Letters and Grief
A/N Sorry 4 the wait. I was just waiting 4 reviews. Didn't know ppl were reading it! I only made dEth-2-sParky read it. Lol. Thanks 4 the reviews to my stories, SnowPixie!! You've been a great help. Now, on with the show!! I mean story..lol:
It's been 2 days since Ron left Hogwarts to fight in the war. All she did was sit in class with Lavender and Parveti, who tried to cheer her up. When there wasn't any classes, she hung around Ginny, who had the same grief as Hermione had. Only problem was, Ginny got a letter from Harry, and Hermione never got one from Ron. She wasn't excpecting him too, though, because the war is about a full time job, but still, she wanted to hear from him.
"Hermione, are you ok? You haven't said anything for an hour," Ginny said, looking at the clock on the wall.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Again, though, tell me what Harry said about Ron," Hermione said, sitting up on the couch in the common room. Ginny sighed and then laughed.
"Well, in the first letter, Harry said Ron was doing fine, and that ALL he ever talked about was you. They're staying in these tents, you know, like M*a*s*h. (A/N M*a*s*h isn't mine, so ya know. Can't sue me now!!!) Ron and Harry share one, and Seamus and Dean have the one next to them. Harry also said that the first night, Ron kept say, 'I love you Hermione' in his sleep," Ginny started, looking at the first letter she got out of her backpack. Then she got out another letter, which Hermione never saw before.
"When did you get that, Giny?" Hermione asked, not taking her eyes off it.
"I got it while you were off in space. I didn't want to disturb you, so I waited until you got up, but you never did," Ginny laughed, and Hermione smiled. It was the second time Ginny had laughed today, and since Harry left, but Hermione never did yet.
"Anyways, want me to read the whole thing? Well, only the parts about Ron? Just don't kill me when I do," Ginny asked, and Hermione nodded. Ginny cleared her throat and read it aloud:
"Ron, on the other, hadn't said anything today. Very quiet, and mad. Mostly mad because he has no time to write to Hermione, because he's always out in the wars. But I'm always by his side, and that might change. They started to split the people up. Some stay here, in the Gunder area, and others will be off in the Fute area. Hopefully, we won't be changed, cause I don't think Ron will make it. He's going to try to write to Hermione tonight.The problem is.." Ginny suddenly stopped as she read the rest to herself. She looked at me.
"Well, I better get to bed.." Ginny pretended to yaw and started to get up, but Hermione cut in.
"What's wrong, what happened? What problem? And besides, it's only 3 in the afternoon, you can't be tired," Hermione said, her heart beating fast. Ginny bit her lip, sat back down, and started to read the letter again.
"The problem is, just eight hours before I started writing this letter, Ron was..how do I say it? Um..shot.." Ginny stopped and looked at Hermione again. She saw that Hermione was about to faint.
"Are you ok, Hermione?? Let me finish before you have a heart attack," Ginny said, very fast. She started to read again, but telling it in a story way. 'Harry must've put it in' Hermione thought.
FLASHBACK ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ron and Harry quietly snuck around the trees in the forest, wands in their hands. Their mission was to get across the open field, along side of Seamus and Dean. Seems easy to do, but what didn't make it easy, was the fact that muggles with guns were around there. Looking to see if the muggles weren't searching the area, they ran across.
"I hope we'll make it," Ron whispered to Harry.
"We will. Look, we're almost to the end," Harry whispered back. He was right. They were only feet away from the other side. Seamus and Dean were a little bit ahead of Harry and Ron, but they could still hear them yell, "Watch out!!!"
Just as they did, there was a bang, and Ron fell to the ground. They were almost there. Trees were just inches from them, so Harry lifted Ron and fast, but safely, headed towards them, away from the guns. Slowly, Harry set Ron down beside a tree, while Seamus helped. Dean was taking gaurd. Blood was starting to cover Ron's chest area, and his clothes were soaked in it. 'Oh, god, please don't be too serious,' Harry thought to himself, taking a cloth out of his backpack, and placed it over Ron's wound. The good part was that Ron had his eyes opened, and he didn't seem like he was shot at all. Ron started smiled.
"Well, we made it," Ron said, laughing carefully. Harry smiled, but then noticed how Ron's face was losing color, and his eyes weren't a bright blue, but a pale blue. It seemed that Seamus and Dean saw this, too. Knowing the closest hospital was just minutes away, Seamus got up.
"I'm going for help. I'll be VERY fast," Seamus said, and started to run for help.
"Harry?" Ron asked weakly.
"Yeah?" Harry said, turning back towards Ron. His eyes were opened just a little bit.
"If I don't make it," Ron said, and Harry shuddered at the thought of his best friend dying, "please tell Hermione I love her." Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"I'm not going to, because you will. You're not going to die," Harry said to Ron.
"You never know, Harry. Just..if I DO die, please tell her I love her," Ron weakly pleaded. Harry knew that if he didn't, he'd be letting his best friend down.
"I promise, but you won't die," Harry said again, but he wasn't so sure about it now. Ron then fainted, and his breathes were starting to get tiny. 'Where's Seamus?' Harry thought, making sure Ron was still alive. Suddenly, an ambulance started to come through the trees. They got out, and lifted Ron inside, while another parametic asked Harry questions. Like, 'who shot him?' and 'how long has he been shot'. After the questions, Harry and Dean walked slowly behind to the next area, where Ron's been taken.
"What would happen to Hermione if Ron dies? He's only 15!" Harry asked, kicking some rocks out of the way. Dean and Seamus looked at each other.
"He won't; you said it yourself. And if he does, I don't think Hermione would take it too well," Dean said, and Seamus nodded. "It's going to be fine, thought. Don't worry." And they reached the area.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ END OF FLASHBACK
"Don't worry though, Ginny. He's still alive, and in the hospital at our area. While in war, one of the muggles shot him in the chest, as I said. Luckily, it was the area where the heart was far away from, so he's ok. I bet he's writing Hermione now." Ginny finished. She looked at Hermione, who's eyes were wide and her mouth was hanging open from the shock. Ginny gave Hermione a hug, but then an owl flew through the window, and landed next to Hermione. Gasping, she unwrapped the letter, gave the owl a treat, and opened it. After a few seconds of reading it, she smiled.
"It's from Ron!" She practically screamed.
A/N Leaving you at a cliffhanger, and I know what's gonna happen!!! Ok..not really, but, yeah. PLEASE REVIEW, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
