Chapter 5 The Revival
A/N Well I think this is the last chapter so I hope you guys like it! And… well here yah are! Thanks for the reviews guys! Ur awesome!
"Ugh! What is taking him so long?!" Voldemort said impatiently pacing back and forth in front of Ron.
"Harry will come, I know he will! He'll save me! You just wait, I bet-"
"Will you shut up already?" Voldemort broke in, aggravated. "You've said that about five million times! It's getting quite over used, why don't you try and think of another bravery line for once?" Ron looked quite taken aback. He tried to adjust himself so it wouldn't be that uncomfortable tied to a tree, but it was no use, nothing he did helped.
"Well, I think we should have another go, don't you agree?" Voldemort said, suddenly putting an evil grin back on his face a he pointed his wand once more at Ron. "Cru-" but he was cut off before he could finish the Cruciatus Curse.
"No!" Hermione shrieked running from behind Voldemort and throwing herself in front of Ron.
"What the…?" Voldemort said bewildered by Hermione's sudden appearance.
"Let Ron go, Voldemort!" Harry said fiercely coming to Ron's other side.
"Well, well, well, Mr. Potter has graced us all with his presence again," Voldemort sneered.
"M-Ma-Master?" Wormtail said feebly coming to his side.
"What now, Wormtail?" Voldemort replied heatedly. "Didn't I tell you to be gone while I deal with Potter and his friends?
"Y-Yes, Master, b-b-but-"
"But nothing! Go! Get out of here!" and with that Wormtail ran back into the trees and out of sight.
"So, where were we again?" he said turning back to Harry.
"Let him go," Harry repeated through clenched teeth as he glared intensely at Voldemort.
"Ok, I can see that you are not aware of what you are up against, Harry Potter," he spat. "Me, the most feared, the most darkest, the most powerful wizard in the world! And you, famous Harry Potter completing his 7th year at Hogwarts with no magical talent what so ever to be competing with against Lord Voldemort." He finished looking around as if expecting applause. When he didn't get any he continued rambling on about how great he was.
"I'll keep him distracted while you try and get Ron untied from the tree," Harry muttered out of the corner of his mouth to Hermione trying not to move his lips as much as possible. "When you have got him untied signal me, prod me on the back or something and I'll do a spell to divert Voldemort's attention and as soon as I do the spell run for it don't turn back for anything until you get to the castle." Harry moved in front of Hermione so Voldemort couldn't see what she was doing and he could feel Hermione digging around in her robes for her wand and then getting it out and quickly murmuring spells at the magically tied knot that bound Ron to the tree.
"Dumbledore told me," Harry said at once, "he told me why I had to live at my Aunt and Uncle's house. Something to do with Ancient Magic that my Aunt carried blood that bound-"
"Yes, Dumbledore's the one to waste his time on Ancient Magic," said Voldemort scathingly. He continued to insult Dumbledore bitterly while Harry waited anxiously for Hermione's signal. Then he heard shuffling behind him and felt a sharp jab on his back that told him Hermione had successfully untied Ron from the tree. Harry quickly plunged his hands into his robes, feeling around for his wand, when he finally grasped securely it Harry pulled it out and pointed it at the bottom of Voldemort's robes.
"Incendio!" he whispered and Voldemort's robes caught on fire.
"Huh?" Voldemort said utterly distracted looking down and his robes. "Oh no!" He started jumping up and down trying to get the fire out.
"RUN!" Harry bellowed to Ron and Hermione. They all turned around and dashed through the forest as fast as they could not stopping to catch their breath once. Finally they reached the edge of the forest, but still ran to the castle. They skidded to a halt in front of the Great Hall doors breathing very rapidly.
"Ok, I'll tell Dumbledore what just happened," Harry began breathlessly. "I'll meet you back in the common room later, okay?"
