Chapter Ten: Hermione's Return
*
"Hermione is that really you?" Harry asked.
"Yes Harry it's me." Hermione said as she looked around. "God, it's good to be back. We had some good times here didn't we?"
"But you died. How can you still be alive?" Fred asked as he stood up.
"I can answer that." They turned to see Nebride walk forward. "All of you thought she was dead because you could not find a pulse. Unknowingly to you I used my inner powers to check. What I found astounded me. There was a pulse, but it was very small. At that instant I took her to Middle Earth to help heal her. When I was done doing all I could do my powers were greatly diminished. I had to rest for weeks." Nebride stopped to take a breath then continued, "Hermione was in a coma like state for about a year, and after that she could not remember who she was." Suddenly Nebride stopped and jerked her head towards the closed door. She closed her eyes and cocked her head. She smiled and said, "We have another guest."
Then the doors opened and Gandalf walked in. "Nebride I have excellent news. He finally remembers everything. We were sitting there eating when he knocked over his glass and jumped up."
"Well where is he?" she asked.
"Come on in my boy."
A man with red hair and freckles walked in.
"Ron!?" Fred, George and Ginny exclaimed. They jumped up and rushed over to him. He almost fell over when their combined weight landed on him. He pushed them away and looked at Harry who was walking towards him.
"Well mate, looks like you did a fine job looking after yourself in my absence." Ron said as he grinned.
Without a word Harry come up and gave him a bear hug.
"You know it's all thanks to Nebride that we actually lived at all." Ron said. They all turned to look at her but she was gone.
"Hey where'd she go?" Fred asked.
Suddenly there was a loud popping sound and Nebride appeared with Molly, Arthur, Charlie, Percy, and Bill who all had landed on their butts.
Charlie stood up, dusted himself off and said, "So what was so important that you had to drag us up here so fast Nebride?" She motioned silently behind them and they all turned around. They stopped, their mouths hanging open.
Then Molly said quietly, "Ronald, Hermione, is that really you?"
"Yes Mum, it's us." Ron said.
"Oh my boy! You're alive!" She said as she ran to him and hugged him. Suddenly she turned on Nebride and said, "You knew all this time that they were alive, and you didn't tell us?"
Nebride's eyes narrowed and she said coldly, "They were in a coma for a year and after that they had amnesia. I didn't want to put all of you through that agony of not knowing if they would ever be themselves." She looked around at them.
"You know Mum I think Alex, I mean Nebride, did the right thing. I wouldn't want to put you guys through that agony of not knowing." Ron said as he flipped his hair out of his eyes.
"Yes Mrs. Weasley, I also think she did the right thing."
Molly turned to stare at Hermione. She sighed and said, "I suppose the both of you are right." She turned to Nebride and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really glad you did what you did. At least now I know I have my son back, not someone who looks like him and knows nothing about himself."
Nebride just nodded her head and said, "Come on Gandalf. Selena is probably wondering where we are. It is time for her lessons." Then Nebride and Gandalf disappeared with a popping noise.
"Well that went rather well." Bill sighed.
"Harry, mate, how about you, me and Hermione go for a walk and catch up?" Ron asked.
"Ron, I really think you should stay here and catch up with your family." Molly said.
"Come on Mum, I'll get to see you more than I'll get to see him and Hermione." Ron said.
"Yes, I think we should go for a walk." Hermione broke in. Ron and Molly turned around abruptly.
"Come on let's go." Harry said as he grabbed Ron and Hermione and pulled them through the doors. "Harry wait!" Harry turned to see Ginny running towards them. "Can I speak with you for a moment?" Harry turned to Ron and Hermione and said, "Wait here for a moment."
He walked over to her and said, "What is it Ginny?"
"WelI was thinking, since you, me, Ron and Hermione are so close, maybe we should tell them about us." Ginny said as she looked up at him.
Harry just stared at her for a moment then sighed, "Okay, come with us then." He turned around and walked back to Ron and Hermione.
"Ginny would you go away. We kind of wanted to talk alone." Ron said.
"Lighten up Ron, we have something to tell you and Hermione, so Ginny's coming with us." Harry said.
"Okay mate, you don't have to get all shirty with me." Ron said as he followed Harry and Ginny out to the Quidditch field.
As they sat down Harry said, "So what was it like over at Nebride's place? Nobody really knows where she lives with Aragorn. In fact I think only Dumbledore knows."
"Yeah he won't tell anybody where she lives." Ginny added.
"Well she lives in this large castle, it's even bigger than Hogwarts. The castle is on lushes green pastures and they have tons of horses and wild flowers. They have many servants, but I came to notice that Nebride doesn't ask much of them. When she wants something done she does it herself. And around their castle there is a small village where people walk around joyously. Sometimes Nebride walks among them with her daughter, and sometimes Nebride goes out with Gandalf and Selena to practice Selena's t
"Yes, but did she ever say what part of the country they were in?" Harry asked excitedly.
"She said that it is not part of this country. It is like a whole new world. She called it Middle Earth." Hermione said.
"You know what's funny? The things people say about you when they think you can not hear them." A voice said from above them.
They looked up quickly and saw Nebride looking down at them. Harry and Ginny jumped up as fast as they could. Ron and Hermione, who were used to this kind of thing, just sat there quietly.
Nebride landed lightly on her feet and said, "I just wanted to see how you were doing, and I came to give Ron and Hermione something." She handed them each a small vile. "Drink this for the last time and you should not suffer a relapse. If, later on, you feel like your forgetting too many things ask Dumbledore to contact me and I'll be here as fast as I can." They stared at her blankly and she smiled and disappeared.
"So what did the two of you want to tell us?" Hermione asked.
"Well Harry and I have decided to 'go out' as people put it. You know, boyfriend and girlfriend." Ginny said.
They just stared at them for a moment then they both said, "Well congratulations."
"Yes, I'm really happy for you." Hermione said as she hugged Ginny.
"You better take good care of her mate, or I just might have to hurt you." Ron said as he grinned at Harry.
"Don't worry Ron; I'll take very good care of her. Just promise you won't tell anyone." Harry said.
"Hey mate, you don't have to worry about me. Remember how many secrets I kept for you when we were in school?"
"Come on boys, we're going to go back. I want you two to meet Hermione, Matt and Ron; they are after all your niece and nephews Ron." Ginny said.
"We have people named after us?" Ron asked stupidly.
"Yes you do." Ginny said as she led a stunned Hermione back to the castle.
"Come on Ron." Harry laughed as he slapped him on the shoulder and walked off to the castle. Ron followed after him, mouth still slightly open.
