A/N:When I first started this I thought it would be a OneShot, but then I added another chapter to finish it and to tell you if Ron survived or not. It seems that I didn't say if he did survive or not well enough, or that he took Hermione's words to heart, so here is the final installment to The Weasley Tragedy.


Two Weeks Later

A million words wont bring you back I know because I've tried. Neither would a million tears I know because I've cried.

Hermione was sitting in her room alone for the third consecutive night. She hasn't left her house, hasn't answered to any letters. She's been worried sick over Ron ever since seeing him in St. Mungo's. So pale and lifeless. Then getting in the argument just as he wakes up. She thinks back over that day constantly, thinking if it could have went any different.

She gets up and walks over to her closet and pulls out her Hogwarts trunk. She opens it and finds the picture they took on the Hogwarts Express of the three of them. All smiles and waving. That moment will be captured like that forever. Tears start to fall down her face when her gaze looks at only Ron. He smiles brightly and waves at her. Hermione then heaves a sob and starts crying uncontrollably. She gets up on shaky feet and falls on her bed and cries until no more tears fall.

After laying on her bed, she gets up and goes to her window. She opens it and slips out of the house. She falls softly in the backyard and walks into the forest behind her house. She breaks into a run when the house falls from view and sprints as fast as she can. When she reaches the lake, she runs to the edge and collapses. She peers over the edge into the water and sees her reflection. Her eyes are bloodshot from the sleepless nights. They're also puffy from crying so much. Her face is drawn and pale, from not leaving the house. Her makeup is all smeared, and her mascara is dripping. She starts crying again from her looks, being frightened of herself.

She then thinks back to last week. What took place and how many tears she shed with Parvati. Last week was Lavender's funeral and the whole Gryffindor year was there. Everyone went up to say a little something they remembered about her.

--Flashback--

"Lavender was a great girl. She tried her best with everything. School, friends, and even boys." Hermione started. "She always came to me when she needed help with homework. We never were close friends, but we were friends and we will remain that forever. I will never forget Lavender Brown, proud Gryffindor at Hogwarts." Others then went up to share their thoughts.

At the end of the funeral, when people starting to get up to leave, Hermione stood up and walked quickly up to the podium for the second time that day.

"Will everyone please sit back down. I would like to say one more thing," Hermione started. When everyone sat back down and looked at her, she started up again. "I remember one song that Lavender loved to listen to, so I would like to share that song with you right now." She then walked over to a CD player and pressed play. The sound of a piano playing started and Hermione grabbed the microphone and walked to the middle of the church, and began singing with the piano music.

I've been looking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my souls on the other side.
All the little pieces falling,shatter.
Shards of me,
Too sharp to put back together.
Too small to matter,
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.
If I try to touch her,
And I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no more.

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.
Lie to me,
Convince me that I've been sick forever.
And all of this,
Will make sense when I get better.
I know the difference,
Between myself and my reflection.
I just can't help but to wonder,
Which of us do you love.
So I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe now...
Bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe,
I breathe-
I breathe no more.

By the end of the song, Hermione had many tears in her eyes. She went and shut off the CD player and returned the microphone. She then returned and sat between Parvati and Harry. She leaned on Harry's shoulder and cried her heart out.

--End Flashback--

Hermione looked into the water, but didn't see her reflection, but that of Ron. He was smiling at her and colour returned to his face. Hermione couldn't take looking at Ron right now, so she splashed at the water and it rippled and the image faded back to her own after it stilled once more. Hermione sat back and looked out over the lake. A song popped up in her head and she started singing it softly.

Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh oh please tell me this
Now would you die for the one you love? Hold me in your arms tonight

I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight

I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

I just want to hold you
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here tonight

I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

You can take my breath away
I can be your hero

After Hermione finished her song, her eyes were once again filled with tears. She pulled off her sweater and jumped into the lake. She swam around for a while before getting out. She didn't put her sweater back on and let the wind chill her to the bone. She was sitting facing the lake with her back on a tree when she head two tiny popping noises and a twig crack. She tried to reach quickly for her wand, but found out she was too numb and could barely move. She just sat there waiting for whoever it was to come out of the trees and find her.

When the two figures emerged from the trees, it was none other than Harry and Ron. They walked quickly to the lake and didn't spot Hermione. Ron then looked down and saw Hermione's sweater, and pointed this out to Harry. Harry then looked over where Hermione was and spotted her.

"Hermione!" Harry says shocked. He rushes over and notices Hermione's lips blue. He touches her lips and there cold. "You're as cold as ice Hermione!"

