The Island Chapter Five: Verity
AN: Well this isn't really going anywhere at the moment. I know exactly how it's going to end but I'm not quite sure how to get there yet … don't worry though, I'll be OK.

Hermione was still on the edge of her bed. She hadn't been able to go down again just yet, but now she felt a bit stronger. She stood up and walked quietly downstairs.
Ron was sitting in an armchair. Harry was nowhere to be found.
"Ron," she began, but then she shut up because she couldn't think of anything intelligent to say for once. Ron looked up.
"I'm really sorry, Hermione, I need to explain properly," he said.
"What's to explain?"
"That Lavender kissed me and I didn't want her to. That she wanted to start us again and I didn't."
Hermione looked at him. And suddenly, an unexplained feeling washed over her. He was telling the truth. Somehow, she knew that.
She smiled and ran over to him. Ron stood up and they hugged tightly.
"I'm sorry I doubted you," Hermione whispered.
"I'm sorry I gave you a reason to," Ron replied.
They broke apart as Haz came in.
"So - you believe him then?" he grinned.
"Yes, of course I do," Hermione replied, "He never actually liked Lavender. I should've known that."
AN: Just a short chapter to get them all friends again. Anyway, more soon!
