Disclaimer: I own nothing. A/N: Thanx 4 the review Southern lil' me. Chapter 4:

Hermione's eyes widened as she saw what her ex-boyfriend had pulled out.

"Ron... Please... no," she begged him.

Ron laughed as he grasped Hermione and held the handgun to her head. As this happened Harry raised up and realized what had just occurred.

"Ron, what are you doing, she was your best friend, have you lost it?" Harry asked Ron.

Ron looked at them and eventually let Hermione go, as soon as she was out of his grasp she ran to Harry crying.

"Shhh, he's not gonna hurt you again Mione, not as long as I can help it." Harry told her.

At this Ron went running from this house, ran to his car, jumped in, and quickly pulled out of the driveway.

Later that night

Hermione had decided to stay on a cot in Harry's room that night because she was afraid that Ron would come home and try to do something to her and if she was in Harry's room he wouldn't touch her.

As Harry lay there thinking about the past few years, and how much the girl laying just a few feet away had helped him it almost brought tears to his eyes. She had helped him in his quest to defeat Lord Voldemort, she had helped him last year with Umbridge and in the Department of Mysteries, she had also helped him cope with the death of Sirius, his godfather. Laying there thinking this he believed that he truly loved her.

As Harry was thinking these thoughts he drifted off to sleep.

"Harry... Harry," Hermione whispered trying to wake him.

"Mione, what time is it?" He asked waking up and realizing that it was storming.

"I dunno, the electric is out, and I'm scared," she replied.

At this Harry smiled, Hermione had always said she was afraid of storms but it had never really dawned on Harry until now.

Harry sat up and pulled the covers out so that she could climb in beside him. Once she had gotten comfortable, he wrapped his arms around her.

Hermione loved the feeling of having Harry's arms around her; it made her feel safe.

Just at that moment the bedroom door came open and someone came in.

"What's going on in here, and where's Hermione?" a familiar voice asked.

A/N: There's chapter 4. I hope y'all like it; I'll try to update soon. Please review.
