DISCLAIMER :Oh, come on, J.K. is so not THIS evil
We sat in front of Molly and Arthur, two people who I had come to love and care about over the past two years. And I had just told them something that no one should have to say or hear.
Molly blinked. Ron squeezed my hand.
'Cancer ?' she said again quietly.
'Can they not fix it ?' Arthur said.
I shook my head. We had explained it to them, and they were going to have us stay for a few days.
Arthur took off work, saying he needed a break anyway. We had a nice few days together. Sometimes I would forget that I was even sick. We had so much fun, always laughing, always happy. I would be smiling, and having so much fun, and I'd see Ron looking at me, with this look of just love and sadness. It would make me realise, just how much I loved him.
After two days, we came to our last night at the Burrow, and me and Ron just lay in bed, his arms around me, holding me tight.
'I know you're going to die, Hermione, and I know that we won't be together much longer. And from the moment I saw you, I knew. I needed you in my life. I love you, I love everything about you. And I would love nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you. You......you're everything to me. You're my heaven and earth. Would you marry me ? I've wanted to ask you since I met you. Could we make it real ? Hermione, will you marry me ?'
I wanted to say yes. I really did. But I couldn't say no. So I shook my head. 'It wouldn't be fair to you, Ron.'
He squeezed me, tenderly. 'It wouldn't be fair if we didn't. I love you. So much. Please.' He was crying now.
I nodded and he slipped a ring onto my finger.
'It was my grandmother's,' he said, kissing me gently.

Ron and I came back to the castle the next day. We hadn't gotten an owl from Harry the whole time we had been gone, and we were starting to get worried.
On the way to the common room we ran into Harry. His eyes were red and puffy and it looked like he had been crying.
'Harry, what's wrong ?' Ron asked looking worried.
Harry burst into tears and hugged me. He took big gulps of air and pulled away from me sobbing. 'He....he...said......that-that.....you might be de- de-dead !'
'Who said that ?' I knew who he was going to say before he said it.
'M-m-malfoy ! And then I could-couldn't find y-you !,' he wailed, 'he is such an bastard ! I'm going to kill him for saying that !'
'Sssh,' I said rubbing his back, 'calm down.' He nodded and all three of us sat down. He started hiccupping.
I looked at Ron. How was I going to tell Harry if he was this worked up ?
'I'm so glad that-hic- it's not true. I-hic- don't know what I'd do if you were to die.'
'Um, Harry, I, um, am.'
'What ?' he said looking at me.
'I have cancer. I'm-I am going to die.
Malfoy, of course, had to come down that exact corridor right then. Harry looked at him.
'Hermione ! You're ok ! I mean, you're still ali-' he didn't get any farther than that because Harry had gotten up, and punched him right in the face.
'What the hell have you done Malfoy ?! Bewitched my friends to say stuff that's not true ?! Come on, get up and admit it !' Harry punched and kicked Malfoy, who was on the floor, rolled up in a ball, yelling, 'I didn't do anything Potter ! I'm not gonna fight you ! Ouch ! Stop it !'
Harry took out his wand, and me and Ron watched, in chock. We had never, ever seen Harry this mad. 'Fine, then ! I'm going to make sure you never do this to anyone ever again !'
He lowered his wand, and me and Ron finally snapped out of it. Ron lunged for Harry's wand, and I stayed out of the way, not really knowing what to do. 'Harry ! Give me the wand !' Ron said, diving for it and grabbing it. He and Harry fought over the wand, and Draco stood up.
Now the three of them stood in a circle, their hands all on the wand, kicking each other, Ron and Draco both trying to get the wand away from Harry.
Things started to become blurry, then everything was spinning. Ron suddenly looked up at me, and all three of them ran to catch me, before I fell.
J.Fo + littlebit's Note : hehe, evil. Thanx to baby-gurl25 for reviewing...... I actually cried writing the part where Ron proposes....... Does that mean I'm really pathetic ? But if she dies, he'll be all alone... ( review, and we'll see about that next chap....hehe
