The Truth
A/N Had to start it. Couldn't help myself. Thx 4 reviewing!
~*~*~
Hermione woke up suddenly. It was late at night still, and she felt very dizzy. In an instant, she got up and walked out onto the balcony, without a single control over herself. Then she climbed on the bars that seperated the cement from the air. Slowly, she leaned forward. . . . . . .
Before anything happened, Ron pulled her back, waking her up. They landed on the cold, hard ground.
"What happened?" she asked, rubbing her head.
"I dunno, you just got up and went out here," Ron said, still holding her around the waist. "Are you alright?"
"Y-yeah.." Hermione said, but then sighed. "Actually..no..I'm not. I need to tell you something."
"Go ahead, then," Ron said.
"Remember what I told you about my fear of heights?" she asked him, and he nodded. "That's not the entire truth. Around that age, my dad started drinking late at night at these bars, and came home all drunk. Well, one evening, I was in my room, sleeping and I heard him pull up in the driveway. My mum was out working late that night. I slowly walked to the edge of the stairs and saw him stumble in. Not knowing any better, I asked if he were alright, and he told me to 'shut the fuck up'. Being drunk and all, dad said it was my fault that he was like this, and that he wished I wasn't born. He started swearing at me, and saying I was a mistake; that's when I cried. My dad came up the stairs and called me weak and stupid, then he pushed me down the stairs." She took a breath, paused, then continued.
"When I hit the first step, I fainted, but when I woke up, it was day time, and my parents were coming downstairs. They screamed at the sight of me, and called the hospital; dad didn't remember the night before, and I guess mum didn't see me when she got in that night. After they put stitches on my head and put a cast on me, I had no choice but to tell them what exactly happened. They called themselves horrible parents, and were repeatedly saying sorry. Then dad promised to never drink again, or at least too much. It was a lie, though. I've never hated heights until then," Hermione said while tears stung her eyes. Ron sat there in complete shock and anger. How could anyone treat their own child like that? Not just any child, but Hermione. He never thought that behind her smart, prettyness
"It's ok Hermione, it's ok," Ron whispered to her, stroking her hair softly. She tried not to cry, but once in a while tears fell from her eyes. "You're not a mistake; you never will be.
"That's not all, though," Hermione said through her crying. "I'm not sure I should say."
"You can tell me. I won't tell anyone, if you want, " Ron said to her, and she took a shaky deep breath and started to continue.
"Well, four years after that night, my dad called me to the living room while mum was at the store. He told me that he was a wizard, and was mostly a pureblood. I was all excited and in disbelief, but then he said he hated it. He wished he wasn't a wizard, and he never told any muggles but my mum. I didn't know what was going to happen next, but I knew he was drunk yet again. Then he told me that I was most likely going to be a witch, but, since he hated magic, he put a spell on me." She looked at Ron, who seemed a bit confused.
"If he hated magic, why'd he use it on you? And *what* did he use on you?" he asked.
"That's what I thought when he said he was going to cast a spell, the Comenter Suvyear spell, but then I knew why once he did it. It was a spell that caused me to do hottible things a couple of times a year. Things that could kill me. I was a witch, and he didn't like it," Hermione said, sniffing a couple of times. Ron got tears in his own eyes, and he wanted so badly to kiss her pain away. He couldn't, though. She didn't love him the way he loved her. They didn't move all night, falling asleep in eachother's arms.

Harry woke up, facing Ginny, who was staring back. Both blushed and turned on their backs, then got up.
"Where's Ron and Hermione?" Ginny asked, looking around the room.
"I dunno," Harry replied, feeling a bit worried. Knowing Ron, he could be hurt somewhere, but Hermione gone aswell? Maybe they're together..Ginny then sighed in relief.
"There they are," she said, pointing at the balcony. Ron had his arms around Hermione's stomach. "Awww."
"I need details," Harry said, smiling. Just then, both Ron and Hermione woke up, noticing they had an audience. Soon enough, they pulled apart.
"Long story," Hermione said, after taking a look at Harry and Ginny, who were smiling. 'Bet it was,' Harry thought, and they went back in, closing the door. Neither Ron nor Hermione looked each other in the eyes for a couple of hours after they woke up. She remembered telling him everything about her dad, and she didn't regret one thing. Being open to him was important..she might lose him forever one day. But today was the day they went exploring. Just Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, so, soon enough they were ready and leaving the hotel. The other Weasleys were going to stay there for just a while longer. It was a warm, sunny day, and a lot of people were out.The first place they were headed off to was the park, since it was closer than anything else,
"It's so beautiful!" Hermione said, as they all sat on a bench. There were a couple of guys around their age playing basketball not far from them. One of guys looked over at Hermione and smiled. Ron felt his face turn red in anger, but tried to hide it, but Harry noticed.
"Why don't we just walk around a bit," he said, and they agreed. He was determined to get Ron and Hermione together. And Ginny..no, he couldn't be falling for her..could he? Ginny was thinking the same thing aswell..they'd just have to wait. When they got back to the hotel, it was starting to get dark, and they were the only ones there. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Fred and George were still out, but when they got back, they had great news.
"Tomorrow is this party, where they'll be having food, drinks, and dancing," Mrs. Weasley said, and everyone got very excited.
"What time?" Ron asked.
"It starts at 6:00 P.M," she answered, and they all got ready for bed.
"Ohh, I can't WAIT for tomorrow," Ginny squeeled.
"Me, too! It'll sure be a lot of fun," Hermione replied. Neither Harry nor Ron said anything, but they were excited as much as the girls were. 'Tomorrow,' Harry thought, 'is the say that I get Hermione and Ron together..like they should be,' and he fell asleep. Ron, though, was thinking about the guy at the park, and he was also thinking:
"The beginning Of All Things To End? or The End Of All Things To Come?"
He sighed and fell asleep. Hermione, though, was still awake. 'That guy at the park..he seemed interested..but I love Ron, even if he doesn't love me..' she thought, and looked over at him. He was sleeping on his stomach, with his head turned on the pillow. She wished that she could wake up next to him..but that might never happen..and tomorrow..will those boys be there? What would Ron do? So many things to think of..and after a while of lying awake, she fell asleep.
