Chapter 7: END

"HERMIONE!" Ron yelled out. He stared at her mesmerized. He didn't realize he had control of his own body, until he fell to the floor limp.

He crawled across the floor until he reached her. He wrapped her into his arms and cried on her shoulder. "I'm sorry Hermione! I didn't mean to." He felt his body go numb. He hadn't meant for this to happen.

Angel laughed at the sight. She thought it was the most hilarious thing in the world. She was glad Hermione was finally dead. She couldn't interfere with the Dark Lords plans now.

Ron got to his feet and stared at her for a moment like she was insane. "Why are you doing this?" He asked in a low dangerous tone. "What in the bloody hell has she ever done to you?" His anger was skyrocketing. He could hardly think. He had only one thought in his mind when he pointed his wand at her.

"Ron what are you doing?" She backed up as she pulled out her own wand to defend herself. She didn't think that Ron would actually hurt her, but the look in eyes told her otherwise and she wasn't sure she was willing to bargain her life on that at this second in time.

Ron opened his mouth and started to mutter, his wand held high. "Avada Kedavra." He watched as Angel's body fell to the ground with a loud thump. He shut his mouth quickly and turned around. If that didn't come out of his mouth, who was it? He saw Harry standing behind him with his wand raised.

"Sorry it took us so long to get here." Harry said walking over to his best friend, followed by Ginny.

"What are you guys doing here?" Ron asked finally finding his voice, this was a lot to handle at one short span.

"Hermione sent Ginny to get me, we got here as soon as we could." Harry looked around. "Speaking of Hermione, where is she?" He glanced all over searching for her with concern.

Ron wiped away the tear that slipped down his cheek and pointed to her body, not able to actually say the words.

Ginny was the first to reach her dropping to the ground by her side quickly and checking for a pulse.

Harry cautiously walked over, but didn't touch her afraid he would damage her. She was so pale; she looked so fragile like she could break at any second. "Is she okay?" He asked cautiously.

"She's DEAD! Of course she's not okay." Ron yelled and put his face in his hands; he couldn't look at Harry right now, he was too ashamed. What was he suppose to say when he just killed someone who has always been there, someone who put up with his Weasley temper, someone who he'd had a crush on since he met her and he never got to tell her. He never got to say he was sorry for what had happened. How was he supposed to make this up?

She hadn't felt any pulse so she just hugged her; hiding her tears and letting them seep onto Hermione's chest. She automatically jumped back astounded. "She's breathing." She whispered. She turned to her brother and Harry who were both crying. "SHE'S BREATHING!"

"What?" They both asked in unison rushing forward to her.

"Yeah I felt her heartbeat." Ginny gave them a watery smile and hugged her brother. "Everything is going to be alright. We just have to get her back to Hogwarts so Madam Pomfrey can treat her." She said unable to contain her excitement.

Ron felt his heart start again. Hermione was hopefully going to be okay, no thanks to him. He sighed. He was going to have to do some major groveling and pleading to get her to even look at him. He now knew he had completely lost his chance with her and it had to be after he had realized he loved her; he had the most terrible luck in all of England.

Harry put a hand on Ron's shoulder. "She'll understand. She'll forgive you." He said reading his friend's face and trying to be reassuring.

Ron gave a fake laugh. "Not in the next century." He frowned and sniffed back the tears that threatened to fall.

"You know this makes me wonder. What happened? Why isn't she dead?" Ginny asked. "I mean you did use the Death curse on her right?" She looked to her brother. "We saw you from the door." She answered his unasked question.

"Yeah." He stared down at Hermione puzzled. "You're right. Why isn't she dead?"

"Maybe you didn't perform the curse right." Harry said as he bent down next to her and picked her up. "Whatever it was, we better get her to Hogwarts before she does die."

Ron and Ginny both nodded.

After the incident the months went by fast. Hermione and Ron never talked. Ron was afraid of what to say to her. He knew he deserved to be yelled at. He just wished she would say something to him instead of giving him the silent treatment.

Hermione on the other hand, had forgiven Ron, she just never told him. She wanted him to talk to her first and since he never did reach out, she just never said anything to him. Of course they both talked to Harry but it just felt odd even being in the same room as Ron now.

They were on the Hogwarts train home for the last time. None of them spoke the entire travel. Tension was in the air the whole way home.

The train came to a halt at King Cross Station.

They saw their parents waiting for them. Sirius was waiting for Harry next to the Weasley's. Sirius's name had been cleared Harry's 6th year. Harry couldn't wait to have another summer with his Godfather.

Ron glanced at his parents and then Hermione. He whispered something in Ginny's ear. She nodded and walked over to the family.

Ron swallowed hard. He strolled over to the girl he had been avoiding these past few months. "Hey Hermione." He looked at the ground sheepishly.

"He can talk, I thought you lost your voice." Hermione paused. "Well to me anyway." She thought about the way Ron always talked to Harry but ignored her.

"Yeah well, I have a question." He sighed and waited for the rejection he knew was on the way.

"Yes?" She pressed for him to continue, the suspense building up inside her.

"I know I don't deserve this but, you were right." He bit his lip as he said the bitter truth. "And I didn't realize I was making a mistake with Angel until I was snapped back into reality when I thought you were dead. I knew then that I love you Hermione. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I already know what your answer is but, will you marry me?" Ron said as he bowed his head to the floor. Expecting her to yell, predicting her to laugh in his face and make him feel guilty for everything he had already punished himself for.

"You expect me to just forgive you? After calling me a Mudblood, accusing me of something I didn't do, almost using the Death curse on me?" A trace of malice in her voice.

"Yeah I know, you don't have to tell me twice." Ron said and started to walk away.

"I didn't say I was done. Yes!" Hermione smiled and grabbed his arm in order to turn him around.

"What do you mean yes?" He asked praying he still had a little hope.

"Ron, I stayed with you when you pushed me away. I jumped in front of the door before she could take you to the Dark Lord. I didn't hit you when you called me a Mudblood." She laughed. "I could've left you high and dry a long time ago but I didn't, because I love you, and I want you to remember that. And yes is the answer to your question you git." She answered saying the last word playfully.

Ron jumped up, ran over to her, and kissed her like there was no tomorrow. When he pulled back, he gave her the biggest smile he could conjure. "I'm going to make you the most happiest Woman alive."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "You better, after everything you put me through. You're lucky I'm even letting you touch me at all."

"I'll make it up to you I promise. I'll give you anything you want." Ron kissed her again not letting her out of his arms afraid she'll try to sneak away.

"Well I could use some new books." Hermione said deep in thought.

"Anything you want, just don't ask me to kill anyone for you." Ron pleaded as they walked side by side to his parents to tell them the happy news.

Harry and Ginny gave each other high fives in the distance. It was about time.

A/N: YAH! It's done it's done. No more slaving away. :Jumps around, grabs her Hermione and Ron plushies and makes them kiss: Happy ending. Please review.
