Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Here's the 7th chapter hope you enjoy it.
Over the next few weeks, near the middle of February, Harry and Cho stayed busy very busy. But not on their wedding just for their dreaded exams. They both decided they didn't want to marry during the school year. Harry and Cho had a plan to marry after they graduated at the least. Plus, over the last few weeks they have never seen Samantha and Ron had never been anymore happier in their relationship. Once they would get out of Hogwarts Samantha and Ron planned to work in the ministry for a while and than pursue dreams of working on an all-star Quidditch team for England. Harry, Ron, and Samantha were going to head off to see Sirius for some pointers on what it's like outside of the Hogwarts world. Cho decided to stay at Hogwarts to study extra hard for her exams.
"Tell Sirius I said hello and well I guess I'll see you tonight." Cho said.
"I really wish you'd reconsider and come with me. I'd love for him to meet my beautiful fiancee'" Harry said grinning.
"Sirius already knows what I look like what would be the difference?" Cho said as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
"You'd be coming in as my fiancee' not my girlfriend." Harry replied grinning.
"It's tempting. But I have to pass my wonderful future husband-to-be cause this witch has to study. I'm sorry." Cho said as she pouted jokingly to prove her point that she really did want to go but she couldn't.
"Alright fine you win. You better pass the exams. I wanted to show off my future wife today." Harry said sarcastically.
"You will in time. Love you darling." Cho said laughing as she kissed him.
"I love you too. See you in a bit." Harry said.
Harry got one more kiss in which Cho drew in passionately. She smiled when they got out of the kiss.
"That should keep you for the day." Cho said grinning.
Harry left almost dumbstruck. This made Cho laugh and just smile broadly about it. A lot of things had changed between Harry and Cho. And by a lot, it was more than they ever could have imagined, with their bodies, minds, and souls. Cho proceeded to head for the library to study for her final year exams. She tied her hair up in a loose bun and every time she saw a new guy who she had never seen before trying to check her out, she walked by them showing off the engagement ring Harry gave her, which gave them disappointment. It gave Cho a new sense of power. With just one look at the ring it was already spoken for that she was Harry's. She smiled at the idea. She was going to be Harry's and for life. Cho sat down at one of the tables and concentrated on one of the lessons for potions class. But something distracted her. She almost felt like she had a pit in her stomach somehow. She shook her head and continued to study. But soon she heard whimpers and cries coming from the second floor corridor. At first she didn't let it bug her but soon she heard two cries. Cho got up from her seat and walked to the out to see what the sound was. She walked over to the second floor corridor following the sounds as it got louder. Soon she heard it coming from the Out of Order Gurl's Lavitory. She opened the door and was shocked to find the Ghost of Moaning Myrtle hovering over a very distraught Hermione. This time Hermione looked like she normally did, with her beautiful brown hair and fair figure, but she was drained.
"Hermione? Hermione are you ok? Hermione?" Cho said as she shook Hermione slightly.
"Leave me to my pain Cho! He played me for a fool." Hermione cried.
"Hehehehe, finally someone who knows my pain!" Moaning Myrtle exclaimed.
"Myrtle shut it." Hermione cried exasperated.
"Hermione.what happened?" Cho asked.
"He took it Cho." Hermione cried softly.
"What? Who? Wait...no…Hermione no that can't be genetically possible. That baby should've protected itself." Cho said.
"It didn't ok! See?" Hermione said as she lifted up her cloak to reveal a flat stomach. "He took my baby Cho. He took our baby. And he left me like I was nothing."
"Hermione, come on we have to take you to the Hospital Wing. You look so drained. And if he took that baby he could've hurt you more than emotionally." Cho said as she helped her up.
"Where did I go wrong Cho? I thought he really did sincerely love me. He told me that everyday." Hermione cried as she walked along side with Cho towards the hospital wing.
"No man can love if he actually has the heart to deprive a mother from her unborn child." Cho said noticing Hermione had definete changed.
