Chapter 16- Sick

For once Hermione was the last one awake. She realized this because Ron wasn't next to her. They all let her sleep in. It was 12 when she looked at the clock. She sat up and felt her head throbbing. She moaned and got out of bed. She was cold so she took a hoodie of Ron's and put it on before tied her hair up. She walked down stairs and found everyone on the couch. Ron was wearing his pajamas too and he had a sweatshirt on. From the look on his face Hermione could tell that he didn't feel well either. He had a cup in his hands and was grimacing as he drank it. Ginny and Harry were on the small couch away from Ron. Ginny left the room when Hermione sat down. Ginny came back a few minutes later with a cup of tea.

"Thanks." Hermione sneezed. Ginny nodded and sat back down.

"I'm starting to think that I wasn't such a smart idea to have let it rain." Ron muttered to Hermione before he started coughing.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Hermione said as she took a sip of her tea. She almost spit it out but managed to swallow it. "What is this stuff?" She asked with a grimace on her face.

"My mum makes it when we get sick. It really does help though." Ginny told her. Ron nodded in agreement. Hermione held her nose and started drinking. When she finished it she placed her cup on the table in front of her. She felt a little bit better but not completely. She leaned her head back on the couch and coughed. "Do you want anything to eat?" Ginny asked Ron and Hermione.

"Yeah." Ron said and Hermione nodded.

"Ok, I'll make soup then. Harry, come help me." Harry stood up and followed Ginny into the kitchen. Hermione pulled the blanket from the back of the couch off and covered herself and Ron with it. She was just about to lean her head on Ron's shoulder when they sneezed at the same time. They both laughed but then stopped because it made their headaches worse. She groaned and leaned on his shoulder. He put an arm around her and they watched Spongebob. Ginny and Harry came back a while later with a tray of chicken noodle soup, more tea, water and, some muggle medicine. They also had another blanket. "I'm not sure what these medicines do but Harry said they're enough and I brought more of the tea."

"Thanks mum." Hermione joked. They were covered with another blanket and handed their medicine. Ron looked at the two pills in his hand.

"Are these safe?" He asked Harry. Harry laughed.

"No they're poison. I thought I'd try and kill you because I was bored." Harry said sarcastically.

"Oh, that was nice of you." Ron said. "Am I supposed to chew them?"

"No you swallow them with water." Hermione told her demonstrating how to take the medicine.

"Oh…k" Ron did the same. "I don't feel any better."

"It takes a while but you should feel a bit better soon." Harry said.

"That doesn't help me now." He complained. Ginny handed him his soup and he started eating it. "This tastes the same as mum makes."

"Well I did use the same recipe." Ginny said as she handed Hermione soup. Hermione started eating too. She noticed that it didn't taste like the tea, it was good. When they finished with their tea and soup Ginny and Harry cleared the bowls away. Hermione rested her head on the back of the couch and Ron's head was resting on Hermione's shoulder. She noticed that he had fallen asleep. She kissed his forehead and looked back at the television.

"So tell us again, Hermione, how you two ended up in the rain." Harry said with an evil smile on his face.

"We got stuck in it." Hermione lied.

"It wasn't raining that hard. You had to have been in the rain for a while to get sick like this." Harry said. Hermione blushed a crimson color.

"We went to see the sunset on the beach and then we kind of ignored the fact that it was raining." Hermione said quietly. Harry started laughing. Ginny thought for a moment before realizing it. She began laughing too. "It's not that funny." Hermione frowned.

"Yes it is." Harry laughed. "You two were snogging at the beach and it started raining so you got sick." Ginny had tears in her eyes as Harry spoke.

"If you don't shut up I just might start coughing on you and then we'll see who's laughing." Harry buried his face in a pillow and laughed while Hermione scowled at him. She might have laughed if her head didn't hurt too much. When Harry finally got his laughing under control he looked up and started smiling. He opened his mouth to speak but Hermione cut him off. "Don't you dare say anything about it."

