Chapter 9
". . . Don't leave me now . . ."
*Ron rolled over and saw Hermione lying beside him. She looked beautiful, like she always did. He had leaned down to kiss her when she opened her eyes and said "Come on, Ron, move your ass."
"What?" asked Ron, puzzled. She had never spoken to him like that before.
"I said it's time to get up!" Ron felt a splash of water on his face and jumped awake. It had been a dream. She'd been a dream. Again.
"Come on, Ron, we'll be late for training," said Harry. He and Ron had moved in together after graduation and were going through Auror training.
In the two years since Hermione had gone, Ron had thought and dreamed about her more times than he could count. They had written letters, of course, but hers were always dry and friendly, addressed to 'Harry and Ron,' and his were equally friendly, signed 'Love Ron and Harry.'
*Don't leave me now*
Ron did his best to shrug off the sorrow, just like he did every day, but today it hung around him like an autumn fog. It distracted him.
"Weasley!" shouted his trainer. "Go home. Any more of your antics and someone's going to get killed! What's with you lately anyway?"
Ron mumbled something about not sleeping well and went home. When he got there, the last person he ever expected was in his living room.
"Her – Hermione?"
"Hello, Ron," she said. "Did you miss me?"
*Don't leave me now*
A/N: I know, it was really short, but that's all my muse could come up with. Well, she came up with more, but I wanted to leave a cliffy here. Evil, right? Review please! The next chapter or the one after should be the last chapter. Hope you like how this has gone so far!
