Just Old Friends
Chapter 6: Hermione
"Morning Harry, how are you today?"
"All the better for seeing your pretty face Hermione!"
She laughed and watched as he swung his legs out of the bed and stood up. She clapped as he moved into the bathroom and then came back. She was sitting on a chair with two cups of coffee and some toast.
He had become use to seeing Hermione in her Mediwitch uniform. The lime green colour did nothing for her really but she looked happy when she was in work. He noticed how she would come and see him before she started her shift bringing breakfast, come back during lunch and come see him before she left. He couldn't help but wonder if she'd been doing it for the whole year.
"Hermione did you always come visit me as much when I was unconscious?"
"Yep four times a day for two and a half years!"
"How long?"
"Opps!"
He stared at her, two years he'd been unconscious for two years.
"Hermione you have to tell me everything that happened."
"But –"
"But nothing tell me."
She sighed and sat up in her chair. She looked hard at him.
"This will take a while and I can't stay for more than thirty minutes, I can start telling you now but the rest will have to wait till my lunch break."
He nodded at her and she looked at him, he could tell straight away she didn't want to tell him but with one look she started her story.
"Well you remember the events leading up to the day right, and sitting in the Great Hall having breakfast."
He nodded for her to continue.
"Alright so what happened was we went out to the carriages and all hell broke lose. They were everywhere these Death Eaters and some of the students had followed us out to help them, we were surrounded."
"We just fought, that's all we could do. We kept at it and at it. Three hours we were there and finally it was over. We had captured all the Death Eaters that remained. You see at some point you had already defeated Voldemort and they knew it, some left instantly others stayed."
She laughed.
"Oh it was tough, as hard as we thought it would be. Nothing I had read helped me that day, but it doesn't matter, not really because I lived through it and all I ended up with were three broken ribs, a broken hand and a scar right across my stomach. I suppose I'm lucky."
Harry knew there were more important things but had to ask.
"A scar what sort?"
She laughed and a smile spread across her face. She opened her robes and lifted the white T-shirt up a bit. She had what looked like an hourglass scar and it caused him to laugh.
"It looks like the time turner, and well your figure as well."
"Harry Potter I can't believe you just said that!"
They both laughed some more and then sobered up. A Healer by the name of Blucas came into the room and looked at the pair.
"Granger you're suppose to be starting the rounds you better find Mavis before she goes mad that you're late again."
"Yes sir I'm on my way right now."
"Wait! Did Ron you know make it, are you two you know."
"Harry I'll tell you about it at lunch."
"Wait just tell me about Ron."
She was gone though and he sat there for a while. Why did he ask about Ron, he should have asked about Luna first. He had tried though been asking for months and Hermione always changed the subject around. But he was sure she'd answer about Ron.
She came back in moments later followed by Mavis. As Mavis checked him over Harry asked again.
"Tell me about Ron!"
"Alright Harry, you don't have to raise your voice. He was badly injured in the battle, really badly to be honest. He was hit by a spell from Pettigrew and well he lost his right leg. He looks a bit like Moody use to now, he hobbles around on a wooden leg. But it's still Ron. He's depressed more now, but he's been smiling since the day I told him you had woken up."
She laughed at Harry's look.
"Oh he hasn't changed one bit really. He's an Auror, well training to be one; it's really funny because although he only has one leg nothing has changed. He's still Ron. And well he's been trying to sneak in to see you, I had to take your father's old cloak from him and I told him he had to wait till you were better, he'll be in tomorrow at some point to see you. Oh and he's already bought the chocolate frogs so he's prepared."
Hermione left and Harry just sat there thinking about what she had said. She hadn't told him much over the last four months but he did know they had won, he didn't know who had survived except for himself and her.
The fact that Ron was alive gave him hope. He needed his friends now more than ever if it had really been two years and Ron had always been able to cheer him up. But he had lost a leg and Hermione had spoken about Moody as if he were dead.
More questions formed in Harry's mind, and he just sat there waiting for lunch and Hermione's sure return.
Sorry it's been a while since I updated this one, so much going on around here but yeah umm Thank you and I hope you like this chapter. It answers who the healer is anyway, although I think the title gives it away. Still a lot to come so yeah. Shout outs now
SnoopyViz: Yes Harry is very demanding isn't he, wanting water and all that it's such a horrible demand, he must so be a diva these days.
Annie: Okay well I don't think that Slytherin is the better house but I do think Draco is a bit better than Harry, but nobody can beat the Weasley twins they're my favourite, although I'm quite fond of Neville these days.
Val: Thank you glad that you are enjoying
La2ur2a: thank you so much hope you'll enjoy this
Chica91: Well I think this chapter has answered some of your questions since its titled Hermione and then she talks about Ron.
I should have more post up on Wednesday or that's what I'm aiming for anyway so yeah.
Thanks