"Okay," Ron and Hermione agreed. Harry opened the doors and they went in separate directions Harry heading towards Dumbledore's office and Ron and Hermione heading in the direction of the Gryffindor Tower. Ron and Hermione didn't say a word to eachother as they made their way through the corridors both recounting the events that had just passed. When they got to the portrait Ron said the password and they climbed through the portrait hole. Hermione spotted vacant seats on a couch in an empty corner. When they took their seats there has a silence for a few seconds before Hermione flung her arms around Ron's neck and began sobbing into his shoulder. Ron placed his arms around her in a comforting manner.
"It's ok, Hermione," he said soothingly. "It's all over."
"I know b-but th-the thought of anything h-h-happening to you was more than I could stand," she said still bawling her eyes out. "I mean I wouldn't even have had a chance to admit to you what I've been feeling for over these past years."
"What have you been feeling over these past years?" Ron replied almost instantly.
"Oh Ron… I want to be your friend, but I also want to be so much more than a friend to you!"
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Ron asked as if he thought his ears were deceiving him.
"I like you Ronald Weasley! I like you as more than a friend! I've liked you since the moment I laid eyes on you! I have held it in all these years."
"I feel the same way about you, too Hermione!" Ron began, "But I thought… Viktor-"
"Ron!" Hermione interrupted, "Viktor asked me to the Yule Ball because he liked me yes, but only agreed to go with him thinking that I had no chance what so ever of going with you. When I told Viktor I didn't feel the same way about him he accepted it, but asked if we could still be friends. That's why I write to him and still keep in touch. We are only friends and nothing else! Nothing went on between Viktor Krum and I nor will anything ever go on between us!" Ron felt dazed as he listened to Hermione's last words. He couldn't believe his ears. Hermione never liked Viktor as more than just a friend, but moreover she liked him!
"Oh, Hermione," Ron said grinning and putting his arms around her once more. Hermione leaned into his shoulders and smiled to herself. They sat in silence as Ron was still taking in all the words Hermione had just said.
"Ron?" Hermione said suddenly breaking the silence and looking up at Ron.
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you, too 'Mione." They both stared at each other and then, very slowly they began to lean their heads forward. When their lips met warmth and happiness spread throughout their bodies stretching to the tips of their fingers. It was nothing like they expected it to be, it felt like they were both floating among the clouds. Finally they drew back. Hermione sighed deeply before resting her head on Ron's shoulder once more.
"Hermione?" Ron said pulling her closer. "Will you go out with me?"
"I though you'd never ask," she replied dreamily. Then the portrait hole opened once more and Harry climbed through looking around for Ron and Hermione. When he spotted them, he quickly walked over.
"Well, Dumbledore is heading down to the forest right now with a couple of teachers," Harry informed them sitting on Ron's other side.
"That's great!" Hermione replied cheerfully. Ron nodded his head in accord.
"Yeah," Harry said, "So… what's with you two?" he asked eyeing Ron's arm around Hermione and their sudden cheerfulness.
"Oh… Ron and I are going out," Hermione answered happily smiling at Ron. Harry stared at his to best friends.
"Well it's about bloody time!" he said grinning. They all laughed heartily. "Well, I think I'll leave you two alone for now," Harry said getting up from the couch.
"Thanks, Harry," Hermione said smiling at Ron again.
"Yeah thanks, mate," Ron responded beaming at Hermione.
"Don't mention it," Harry replied walking over to where Ginny was, reading a book in front of the fire.
"Hi, Harry," she said looking up from her book to see him sit down on the armchair opposite of her. "What brings you over here?"
"Well, Ron and Hermione are finally together!" he said.
"Really? That's wonderful!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Yeah, I know but, they were getting all lovey-dovey so I decided to come over here… to give them a little privacy." Ginny started to giggle.
"Well, one day you'll get to experience the same thing," Ginny said quietly as she winked at Harry. He stared at her for a few moments his eyes widening a little, before they both burst out laughing. After they had stopped, Harry and Ginny kicked back to watch Ron and Hermione snog through the night.