"It's just so different now Cho. I feel so empty. I don't feel the power that I used to feel." Hermione said as they entered in the hospital wing.
"That power is not the power the real Hermione would have." Cho said as she sat her down. "Listen to me Hermione. You are stronger than this ok? The Hermione I used to know would not let a git like Draco Malfoy get to her. And after what he's done he cannot deprive you any longer. I'll help you."
"Thank you Cho. Just thank you so much for being able to put up with me. You really are so kind. Even after all of the horrible mistakes I've done you've always been there to support it." Hermione said.
"I can't stay mad at one of the best friends of Harry Potter. That can never happen at all." Cho said. "Look I'm going to go get Madame Pomfrey to run some tests for you ok?"
Hermione nodded. Cho walked over to Madame Pomfrey's office almost losing her stability again. She took a couple of seconds to contain herself and started off again. Madame Pomfrey was sitting in her office going over some medical records of the new first years in the upcoming year. Cho knocked on her door.
"Madame Pomfrey? Do you have a couple of minutes to spare?" Cho asked as she peered in.
"Well of course Cho. Oh dear, Cho you're looking rather meek!" Madame Pomfrey said as she got up, with her glasses at the bridge of her nose.
"I didn't come here for myself. I came here with Hermione. We need you to do a couple of tests on her." Cho said as she walked with Madame Pomfrey.
"Oh dear, is her baby alright?" Madame Pomfrey asked.
"Actually, we need you to run some tests to make sure she's fine from the deprivation of her baby. She doesn't have it anymore." Cho replied softly.
"She had a miscarriage?!" Madame Pomfrey exclaimed quietly.
"Not exactly. Listen, all I can say is Hermione was deprived of her maternal rights. We just want to make sure she's fine. She's really pale and looks like she can't lift a single muscle. She may seem as though she's hurt rather emotionally but I'm hoping who ever had done this to her didn't do anything to damage her physically." Cho said lying slightly since she knew who had done it.
"Well what about you dear? Do you want any tests done to see what you're coming down to? Just to be careful it doesn't get too serious?" Madame Pomfrey asked.
"I guess so. I wouldn't want it to get really bad that I'd have to end up in the hospital wing again." Cho replied.
Madame Pomfrey nodded and took out her wand to run as many tests as she could think of for a young witch who was deprived of her maternal instincts. Cho saw many blends of light coming out of Madame Pomfrey's wand. Hermione just wanted it all to end. After about a half an hour later Madame Pomfrey told Hermione that she was suffering from some internal damages but it could be fixed.
"Hermione dear, you just have to tell us what evil bloke did this to you. And once we find out who did this to you we can press charges against him in front of the ministry." Madame Pomfrey said soothingly as she did one more test on Hermione.
"I-I-I-I'm not so sure if I can s-s-spare the d-d-details n-now Madame Pomfrey. B-but I promise I-I will t-t-tell." Hermione said stuttering.
"Here you go dear. Drink this tonic and you'll be resting for the next two days straight. With it your system will heal to it's natural state. Go on." Madame Pomfrey said as she handed her the tonic.
"Thank you." Hermione said as she took it. She looked at Cho. "And Cho, thank you as well."
Hermione drank the tonic and instantly fell into a deep sleep. Cho coughed a little bit suddenly getting a slight migraine and feeling sick to her stomach. Madame Pomfrey looked at her worried.
"Have you spoken to Potter about your conditions?" Madame Pomfrey asked as she started to do tests on Cho.
"We both thought that it was nothing. We just thought it was wedding jitters. But my dizziness, migraines, and nauseous state is coming back." Cho replied.
"Ah, the wedding jitters. I remember now you and Potter are getting married." Madame Pomfrey said smiling. "I wish you both the best."
"Thank you." Cho said smiling slightly.
"Cho, I don't want to alarm you but I will need to take one final test before everything's done." Madame Pomfrey said.
"What is it? What's happening to me?" Cho asked worried.
