You! Still reading? Good. Reviewed yet? That's fine, review whenever you want. This story is complete; I posted all five chapters at once. Yep. 'Cause I'm that awesome.

Hermione is luckier this time. It's cold outside, but two more Horcruxes have been located and destroyed. Hermione is supposed to know how many have been ruined, but at this point she forgets, especially now that Ron is so badly injured.
She hadn't thought much about Sectumsempra since Harry cast the curse on Draco, but she thinks about it now that she isn't allowed into the makeshift hospital room at Hogwarts, where Ron lays. She looks in the bathroom mirror, above the sink in which she has just lost her insides, to see a colorless face looking back at her. The hair is limp and wavy and sticks to the face.
In the dark, the hair is colorless too.

Ron realizes who he should have worried about now, but he doesn't care as he lays in bed, aching, and all bandaged up. He can't see any of his friends—they're not being allowed in—but he knows how they feel. Harry, as sad as he is for Ron's injury, must feel some sort of revulsion. He's been yelling since the last battle about the fact that no one is allowing him to defend himself. Sectumsempra had been intended for Harry, not for Ron.
He looks at the little door outside of his room a lot as he lies in his four poster bed. He's slept here for the past seven years, and wanted to be in the bed, to sleep, but now he would rather be somewhere else.
Ron tries to get up, and it's painful, but he manages. He even makes it past the door, down the stairs, through the common room, and out of the entrance hole, and down the empty hallway, towards the Great Hall.
He smells bacon, and realizes how hungry he is, and straightens up, now walking at a trot.
And as he enters the Great Hall, a limp-haired female he barely recognizes exits it, and for a second, with all the gashes and bandages and bruises, she barely recognizes him. But upon turning back to look, both realize that they know the other, and Ron realizes that he's hungry for more.
