Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter. That's it. plain and simple.

JorInTheBox- I know it was short... Sorry! Here's a longer one to compensate, though... And it's got the answers you asked for... :)

"No-out! You'll wake her! She needs to rest!" Hermione could hear someone whispering. Wake who? she thought.

"I just want to sit with her!"

"Well you'll have to be quiet!"

"Okay!"

Hermione heard the door shut. Just listening to this conversation had exhausted her. Before she drifted back to sleep, however, she felt a hand holding hers.

---

Hermione woke to find herself in Ginny's room, laying on her bed. Ron was sitting next to her, his head laying on the bed, his hand in hers. Hermione didn't want to wake him, but she knew he would be really embarrassed if she just left him sleeping. She used the hand he wasn't holding to nudge him. He immediately sat bolt upright, but he didn't let go of her hand.

"Oh, you're awake! Thank goodness!" Mrs. Weasley said, walking into the room. Ron let go of Hermione's hand.

"I'll go make you something to eat," Mrs. Weasley said, bustling back out.

Hermione tried to sit up, but her head started throbbing.

"Ron?"

"Yeah?" Ron said, blushing.

"Wh-What happened to me?" Ron stopped blushing, and he seemed relieved- he had obviously thought she was going to ask why he had been holding her hand.

"You don't remember?" He asked. She shook her head.

"Well, a bludger hit you in the head. Harry and I only just managed to catch you before you hit the ground. You've been asleep for three days now."

"And Ron has barely left your side that whole time," Ginny said, walking in. Ron turned bright red.

"I was just worried," he mumbled.

"Thanks Ron," Hermione said, grabbing his hand. Ginny, seeing this, grinned.

"I think I'll just get some more pillows so you don'thave to hold yourself up anymore, Hermione." she hurried out of the room, a smirk on her face.

"Ron," Hermione said, leaning closer to him, "Thanks- really,"

"You're welcome," he said. She leaned in and gave him a gentle kiss, then pulled away.

"Should that have happened?" she asked, looking into his eyes. He leaned in and gave her a kiss in reply. Just then Harry walked in.

"Ginny said Hermione's awa- Maybe I should come back later," he said, turning back around.

"No, Harry. It's okay." Hermione said.

"How are you doing?" he asked.

"Well, my head's throbbing, my legs ache, my arms are sore, and I've got a crick in my neck from sleeping so long, but aside from that, I'm wonderful."
They all laughed, and when Ginny came in, she wanted to know what was so funny.

"I just made a stupid joke," Hermione said. "Now can we get those pillows back behind me now?"

"Yes. Ron, will you help me?" Ginny asked.

"Sure." He got up and helped prop the pillows up behind her so that it didn't hurt to sit up.

Just then, Mrs. Weasley bustled in with a tray that had orange juice, soup, and a glass full of a liquid that changed from purple to orange and back again.

"Eat. When you're done, drink all of the potion," she said, then turned to the others. "You all can stay while she eats, but once she's done you have to leave- Even though she's woken up, she still has a lot of recovering to do, and she needs her sleep. Hermione, that potion will help your brain recover. I daresay you don't remember what happened?"

Hermione nodded.

"Ron explained what happened, but I don't remember any of it."

"Well, get some rest and that potion will do the trick," she said. She left Hermione to eat.

Everyone else stayed with her to talk while she ate, but as she finished and the others got up to leave, Hermione turned to Ron.

"Erm, Ron? Could I talk to you?" she asked. Harry leaned over and whispered something in his ear. Ron replied by punching him in the shoulder. Ginny and Harry left quickly, both smirking. Ron sat back down, blushing a little.

"What is it?" Ron asked.

Hermione sat there for a long time, trying to think of how she should put her thoughts into words.

"Ron, I-" she started, but he put a finger to her lips.

"I understand," he said. He bent down and gave her a kiss.

"Drink your potion and go to sleep," he said, "I'll see you tomorrow morning."

It was only then that Hermione realized how exhausted she was. She drank all of the potion and eventually drifted off to sleep.

I hope you all liked it!