"I wasn't going to." He said.

"Well then what were you going to say?" Hermione snapped. Harry thought for a moment.

"I was just wondering if you felt any better?" Harry asked.

"Yeah sure." She replied. "You know you two don't have to stay. You can go swimming or something."

"Are you sure?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah we're fine, I think I'm just going to rest." Hermione replied. Harry and Ginny both stood up.

"Well we'll be outside if you need us." Ginny said.

"If I were you I wouldn't snog until you feel better. It might make you sicker." Harry laughed. Hermione looked around for something to throw at him and all she saw was the remote. She took it and chucked it at him. He ducked and it hit the wall. The remote broke into pieces and there was a mark on the wall. She frowned.

"Uh, do you think that maybe you could get your wand and fix that for me?" Hermione asked in an "I'm sorry" voice.

"You try and kill me and now you want me to fix it." Harry questioned.

"Please!" She begged. Harry sighed.

"Alright but next time you want a favor don't try and kill me first." He went upstairs after Ginny. A few minutes later they came down in their bathing suits. Harry had his wand in his hand and fixed the remote. He tossed it back to Hermione who caught it.

"Thanks." She said.

"Right." Harry replied. They left the house and Hermione looked over at Ron. He looked uncomfortable. Hermione moved over and then moved him so he was lying down. She fixed the covers and then lay down next to him. She then picked up the fixed remote and started flipping through the channels. She couldn't find anything to watch. She felt Ron stirring next to her.

"Morning sunshine!" She said in a sarcastic cheeful voice.

"Mm yeah." He said obviously still tired.

"Feel any better?"

"Not too much you?"

"Same." Ron sat up and noticed the wall.

"What happened?"

"I threw the remote at Harry and he ducked." Hermione explained.

"Why?"

"He asked how we ended up sick and then he started laughing. He said that we shouldn't snog until we felt better because we might get sicker."

"Oh." Ron said. He started coughing.

"So I take it we're going out another night?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah I guess." Ron said with a frown. Hermione could tell he was disappointed.

"Maybe if we both feel better later we can still go out." She suggested hopefully.

"Yeah." Ron said with a little hope. He lay back down and stared at the television. The next thing Hermione knew Ron was snoring. She smiled over at him and pulled the covers up around him. She turned back to the TV and soon fell asleep herself. When she woke up a few hours later. Ron was still asleep and Harry and Ginny had not come back in yet. She felt much better but she still had a headache. Hermione sat up and looked at Ron. He had really wanted to go out tonight. Despite her headache she stood up and went into the kitchen. Sneezing, she pulled out the phone book and looked for the restaurant number. She picked up the phone and dialed the number. After she ordered all of the food and told them to deliver it she went into the dinning room and set the table with the good plates. Then she set candles on the table. After she made sure everything was perfect in the dinning room she went out back. Harry and Ginny were lying on the lawn chairs and tanning although the sun wasn't too bright. Hermione walked in between them.

"Hey if you two do me a favor I promise I won't try and kill you." Harry sat up and looked at her.

"I don't know if I can trust you. That remote nearly took my head off." Harry said.

"Please. It's not for me it's for Ron." Hermione said.

"What can we do?" Ginny asked.

"Well Ron and I were supposed to go out tonight but since we're sick we kind of can't. Ron really wanted to and everything so I set the table and everything like ordering the food, so I was wondering if maybe you two could like go and get some ice-cream and possibly leave us alone for an hour." Hermione looked hopeful. Harry sighed and nodded.

"Yeah sure." Ginny smiled. "Come on Harry let's get going." They both got up and went into the house. Hermione smiled satisfied. Then she felt her headache and frowned. She went into the kitchen and got some more medicine. After swallowing them she went up to her room. Ginny was getting ready to go out and get ice cream with Harry. Hermione ignored the splitting pain in her head and sat at her vanity. She sneezed and picked up her brush. She brushed through her hair and put it back in a ponytail.