"There's nothing to worry about dear. Please I just want to take one more, minor test. So just lie back and relax." Madame Pomfrey replied.
Cho laid down on her back. Madame Pomfrey hovered her wand over Cho's stomach and a pink light shown through. It started to turn blue but than pink again but than it had changed once more. Madame Pomfrey got some of the light particles into a tube.
"I'm going to use this for further testing." Madame Pomfrey said.
Cho nodded and sat up. Soon she saw Ron, Samantha, and Harry running down to the hospital wing. Harry got in first.
"Cho? Cho are you alright? Madame Pomfrey is she ok?" Harry asked.
"Potter don't worry Cho will be fine. She just came by to get some tests done to see if she's coming down with something." Madame Pomfrey replied as she hid the tube behind her.
Harry spotted Hermione on the bed surprised to see her without a bloated stomach.
"Did Hermione have her baby?" Samantha asked noticing as well.
"No. She was deprived of her maternal rights. As you can see it must've been a good thing. She's back to normal with attitude, hair, just everything. But now she's helpless." Madame Pomfrey replied, feeling saddened.
"I knew she should've stayed away from that Malfoy. Just wait until I get my hands on him." Ron muttered bitterly as he tightened up his fists.
"Ron, you and I both know violence isn't the answer. We'll just confront him. I just can't believe he'd have the heart to actually see or even know about her having her maternal rights taken away." Samantha said.
Cho hugged Harry tightly as though she hadn't seen him for ages. She looked over at Hermione and than at the rest of them again.
"We should get going. She won't wake up for another two days, I think." Cho said.
Harry nodded. "Alright. Madame Pomfrey thank you. I'm hoping you have results for us soon." Harry said.
"Of course I will. Come back in another three days or so." Madame Pomfrey said smiling meekly.
Harry and Cho left hand in hand. Samantha started walking and saw Ron looking at Hermione. Ron was looking at Hermione almost as though his old feelings for her in his fourth year were stirring up again. Samantha went over to him putting her hand with the wedding ring she had on her finger gleaming.
"Darling? Are you coming?" Samantha asked.
"Uh, yeah Samantha. Listen I'll meet you in the commons later. I have some business I need to take care of." Ron replied nervously.
Samantha smiled slightly. "Alright, I'll see you in the commons later than. Come back as soon as you can." She said.
Samantha kissed Ron and than went on her way to the common room. Ron stood where he was for a couple of moments. His eyes were still captivated on Hermione who was lying motionless on the hospital wing bed. Ron slowly walked over to her and sat down beside her.
"Hermione…I hope the real you is back. We've definetly been through a lot over these past couple of years. I was still mad at you when you didn't come to my wedding, but where were you? I wanted all of my best friends to be there. Including you. Cause now you're really back." Ron said softly. He sighed and got up saying one last thing. "At times I told myself I wouldn't give up on you, thinking I was still in love with you. I don't know what to think now."
Ron walked off down the corridors feeling strange. He looked at his wedding ring and remembered he was still married to Samantha. He loved Samantha so much with all of his heart but he wanted to know what was really there other than passion and lust. Eventually that would have to die down and when it did would he and Samantha have the same connection that he and Hermione had? Ron couldn't believe he was thinking what he was thinking. But the truth in his heart told him that he still cared for Hermione after everything was said and done.
"MR. POTTER PLEASE GIVE US YOUR CONSENT ON WHEN YOU PLAN TO MARRY CHO CHANG!" A report screamed from outside of the entrance.
"Mr. Potter! Why have you decided to marry your girlfriend of two years Cho Chang?" Another reporter screamed.
"Miss. Chang! How do you feel on marrying the greatest young wizard known to this world?!" Another reporter yelled.
"PLEASE, PLEASE EXCUSE THE TWO OF US SOME TIME FOR JUST TWO SECONDS!" Cho yelled through the window.
