Waiting
Ron raced through the corridors holding the love of his life in his arms. Reaching the hospital wing he yelled "Madame Pomfrey! Madame Pompfrey!"
"What's with all the racket boy...?" Her eyes fell upon Hermione's limp figure. "Set her down here. What happened?" she asked as nimble fingers took pulse, blood pressure, etc.
"I think she was attacked. I found her like this in the common room."
"I need Blood Replenishing Potion, I'll be back." She vanished leaving Ron alone. But not for long as soon Dobby appeared w/ a crack.
"Master Ronald, I found this."Ron opened the envelope and found a letter inside.
Dear Ron,
If you're reading this, you're probably wondering what happened. No, I was not attacked. I did this to myself. I do not deserve to live. You are sweet, caring, loyal, fun, smart and handsome. I am ugly, temperamental, fat, stupid, annoying and have big hair and big teeth. I am so loathsome I am amazed you could stand me for so long. With me out of the way, we won't fight, which will please Harry, my parents would stop having arguments over me, which will please them, and everyone will be happy that the annoying one is gone. So don't be upset, things are better this way.
I'll miss you,
Hermione
Ron chocked back tears. She was wrong for once. HE didn't deserve HER. She was perfect. He was going to tell her so.
For a week Ron sat there. He never moved, not for classes, not for eating, not for sleeping. Occasionally he was joined by Harry who took him his meals and class work. Ron hadn't told Harry about the note. He wanted to talk to Hermione first.
But she never roused. Sometimes she would sit up suddenly crying and Ron would hold her until she slept again. The teachers urged him to return to class, but he wouldn't listen. She might wake up the second he left. Plus, with him gone, who would soothe her during her nightmares? No, he would never leave her. Ever.
On the seventh day, Hermione's eyes started fluttering. Ron, who had been drifting off to sleep, immediately shot up and took her hand. Her eyes fell upon his and she whispered "Ron?"
A/N –Aint I evil? A Cliffy!!!!! I was very disappointed the other day, I only got three reviews. That makes me sad. So, press the button down there and tell me what you think. Praise makes me update faster!!!
