Disclaimer: I don't own the World of Harry Potter except for Ron's elbow…I bought it for just three easy payments of $39.95 on Ebay. (I'm just kidding so J.K. Rowling if you're reading this you already know that you own all of it. So please don't sue me, I was just trying to make a joke!)

A/N: So another chapter. I can't believe how many of you want Ron and Hermione together. I don't blame you because they BELONG together. But I'm not sure exactly what I have planned for them just yet. I may decide that I didn't get enough reviews so I'll be spiteful and make them hate each other or something like that *instert evil laughter*  

You're In My Heart Forever

Chapter Three

Harry and Ginny walked into the noisy, crowded airport at 2:00. Fifteen minutes before Ron's flight was scheduled to land. They made their way through a large crowd of people to arrive at the gate just as a tall man with signature Weasley hair and freckles walked into the noisy airport. Before he had time to look around a woman with the same hair and freckles was running straight at him.

            "Ron!" Ginny yelled as she ran over to her brother and hugged him as tightly as she could manage.

            "Ginny it's wonderful to see you!" Ron exclaimed as he stepped back to get a good look at his little sister. "But what are you doing here? Harry wasn't supposed to tell anyone I was coming home"

            "Well he did and it serves you right, leaving for five years without telling anyone and not even having the common decency to send an owl once in a while." Ginny said this to her brother and got a few strange stares at the mention of owls"

            "Yeah Ron, " Harry said walking up to his best friend and then giving him a friendly hug. "Why didn't you send anyone an owl? "Harry said also receiving some stares also"

            "I'll explain everything when we get home" Ron said trying to subtly change the subject. "So where is Hermione?, I'm sure you told her I was coming home too." Ron said while he scanned the crowds for Hermione's face.

            "We didn't tell her you were coming home Ron," Harry said looking to Ginny for some help.

            "We assumed you'd want to tell her yourself" Ginny added.

            "Oh" was all Ron could get out.

            "Well we should be going now," Harry said "A lot of catching up to do, and I'm sure you want to see everyone"

            So Harry, Ron and Ginny collected Ron's luggage and Headed for the Burrow.

            About an hour after Harry and Ginny met Ron at the airport Harry apparated into Hermione's living room.

            "Hermione it's Harry, are you here?" Harry called out.

            "I'm in the kitchen Harry!" Hermione answered back.

            Harry walked into the kitchen to see Hermione sitting at the table doing none other than reading.

            "Umm Hermione I have some good and bad news for you" Harry said trying to hold off the inevitable.

            "What is it Harry?" Hermione asked him wanting to know what was wrong

            "Well I might as well tell you" Harry said hesitating. "Ron's back"

            "What!" was all that she managed to say before she blacked out and hit the floor.

            "Hermione, Hermione wake up!" Harry said to Hermione as he grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

            "What did you just say?" Hermione asked feeling a little woozy.

            "I said that Ron's back" Harry answered.

            "Are you kidding?" She asked him.

            "No" Harry answered simply pulling her up to her feet. "And he can't wait to see you so let's go to the Burrow"

            "Right now! he decides to come back right now!" She yelled grabbing Harry's hand and standing back on her feet. "Who does he think he is leaving for five years and then just waltzing back into our lives", "My life" she said this as she walked over to the stove to make herself a very strong cup of tea.

            "I know how you feel Herm, everyone does" Harry said trying to comfort his friend.

            "No Harry you don't," she said, the kitchen becoming blurry amidst a sea of tears. "You weren't in love with him and had to deal with him leaving for no reason." "I waited for him to come back for four years, four long years." She said this as tears started to flow down her cheeks. "And then I finally find someone and he has to come back now"

            Harry walked over to his friend, put his hand on her shoulder and walked her over to the couch where she sat down.

            "Maybe I don't know how that feels Herm, but I do know that Ron's coming back doesn't mean that your life is over, it just means that you have some thinking to do" "Ron really wants to see you, he sent me over here to come get you, he just wants to talk to you." Harry said this in a very soothing tone trying to get Hermione to calm down.

            She was quiet for a few minutes then finally spoke, "I don't want to see him." Was all she could manage to say without breaking down again.

            "Who are you kidding Hermione?" Harry asked her. " Everyday for the last five years you've been wishing for him to come home and now that he's finally back you don't want to see him." "Did you hit your head on something when you fell?" He asked her.

            "I'm just afraid that my life will be turned upside down again." She said. "And it's just started to go good right now." "I don't know if I can handle seeing him again."

            "Who are you kidding, you want to see him and you know it, now if you don't come willingly then I'll have to force you to come" he said this as he grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet.

            They walked over to the fireplace. Harry motioned for Hermione to go first. He wasn't taking any chances. After taking a pinch of floo powder and tossing it into the fire she said 'The Burrow' and stepped into the fire. When the fire was back to normal Harry did the same.

            Hermione stepped out of the fireplace in the Weasley living room closely followed by Harry. She noticed the warm glow coming through the top and bottom spaces of the kitchen door and heard familiar voices.

            "Come on Hermione" Harry said to his friend.

            She took his hand, squeezing it tightly, and they walked into the kitchen.

A/N: I know, I know, another cliffhanger. I can't help it, they make stories so much more interesting and then people want to know what happens so they review *hint hint* and tell me to hurry up and write more. Anyways I hope you like it. And by the way this chapter was 1 ½ pages longer than the last one. So Ha! Anyways tell me what you think and what you want Hermione's reaction to be when she sees Ron. Oh yeah and what I said about what would happen if I don't get enough reviews was not a joke! *muah ha ha ha ha *
