AN: Wow, This is my third update on this story today! I rock! dances I'm apparently not supposed to reply to reviews but I'll just say thanks to Ash Ellie, MIDNIGHT-PIXIE, Daisy.Duke01, and xAngelxofxMusicx for their reviews in the last couple of chapters. I don't know how to make these chapters any longer! I am trying! I promise!
Disclaimer: ME NO OWN HARRPY POTTER! Clear:P
And now, for chapter 8!
"Well all we can do now is wait." Hermione said to Ron as they sat back down at the campsite. It was just after dinner and all of the Indians were heading to their beds. Hermione and Ron stayed behind, sitting by the campfire.
"Do you think anyone saw the signal I made?" Ron said, turning to Hermione
"I sure hope so! I'm getting tired of being called a Queen!" Hermione replied
"Coulda fooled me! They way you smiled when they served you!" Hermione blushed at that which made Ron smile.
"So Hermione, what have you been doing all these years?" After an hour or two, Hermione had explained that she had been dating someone for a while, a muggle. He even proposed to her. "I just couldn't bring myself to say yes. As soon as he asked me, all I could see was you, with me. I just couldn't ever love him the way I love you! And that was when I realized that even after four years (AN at that point) that I still wanted to be with you and I could only ever love you!"
Ron wanted to say something right then, anything, but he couldn't think of anything right to say. He looked Hermione straight in the eyes. He knew he still loved her and he couldn't keep it a secret anymore.
"I love you" Ron said, almost too quiet to hear. This made Hermione blush and her smile grew wider than he had ever seen it.
"I-I love you too, Ron!" Ron smiled and leaned in to kiss Hermione gently. As Ron pulled away, Hermione pulled him back in for more, making it deeper than before. They sat there, kissing in the moonlight in the middle of who-knows-where but they didn't care because they had each other. When they finally broke apart, Ron looked at Hermione, brushing a stray piece of hair away from her eyes.
"I missed you, Hermione Granger, I really did!"
"I missed you too Ron!" Hermione replied kissing him softly on the lips again. She sat in front of him, leaning on his chest. Ron wrapped his strong arms around her and they fell asleep by the warmth of the orange flames in the fire, under the starry sky.
Hermione woke with a start. We're saved! She thought. Someone grabbed her arm rather harshly.
"Ow! Hey! Let me go!"
"I don't think so!" The was either still going or a new one had been made and in the fire light she could see about fifteen wizards in hooded cloaks, death eaters. Hermione looked around for Ron and saw that there were about 6 death eaters surrounding him. He had his wand out but Hermione didn't know how much longer he could keep them off him.
The Indians came out, wondering what all of the commotion was about. They wanted to help but were confused by the wands that the death eaters had. The Indians ran towards the death eaters. Hermione felt something heavy hit the back of her head and blacked out.
(AN: So that we don't miss out on the fighting, I am going to change it to Ron's POV. It will be right from when he woke up.)
Ron woke up, hearing voices in the darkness. Hermione was still sleeping so he let her lay there while he went to find out who was there. It was very dark, as the fire had long since gone out. Ron took out his want and said a spell to light the fire.
"Who's there?" Ron called out. There was no answer. Ron suddenly saw three cloaked figured walking straight towards him. They were here, the death eaters. They must have received the signal I sent out! Ron kept his wand out ready for anything. He could see Hermione standing up from where she had been sleeping and wanted desperately to go over to her but he was now surrounded by about 6 death eaters and had no way to escape.
The Indians were now coming outside to see what the commotion was. They brought out all of the weapons they owned and started shooting bows& arrows and knives and anything heavy or sharp they could get their hands on. There seemed to be about 30 death eaters by then, all with wands shooting nasty spells every which-way. Ron managed to cast the body-bind spell on about a dozen of the death eaters. The Indians seemed to be out of weapons and one by one started to either fall down or go back inside.
After an hour of fighting, Ron was left with 10 death eaters surrounding him and two Indians. Just as Ron thought there was no hope, he heard about a dozen 'pop's and looked over to see 12 aurors standing ready with their wands out. Immediately the ten remaining death eaters were stunned. Ron looked around for Hermione and saw her unconscious on the cold ground. Ron ran over to her. She was still breathing, just knocked out. Ron sat down beside her.
Ron sat there while the other aurors made sure to take this whole memory out of the Indians' heads. When they were done, one of the aurors had summoned a port key.
"Considering you and Miss Granger are unable to apparate right now, we have supplied you with a port key. It will take you straight to St. Mungo's. Please go, now!"
Ron nodded and picked up Hermiones unconscious body. He held onto the port key and felt that odd pulling sensation in his navel as they we plunged into darkness. A minute later, Ron was standing in front of a secretary's desk in the waiting room. The nurse on duty seemed to be expecting them.
"Ahh! Mr. Weasley! Welcome back to the wizarding world! Now what has happened to Miss Granger?" Ron explained as much as he knew. The nurse nodded and led Ron who was still carrying Hermione into a hospital room with a bed.
"Miss Granger can stay in here. She seems to have just been knocked unconscious. There are only a couple of scrapes that we will need to clean. I am going to have to change her out of those clothes too!" The nurse said, half talking to herself. Ron looked at her expectantly as if he was supposed to do something. The nurse then realized that Ron was still standing there.
"Oh, my, Mr.Weasley, you must be exhausted. Please, take a bed here tonight! Let me check you over for any injuries too!" Ron agreed and settled into a hospital bed beside Hermione's. The nurse cleaned up a couple of his scrapes and closed his curtains so that he could get some rest. Ron drifted off to sleep, more comfortable than he had been in two weeks.
AN: takes a big looooong breath THERE! I Finished that chapter. I think it is long enough! What do you think? Haha. At first I wasn't going to do Ron's POV and just have it explained later but I thought this would be more fun! I hope you liked it! R&R! Wow! This is my third update in less than 24 hours! YAY! Go me! does a dance
