Changing Times
Author: Zille
Rating: PG13
Spoilers: Pretty much the first four books.
Distribution: wwwzille@yahoo.com
Happening: Some time after Hogwarts.
Pairing: Harry/Hermione
Disclaimer: All hail the JK!!! Okay, so,
obviously, HP belongs to JK Rowling (the JK), and I own nothing.
Yadda, yadda, yadda. But Bwahaha! Maybe, one day... (da-da-da-dammm)
Nah, that'll never happen. I'm way too un-British. (No idea if
the JK is British, but I figured since Hogwarts is in England,
she probably lives there too, otherwise she would have made it in
USA, Australia, or where ever she might live.)
Summary: Oh, no, I hate this part... Okay,
Hermione and Ron in getting married but she runs out on him
because she can't seem to forget about a certain emerald-green-eyed,
black-haired, gorgeous... Okay, got a little carried away there...
Anyway, what happened to our dear Harry?
Dedication: To my wonderful black cat Trille,
who could very well have been in the HP movie... She's a typical
magical cat. -Oh, and to all you kind people who (hopefully) are
going to review my story... *wink, wink*
A/N: Wow, this is really starting out as a good
fic... Hopefully people will review, so I'll be encouraged to
write more. :) Oh, and just so you know; I don't know anything
about wedding vows, so I just made some up. Hope that's okay? PS;
This is my second HP fic... The first one was kind of He/R, so
please review kindly. For you reading my first fic, don't worry,
I will make a He/R fic at a later point... as soon as I am done
withn this one. :)
--------------------------------------
Chapter 1 - I am *so* not moving on...
-
"Ron, do you take this woman to be your wife? Will you love and honour her 'till death do you part?"
"I do..."
"Hermione, do you take this man to be your husband? Will you love and honour him 'till death do you part?"
"I... can't. Ron, I'm sorry. Bye."
And with that, I ran away. From everything. Poor Ron. Well, he knew I didn't love him, but I totally humiliated him up there... I am so selfish! I knew he was in love with Lavender... (a/n: Ron and Lavender??? Where did that ever come from?) But I made him marry me. Just so I would feel better. And he did marry me. After all, he is my best friend... and my only friend.
I wonder if he'll find me here. The Haunted House has been our hiding place when everything else went wrong... We used to come here a lot when we went to Hogwarts. Me, and Ron, and... Harry.
"Hermione!!!" yep, he found me.
"Ron, I'm here."
"Oh thank God I found you... They're all out looking for you Herm..." his voice was slightly cracking.
"Ron, I'm so sorry... If you never want to talk to me again, I totally understand-"
"-Hermione, that's nonsense. Of course I'll talk to you. You're my friend, I love you," he said. Reading my face, he quickly added; "-As a friend of course."
"Ron... I am truly sorry. I used you, and I ruined your every chance of having a normal life. And Lavender-"
"Don't worry about me and Lavender," he said, now sounding a bit more confident. "After you ran out on me, she came up to me and asked me if I needed a stand-in bride... I think we'll be alright," he said, slightly chuckling.
"Oh, that's great Ron..."
"-But of course I would never abandon you, Herm," he added quickly, gazing at me. God I love him. I always have -As a friend of course. Not like I loved... *him*.
"Oh, Ron..." I said, hugging him. He hugged me back. "Thank you," I whispered into his red hair.
"Come on, Hermione," he said, breaking the hug. "Don't thank me, it's the least I could do. I know you are going through a hard time... It was hard for all of us." That's Ron; always trying to make things sound less bad...
"But Ron, your hard time ended years ago... Everyone has moved on. Except me," I said, knowing it was true.
"Yes, but it was harder for you than anyone else... You loved him." Again, he read my mind. I started to cry, and even though I did my best to hide it, he still pulled me into yet another hug.
"I know... And on some level, I still do... I wish there was a way to-"
"No, Hermione," he said, facing me. He had suddenly turned serious (not Sirius!!!). "You know just as well as me that there's no way. We can't."
He was right. I would never get to see Harry again. He was dead.
--------------------------------------
Ha! I fooled ya there, didn't I??? You thought he had joined Voldemort or Draco or something like that, didn't you...? Okay, I'm sorry if you think this is a sad fic, it's really not supposed to be! Really! Just wait and see; things will get better. And don't worry, as things looks right now, I won't kill off Hermione so that she can be with Harry...
Oh, and you're probably wondering what Changing Times has to do with this... Just wait and see. :)
