You guys asked for it; and what kind of person would one be if they declined the requests of the land?
Ron & Hermione
"Ron! Ron!" Hermione called over the swarm of people.
"Hermione? Where are you?" Ron also called.
"Over here.. Periculam!" Hermione called, sending a small red spark into the air for Ron to find her.
"Hermione, thank merlin! I was getting bloody worried!" Ron hugged her.
"Where's Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Over there...he's moving..." Ron answered following the messy jet black haired dot in the crowd.
"Wait, is that Ginny?" Hermione choked.
"Oh..my..God...yes, 'Mione, that is" Ron replied, rooted to the spot.
"Where's Ginny?" Harry frantically yelled at them.
"She was taken to the Hospital wing, mate... they think she's injured, bad" Ron mumbled, head jung low, looking at his shoes.
Harry dashed away from the two, Hermione's eyes followed. She sniffed slightly, tears following.
" 'Mione?" Ron hugged her, not letting go.
"It's over, finally its over, Harry can be normal for once" Hermione sniffed, wipping her eyes with the edge of her sleeve.
"Come on" Ron led her away, keeping an arm around her and notting letting go.
Hermione laid her head on his shoulder as he pulled her towards the portrait they knew all too well.
The fat lady swung forward without a password, Ron nodded to her, she smiled back at him.
"Just a little further" Ron whispered in her ear, Hermione was slowly falling asleep on him. Ron stopped, picking her up under the arms and the knees, her head stilling rested on his shoulder. Ron walked up the stairs, careful not to bump Hermione into a wall.
"Here we go, 'Mione" Ron whispered in her ear, gently laying her to rest on his Dorm bed.
"Mhmm, Ron?" Hermione whispered, waking up.
"Shhshhshh, its okay, I'm going to take a shower...bloody hell, I don't have any clean clothes" Ron mumbled.
"Wait" Hermione reached down into her sock, pulling out the beaded bag, "Accio Ron's clothes."
A shirt, jeans, and sock flew out of the bag landing in Ron's open arms.
"Where are my knickers?" Ron asked, looking in the bag, hoping that at any moment they would pop up.
"I'm afraid there aren't any" Hermione frowned, "sorry."
"Its okay" Ron kissed her on the cheek, "I'll just toss you the pair I'm wearing and you can fix them"
"Okay" Hermione yawned.
Ron walked to the dormitory bathrooms, letting his clothes fall off of his tired body. He turned the shower on, the bathroom filling with steam. Ron took the pair of knickers and stuck his arm out the door dropping them on the floor.
"Hey, Hermione" he called to let her know that the knickers were on the floor.
"Coming" Hermione replied.
Ron closed the bathroom door and quickly jumped into the shower.
Meanwhile, Hermione looked at the pair of knickers, immediately she lifted her wand and muttered "scourgify". She picked them up, eyeing the few holes it had.
"Reparo" she muttered, watching the holes stitch themselves back together quickly.
She knocked on the door, "Ron, I've got your knickers"
"Uhh, put them with the clean clothes on the linen chest" Ron's muffled voice came over the sound of running water.
Hermione entered the bathroom timidly, she placed the knickers with the pile of clothes Ron had indicated. She noticed the other pile of clothes, the dusty, grime covered, blood spoted, battle worn clothing. Hermione picked them up and took them out, sitting on a close bed.
She performed the same spells she had with the knickers, soon she had folded them, and placed them on the bedside table next to Ron's bed.
" 'Mione, you can shower now if you want" Ron spoke, coming out of the bathroom and looking at her, a small twinkle in his eye. Hermione nodded, taking her clothes and going into the bathroom.
Ron sat on the edge of his bed and sighed, he looked at the small gash he had on his hand, his left wrist felt fractured, and he had numerous cuts and bruises all along his body. He laid back on his bed, closing his eyes.
A little while later, he awoke with a pressure on his chest, Hermione's head and hand lain there. Ron smelled Hermione's perfume, it was a light, clean smell.
"Hermione?" Ron whispered quietly.
"Hmm?" Hermione inhaled.
"Do you want to go see Ginny?"
"I guess so, I'm actually kind of hungry"
"Me too, maybe Kreacher will come if I call him?"
"I dunno, try it though" Hermione replied, sitting.
"Kreacher?" Ron called, a slight ring hanging in the Dormitory.
"Yes mister Weasley?" Kreacher poped.
"Could you bring Hermione and me a sandwich, maybe some pumpkin juice?" Ron asked the little bent over elf.
"Of course mister Weasley" Kreacher lowly bowed.
"Is Harry still with Ginny?" Ron whispered.
"I think so, his bed is still empty" Hermione whispered, lying her head back on his shoulder. Kreacher came back with a tray with two ham and cheese sandwhiches and two goblets of pumpkin juice.
Ron ate away at his sandwhich when Hermione gasped, "Ron, your wrist, its black, you need Madam Pomfrey to look at that" sh said pointedly.
"Yeah, but let a man eat Hermione" Ron mumbled, being his usual self.
"Of course, I've got to let the hungry Ronald Weasley eat" Hermione chuckled.
"Hey, I do not want any type of mushroom, ever again... those mushrooms were like eating tar" Ron said between chews of bread.
Hermione smiled as she syphoned down her goblet.
"I wove eww" Ron swallowed.
"I love you too, Ron" Hermione giggled.
"Hey, mate, hows my sister?" Ron placed a hand on Harry's shoulder.
"She hasn't awaken much, I wish I could tell you more though... She had a lot of broken bones and what not.." Harry sighed, looking at Ron. Harry had dark circles under his eyes, he was pale from lack of sleep, the only thing that kept him from falling asleep was the prospect that Ginny could wake.
"Mate, you need some sleep" Ron sadly smiled.
"Harry, he's right, you do" Hermione agreed.
"I can't, she might need me" Harry slurred from sleepiness.
"Madam Pomfrey?" Ron asked, looking at the frazzled witch.
"Yes dear?" she rushed.
"My wrist is black and bruised, it hurts really bad too, could you fix it?" Ron asked, slightly concerned.
"Of course dear, sit down right here" Madam Pomfrey indicated to the stool, "Well, it is fractured, I can heal it, but you'll have to wear a brace for a couple of days, now hold on a minute, this is going to be a little painful." She muttered a spell, then Ron's wrist wasn't slightly crooked.
"Now, here's a brace, you're going to wear this for about a week or two" she said as she wrapped the wrist up.
"M'kay" Ron nodded, "Thank you."
"Your welcome" Madam Pomfrey smiled.
"Come on Ron, there's not much we can do" Hermione led Ron away from the hospital wing, out the onto the grounds of Hogwarts, through the winged boar gates, and then she turned them on the spot.
Hermione landed in front of the Burrow, holding Ron's hand and pulling him towards a tree, sitting in the shade.
"Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed, getting up from where she was sitting with Ron underneath the large oak tree.
"Hey, 'Mione" Ginny hugged gently.
"How are you?" Hermione questioned.
"I'm still a little sore, but okay, still healing though" Ginny smiled as Harry held her waist.
"Thats good to know; I'm happy you're back though" Hermione nodded.
"Come on, Gin, lets get inside, you remember what Madam Pomfrey said" Harry led Ginny away, their voices fading.
"It's great she's back" Hermione sighed, hugging Ron's hands that were around her waist.
"Yeah, it is" Ron rested his chin on her shoulder.
Hermione turned her head to look up at Ron's face, slowly she leaned in kissing him lightly.
