Dislaimer: Well I think that anyone who still ships Harry/ Hermione after this book needs to go back and REREAD! -J.K.R.

Harry and Ginny were the first to reach the Burrow. They opened the door, causing the whole Weasley family and Granger family to stand up and start asking questions. However, they fell silent when Ron entered the kitchen carrying Hermione. He pushed past everyone and marched upstairs. Molly and Arthur came with him followed by Harry. Ron entered his old room and laid Hermione down on the bed. She was unconscious. Molly gasped when she saw Hermione's legs. They had been cut when she had broken the hospital window to get out.

"What happened?" Ron ignored them, tending to her wounds. Harry remained quiet.

"What happened, Ron? We looked all over the place and couldn't find her." Ron finally spoke.

"You need to leave."

"Ron can we..."

"Just leave." Molly walked over.

"Ron, Hermione needs-" Ron rounded on all of them his eyes blazing.

"GET OUT!"

"What do you think happened to her?" Alicia asked. George wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer, shrugging. Bill turned to Harry and Ginny, who had been quiet for the passed hour.

"Where did you find her?" Ginny looked up.

"The railroad." Molly was shocked.

"How did she get that far?" Ginny shook her head.

"I don't know… Ron wouldn't tell us what she saw." Everyone looked at her.

"What she saw?" Fluer asked. Ginny never got to answer because the kitchen door slammed open and Ron marched in, enraged. He slammed his fist on the counter.

"You have to tell her." Arthur shook his head.

"You know the rules. Dumbledore says-"

"I don't give a rat's ass what Dumbledore said! Hermione almost died!" Molly stood up.

"What?"

"Hermione almost got hit by a train because she thought that bloody cat was still alive!"

"Crookshanks?" Ginny asked. Ron gave out a cry of frustration. He pointed to Hermione's parents.

"You told her that Crookshanks ran away. She ran all the way to the railroad, chasing after a hallucination! She still thinks that I let her cat get hit by a train. She didn't even see a train!" Mr. Granger stood up.

"We are doing this for her own safety. Hermione wouldn't be able to handle what happened to her." Ron looked angry. His eyes were blazing and his ears were growing redder by the minute.

"SAFETY!" he screamed. "Hermione almost died and all you're all worried about is how she'll react to find out that the past few years have been a lie!" Mr. Granger grew to his full height. It seemed to everyone else that the two were going to battle it out.

"She doesn't have to know!" Ron advanced on the man.

"So you expect her to go on dreaming about stuff that actually happened. Hallucinate about people who are dead and not do a thing! Hermione deserves to know!"

"I deserve to know what?" Everyone whirled around to see a pale Hermione standing at the kitchen door. Ron turned to her parents. There was a silence for a minute then her mother got up.

"Nothing. We were just discussing when you would be able to go back to work." Hermione nodded.

"I heard yelling." Fred piped up.

"Quiddich. You know how we are." Hermione didn't look convinced, so Molly and Mrs. Granger walked up to her and began to lead her upstairs. Ron deflated. Everyone could see that all the fight had left him and that he was physically exhausted. Arthur tried to comfort his youngest son but Ron pulled away and went into the living room.

"Ron?" Ron turned to see his sister standing by the door. He turned back to the fire. He had been in the living room for at least a few hours in which everyone in the kitchen had to listen to several things break. Luckily, Molly had cast a silencing charm on the room Hermione was in, so she didn't hear anything. Ginny watched her brother for a moment. He looked broken. Every time he came over to the house he tried to get them to tell her, but this seemed to break him. She hated seeing him like this. Ron had lost so much.

"Ron, I'm sorry."

"Don't." She frowned. She came over and sat next to him. They were silent for a while until Ron began to speak.

"This is why I was so afraid to tell her how I felt… I didn't want to get hurt…" Ginny watched him, as so many emotions flitted across his face.

"Ron, you did what you could."

"But that wasn't good enough! Nothing I do will be good enough will it." He paused for a minute, trying to calm himself down. "They don't have to live with it. She doesn't remember. She doesn't know that I used to be apart of her life… that I used to mean something. Her life wasn't ruined Ginny," he turned to her. "Mine was… my seven years at Hogwarts were wasted. Those years of fighting were meaningless… five years of my life has been living hell holes. Nightmarish memories that keep coming back every time I close my eyes… those times we spent together, haunting and ruining everything I've ever known." He closed his eyes, painfully. "All she walked away with was grey eyes and a few scars. She's gone on with her life." Ginny took his hand.

"Then maybe you should go on with yours." He looked away from her.

"I loved her, Ginny. I still love her…" He looked back at Ginny. "I'm sorry I'm never here any more Gin. I just…" He stopped and got up. Ginny stared at him. There was a man who had gone through so much, yet masked it all. True in school, Ron had been one to let his emotions get the better of him and let them show once in a while, but now… he had changed… he had evolved from the tall, gangly, immature git he used to be into a tall, mature, silent man who had nothing worth living for. Who had lost everything and was now just waiting to die… Ginny wasn't stupid. Harry had been watching Ron carefully after the incident. Harry had even told her that he thought that Ron was considering suicide a few times during the last few months of school. Even during the summer after, the Weasley's kept a close eye on him. He had been silent and vengeful. Now he was silent and likely to explode at minute. Ron had changed.

"You're going to kill him aren't you?" Ron turned back to her.

"He deserves to die…" Ginny got up and took his hand.

"Gallagan got what he deserved. Killing his brother isn't going to make the pain go away." He looked at her through emotionless eyes.

"I know…" She was about to counter when Charlie burst in.

"Gabriel's missing!"

A/N: Anyone who hasn't read the interview in which she states what was written above in the disclaimer can go to this site: It also talks about the Ron/ Hermione romance and we hear her confirm it! YEAH!

http/ Thanks for reviewing

ronandmion4ever: All the suspense seems to be killing you. So I updated just for you! I know. I didn't exactly explain that clearly, so just to clear up everything for anyone who doesn't understand:

1. Gallagan is a last name. I didn't acutally give a first name to him in Fun and GamesSo Gallagan in Fun and games had a brother. The brother is the one that has Hermione. Gallagan the 1st is dead. His brother is getting even. More on who the woman is later.

2. Gallagan is killing off veelas. Full or half. If they have veela in them, Gallagan is going to kill them. That's what he's after.

Coconut Girl: Don't worry. Being oppinionated is a good thing. I'm the same. Ask my teachers!
