Hello! Wow, the last chapter already! I just want to thank everyone
for reading! When I first started this story I didn't think I'd make over
two or three reviews because I had posted three chapters, and only gotten
one review. By the way, thanks so much to Dark Cow! If you hadn't reviewed
I might not have continued. Well, I'm going to stick the Michelle Branch cd
in, and start writing! Here it goes!
Ginny and Harry sat together on the couch still thinking over the tragedy that had happened between their two best friends. Tears still filled Ginny's eyes; Harry stared into space, his eyes saying what his mouth was not. A desperate silence filled the air as they tried to accept the fact that things would change and there was nothing they could do about it.
There was a loud crack and a blurry figure with a red head appeared in front of Ginny. She wiped her eyes so she could see clearly. It was Ron! "Where is she?" he said in an exasperated voice.
"Ron!" Ginny sat up in complete shock that he was there.
"Where's Hermione?" asked Ron again, this time looking to Harry. He wasn't sure what Ron wanted with her. "I need to talk to her. Well, where is she?" Harry could see by the look on Ron's face, and in his eyes that he had realized his mistake.
"She's down at the Cedar apartment complex to sign a two year contract for her apartment. She left five to ten minutes ago, if you get their quickly you still might have time." Said Harry quickly.
"Thanks mate, I owe you." There was a loud crack and Ron disappeared. Ginny looked over at Harry with a look of hope. I smiled slowly played across her.
"Cedar apartment complex? Sounds familiar. Damn, it would have helped if I had asked where it was!" Ron didn't have time to walk through the muggle world to try to figure it out. Every step he took reduced his chances of getting there in time. He tried to think back at all of the apartments he and Hermione had looked at. "Cedar apartments... Cedar apartments..." Bingo! He remembered it! He only had a faint sketch of it in his mind and it would be dangerous to try to apparate there.
"Damn it!" he yelled. What was he going to do? He tried to envision the hallway. He had no choice. He was going to have to try to apparate, even though he wasn't entirely sure he had the right apartment complex. He closed his eyes, and began to concentrate.
Within an instant he was on a long brownish hallway. Now where to go? He heard a door open down the hall. His head shot over that direction. Could that be here? No, it was only a resident. A resident? They'd know where to go! "Excuse me! Excuse me, sir." He said running over to the man. "Where can I speak to the owner of these apartments?"
"Well you're suppose to call first and—"
"Please sir, it's an emergency. My wife's about to sign a contract to stay here and I'll loose her forever. Please, just tell me where I can find the
owner."
Ron looked at the man, pleading with his eyes. Slowly the man nodded. "He won't be in his room, he'll be in the main office. That's straight down the hall, then take a left and it's the third door on the right."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Ron began to run down the hall.
"Good luck!" shouted the man.
"Now if you'll just sign here, we'll be done and you can move in today if you like." Hermione nodded taking the pen from the man's hand. Slowly she set the pen to the paper. "Just sign on the line." She nodded again. This was it. If she signed this, she and Ron were officially over. Her eyes began to water; she began to blink quickly so the man wouldn't notice. "Is something wrong?"
Damn, he noticed. "Oh, no, it's just," Why was she telling this strange man her problems? "I'm fine."
"If you say so." He replied. Ok, Hermione. This is it. Just sign the line. Sign the like. Please sign the line. It's not that hard you just need to move the pen, that's all. Come on, you want this. You need to move on with your life. It's over with you and Ron; just accept that. Now please, just move the pen. Slowly she began the left side of the H in her name. She looped up, and then brought the pen down and did the same on the other side. Then she crossed the H. She looked up at the man's fake smile, nervously. See that wasn't so bad, was it? Now you only have the rest of your name to go. Slowly she began to work on the e.
Just then, someone burst into the room. "Who are you?" said the owner of the building. Hermione didn't even want to look back.
"Don't do it, 'Mione. Don't do it." Oh my gosh. Thought Hermione. Slowly she turned around to see Ron.
"What do you want?" she said.
"Hermione, I need to talk to you. I was wrong, I—"
"I am trying to sign something here, will you please leave?"
"Hermione—"
"Well, I have something to go check on, I'll—err—be right back." Said the owner of the apartment complex as he walked out of the room.
"Ron, please leave."
"No, I need to—"
"Leave!"
"Not until you hear what I have to say."
Hermione stood in front of the chair, glaring up at him. She did not want to hear what he had to say. "Fine. What?"
"Hermione, this is all my fault. I wasn't the husband I should have been. I never did anything for you, when I should have been doing everything. I'm surprised you stayed with me as long as you did, and I understand if you still want to leave. I don't deserve you, but despite what you may think, I still love you 'Mione. I really do."
Hermione could do nothing but look him in the eyes. She couldn't speak, or breathe, or—or anything. Tears began to roll down her face; she stood there crying. Gosh, what should she do? Ron moved closer to her as she kept crying. She stood there, inches from him. Then in one quick movement she through her arms around him. "Don't cry." He said, but she couldn't stop.
"I love you too, Ron. I love you too."
And there it is! I hope you all like it! Please review and tell me what you think! Also, I've written, or am in the process of writing, several other R/H fanfics and I'd really appreciate it if you took a look at them. And trust me, they aren't as depressing as this. Haha! Well, and now to copy Ryan Seacrest, Mist Emoun Tains out!
