Chapter 5: Lost.
Disclaimer: Same old thing… J.K. Rowling can take all the credit for the characters…
" Ron! Ron, where are you?"
"Over here. I'm just doing some exploring."
"We don't have time to go exploring, we need to be rescued." Hermione was searching for rocks along the ground to scrape together and make a fire.
"We need to be sure that this is really an uninhabited island though!" Ron explained.
"Wow Ron! That's a pretty big word for you!"
"Oh shut up!" Ron said defensively, " just because I don't spend every waking moment reading doesn't make me dumb!" He started looking around for rocks as well to help start a fire. Hermione gathered some dry leaves and started to scrape two rocks together creating sparks.
"Wow! Hermione you sure do know a lot about the muggle ways!" Ron said sounding impressed.
"Duh Ron! I was born a muggle remember?" "Oh yeah" The fire started and Ron went into the forest to see if he could find any more wood.
By the time sunset came, the fire was very tall and hot enough to cook a meal. Ron came back from the water's edge with two fish in his hand to cook for dinner.
"Since when can you fish?" Hermione asked Ron sounding a little confused.
"Shut up! It's a fan fiction, I can do anything in fan fictions!"
The two sat in silence while Hermione cooked the fish. When the fish was cooked they sat there eating in silence until Ron couldn't stand it anymore.
" So how's your relationship with Terry going?"
"Ron what are you on about? As I said before I don't have a relationship with Terry. I never did and never will. As a matter of fact I don't think I ever could date anyone else." Hermione sounded like she was about to cry.
"Why not?" That was all Ron could think of to say.
"Because, Ron. I love you. I always have. Not that you care though. You probably have a much prettier girlfriend back at home."
"That's not true! Of course I have tried to date some people but I didn't like them the same. I would have stayed with you but you had to ruin it."
"Terry was drunk that night, Ron. It's not like I pounced on him the moment you left! He took control of me but I put up the fight after you left. If you don't want to believe me, fine. I'm going to bed."
"Fine!" Ron yelled back. Hermione curled up into a ball on the ground with her back to Ron. That had got Ron thinking. What if Hermione really is telling the truth? (AN: duh!) Should I apologize? Would she forgive me?
"Hermione?" he whispered. But she seemed to be asleep already. That's okay. I'll tell her in the morning.
But When Ron woke up the next morning he looked over only to find Hermione missing…