Harry and Cho ran off to the side not knowing what to do. Cho was certainly terrified of them all. She had one full night of rest and she still felt sick to her stomach. It was a new day and bringing with the new day were swarms of reporters.
"What are we going to do? If we tell them anything my mum and dad are going to find out by the paper and not by us!" Cho exclaimed.
"We'll have to run off. We can't tell them anything until we tell your parents first. I'm pretty sure they'd kill me." Harry said.
"Kill you? Why?" Cho asked.
"Because we didn't even think to consent them about it." Harry said as he ducked from a flash.
Cho ducked down with Harry. "They've got pictures of us Harry what are we going to do?" she said softly.
"We'll have to wait and just pray they don't print anything." Harry said.
Harry and Cho were stuck at the bottom of the corridor for a good two hours. Soon the reporters just died off and went back to their manning stations. Harry helped Cho up. She almost stumbled as she got up.
"Are you alright Cho?" Harry asked worried.
"I'm fine, just a little woozy that's all. Other than that I'm certainly fine." Cho replied.
"We should head back. You really don't look so well. I wouldn't want anything happening to the love of my life." Harry said as he cupped one hand on her face.
Cho smiled slightly. "Nothing will ever happen to me. I promise you, whatever happens I will never leave you." Cho replied.
Harry and Cho hugged and headed back to see Paige and Ron heading over to the hospital wing. They would have followed but Cho really wasn't doing so well. Harry helped her to the common room where for the rest of the day they studied for the exams and near the end Harry held her as she fell asleep in his arms.
Ron and Paige hurried over to the hospital wing. Paige didn't entirely know why she was going with Ron. She only knew Ron had grabbed her from the library and they were just heading for the hospital wing.
"Ron? Do you care to tell me why you're dragging me to the hospital wing?"
Paige asked.
"Oh sorry...I needed to ask you a really personal question." Ron replied.
"Ok…hit it." Paige said.
"Does….does Samantha truly love me?" Ron asked.
"How can you ask me that? She married you. She dated you for two years. She's planning on a very nice future with you. Of course she loves you."Paige said.
"Fine, Paige just go. I'll see you in the commons." Ron said as he went
into the hospital wing.
"Weird little bugger I swear." Paige muttered as she walked off heading back to the library.
Paige walked off slowly something didn't feel right. Something wasn't right at all. She turned back to only see a little light forming through from the door of the hospital wing. She started off again hearing the clicks of her heels sounding through the corridors. Paige took out her wand still not feeling the same security that she felt before.
"What ever you are show yourself." Paige said.
Nothing happened it was just complete silence. Paige continued to walk around cautiously.
"Maybe it's just my phobia coming back." Paige thought to herself.
"Paige come to me." A slow hissing voice said.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Paige exclaimed as she circled around looking for where the voice was coming from.
"Come to me Paige, Come to me now." The hissing voice said again.
"Who are you?" Paige cried panicking.
Paige attempted to run for it towards the common room but she never made it. Within three or four steps Paige had disappeared into a white smog filling the air.
Ron still stood a couple of feet away from Hermione's bed. He didn't know what he was doing. It was another night and Hermione had only been out for one day. He knew she wouldn't wake up at the point she was in. Ron sat down beside her again. He didn't know what was coming over here. He was a married man and yet there he was with the person he never got the chance to be with.
"Hey Hermione.Ron here again. I hope you're doing fine." Ron said.
He realized that came out really stupid and that it sounded better in his head. He sighed. He looked at one of her hands which was lying astray from her. He lifted up his hand trembling slightly and grasped her hand in his. Ron looked at Hermione with something else going through his mind.
"Hermione.I never liked to see you hurt. Maybe this is why I feel so strange. I mean. I'm sitting here right now talking to you and you're not even conscious to reply to me. " Ron said.
Hermione still laid motionless on the bed. Ron just sighed and continued to hold her hand. He didn't know why but he felt a sudden rush of fear fall over him. He feared that he'd lose Hermione. He stroked her hand slightly while just muttering some words under his breath, almost in prayer. After a couple of moments Ron thought about heading back to Samantha. He felt guilty. But soon he was stopped by a sudden movement coming from Hermione.
