Yet another chapter (15 I think)

BRAIN HAS BEEN REMOVED BY ANGRY SPACE ALIENS, HELP WHATS GOING ON: Christmas day at Hogwarts, Ginny was really hyper over
the whole christmas thing and Hermione wanted Rob awake for christmas, Ron woke up (Yay)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own these characters because if I did, I would not have sold so many copies of the books.

A/N: So, thank you all for you cool reviews, i am almost finished this story (sobs) but I am going to start re typing my
other story, like I have said before, my other story which will more than likely be called 'Harry Potter and the mysterious
Vixen' is a story that is mainly Harry, but it is also a Ron and Hermione Romance.

********************

"Merry christmas Mione"

Hermione looked at Ron who's eyes had just fluttered open.

"Ron, are you awake or I am I seeing things?" Hermione asked softly, not quite trusting herself to see things right, over
the last few days she had thought he had woken up a few times. But this time he really was awake, his eyes were open and
his breathing was regulated, he was awake, finally.

"I am awake" He mumbled weakly, Hermione smiled and hugged Ron, kissing his cheek and holding him tight.

"Ron, you have no idea how much I have wanted you to wake up" Hermione mumbled into his neck. She never wanted to let him
go ever again.

"Yeah, I wanted to wake up to" He joked weakly and stoked her hair. It was a relief to her that he was just the same old
Ron, he was tired and weak, but he was Ron.

"You scared the crap out of me, you know that right?" Hermione whispered, a tear running down her cheek. Ron reached out a
shaking hand and wiped the tear away.

"Sorry I didn't mean it..." Ron began, but she didn't want to hear it, Hermione ripped herself out of Ron's arms and began
pacing up and down his bedside.

"You have no idea how helpless I felt, just leaving you in that room to die, leaving you there and knowing what malfoy was
planning on doing to you. Did you stop to think what you had put me through?" Hermione exclaimed, she felt bad about yelling
at Ron, especially when he was so weak looking, but she had to let it all out. She had just lived the worst week of her life,
and it was indirectly his fault.

"I said I am sorry, i really am" Ron began again

"I thought you were dead, i thought that I would never see you again, do you know how it feels to lose someone like that?
Why didn't you tell some one about your plan, why didn't you tell me about your plan?" she asked and paced more.

"I didn't have time to tell any one, I couldn't let Malfoy hurt you" Ron replied. Hermione stopped pacing and then stopped,
looked at Ron and then burst into tears. She collapsed onto his bed and sobbed into his strong chest. He felt bad about the
whole situation, he had never even thought about how Mione would feel, all he had thought about was getting her away from
Malfoy.

"I love you Ron, don't scare me like that again, ever" She sobbed, Ron tightened his arms around her.

"I am sorry"

"Do you promise never to be that stupid again?" Hermione sat up and begged him.

"I promise" He pulled her back into a hug. "How long was I asleep?"

"About a week" Hermione replied

"Then today is christmas...I have a present for you back in my dorm" He whispered

"No Ron, I dont want any thing, I have you back, that is all that matters" She replied

"I love you hermione"

"I love you to Ron"

After Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledoor had checked over Ron, he was allowed to movve back to Gryffindor tower. Harry and Ginny
were waiting in the common room for Hermione and Ron. As they entered, Ginny jumped into her brothers arms, almost knocking
him over.

"Did you really have to scared the crap out of us all?" Ginny asked Ron as she pulled away from him.

"Oh, don't you start, Mione has already lectured me about what I did, she seems to be foregetting that I saved her life" Ron
replied, smiling at Hermione.

"I know you saved my life, but you were a total prat the way you did it" She smiled back, she felt so good just joking around
with her firends. She had not laughed for a long time.

"Fine, next time I see Malfoy about to rape you or something, I'll just let him do it shall I?" Ron joked

"Let's not even joke about that ok" Hermione smiled nervously and pulled Ron over to the lounge chair. The fire was
crackling already.

