Chapter 13: Ron's Comeback

Hermione saw Draco, once again, by the windowsill as she opened up her eyes. She felt her stomach go topsy-turvy, because she was anxious about what might happen. The night before was a very unraveling and onerous one. Knowing that Draco had the same feelings made her want him even more. But the fact that she's getting married in a couple days prevents her from doing so. Today would be Ron's arrival, she thought. I should be zealous. But why am I not?

Not only does she want to objurgate herself, she also felt that she was in a very muddled state. She wanted to explain to Draco her real feelings, because she couldn't bear the sight of him grieving because of her; although, it will only make things worse. She loves him but she shouldn't; she's getting married. And he loves her but he has a wonderful girlfriend that loves him. Of course something's going to happen if she doesn't put a stop to her insanely, fortuitous rumination regarding her uncontrollable feelings for Draco. This must come to an end she thought. I shouldn't be hurting people. I shouldn't hurt neither Ron nor Draco. But, she already made a poignant Draco Malfoy.

Draco stared outside, once again. It was his daily routine when he's at the hospital, because he wanted to muse about things, wonderful or not. But, right now, all he thought of were his and Hermione's confabulation last night. He couldn't believe he actually admitted his feelings for her. It was very foolish of me to have done that he thought. Not only did I get a response I didn't want, I also lowered my pride for the very first time. The whole reason why I'm bloody here is so I could get her back but that seems impossible. Hermione is not a sinister person who would abandon her groom in the middle of her wedding. Or will she? I'm hoping that she will but I know she won't.

His musing paused. Why am I acting like this? I wasn't like this during my first year at Hogwarts. Nor in my second year. I was strong and vacuous. Maybe father was right about teaching me to be emotionless. Maybe having no emotions would be better than having them at all, because if I didn't feel a thing, this won't be hurting so much or even be happening! Maybe I should remain as the first and second year Slytherin boy once I was. Maybe? But I…he paused again, realizing a sudden thought. Why and how did I fall in love with her in the first place? He couldn't find an answer.

After so, he heard a grumbling sound in the lavatory. Ron doesn't deserve Hermione, he thought. He wouldn't have come back if I didn't insist that he should. If she wants his presence more than mine, she'll have it. What matters is that she gets well. Then, the lavatory doors opened and out exited Ronald Weasly.

Ron had arrived quarter an hour ago to the hospital as he found Draco and a sleeping Hermione alone. Even if he was ecstatic, he finally came back, he was fretful of how terrible Hermione's state is so as the events and happening that's been going on while he's away. Ron's final words to Hermione were still in his mind and he was hoping Hermione followed it. "Malfoy, thank you for coming to Hermione's aid," Ron said gratefully.

He nodded, "It's no big a deal." Somehow, he sensed Ron wanted him gone so he could have some time alone with Hermione. He didn't want to but eventually he was forced to do so. "Uhhm.. I'll go ahead." He bade him and when Ron thought he would say nothing more, Draco, out of no where uttered, "You're a very lucky man Weasely. Congratulations."

Ron couldn't understand why he said that but nevertheless, he said, "Thank you."

Hermione, who was surprised to hear Ron's voice, heard it all. She heard the conversation of the two people making her euphoric and making her life a complicated Sam hill (hell).