"Hermione? Hermione can you hear me?" Ron asked.
Hermione groaned and started muttering, her eyes were still closed.
"Hermione? Hermione it's me, Ron. Can you hear me?" Ron said again.
Hermione's eyes fluttered up slightly. At first she couldn't see well but soon Ron's face came to her completely. She cleared her throat to try and find her voice.
"R-Ron?" Hermione said softly.
"Hermione.are you alright?" Ron asked quietly.
"I was just used and deprived of my maternal rights. I've never felt worse." Hermione replied choking up her words.
"Shh, it's alright. I'm here. I'm going to get that git for doing this to you." Ron said as he stroked a couple of hairs from her face.
"You must think I'm awful." Hermione cried. "You tried to warn me all of this time and I didn't listen to you. I took a path I never wanted and now I've lost everything."
"You haven't lost everything. I don't think you're awful. You're still the Hermione I've been known to get used to since our first year." Ron said.
"Please Ron, don't lie to me. I know you think I'm horrible. You married Samantha. You're married now Ron. I've lost you." Hermione said softly.
"I-I.I don't know what to do or say Hermione." Ron said quietly.
"At this moment I'm just wondering why and how we got to this point. I would've been thinking that maybe I was the one you would've married. Right now I would be the one with the ring on my finger and you're staying by my side right now because I'm hurt. And you're staying with me because you were my husband. But you're not. It's all lost." Hermione cried softly.
"You're-you're an amazing person Hermione. You always have been an amazing person. Maybe things could've changed if we didn't get into that fight during the summer of our fourth year.but we did. I cared for you Hermione And I still do." Ron said.
"I have always cared for you. I never stopped. Even when things got so bad for me and everybody knew it, I still had feelings for you. I never stopped." Hermione said.
Ron didn't know what to say or do. His thoughts drifted back to his feelings for Hermione in his fourth year. He really did like her a lot. He was hoping to have a special bond with her in their fifth year but that never came. Their sixth year was different because they had gotten slightly closer as friends again. But now things were different. Ron was married, and Hermione was in a state of pain from so many mistakes.
"Madame Pomfrey tells me that tonic you took was suppose to heal your insides. How are you feeling inside?" Ron asked.
"My system inside is just fine.but my heart and soul inside is broken." Hermione replied softly.
"I wish I could fix that." Ron said.
"You can. I'm hoping you can." Hermione said softly.
Ron and Hermione looked at each other for a couple of moments. Soon Hermione sat up slightly still holding on to Ron's hand. She put one of her hands in the back of his head bringing him closer to her. Ron didn't hesitate. He didn't think at all. All he could have thought was he wanted to help Hermione relieve her pain. They both closed their eyes and soon Ron and Hermione had tilted their heads and they shared a kiss.
Whoah! Ron's married and he kissed another gurl! An old flame.ooooh naughty ron lol. Alright I'll have chapter 8 for you guys in another week. What happened to Paige? What's wrong with Cho man? Review pleassssse!

Samantha kissed Ron and than went on her way to the common room. Ron stood where he was for a couple of moments. His eyes were still captivated on Hermione who was lying motionless on the hospital wing bed. Ron slowly walked over to her and sat down beside her.
"Hermione…I hope the real you is back. We've definetly been through a lot over these past couple of years. I was still mad at you when you didn't come to my wedding, but where were you? I wanted all of my best friends to be there. Including you. Cause now you're really back." Ron said softly. He sighed and got up saying one last thing. "At times I told myself I wouldn't give up on you, thinking I was still in love with you. I don't know what to think now."
Ron walked off down the corridors feeling strange. He looked at his wedding ring and remembered he was still married to Samantha. He loved Samantha so much with all of his heart but he wanted to know what was really there other than passion and lust. Eventually that would have to die down and when it did would he and Samantha have the same connection that he and Hermione had? Ron couldn't believe he was thinking what he was thinking. But the truth in his heart told him that he still cared for Hermione after everything was said and done.
