"Hermione where have you been?" Shelley asked her when Hermione came back into the house.
"No where, he's gone! I'll never see my fiancé again!" Hermione lied. She ran upstairs with a new sense of life. She opened her wardrobe, and started to stuff her clothes into her school trunk. She pilled everything in, her spell books too. She found her photo album. She stopped packing to look at it; she first saw a magical picture of the day Gryffindor first won the Inner House Championship; they were all smiling, laughing. She has hugging Harry in glee, Ron didn't look as happy as Harry or Hermione, and he looked left out. She tore herself away form it and stuffed it in her trunk

Hermione left a note for her parents, she couldn't be that cruel to her parents. It was dark and cold outside; it was very quiet and difficult looking for Ron with the help of a small wand light. She tripped over a few branches. She whispered for Ron many times. "Ron!" She croaked, not wanting to disturb any foxes. She found a bench to rest on, and she got a big fright when someone put their hand on her shoulder. "Agh! Ron?"
"Yes?"
"Oh thank heavens it's you!"
"Right, I've booked us a place in a hotel for the night, so then we can get away from London quicker, I don't want the Ministry finding me... yet."
"Oh Ron, what would I do with out you?"
"Be a single mother!"
"Oh my, I forgot about that." Hermione hung her head in sorrow. She forgot about the next months. There was a silence for a few minutes.
"Shall we go then?"
"Oh right yeah, come on." They stood up and proceeded to the main road.
They didn't meet anyone on their way to the Hotel. Hermione was very tired by the time she reached the Hotel. Hermione felt very dizzy and faint. She swayed on the spot for a moment before collapsing on the steps up to the Hotel.
Someone was singing, she could hear a soft voice. Hermione saw a faint light too. "Hermi, are you alright?" Someone whispered, their voice was small and distant. "Hermi?"
"Ron?" She croaked, hoping it was him. "Is it you?"
"No, It's Harry." Hermione tried to sit up, but her body was too weak.
"Where's Ron?"
"The Ministry found him." She opened her eyes wider; Harry's black hair and bright green eyes came into focus. "How did they find him?"
"Well you collapsed, he carried you into the Hotel, and it just so happens that Snape was there, he brought Ron to the Ministry, and you ended up at St. Mungo's Hospital."
"No, not Ron!"
"Hermi, I thought you'd never wake up!"
"How long have I been here?"
"Two weeks." Hermione tried to sit up again, but she couldn't.
"The doctors are so concerned, you were already pregnant when you were stabbed and got the Crutatious curse put on you, then you got sicker, then you collapsed out of stress and exhaustion, your really not well!"
"Is Ron OK?"
"Hermione! Stop thinking about Ron, your health is important!"
"Why isn't he here now then?"
"He went missing again."
"No!"
"Oh yeah, your all over Muggle news, your believed to be dead."
"Oh well, my parents won't care."
"Don't say that, it's horrible!"
"How would you know, you don't have parents?"
"Fine, look Herm-" They were disturbed by some shouting down the corridor.
"Keep his airway clear, we cant lose him!" A doctor shouted.
"Who is it?" Hermione asked Harry, trying to look though the curtains.
"We're losing him! Try the Rejuvenate Charm Dr Monroe!" There was a rush of air.
"Nurse Lucy, we've lost him!" Dr Monroe said grimly, Harry stepped out of the cubical. Hermione lay there hoping the person was not someone she knew.
"Harry?" She called, wondering where he had gone. He came back; his face was blank and pale. "Are you OK?"
"Hermi, it was..."
A cliffhanger has to be intended!
"No, oh no!" Tears ran down her face, "Why him? Oh Harry!" Harry sat down beside her.
"He's always looked after me, he's been like a father to me." Harry whispered, quite dazed. "After all he has been through, then he just dies!" Harry started to shake a bit.
"Harry, oh, don't worry, you've still got Sirius, and he's free now!" Hermione rubbed Harry's hand, hoping he'll feel better.
"Yeah, I've got Sirius, and pregnant best friend."
"Harry, I don't know what to do. Dumbledore's always been there!"
"I know, from the day I was born, but not until the day I die." Harry sank into the armchair.
"Harry, to make you feel better, and it'll make me feel better too."
"What do I have to do?"
"Find Ron for me, and make it up with him!"
"No way!"
"Harry, please! I'm depressed enough with out you hating Ron!"
"Fine, I find him, I'll make it up for you, but I'm doing it for you, not for me or Ron!"
"Good, go now!"
"Hermione where have you been?" Shelley asked her when Hermione came back into the house.