"So how do we get there?" Ginny asked.

"Just take a left out on the street and walk down for a few minutes until you reach the ice cream place. You know what, why don't you take this my phone number is programmed into it so if you need me just call." Hermione handed Ginny her cell phone.

"Thanks. Have fun." Ginny was about to hug Hermione but remembered that she was sick, so she said goodbye and left. Hermione made sure her hair was fine and sneezed again. She walked out into the hallway and down stairs. Harry and Ginny were leaving through the front door as she came into the living room. She took a look at Ron's face and realized what she forgot. She went into the kitchen and took the bowl of candy off of the kitchen table and transferred it to the dinning room table by Ron's seat. As she was double checking to make sure that she had everything the doorbell rang. She took the money off the counter and hurried to the door. She paid for all of the food and brought it back to the dinning room. Hermione ordered the food from an Italian restaurant so she set the pasta and other food onto the table. She threw the bags away and went into the living room to get Ron but didn't see him there. She walked into the dinning room and still didn't see him. After not finding him in the kitchen she called out his name.

"Ron?"

"Mione?" She heard his voice in the living room. She went into the living room and saw him standing there. "What are we doing?" Ron asked. "Where's Harry and Ginny?"

"Come on. We're having dinner. We can't go out because we're sick so I ordered food and brought it to us. Harry and Ginny agreed to go out for an hour." She took his hand and led him into the dinning room. He smiled at everything.

"You did all of this?" He asked.

"Yup! What do you think?"

"Like I said you never cease to amaze me." He gave her a kiss on the cheek and she led him to his seat. They sat down and Ron noticed the candy. He smiled at her again.

"So are you feeling any better?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah much better." Ron answered but then he turned his head and sneezed. "Like I said much better." Hermione laughed again. "Are you feeling any better."

"A bit but I've still got a headache." Hermione answered. Ron nodded.

"Yeah sorry about that."

"It wasn't your entire fault. I stayed out in the rain too."

"True, but we'll be better tomorrow. I've never been sick more than a day in my life. My mum always made that tea stuff."

"Good." They finished eating but were too tired to clean up. They went into the living room. Ron lay with his head on the arm of the couch and Hermione laid on him with her head resting on his chest. They were asleep within minutes. Ginny and Harry came back a half hour later. They walked into the dinning room first and saw the mess then into the living room and noticed them sleeping.

"You know if they weren't sick I'd wake them up and make them clean up that mess." Ginny exclaimed angrily as she walked into the dinning room. Harry laughed at her. "What?" She snapped.

"You remind me of your mum sometimes." Harry said. Ginny scowled at him and begun to clean up the mess. After a minute she turned angrily to face him.

"I love my mum and all but I don't want to be her. I'm a different person than her. I know that you love to be compared to your dad and all but not everybody wants to be their parents." Harry sighed and sat down in a chair.

"I kind of know what you mean. I've never met my dad so I don't know what he was like. Sirius and Lupin told me about him so I thought it was a good thing. Then in 5th year when I had to take Occulemy Snape left and the pensive was kind of out so I looked in it…" Harry told her everything he had seen in the pensive and about his father and what Sirius and Lupin told him. "…I've never told anybody though." He finished.

"Well I won't tell anybody either but you know it's like Sirius and Lupin said, they were 15. I know your dad was a good person all around because you wouldn't be if he and your mum weren't. I've heard it too." She stood up and put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Sorry about before. I didn't know it bothered you."

"It's ok. I guess it is true though. Sometimes I do act like her but I can't help it, I am her daughter." Harry laughed and pulled her down on top of his lap. He kissed her and she dropped all of the stuff she had been cleaning and wrapped her arms around his neck. Harry was feeling something new, he had been able to tell Ginny something that he had kept from his closest friends and not just because Snape told him not to.