Ron brings her sweater over and is about to put it on Hermione when he sees her clothes wet. He pulls out his wand and mutters a few drying charms then a heating charm to warm Hermione up. He then picks up her sweater again and tells her to put it on. Harry then grabs Hermione and apparates her to the Burrow. Ron is already there and started a fire in the fireplace. Harry sits Hermione in front of the fire and grabs blankets and wraps them around her.

Sirius comes around the corner from the kitchen and spots the three teens."Hermione, nice of you to join us at last," Sirius says with a small smile. "You had us worried when you didn't answer any of our letters we sent you. Why didn't you answer?"

"I don't know," Hermione starts in a quiet voice. "When I didn't hear news about Ron, I thought the worst. I was giving up as well. I didn't leave my house, didn't leave my room, didn't read any letter. I stopped eating about 3 days ago as well. I just didn't feel like going on without Ron as my friend. You guys have been my family ever since my parents slipt up." And more tears come to Hermione's eyes.

Ron reaches over and pull Hermione into an embrace. "Ever since you two came to see me in St. Mungo's, I felt so bad about what I did. I never gave up after that visit. I wanted to live, for Ginny, for you, for Harry, for everyone. I will always be here for you Hermione. I'm not going anywhere, anytime soon," Ron tells Hermione softly. Hermione pulls a smile and the tears turn to ones of joy.

Sirius quietly gets up and leaves the room to let the trio have some time alone. A few minutes later he comes back in with some food and gives it to Hermione. "Eat up Hermione," He says kindly. Then he leaves again.

Harry and Ron help Hermione eat all the food she was given. Hermione then looks up at Ron with a confused face.

"Ron, when did you get out of St. Mungo's?" Hermione asks.

"A few days ago. We were trying to reach you but you wouldn't answer our letters or our phone calls. So finally we decided to just go get you." Ron tells her.

"That was you who called?" She asks shocked, thinking it was her muggle friends.

"Yeah, Harry called like 10 times, but your mom or dad would say your busy and couldn't come to the phone."

"Oh, I told them I didn't want to talk to anyone, to tell them I was busy for a while." Hermione says while blushing.

"That's alright Hermione, just don't do it again. We were so worried about you," Harry says. "Hey, Hermione, when me and Ron were talking before we went to get you, I told him about how you can really sing. So, you want to sing something for him?" Harry asks with a twinkle in his eye.

"Yeah, please Hermione?" Ron asks pleadingly.

Hermione blushes furiously before nodding her head. "Can I have a glass of water first, and have time to think of a good song?"

They both nod their head and Harry gets up to get a glass of water. When he comes back, Sirius, Tonks, Minerva, Remus, and Moody follow him.

"Did you really have to get them as well Harry?" Hermione asks. Harry laughs and nods his head. She shakes his head at Harry and thinks a minute longer before beginning to sing.

You look at me
Curious what I'm made of
Sugar or steam
And what kind of man I love
What I believe
What I know and what I crave
All my pet peeves
Where I've shed and when I stain
Do you know

Cause I'm not here to be around
And be that girl that you forget about
Cause all I want is just to be a song
That you can feel longer than just right now
So come on baby let me be the girl
That you can count on to rock your world
And then you'll see there's so much than curves
And then you'll see that you and me belong

Do you know my vice
And how to get under my skin
Just what I like
And where I want you to begin
Do you know my middle name
And where I'm sensitive the most
That each night I pray
And do you think I fit that mould
Do you know

Cause I'm not here to be around
And be that girl that you forget about
Cause all I want is just to be a song
That you can feel longer than just right now
So come on baby let me be the girl
That you can count on to rock your world
And then you'll see there's so much than curves
And then you'll see that you and me belong

You and me belong
You and me belong

Cause I'm not here to be around
And be that girl that you forget about
Cause all I want is just to be a song
That you can feel longer than just right now
So come on baby, let me be the girl
That you can count on to rock your worldAnd then you'll see there's so much than curves
And then you'll see that you and me belong
You and me belong
You and me belong

After Hermione finished singing, she opened her eyes, and everyone was smiling at her. Harry started clapping and everyone joined in.

"That was really good Hermione. You really do have a voice," Ron says with a huge smile on his face.

After everyone went to bed, Hermione was sitting looking at the fire when Ron comes back downstairs. "Going to bed or what?" He asks quietly.

"Oh, yeah, soon I guess," I say startled.

"You ok?" Ron asks concerned.

"Just thinking,"

"Want to talk about it?"

"Well, I was so worried about you Ron, I thought I lost one of my best friends." Hermione say with a tremble in her voice.

"Well, as you can see, I'm not gone. I don't plan on going anywhere soon, so don't let your fears get to you," Ron says softly while embracing Hermione. "Thank you Hermione, for showing me the way to live again."

After their conversation, Hermione falls asleep in Ron's arms and he carries her up to bed, and goes to bed himself, glad to be alive.
