PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
Normal POV:
It had been about a week since Hermione had first gotten up, and it had been quiet around. Both of them had realized that Ron really wasn't coming back and it was hard on the pair of them. It was an unspoken realization, but still Hermione was still cut up. She sat in corners and cried silently, her knees in her hands for the whole day, and she would cry herself to sleep. Harry knew it was bad to keep feeling bottled up, so he didn't try to comfort her. Until that day. He had never seen her so upset. She hadn't eaten in five days, and he'd never seen her looking so pale. He had even tried to force food into her unwilling mouth once, but even that didn't work. She refused. He had kept all her portions of the food and saved it for when she finally agreed to eat, but he highly suspected i she didn't eat soon, she would starve.
Harry was sitting outside taking watch. He heard music playing. He had heard this song when he was small, and he glided inside the tent without a thought. Next thing he knew, he was dancing extremely awkwardly in front of Hermione. For the first time in a very long time, she began to smile. Neither of them were exactly professional dancers (least of all Harry) but they were lifted each other's spirits and that was all that mattered to them. She exploded in giggles, something Harry had never seen her do, but he found it was contagious, and soon they were both smiling and laughing like there were no horcruxes, like there was no Voldemort, like there was no Ron.
The song began to draw to a close and they began to slow dance in each other's arms. The final not rang from the radio and static filled the atmosphere again. They broke apart physically, but the dance had brought them closer. That night, Hermione ate. Everything was alright again. There was a peaceful silence until Hermione said something very strange.
"I want to go see Xenophilius Lovegood,"
Yay! That's my favorite chapter so far! What'd'you think? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
