"Hey thanks for taking me with you guys." Hermione said
"No problem. It's not out of the way. Anyway I'd like to see your parents again. They are pretty nice people." Harry said.
"I really hope Anne is behaving herself for Snape." Rose said
"Oh she'll be fine." Hermione said. "Anyway my parents aren't so great if you had to live with them 24/7. They begin to drive you insane!"
"Don't they all" Rose said
" I wouldn't know, considering, I've never had any parents. Thank you Peter Pettigrew." Harry said very sarcasticly
Hermione laughed as she looked out the window. Just then something caught her eye. I was a car. Coming straight at them. "Harry" she yelled "Whatch out for that car!" But it was alredy to late.
2:45 a.m
Ron sat up in bed. Bolted up actully. "You okay?" Cristine asked
"Yeah." he said, but he had a very bad feeling something had happend.
"You sure?" Cristine asked, worried "You're pretty shakey."
"Fine. I'm fine." Ron said
The phone rang 'Who would be calling at this hour?' Ron thought "Hello?"
"Ron?" the voice on the other line said. "This is Rose. I've got bad news."
"What happend?" Ron asked hurriedly
"Harry, Herm and I were in an accident" Rose said "Harry and I are okay, but Herm, she's not doing so well."
"Where are you?" Ron said
"St. Mungos" Rose said
"See you in 2 seconds."
"Bye" and she hung up
"Whats wrong" Cristine asked
"Car wreck involving my best friends. I've got to go."
"Bye." she answered "I love you."
"Love you too." Ron said, and he dissapeared.
"Ron" Rose said. She had a broken arm and was very well cut up. "I'm so glad you're here."
Ron looked around. Remus Lupin, Sirius and Sara Black were there. Snape was sitting there too, playing with Anne. Sirius was beaming at his grandaughter. You could tell he had been crying though. The thought of almost losing his daughter and godson was too much. "Are you okay?" Ron asked Rose.
"Fine. Harry has to have surgrey on his leg. It was pretty badly damaged. My arm's in 3 pieces. But Herm.... Go see her Ron. She's in Room 22"
"Thanks Rose." and he set off.
Ron opend the door to Room 22, and almost cried.
"Good Lord, Hermione." he said quietly
Hermione was lying in the bed, scraped, cut and broken. She was black and blue, and one of her eyes was swollen shut.
"Ron!" she said "You're here!"
"Of course I am." Ron said gently "When my girls in the hospital, where else would I be? On the moon?"
"Don't make me laugh." Hermione said quietly "It hurts to."
"What happend?" he asked
"Ask Harry or Rose. They were consicuous at the time." Hermione said "Are they okay?"
"Fine." said Ron. "I'm so sorry Hermi. That I wasn't there for you. That I left you."
"Ron" Hermione said "Don't blame yourself. You have had a harder life than I."
"Yeah and I made it worse for you when I got you pregnet at age 17." He was begging to hate himself
"Don't even go there." Herm said "If you remember I was raped? I got preganat at age 15 first. I was the one who chose to go to sleep with you in your bed that night. I was the one who chose to do everything."
"Quit blaming yourself. If I had never asked you, you would have never had to go though that pain."
"Quit hosting a pity-party for me, Ron." Hermione said "If you had never asked me, I'd have never had Nicole. I would have never known her the 3 months that I did. I'm a fighter, Ron. And a winner. Not a loser. I never lose. I never give up. I'll fight till the end. You can count on that."
"You may have met your match though." Ron said "This"
"I'll survive, Ron. Thats a promise." Hermione said
"I better go. I'll talk to you later." Ron said. He got up and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek, and turned to leave. But just before he walked out the door, he heard Hermione.
"Ron," she said "I love you."
"I love you too, Herm." he answered and left.
Ron got to the motel and collapsed on the bed.
"How is she, Ron?" Cristine asked
"Not good." Ron answered
"Poor girl." Cristine said "Hold on phone."
"Answer is please. I'm going to take a shower." Ron told her
Ron got out of the shower, dressed and walked into the room, where Cristine was sitting on the bed, looking white and grim.
"Ron," she started "That was Rose. Hermione went into a coma just after you left. And there is a really good chance she's not going to come out of it. I'm really sorry."
Ron ran outside and kept running, despite Cristine's calls, until he reached a dead in by a mountain. He sat down there and cried.
