Ron's Grief, Harry's Guilt
By: esmtz
Harry was aware that he was warm and as he opened his eyes he saw a white light and Hermione peering down at him scared. Harry looked at her in shock.
"Hermione?!" Harry got up and quickly hugged her real tight "Im sorry im so sorry" Harry started crying.
"Harry what on earth are you doing here? You can't be dead!" Hermione said but she still hugged him back "what do you mean your sorry Harry? Sorry for what?"
Harry choked back a sob.
"I could have helped you and maybe you wouldn't have died."
Hermione was shocked at the idea that Harry was blaming himself over her death. She pulled back from him.
"Harry it's not your fault trust me it isn't look you shouldn't be here Ron's probable frantic with worry"
"But Hermione im the reason he's depressed because I got you killed"
"Harry that's not it at all didn't you see it before he's loved you this whole time he just used me to hide his feelings from you he was scared about what you might think Harry and don't argue this with me I know." Hermione looks at Harry sternly.
Harry laughs a little.
"Yeah I forgot you've always been the one to figure things out before Ron and me" Hermione smiles at that.
"Yeah well just tell Ron that I miss him and you of course Harry also could you tell Krum that it isn't his fault either it just happened and im not angry with him"
"Sure Hermione ill tell them" he hugs her one last time.
Suddenly Harry felt himself dropping down and the next thing he knew was that he was coughing up water and someone was hitting his back hard to help him cough up the rest. He couldn't hear what they were saying to him Harry was still to dizzy and sick to know who it was until his vision cleared.
"….Ron….?"
Ron was tear streaked and he wiped his eyes clean and he smiled and just hugged Harry very tightly.
"Bloody hell Harry you scared the hell out of me"
Harry also saw Fred and George picking up Ginny and they smiled at Harry.
"What's wrong with Ginny?" Harry asked.
"Ill tell you later Harry come on we had better get you to the hospital wing." Ron helped Harry up and helped him to the hospital wing.
Harry stayed in the hospital for a few days but Ginny was released a day after. The Weasley's were there visiting him.
"Hey Harry how are you feeling?" Ginny asked.
"Im doing loads better now thanks Ginny" he said smiling at her and suddenly Ron showed up with different food from the great hall.
"Here Harry sorry but this is basically what they had to eat" Ron said as he placed the food by Harry's bed.
"It's alright and guys" he said to Ginny, Fred and George "can I talk to Ron for a few minutes please" they smile and they leave the room. Ron looks at him.
"What is it Harry?" he sits on the edge of Harry's bed.
Harry tells Ron about him seeing Hermione and what they had talked about and Ron was embarrassed and he started turning red.
"Well I have to give her credit she really knows what's going on" Ron said still red turning to look at something else.
Harry looks at him and smiles thinking 'Hermione was right'
"Hey Ron?"
Ron turns and looks at Harry again.
"Yeah?"
Before Ron knew it Harry had kissed him on the lips and Ron was shocked.
"I love you too."
Ron got over his shock and he turned a darker red but he went and kissed Harry back.
"Just promise me one thing Harry" Ron said seriously to Harry.
"What is that Ron?" Harry looks up at him.
"Promise me you won't leave me or hell not even scare me like that ever again."
Harry smiles at Ron
"Ok I promise just as long as you don't do anything stupid to try and help me"
Ron blushed.
"Oh shut up, Harry"
