Chapter 7: Run like Hell
The pain cursed through Ron's body with full force, making him fall to the floor screaming in pain. The pain was beginning to throb so bad, Ron was sure he would never see Hermione, Harry, or anyone else ever again. He slowly started to drift off to an unknown slumber, as everything started getting darker, and darker, and dark..
"Please Ron Don't Die!"
Ron started coming back to reality, back to the sobbing plea for him, back to his girl.
Ron stood up, pain still cursing through his body; he pointed his wand shakily at Hermione's grandfather, and shakily shouted
"Expelliarmus"
Mr Granger's wand flew from his hand across the hall and landed at Harry's feet. Snape then grabbed Mr Granger S.r. and slammed him up against the wall, rendering him unconscious. Mrs Weasley grabbed Ron and held him, crying
"Mum, MUM I'm ok, let me go." Ron said muffled by his mother's jumper
He then looked over to Hermione, who was staring at him shaking from head to toe. He got up, walked shakily over to her and took her hand
"Are you ok Hermione?" He asked
Hermione stared at Ron for a minute through the tears welled up in her eyes, then threw her arms around his torso and started sobbing.
"I think it wise if we postpone this ceremony for another date. Meanwhile, Mr Weasley and Miss Granger will follow me to my office so we can contact Miss Granger's parents." Dumbledore said to Professor McGonagall as she took Mr Granger's wand from Harry's hands.
Dumbledore then gently took Hermione's hand and led her and Ron out of the great hall. Once in the front hall, Dumbledore excused himself to speak to the guests at the ceremony. As soon as he left, Hermione burst into tears.
"Shh, don't cry darling, it'll be ok" Ron whispered soothingly in Hermione's ear, holding her close
"Ron, I can't do this, what will my parents say? They'll hate me." She sobbed into Ron's chest
"They won't hate you darling, you can do this. You're strong enough to do this, Trust me." Ron said soothingly
"But I don't think I can do this on my own Ron. Will you.." She started, tears flowing down her fragile face
"I'll be with you, don't worry." He finished, wiping her tears
Hermione gave him a weak smile as Dumbledore walked into the front hall, and started leading them up to his office. Ron and Hermione walked together up the stairs, Ron holding Hermione the whole way.