"MR. POTTER PLEASE GIVE US YOUR CONSENT ON WHEN YOU PLAN TO MARRY CHO CHANG!" A report screamed from outside of the entrance.
"Mr. Potter! Why have you decided to marry your girlfriend of two years Cho Chang?" Another reporter screamed.
"Miss. Chang! How do you feel on marrying the greatest young wizard known to this world?!" Another reporter yelled.
"PLEASE, PLEASE EXCUSE THE TWO OF US SOME TIME FOR JUST TWO SECONDS!" Cho yelled through the window.
Harry and Cho ran off to the side not knowing what to do. Cho was certainly terrified of them all. She had one full night of rest and she still felt sick to her stomach. It was a new day and bringing with the new day were swarms of reporters.
"What are we going to do? If we tell them anything my mum and dad are going to find out by the paper and not by us!" Cho exclaimed.
"We'll have to run off. We can't tell them anything until we tell your parents first. I'm pretty sure they'd kill me." Harry said.
"Kill you? Why?" Cho asked.
"Because we didn't even think to consent them about it." Harry said as he ducked from a flash.
Cho ducked down with Harry. "They've got pictures of us Harry what are we going to do?" she said softly.
"We'll have to wait and just pray they don't print anything." Harry said.
Harry and Cho were stuck at the bottom of the corridor for a good two hours. Soon the reporters just died off and went back to their manning stations. Harry helped Cho up. She almost stumbled as she got up.
"Are you alright Cho?" Harry asked worried.
"I'm fine, just a little woozy that's all. Other than that I'm certainly fine." Cho replied.
"We should head back. You really don't look so well. I wouldn't want anything happening to the love of my life." Harry said as he cupped one hand on her face.
Cho smiled slightly. "Nothing will ever happen to me. I promise you, whatever happens I will never leave you." Cho replied.
Harry and Cho hugged and headed back to see Paige and Ron heading over to the hospital wing. They would have followed but Cho really wasn't doing so well. Harry helped her to the common room where for the rest of the day they studied for the exams and near the end Harry held her as she fell asleep in his arms.
Ron and Paige hurried over to the hospital wing. Paige didn't entirely know why she was going with Ron. She only knew Ron had grabbed her from the library and they were just heading for the hospital wing.
"Ron? Do you care to tell me why you're dragging me to the hospital wing?"
Paige asked.
"Oh sorry...I needed to ask you a really personal question." Ron replied.
"Ok…hit it." Paige said.
"Does….does Samantha truly love me?" Ron asked.
"How can you ask me that? She married you. She dated you for two years. She's planning on a very nice future with you. Of course she loves you."Paige said.
"Fine, Paige just go. I'll see you in the commons." Ron said as he went
into the hospital wing.
"Weird little bugger I swear." Paige muttered as she walked off heading back to the library.
Paige walked off slowly something didn't feel right. Something wasn't right at all. She turned back to only see a little light forming through from the door of the hospital wing. She started off again hearing the clicks of her heels sounding through the corridors. Paige took out her wand still not feeling the same security that she felt before.
"What ever you are show yourself." Paige said.
Nothing happened it was just complete silence. Paige continued to walk around cautiously.
"Maybe it's just my phobia coming back." Paige thought to herself.
"Paige come to me." A slow hissing voice said.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Paige exclaimed as she circled around looking for where the voice was coming from.
"Come to me Paige, Come to me now." The hissing voice said again.
"Who are you?" Paige cried panicking.
Paige attempted to run for it towards the common room but she never made it. Within three or four steps Paige had disappeared into a white smog filling the air.
Ron still stood a couple of feet away from Hermione's bed. He didn't know what he was doing. It was another night and Hermione had only been out for one day. He knew she wouldn't wake up at the point she was in. Ron sat down beside her again. He didn't know what was coming over here. He was a married man and yet there he was with the person he never got the chance to be with.
