Chapter 3: Fighting with Reason
Hermione sat in the Bride's room. No one else was there the dress rehearsal
didn't start for another hour. She couldn't think about anything or anybody
but Ron. She loved him. It didn't slip by accident, she meant it. Why did
he have to be such an idiot? All he needed was one reason to get her out of
this mess. "He doesn't love me!" She said quietly.
"Then why are you marrying him!"
"Oh God!" She jumped and turned around. A tall red head man stood in the
door way. He could only gaze at her. "Ron, you scared me." She finished as
she caught her breath.
"Sorry. I didn't mean too! I mean I wanted to talk to you and see you. But
I didn't want to scare you." He seemed nervous. Hermione had no idea why.
"No, its ok. I was...uh...just thinking about something." She couldn't look at
him she stood with her hands on a chair.
"Yeah, nervous bride should get a couple of moments to herself."
"Yeah, I guess."
They seemed distant not only because they were on opposite sides of the
room but their tone of voice. Both seemed awkward and formal, which never
happened in their relationship (unless you count their fight in fourth
year).
"What are you doing here?" Hermione said trying to break the silence.
"The rehearsal," Ron replied confused.
"No, I know that but that doesn't start for an hour."
"Well, I already said, I needed to talk to you."
"Oh, right."
"Yeah." Silence followed Ron's word.
"So...uh...what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Oh, well see it's about...um...you?"
"What about me?"
"Hermione, you can't possible go through with this wedding."
"What?!" Hermione couldn't believe that she actually thought Ron was going
to tell her that he loved her. That was the final straw. Hermione's heart
gave up. At least Tom didn't hurt her as much as Ron did.
"You heard me." Ron said trying to stay calm.
"Ron, do you really want to start this again?"
"YES! If starting this stops you from marrying HIM then I'm bloody well
starting this!"
"No, I finished this fight. You can't start it up again once someone
finished it!"
"YES, YOU CAN!"
"NO, YOU CAN'T"
"Did you know that one in every three marriages end in divorce?"
"WHAT!" Now she was pissed. He was recalling the same argument they had
only a few days ago, the one that proved he didn't love her. The man she
loved was hurting her more then he would ever know.
"THAT'S IT! YOU WANTED TO TALK TO ME TO TELL ME THAT!! RON I DON'T HAVE
TIME FOR THIS!" She yelled and started to leave.
"Hermione that's not it. I wanted to say something else but that came out.
Look I finally figured out a reason! I"
"I DON'T CARE!" Hermione cut him off. "NO MORE REASONS! THE DEAL'S OFF! I
DON'T KNOW WHY WE MADE A DEAL IN THE FIRST PLACE!!"
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Ron bellowed.
"YES, I CAN! In fact I think I JUST DID!" Hermione said back with a lot of
attitude.
"BUT I HAVE A REASON!" Ron tried to argue so she would hear him out.
"I DON'T CARE! I'M GETTING MARRIED TO TOM! HE WILL MAKE ME HAPPY, NOT
CRAZY, HAPPY! HE TREATS ME WELL! THAT'S MORE REASONS THEN I NEED! Look I
want you to be part of the wedding but you BETTER NOT mess it up!" Tears
were running down her face as she screamed at him. Ron did this to her. And
he hated himself for it.
"Hermione please. I'M SORRY! FOR EVERYTHING! Don't you get why I did all
that?! Hermione please don't go!" Ron pleaded with her. She was still
leaving. He held out a closed fist, an object was clenched in it." HERMIONE
I LOVE YOU!"
"DON'T DO THIS! I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE! YOU WILL SAY ANYTHING TO STOP ME
FROM MARRYING! BUT I'M SO SICK AND TIRED OF ALL YOUR BULL SHIT!" She broke
down and left the room. She didn't want Ron to hurt her any more. She did
not realize he was being sincere.
He lowered his head ashamed how poor and stupid he was. And opened his hand
to reveal a wooden ring carved from the Whomping Willow, with an
inscription on it.