"Well, we are going to leave you two alone for a little while, um, merry christmas" Harry smiled and handed Ron and Hermione
two gift wrapped boxes. Harry turned to leave and Ron stood, he whispered something in Harry's ear and then returned to the
fire side. He sat and pulled Hermione into his arms.

"I sat by the fire every night when you were in the hospital wing" Hermione informed Ron "I stayed here for hours on end, I
even slept down here some nights"

"I am really sorry about how I made you feel, I thought that I was doing the right thing by you" Ron told her.

"I am sorry about the way that I acted, I ve been messed up since that night, the guilt was getting to me, and then when I
found out you were still alive i was so scared that i would really lose you. I know you risked your life for me, I am sorry
I yelled at you earlier" Hermione replied, she ran her hand along his jaw.

"Dont be sorry, it is good that you let it all out like that. I mean, you were most effected by this, all I did was go to
sleep for a week" Ron joked

"How about we just forget about this, we should try and get our life back on track" Hermione replied

"That sounds like a great idea" Ron smiled. Harry cleared his throat at the foot of the stairs to the dorm room. He moved to
the couch and handed Ron a small black box.

"I know you said that you didn't want any thing from me, but i got you this any way" Ron smiled and handed the box to
Hermione. She opened the box and looked at the gold braclet.

"Ron, this is beautiful, I love it, thank you" Hermione smiled as Ron helped her clasp it onto her wrist. She hugged him and
kissed his cheek.

"Not as beautiful as you" Ron whispered and ran his hand along her cheek. She blushed slightly as his fingers laced through
her hair, pulling her mouth to his. The first kiss was soft and sweet, a culmination of weeks of pain. The passion of their
kisses soon broke down all of the walls that had been holding them apart over the last few weeks.

They sat in front of the fire for a few hours. Not really saying very much. Neither really had nothing to say, they were just
happy to be together again.

*******

Breakfast on boxing day was one of the best breakfasts Hermione had ever had at Hogwarts. She sat with her three best friends
in the world (well, her two best friends and her boyfriend) and for the first time in a long time she laughed and joked with
the rest of them.

"Ahh, food, the thing I missed the most when I was asleep" Ron exclaimed as he entered the great hall

"Hey" Hermione pouted

"Sorry Mione, but you will always come second to food" Ron smiled and hugged her, they sat at the Gryffindor table and began
eating.

"I dont think I would ever admit this Ron, but I am glad that you didn't die" Ginny smiled across the table at her brother.

"Thanks Gin, good to know you care" He smiled "I am just annoyed that I missed a week of my holidays. I am going to be
spending the next week doing homework."

"I am sure Dumbledoor will write you a note" Harry smiled

"Yeah, Dear Professor insert name here, Ron did not finish his holiday home work due to the fact that he was in a coma for a
week and then hanging around with his friends for the other week...yours faithfully, Dumbledoor" Ginny mocked.

"I dont need a note, I have Hermione" Ron smiled

"Oh no you dont, you are not coping my homework" Hermione exclaimed

"Fine, last time I ever save you"

"I just hope that they catch Malfoy soon" Ginny smiled as she reached for some more pumpkin juice. Ron's fork full of eggs
stopped its journey to his mouth.

"You mean Malfoy is still out there...I though he would be in Azkaban by now" Ron exclaimed

"He managed to get away from Dumbledoor, he made it back to muggle London and every body is to scared the try and arrest the
son of a death eater" Hermione informed him.

"That's pathetic, the git almost killed me and people are to scared to get up off the asses and arrest him" Ron exclaimed,
outraged.

"Don't worry Ron, I am sure they will get him when he comes back to school" Ginny replied.

"They better" Ron spat and began eating again. Hermione sat silently. Soon every the others turned to stare at her

"You ok Mione?" Harry asked

"I think I have a plan to get back at Malfoy." She smiled wickedly, the others grinned and leaned in to hear her talk.
