You're In My Heart ForeverChapter 4
Hermione walked into the kitchen, Harry by her side. She spotted Ron instantly. He still had the signature hair and freckles of the Weasley family but he looked slightly older and he had what looked like a goatee beginning to grow on his face.
"Hermione" was all he could get out of his mouth before she walked up to him and punched him in the face. He tumbled to the ground and she stormed out of the house.
This is what you will get if you don't review the story. You have been warned *insert evil laughter*
Now on with the real story…for now! Muah ha ha ha ha!
You're In My Heart ForeverChapter 4
Hermione pushed the kitchen door open and stepped in, warm light enveloping her. She spotted Ron and started to turn around to leave but Harry grabbed her arm and turned her around, giving her an encouraging smile and a little push.
Ron immediately got up from his seat, between his mum and dad, and walked over to her.
"Hermione, I've missed you so much" he said taking her hands in his. "I have so much to talk to you about, come with me"
Before she could object Ron was pulling her into the living room and out the door. He finally stopped when they were outside alone.
"I won't blame you if you never speak to me again but let me explain everything to you." He said this to her still holding her hands.
"Why did you leave me Ron, why" Hermione asked him her eyes welling up with tears and her voice cracking slightly.
"I had no choice, Herm, I'm working for the Ministry of Magic." He told her. "As an Auror."
"What?" She asked him, completely shocked.
"I know you probably don't believe me but I had to go on a mission and I couldn't tell anyone because it would of put all of you in danger."
"So you had to go away for five years without telling anyone and now you come back and expect everything to be the same as before you left. The least you could of done was send an owl every one in a while" Hermione said this, her every word dripping with hurt and anger.
"I couldn't send any owls, it was too dangerous, I was undercover tracking a very dangerous Voldemort supporter. I couldn't risk blowing my cover, not even to send a letter to the woman I love" Ron said looking Hermione straight in the eyes pleading with her to forgive him. She looked away.
"Ron" She said, not looking him in the eyes. "You've been gone a long time, and things have changed. I waited four long years for you to come home but I met someone. I'm engaged Ron" She took her hands from his and showed him a beautiful engagement ring on her finger.
Ron just looked at the ring and walked back towards the house, not wanting her to see the pain in his eyes. He felt like she reached into his chest, ripped out his heart and did the Mexican hat dance on top of it. He walked into the house and back into the kitchen.
"Harry can I talk to you a minute" Ron asked his best friend as soon as he spotted him talking to Fred and George about their Joke Shop.
"Sure" He said as they walked into the living room. "What's on your mind"
"It's Hermione, she's engaged" Ron said painfully"
"I know Ron, I wanted to tell you but everyone thought it would be best if she told you herself." Harry said trying to comfort his friend.
"Who is he?" Ron asked simply.
"Ron don't go and do anything stupid now!" Harry warned him "remember you and I work for the ministry, we want to keep our jobs and stay out of Azkaban."
"Yeah I know" he said "but I just want to make sure it's not someone like Malfoy." He said. "Oh and by the way thanks for not telling anyone where I was"
"Your welcome, it was hard but I want you to do the same for me if I'm out on a mission like that one day." (Harry's an Auror too if you didn't pick up on that) "By the way why are you being so calm about Hermione being engaged?" Harry asked.
"Because I know she's right" He said sadly. "But don't think I'm going down without a fight" Ron said with a mischievous gleam in his eye.

Hermione, feeling like the biggest ass in the whole world, apparated home and collapsed on her bed. She felt horrible for what she had done to Ron but she didn't know what else to do. She was so distressed that she walked right past Hayden and went to her room. She didn't even say hello to him. He was hurt but figured she had a bad day and needed some space. When he went to bed he found her asleep clutching something in her arms. He covered her up and gently took the something out of her arms. It was a picture of one of her friends from school. He looked very familiar, but he didn't know why. Then it dawned on him that the man in the picture was the one that broke her heart before he had met her.
