Chapter 6: Hermione Granger – Always be three

Hermione Granger settled back against the solid marble of Harry's gravestone. On the other side of the headstone there were thousands of red roses, all lain out for Harry, and millions of pieces of parchment underneath them, all bearing messages of continuous worship and heartbroken sorrow for the death of the Boy who Lived. But Hermione liked the reverse side of the headstone better. This was mainly because she could lean back against it, and it felt like Harry was there again, supporting her, like always. It was also because this opposite side, which no one ever paid any attention to, was like her, and Ron Weasley's own, private memorial site for their best friend.

While everyone else laid out roses and parchment as tributes for Harry, Ron and Hermione had simply carved words into the back of the stone, where no one else would ever bother to look. This way, it felt as though the three of them were together again. Hermione ran one finger over the words cut into the stone. She knew that wherever Harry was, this was the only thing, out of all of the actions done because of his death, which he'd want to see.

She missed him terribly. She knew that Ron did too, of course, but for some reason, the two of them never talked about Harry, or the night he'd died. "Harry! I miss you… I wish you were here…" she always said this, every time she visited his grave, "if you were, then you'd be able to help me figure out what's wrong with Ron… oh, what a silly thing for me to say! He misses you! Just like I do…." She sighed, and allowed the tears that had threatened her for the last 15 minutes, to fall. "Harry, it's so stupid! We always said we'd always be together… all three of us… I mean, you're here, I'm here… but why isn't he here!"

As soon as she'd said those words, she knew what Harry would say, she smiled, "yes, I suppose you're right… no matter where we are, we're always together, just us three…I was wrong to doubt it, but it's just so hard!", she jumped up suddenly, hearing someone call her name, "Hermione!", Ron was striding towards her. "Ron! What're you doing here?" she asked, as she hurried forwards to meet him. He shrugged, "just thought I'd come see Harry…haven't been here in a while…" he stepped around to the back of the tombstone, where the words they'd engraved still stood out in the stone.

Silence stretched between them, before he glanced at his watch, and said, " I have to get going, I'll see you Harry, bye hermione." He turned then, and walked away. Hermione watched him go, frowning. She new he didn't really have to leave; he just didn't want to talk. "I suppose we'll just have to wait until he's ready, Harry," she murmured, "then maybe he'll understand you aren't gone, perhaps he'll finally see you're still with him, with us…" she smiled down at the words Ron had read, "and then, he'll realise that these aren't just words…" she indicated to the engraving on the back of the stone.

After a few minutes, she turned and hurried after Ron. It was time to get him to finally see that the words were true. As she rushed off, she glanced back, and although she couldn't see the writing, from this far away, she still understood the words perfectly. And now it was time for Ron to understand them to.

'No matter what you do, no matter where you may be, I hope you'll always remember, that it will always be us three. It will always be us three; we will always be together, because not even death can separate us, we will stay this way forever. This is how it is, I'm glad now that you can see, that even though it's hurting, it'll always be just us three. So now you know, and you don't have to cry; just because our spirit was broken, that doesn't mean it died. We'll stay this way for eternity and beyond, standing tall and proud forever, we will always be three, forevermore, and I promise we will face it all together.' Those engraved words were she and Ron needed. Couldn't he see that?

So, did ya like it? Please RR! Ron's chapter coming soon…. adios
