for a while.

"Hermione?" He stated weakly, it was a struggle to speak.

"Everyone he's awake!" She called out to whoever else was there with footsteps following her words. Red hair appeared in Harry's view as one of the weasleys' made their way to him.

"About time. Bloody Hell, Harry. You scared us." Ron stated as he made his way over and handed his friend a bottle.

In no time he found himself surrounded by the twins, Tonks, Lupin, Arthur,and his two friends. Where were Hagrid, Mrs. Weasley, Moody, Bill, Fleur, Kingsley and Mundungus? He slide back to sit up and stared out at their faces. His whole body was aching from the crash but, He attempted to stand only to fall back down. Harry drank all of what was in the bottle Ron had given him.

"Easy, Harry. You'll need to wait until the potion we gave you kicks in." Lupin called out from the other side of the room.

"Whe-Where's Hagrid?" Harry questioned through the pain. "Is he okay? Where's the others?" This caused the others to grow looks of sorrow. Remus yet again was the one to speak.

"Hagrid will be fine but, Mad-eye didn't make it. He was killed by one of the death eaters. Mundungus fled from the scene as soon as it occured with his own arm injured. Bill and Fleur upstairs with Molly. There was some trouble when we arrived, the wards were put into effect until after some of his followers were dealt with. Bill was attacked by a werewolf and we don't know how bad the wounds are. I don't suspect he'll become a werewolf but, we can't ever be sure." The man explained in a hurry, everyone around him grimaced.

"Fred and I were almost as unlucky as Mad-Eye ourselves." Arthur added. "Also, I noticed your little dealing with you-know-who what happened exactly?"

Harry stared out at them, he was glad that there had been a minimum in casualties with the greatest just being Moody's death. He thanked them for the risk that they had taken in going through it all, just to get him there. They let him lay back down and rest. It didn't take him long to go back to sleep due to the potion taking effect.

The Next Day

Harry awoke feeling almost greater than he ever had. Whatever potion he had taken did it's work. He found that Hermione was a sleep in a chair next to the couch that he'd slept on. There wasn't a sign of anyone else, He sat up on the couch and reached out to tap Hermione on the shoulder. She gently shook as she awoke, her eyes focused on him.

" Good Morning." He spoke to her with a smile. " Did you stay here all night?"

"Yes, I wanted to make sure you were sleeping fine. I wasn't aware I'd fallen asleep myself." She replied, brushing the hair from her eyes. " Before you say that I should have, I wanted to."

Harry only smiled and gave her a quick hug. Hermione twitched slightly in his arms and quickly left the room muttering something inaudible. He only dismissed it as a sudden urge to do something and paid no mind.

Hermione had rushed outside, She had been debating things all summer and that hug from Harry caused the thoughts to return. Harry was obviously unaware of what she was going through. She'd been trying to understand her feelings about him and then also, the ones for Ron. There had been the same constant silent conversation with herself since they'd left Hogwarts months ago.

She was just worried mostly about what become of the trio's friendship if she went on way or the other. There was more of struggle for her to see a possibility of her and Ron. She had started for focus more on the chance of her and Harry. How would she find out? Was there even a hint of such feelings for her from Harry? He hadn't shown any but, He'd definitely noticed her during the yule ball years previous. She just needed to know.

Harry stood up from the couch and went to find everyone else. He didn't find anyone in the house but, they were all gathered outside near the garden. Bill and Fleur were talking with his parents while, Ron, the twins and Ginny were standing near by listening. There was no sign of Lupin, Tonks or Hagrid. He hurried his way over to them, stopping next to Ron.

"We'll do that's need for you to have a nice wedding here." Mrs. Weasley told the two as Harry approached.

"They're getting married?" Harry asked Ron who turned to him.

"Oh yeah, We didn't have time to talk about it. Lupin and Tonks are already married and didn't really have anyone there, they wanted it to be very secret. Hermione awake? I noticed she was asleep in a chair by you." Ron replied.

"Yeah, She left the room in a hurry after I hugged her. I don't know where she went. She'll probably be over here soon." He responded turning around to look for her.

They continued to listen to the conversation while blocking out another one involving the twins and Ginny about the Jokeshop the twin's had opened up. Harry learned from the conversation between the older Weasleys, their son and Fleur that Mrs. Weasley wasn't that happy about Bill's interested in the girl. There was something about wanting the wedding to be France where she was from, it was apparently a tradition in wizard culture for it to take place at the bride's birthplace. Mrs. Weasley saw no reason in it being done so far away when it was able to be preformed at the burrow.

Hermione eventually joined and she apparently hadn't know about the wedding either. She always wouldn't look Harry in the eye as if she was trying to hide something, He took note on this. It became a plan that the wedding would take place the day after Harry's birthday and everyone in the order was invited along with members from both the bride and groom's families. Harry had no idea of what to anticipate as he'd never witness an actual wedding. It was only in a few days anyway. Everything would be prepared by the Weasleys with the help of Harry and Hermione (both being forced by Mrs. Weasley).