"Hey Hermione.Ron here again. I hope you're doing fine." Ron said.
He realized that came out really stupid and that it sounded better in his head. He sighed. He looked at one of her hands which was lying astray from her. He lifted up his hand trembling slightly and grasped her hand in his. Ron looked at Hermione with something else going through his mind.
"Hermione.I never liked to see you hurt. Maybe this is why I feel so strange. I mean. I'm sitting here right now talking to you and you're not even conscious to reply to me. " Ron said.
Hermione still laid motionless on the bed. Ron just sighed and continued to hold her hand. He didn't know why but he felt a sudden rush of fear fall over him. He feared that he'd lose Hermione. He stroked her hand slightly while just muttering some words under his breath, almost in prayer. After a couple of moments Ron thought about heading back to Samantha. He felt guilty. But soon he was stopped by a sudden movement coming from Hermione.
"Hermione? Hermione can you hear me?" Ron asked.
Hermione groaned and started muttering, her eyes were still closed.
"Hermione? Hermione it's me, Ron. Can you hear me?" Ron said again.
Hermione's eyes fluttered up slightly. At first she couldn't see well but soon Ron's face came to her completely. She cleared her throat to try and find her voice.
"R-Ron?" Hermione said softly.
"Hermione.are you alright?" Ron asked quietly.
"I was just used and deprived of my maternal rights. I've never felt worse." Hermione replied choking up her words.
"Shh, it's alright. I'm here. I'm going to get that git for doing this to you." Ron said as he stroked a couple of hairs from her face.
"You must think I'm awful." Hermione cried. "You tried to warn me all of this time and I didn't listen to you. I took a path I never wanted and now I've lost everything."
"You haven't lost everything. I don't think you're awful. You're still the Hermione I've been known to get used to since our first year." Ron said.
"Please Ron, don't lie to me. I know you think I'm horrible. You married Samantha. You're married now Ron. I've lost you." Hermione said softly.
"I-I.I don't know what to do or say Hermione." Ron said quietly.
"At this moment I'm just wondering why and how we got to this point. I would've been thinking that maybe I was the one you would've married. Right now I would be the one with the ring on my finger and you're staying by my side right now because I'm hurt. And you're staying with me because you were my husband. But you're not. It's all lost." Hermione cried softly.
"You're-you're an amazing person Hermione. You always have been an amazing person. Maybe things could've changed if we didn't get into that fight during the summer of our fourth year.but we did. I cared for you Hermione And I still do." Ron said.
"I have always cared for you. I never stopped. Even when things got so bad for me and everybody knew it, I still had feelings for you. I never stopped." Hermione said.
Ron didn't know what to say or do. His thoughts drifted back to his feelings for Hermione in his fourth year. He really did like her a lot. He was hoping to have a special bond with her in their fifth year but that never came. Their sixth year was different because they had gotten slightly closer as friends again. But now things were different. Ron was married, and Hermione was in a state of pain from so many mistakes.
"Madame Pomfrey tells me that tonic you took was suppose to heal your insides. How are you feeling inside?" Ron asked.
"My system inside is just fine.but my heart and soul inside is broken." Hermione replied softly.
"I wish I could fix that." Ron said.
"You can. I'm hoping you can." Hermione said softly.
Ron and Hermione looked at each other for a couple of moments. Soon Hermione sat up slightly still holding on to Ron's hand. She put one of her hands in the back of his head bringing him closer to her. Ron didn't hesitate. He didn't think at all. All he could have thought was he wanted to help Hermione relieve her pain. They both closed their eyes and soon Ron and Hermione had tilted their heads and they shared a kiss.
Whoah! Ron's married and he kissed another gurl! An old flame.ooooh naughty ron lol. Alright I'll have chapter 8 for you guys in another week. What happened to Paige? What's wrong with Cho man? Review pleassssse!
