"He's awake now." The healer said as she reentered Hermione had never been so relieved in her entire life. "As far as we can tell for now, he's ok, but he's got some broken ribs and some other damage we're testing him now."

"Can we go see him?" Molly asked the Dr.

"One at time right now please." He said Hermione smiled at Molly.

"You go ahead Hermione dear, I think he'd want to see the woman he loves first." Molly said with a smile.

"Thank you." Hermione whispered she was happy and scared at the same time Molly was finally willing to except what she had with Bill.

"Come with me Mrs. Granger I'll show you to his room." The healer explained Hermione followed shaking she looked into the room Bill sat shifting himself miserably in his bed. As Hermione walked in his face lit up.

"Don't ever do that me again ok?" Hermione said as she entered the room.

"You must've been so scared when I wouldn't wake up." Bill said as she sat down on his hospital bed.

"I was just knocked unconscious, I have pretty nasty concussion." Bill explained "But they think I'm going to be fine." He said

"Thank god for that." Hermione paused "I don't know what I would've done if I'd lost you." At that Bill kissed her softly and deeply giving her the most meaningful Kiss she'd ever received in her whole life. She then laid next to him letting him slip his arms around her firmly.

"This is where I belong." Bill said "I told you I'd see you soon, I don't break my promises."

"It was a vision by the way." Hermione explained "I knew exactly where to find you because I dreamed it."

"But I thought I died in your dream?" Bill said

"I just heard Lucius say the words I jumped front of you and pulled you out of the way the curse missed." Hermione said.

"You could have died what were you thinking!" Bill said almost angrily.

"It was either let both of us die or risk my life and save you." Hermione explained

"Did we catch him." Bill asked

"Yeah, right after you got knocked out he's probably checking into Azkaban as we speak." Hermione said with a grin. Bill returned it happily.

"Thank god for that." Bill smiled

"Ron is finally going to be at rest once and for all." Hermione said.

"I knew I loved you before Hermione, but this proves it, I think that if we both made it threw this we can make it threw anything." Bill paused softly.

"I know, I was so afraid when I thought you might die, because I wasn't just losing my boyfriend I was losing my best friend and my soul mate it was the most terrified I've ever been in whole life."

"I'm sorry I did that to you." Bill said. Pulling her tighter against him. She turned to face him kissing him again savoring every detail of him holding him as if she never wanted to let him go.

Meanwhile outside Bill's room Molly Weasley watched intently waiting for her turn to go in and see her son.

"You're son is a very lucky man Mrs. Weasley." The healer said with a smile

"What do you mean?" Molly asked

"To have someone who loves him so much." She paused "I've seen hundreds of couples in here, the hospital brings out the love in everyone, but let me tell you I've never in whole life seen two people who love each other this much." Molly stared for a moment watching Hermione and Bill holding each other so tight she couldn't believe she'd never seen it before the Healer was right Hermione wasn't trying to replace Ron, she loved Bill.

"Can I just go in and see them, I don't want to break it up." Molly begged.

"I suppose but don't stay to long, Bill really needs his rest." The woman explained Molly looked at her strangely.

"Knock, Knock." Molly said standing in the doorway.

"Oh god Molly I'm sorry we just got kind of caught I'll leave now so that the two of you can talk." Hermione started to get up.

"No stay Hermione Bill needs you right now." Molly paused "I'm sorry I ever doubted you." She explained

"Love both of you so much you know that right?" Molly said.

"Yeah." They said together Bill completely unwilling to let Hermione go.

"I've been positively awful about this relationship and I wanted to say I'm so sorry."

"It's Ok Molly." Hermione said. "But just so you know no one and I mean no one will ever replace Ron for me." Molly smiled. "I love Bill because he's Bill, not because of Ron."

"It's just so hard sometimes." Molly said, "I feel sometimes like we're all forgetting him, when I saw you and Bill falling in love, it made me worry that the last pieces of Ron were disappearing."

"Ron will never ever be gone mom." Bill paused

"I know that now," Molly explained.

"He's with us everywhere we go for the rest of our lives molly."

"Yes, but it's time that we all moved on." Molly explained

"It's moving on that the hardest for everyone mum." Bill said. "But you're right it's time."

"You know what everyone is waiting outside to see you Bill, I think Hermione and I should leave for a moment." Molly said

"Alright." Bill said Hermione agreed. But she leaned down to kissing him firmly.

"I'll be back in a little while ok?" She said rubbing her hand down his face.

"I love you." Bill said firmly.

"I love you too." Hermione said at that Molly wrapped an arm around Hermione and they left the room together.

After what seemed like hours Hermione was talking to the healer alone they were keeping Bill overnight but she was happy that he might be able to leave in the morning, she'd invited the entire Weasley family to stay at Grimmauld place and they'd graciously excepted.

"Can I stay with him?" She asked finally hopefully.

"Sure I suppose if you'd like." The woman said

"Thank you." Hermione said she made her way back toward Bill's room. He smiled at her excitedly.

"I figured you went home with everyone else." Bill said he'd clearly been sleeping.

"I couldn't sleep without you." Hermione smiled "I just couldn't do it, I asked If I could stay." Hermione paused Bill pulled her back into bed with him.

"I'm glad she said yes, I haven't been able to sleep at all without you next me." He smiled at her.

"I'm here now." Hermione said curling up next to him on the small bed they were both completely exhausted The next morning Hermione smiled as she rolled over and kissed Bill who opened his eyes with bit of excitement.

"Good morning." The healer said walking in at that moment.

"Can I go home yet?" Bill asked hopefully.

"In just a bit, I've got to run some tests but theoretically you can go home as early as this afternoon." she paused

"Great." said Bill with a hint of excitement.

"Hermione I'll need you to leave for just a few minutes, while I check him out." The woman said.

"I'll be right outside." Hermione smiled at Bill.

"See you soon." He smiled with stupid grin.

"You two are so cute." The healer said giving Bill a funny grin.

"I like to think so." Bill teased. But at that she began running the necessary tests.

"Everything looks great." The woman explained.

"Let me go get your release papers."

"Hey I have one more question." Bill asked

"What are the rules about physical exercise?" Bill asked hinting.

"None for at least a week." She said

"Does that include..." she trailed off.

"Yes, no sex for a least a week, and I feel much better if you waited two." She said.

"Alright." Bill frowned. Hermione reentered at that moment.

"So they tell me your free to go?" She said

"As soon as my release papers are finished." Bill said "But the healer said no physical activity for a least a week."

"Yeah I know she told me last night." Hermione said

"Can you go a whole week with out making love to me?" Bill teased.

"I went half my life I think I can go as long as I have to." Hermione paused. "However I will relish the day you we can make up for lost time."

"All right Bill you are a free man." The healer reentered.

"Let's go." He said and they headed back to grimmauld place when they arrived home the entire order had set up and welcome home Bill party. However he had only one person he wanted to talk to.

"Harry." Bill said pulling him to the side as soon as Hermione had stepped away.

"What's up Bill?"

"Well you're Hermione's best friend." Bill paused "And I plan to ask her to marry me."

"Somehow I saw that coming." Harry paused.

"Her father died last year so I thought I should ask you for her hand in Marriage." Harry smiled "So what do you say Potter can I marry you best friend?"

"You let me marry your sister, so guess it's the least I can do to let you marry Hermione." Harry smiled Bill hugged him happily.

"Harry, I have one more favor to ask?"

"Anything?" Harry said

"Will you go ring shopping with me?" Bill asked Harry laughed

"Sure thing." Harry promised then Hermione reemerged happily.
