"You have a visitor Miss Granger."
Hermione looked up from the new magazine she had been reading. On her request, Dr. Whitaker had brought her a pile of magazines that would be of more interest to her. Now, the petite nurse that had come in all day yesterday and for a good bit of today stood at the door, a smile on her face.
"Alright, who is it?" Hermione asked, although she knew it could only be the man, Ron, which had thrown her into such frenzy the day before.
"Ronald Weasley," she answered.
Hermione nodded her approval and averted her eyes from the door and back to the magazine. She couldn't help the blush that crept up her cheeks as she heard the nurse bid farewell and Ron's shoes squeak into the room. She felt his presence as he walked closer to her and slowly sat in the chair. Finally, she couldn't stand not looking at him and twisted her body slightly, wincing in pain, so that she faced him. "Listen..." she began, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry about yesterday, I was just really confused is all. It's...difficult to not remember these...things." She looked down at her hands, embarrassed about her insane reaction the day before.
"It's alright. I mean...I would probably act the same way if I were you," he said slowly. "We don't have to talk about important things today. You can just ask me questions if you want," he said quickly. She looked back up at him and smiled. He seemed eager not to cause her any more confusion of uncertainty.
"Alright, we can do that," she agreed to his idea. "Where do I live?"
"In a London flat," he replied.
"Do I live with anyone?"
"Your best friend, and my sister, Ginny Weasley." The name rung a bell, but she still couldn't put a face to her. And she didn't really know who she was; the name just seemed familiar was all.
"What about my parents?"
"They're muggles. They're alive still, and they'll be seeing you when you're released. They're very happy to know you're alive," he smiled at her.
She bit her lip and thought about it more. "Have we had sex?" His eyes widened and she laughed at his reaction. "Have we?" she asked again.
"Well...er...uh...yes," he stuttered.
"Good," she said, emphasizing it with a nod. "We haven't had any...children, have we?" she asked slowly.
He shook his head. "No. We were waiting until after marriage," he said. Looking into his eyes, she felt a sort of love for him, although he was still a stranger to her.
"Alright then...when were we supposed to get married?"
"In about two month's time. I proposed to you right before you left on your mission...we wanted to get the wedding done and over with so we could start a family," he explained.
"How did you propose?" she asked softly, her eyes questioning.
He stood up and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Listen, I'm sorry 'Mione but I can't answer your question. That's something for you to remember, not for me to tell. I have to get back home...my boss wants me to start work tomorrow," he said and turned towards the door.
"Ron?" she called out in that equally soft voice she had used just moments before.
He stopped, his hand on the knob. "Yeah?" he replied, his voice heavy.
She bit her lip and looked away, hoping her tears wouldn't break the dam and flow down her cheeks. "Thanks," she whispered. And with that, he was gone; his shoes squeaking down the hallway.
"I seriously don't know how much more of this I can handle," Ron groaned and flopped down on his couch.
Ginny came out of the kitchen, her hands on her hips. She had been preparing dinner, owing to the fact that neither of the guys knew how to cook. They would still be living off of the Leaky Cauldron if it weren't for her. "Just think how she feels," she snapped hotly.
Harry masked a smile and hid his face behind his book that he was pretending to read. Ron scowled. It wasn't the fact of visiting Hermione that was so bad. It was the fact that she didn't have a clue who he was that was emotionally draining him. "Why don't you try it out yourself then?"
"Because you're her fiancé dimwit," Ginny said, rolling her eyes. "Honestly Ron, I thought you would have gotten the clue by now."
"The only thing I've gotten is that I have to listen to her ask questions! One of them being if we had been sexually active!" Ron blurted out, his ears red.
Ginny burst out laughing and Harry couldn't help but grin. "Well, of course she's going to ask that Ron!" Ginny gasped, trying to control her laughter. "You would to if you couldn't remember anything!" She shook her head in mirth and walked back into the kitchen.
Ron glared after her and sunk even lower into the couch. He looked over at Harry who was looking at his book with fake interest. "Seriously mate, it's hell seeing her in there," Ron complained to him. He knew he was being stupid. That Hermione needed him and this was in no means the way to go about it. It was just so damn difficult to watch her be like that and know the only thing he could was stare and answer questions.
"I know," Harry sighed and leaned against the back of his chair, giving up the reading thing altogether. "But she needs you right now, even though it may not seem like it," he said, acting as the wise friend for once.
Ron closed his eyes and dug the palms of his hands in them. "I can't go back there tomorrow. Not for a little while at least. I need a break," he replied. He pushed himself off the couch and walked towards his bedroom.
"It's your funeral," Harry muttered at Ron's retreating back.
