Authors Note: I know last chapter was short; it was sort of a pre-chapter
to this one. Thanks to my reviewers, if you like this story, I'm thrilled.
If you don't, either please give me constructive criticism or don't read
it. A plain I don't like it, isn't really helpful. to me or you. I can't
learn how to make it better, and then you won't like it. (I haven't really
gotten any of these, but I know they can come so I am warning ahead of
time). Anyways, to the story.
Hermione waited anxiously for Harry to finish with his potions test. She wanted to prepare him and herself on what to say to Ron.
"It's simple, Ill just say what happened" she thought to herself. "Ahh, but I can't! It's too hard" she murmured aloud.
She walked up the staircase, with no real destination in mind. The castle was pretty empty. All of Hogwarts students were in classes, only Hermione had permission to miss hers. She continued on to the next hallway, and sat down in a nearby chair. She was not the best with patience, and she tapped her foot vigorously. She sighed and rested her head on her hand, she was tired. She had not been sleeping well, her nights filled with odd dreams, some scary and a reminder of what had happened, some twisted. And till she fell asleep was another story. She was considering asking Madame Pomfrey for a dreamless sleep potion.
After what seemed like ages, she saw a mill of students coming towards her. She searched the crowd for Harry, and didn't see any of her fellow classmates. A whip of red hair flashed at her, and she spotted Ron. He didn't see her yet, so she ducked her head. She didn't want to run into him before seeing Harry. She turned the corner, and crashed heads into someone. She didn't catch herself quickly enough, and felt herself looking up at Draco Malfoy. She felt like whimpering, but did not say anything.
"So, Granger. I heard you are not doing so well these days. Wonder why?" he said, and then snickered. "I personally think that you enjoyed what *happened*. I think you want it to happen again." He said, and came closer to her.
She yelled. "Get the hell away from me, you pure-blooded trash! Don't touch me," she continued to yell, and started crying.
Someone jumped on top of him, and made him stop breathing. "APOLOGIZE. AND DON'T EVER GO NEAR HER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
Draco coughed. He turned, and ran. Ron stood up. "So, I take it he is part of the problem?" "
Oh my G-d, thank you, Ron. How could I ever?" She ran into a hug with
him, and just broke down. "Hermione, can you tell me what's been going on?"
"Oh Ron. It was Malfoy. The other night, three weeks ago. He.. Umm- he-"she couldn't say it. She just cried harder.
"HOLY LORD. DID HE DO WHAT I THINK HE DID"
"Yes" was all she managed to say.
"WELL, WHY WASN'T ACTION TAKEN AGAINST HIM? IM GOING TO DUMBLEDORE", he said. "Wait, there is more, isn't there? I can tell. What else is there?"
"Oh Ron, I'm pregnant"
Ron flopped down into a nearby chair. He breathed very strongly, in and out. He didn't say anything for about five minutes.
"Does Harry know?"
"Of course he knows, Ron" she said. "Tomorrows the day I need to take the potion to stop this thing, this-from growing"
"Hermione, I am so sorry. If you need anything, anything at all, let me know, right away. Do you want me to go with you? I understand if you don't, but if you need someone else to cry on or to hold your hand, I am there." Ron said.
"Oh Ron, this means so much to me. That you don't think, less of me, and that you are there for me. Oh, I don't know what to say-"she started to say, and then just let the tears fall.
"Hermione, on the contrary, I think more of you. For what has happened to you, and for how brave you are." He said this, and hugged her tight.
Harry walked past the hallway, and saw Hermione hugging Ron. He realized she must have told him, and sighed of relief, and great awe of Hermione's pride and goodness. He continued walking, and Hermione noticed him.
"Harry. Ron knows." She said it in two different sentences, not sure what or how to say what she thought.
"It's Ok, 'mione, its going to be Ok. And Ron and I are here for you, and are going to help it be Ok. Tomorrow, this chapter closes, and tomorrow it will be all new, all fresh, and all Ok." Harry said.
Hermione turned to Ron. "I'd be more than glad if you were to accompany me with Harry to the hospital wing. I don't know what will be done, and I am, scared" she finally said that out loud.
The both hugged her, promising it would be Ok. They didn't know, really, but they promised it anyways. Not only to calm Hermione, but to talk it into themselves.
"Alright, who is up for Dinner?" Ron said.
"Oh RON." Hermione laughed. "Your mind is always and only on your stomach." She playfully punched him, and sighed. It was good to have him on her side, as her friend. She was glad she told him. Harry was right; he deserved the truth, and the facts.
They walked, the threesome, hand in hand to the dining hall, once again for a meal. They sat down, and filled their plates with rice, steak, and potatoes. Hermione ate, and felt a little better. She was slowly feeling more and more nervous. Her stomach had the feeling that butterflies made it their home. She kept glancing at her watch, thinking how many more hours subconsciously till the next day.
Harry noticed her nervous behavior, but didn't speak of it. He understood that she needed him, but he couldn't stop certain things.
Ron muttered something to Hermione, and then Hermione said to Harry, "Umm, Harry, before you came when Ron and I were talking, something happened." She stopped, gulped, and continued on with Ron's coaxing. "Malfoy threatened me."
Harry stopped dead in his tracks of other thought. "HE WHAT", he yelled. He started to get up, but Hermione kicked him and he sat down.
"Ron agrees with me. We will tell Dumbledore tomorrow. He is making the potion, I am sure he will be there." Hermione said.
"Alright." Harry agreed. He then stood up, Hermione and Ron followed. They walked up to the Gryffindor Tower and went into the common room. It was empty.
"Mione, I think you should get some sleep now for tomorrow." Harry said, and he and Ron walked her to her dormitory.
After about five minutes of being in her room, she ran downstairs, almost forgetting she was in her pajamas. She put on her robe and went to the common room, to find Harry and Ron sitting on the couch. They were in whispered discussion; she could only guess it was about her.
"What are you doing up? Mione, you need to sleep." Harry said.
"Oh, but I can't. Ill just sit here with you till I get real tired, and then I will go to bed."
She listened to their chat for hours. She kept seeing different groups come in to common room, and slowly everyone went up to their dormitories but Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
She closed her eyes, and felt her head leaning, but she didn't care. She heard snoring, which must to have been Ron. Slowly she too entered the world of dreamland and slumber.
Harry felt Hermione fall asleep on him, and heard Ron asleep. Only he lay awake, worrying for his girlfriend, the true one he loved. He too closed his eyes, but remained awake.
Authors Note: Alright, this was all a buildup. I wrote this one for a LONG time, so I want reviews, and nice ones! I will even post this one the SAME NIGHT as I posted the sixth chapter, call me very nice, lol. The next chapter will be even better, so get ready. I made this one longer, and this will probably be the average length, even more, to the next chapters. REVIEW.
