I Really Don't Think So
By: Scene 23 Why does everything have to be a love thing
Think of all the sorrows that love brings
Is it where you really wanna go
No, I really don't think so
You know that I don't back
You doin' what you want without you
Letting me know what you do
So I can do it too
We've been so together
And if there were ever
Reason to change it
I'm sure we could arrange it baby
Something's wrong if you really think that
You're the one to get away with it
I know what you're thinkin'
It's startin' to sink in
Why?
Why does everything gotta to be a love thing
Think of all the sorrows that love brings
Is it where you really wanna go
No, I really don't think so
Why does everything gotta be a love thing
Why can't we dig each other and just hang
Is it where you really wanna go
No, I really don't think so........
Chapter 9- Getting Her Back
Ron stood up, his eyes filled with anticipation. He apparated quickly to Harry and Ginny's house, hoping that he could find Hermione there. Ron looked frantically around the kitchen and spotted Harry, in his boxers, eating at the table.
"Ron," Harry looked up, "what's the matter mate?"
"It's Hermione," Ron said, taking a deep breath, "she left."
Harry coughed as he choked on his food. "What? Why? What happened? What did you do?" He stood abruptly, bombarding Ron with questions.
"I didn't do anything!" Ron stated defensively. "It was my mum and my aunts!"
"Your mum and your aunts?" Harry raised his eyebrow. "How? What did they do?"
"I have no clue." Ron replied. "I came home and Hermione was...different. She wasn't acting like herself and she was saying how everything was going wrong. She mentioned something about my mum and aunts......but other than that......" Ron looked down, trying to hold back more tears.
Harry walked over to Ron and embraced him. "It's okay mate. We'll find her. I promise. Everything will be okay."
Ron nodded in response as they pulled away. "We should get started."
"Right!" Harry nodded. He grabbed his wand preparing to apparate. "Where to first?"
"Um....maybe you should change....." Ron said looking at him.
Harry looked down. "Right, be right back!" Harry dashed to his bedroom as Ron sat down to think. * * *
Ron and Harry appeared in the burrow. "Mum! Mum! Where the hell is that woman?!"
"Mrs. Weasley!" Harry looked around, turning in small circles. "Mrs. Weasley! Where are you?"
"I'm right here dear! No need to yell!" Mrs. Weasley said making Harry and Ron jump.
"Mum, I need to know where Hermione is," Ron began, walking over to the rocking chair where his mother was sitting, "it's important."
"I don't know where she is dear." She said, continuing to knit. "Why? What did you do now?"
He stood frustrated as Harry leaned against the wall. "I didn't do anything! It's your fault!"
Molly stood, her eyes wide in shock. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me! It's because of you, Aunt Karma, and Aunt Cythendra that Hermione is missing!"
Molly walked over to Ron. "How dare you! How dare you accuse me of something that I never did!"
"You did do it!" Ron exclaimed, his face turning red. "You drove her away from me with all of this wedding nonsense! She had no say, did she?"
"Well.....I wouldn't say that...."
"Did she?!"
"No Ron! Not entirely, but that wasn't my fault!"
He took a step closer. "Then whose was it?"
Molly became speechless. She stood rooted to the spot, staring at her son. "I don't know where she is, and I apologize for becoming too controlling. But, I don't see how I can help you with finding her when you're acting in such a foolish way."
"You can stay here and keep a look out for here." Harry said speaking up.
Ron looked down at his mother. She nodded, and Ron looked back to Harry. "Now where do we look?"
"Mate, think about it. Where does Hermione always go to get away from it all?" Harry stared at Ron as he began to smile. He walked over to him, and gave him an encouraging smile. "Go and get her mate." * * *
Ron opened his eyes, and stared around the dark and gloomy halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He smiled, reminiscing about the great times that he had here with Harry and Hermione. Why hadn't he thought of it before? Hermione always found comfort in the library. It was her escape, but she couldn't seem to get away from Harry and him. They had always looked there first when she had gone missing after a bad day.
Ron began walking down the halls and he felt like he was at home. The warm feeling that came from the cold walls seemed to lighten his heart, and he couldn't help thinking that every time he came back he never wanted to leave.
He laughed at himself, remembering all the stupid things that he had done. He remembered going into the forbidden corridor in his first year, and when Mrs. Norris had been found petrified in his second. However, he never could forget the bad times he had in his school years at Hogwarts. Ron could never forget the fourth year Yule Ball when Hermione had come with slime ball Viktor Krum. Ron gritted his teeth and turned his hand into a fist at the mere thought of Viktor. That all went away when he approached the dimly lit library.
He crept in, looking around in search of Hermione. He sighed in relief as she became visible. Sitting at a small table, she was reading Hogwarts A History with a candle burning beside her. He walked over to her. "Haven't you read that book enough yet?"
Hermione's eyes left the pages of the book, and she slowly lifted her head up. "Yes, but it brings back old school memories."
Ron sat down across from her. "Doesn't being here just bring back the memories? It does for me. I remember every cold draft, every floor creak, every water drip..."
"Yes, but I just remember reading this book and out-smarting Harry and you with all the knowledge I gained from it."
Ron chuckled. "Hermione, you out-smarted everyone."
She smiled. "I know, but being here just...makes me happy. I can't describe it. It's kind of like you and your quidditch. You just like it."
He leaned back in his chair. "Can't argue with that."
"So what are you doing here anyway?"
"Looking for you, and I succeed."
"I'm surprised you knew where to find me. I thought you didn't know where the library was, or what one was actually."
"How can you say that?" Ron said seriously. "Don't you remember all of the 'study sessions' we had in this spacious room?"
"Oh God!" Hermione said putting her head in her hands. "How did I know that you were going to say that?"
We're meant for each other. People like us just know."
She looked at him. "People like us?"
"Soul mates. People that are meant to be." Ron said a-matter-of-factly.
"You believe in soul mates Ron?" Hermione inquired.
"I didn't until I met you." Ron replied, making Hermione smile and blush. "You made my heart skip a beat every time I saw you. I loved you since the first time I saw you Hermione Granger. I just knew that we were meant for each other, and I still think that. I'm not going to let you go because of my screwed up family."
"Ron....." Hermione began.
He got out of the chair and kneeled down beside her. "Please Hermione. I love you, say that you'll still marry me."
"I love you too..."Hermione said as he caressed her face. "I mean I will marry you."
Ron smiled, "I love you so much right now. I swear that I will never hurt you or do you wrong. I swear that to you."
"I'm glad to hear that Ronald Weasley." Hermione bent down and her lips met with Ron's as they indulged in a passionate kiss.

Supergirl036996- How fast do you want me to update!? I can't go really quickly because I still have homework and projects and I still have other stories to write, and I just got into poetry. So I'm sorry that you think that I'm updating to slow for you, but I can't go really fast. And I tried to write everything as clearly as possible so no one could get confused. Please tell me what you're confused with. Don't you know of wedding jitters? Of getting nervous? Stuff like that......
Prodigy Girl- Thanks for reading! And I'm glad that you like the story.
