Chapter 11

Ron knocked on the door and waited for Hermione to answer before he opened it.

"Come in." Hermione said thinking that it might be Tom again.

"I'm sorry." Ron said right when he walked in.

Hermione stood there surprised. She could not say anything right then.

Ron walked over near the bed where she was seated. "I wanted to say that before I said anything else." He tried to take her hand, but Hermione stepped away.

Shocked Ron put his hand down. "Could we at least talk?" He asked.

"I think we should." Hermione said sitting on the bed.

Ron took a seat as well a little distance from Hermione.

"I'm sorry I got as angry at Harry as I did." Ron said. "It was just a shock to see him standing there."

"I think it was a shock for all of us." Hermione said. "But I was so happy to see him."

Ron nodded. "I was just so angry at him for dying and watching how much it had hurt Ginny, especially after what Bill told us. But you were right I should have been happy to see him."

He paused for a moment. "Last night at the Burrow Harry and I talked. Then he told me that you had not come back. I was going to get up and search all of England for you. Then he reminded me how you could take care of yourself, but I was still worried. Please come home with us. I still want to marry you."

Hermione started crying right then. She couldn't control it in the least.

"It's okay. You don't have to cry." Ron said moving towards her.

Hermione moved off the bed and walked to the far wall. "I did something stupid. I don't think you would want to be married to me anymore."

"Don't be silly. Anything you did could not have been that bad." Ron tried to make his voice gentle.

"I was with Cormac McLaggen." Hermione said. "In here." She added.

"That Quidditch Player from Hogwarts!" Ron could barely contain himself. He had a sudden urge to get off of the bed.

"What did you do?" Ron had not expected this.

"We were going to. . ." Hermione started.

Ron started walking out right then.

"Please listen." Hermione begged.

Without an invitation Hermione unfolded the events of the night before.

After the drinks of the night Hermione had gone upstairs with McLaggen they stayed in the door way kissing for the longest time. It was quite distracting while Hermione dug around the pocket for her key.

When she found she immediately went to work on the door.

At the same time McLaggen went to work on her neck and the buttons on her robes.

Hermione's heart was racing. In her entire relationship with Ron they had never gone farther than kissing and close embraces. She had tried on several instances to instigate more, but he had always told her that he was going to be a gentleman in their relationship.

It felt bothersome at times. Hermione had asked if she was attractive to him. He had assured her that she was.

Right now it was being confirmed by another man who was willing to go as far as Hermione wanted.

After finally getting the door open she almost fell inside with McLaggen behind her.

"I don't think that is too proper." A voice at the door said.

They both turned around to see Tom standing there.

"What do you think your doing!" McLaggen shouted at Tom.

Tom must have been well trained with his wand. He shot a silencing spell at McLaggen before Hermione or him saw it.

Tom then turned his attention to Hermione. "I figured you came to this pub because of a man. That would be the only reason you were drinking like that. I've seen amateurs do shots better than what you did. I think the last thing you need is a man."

"How dare you." Hermione said drawing her wand.

Tom expelled it before she even finished pulling it out. "The best thing for you miss is bed. And don't try to Apparate anywhere, you'll splinch yourself. Don't go looking for this block either he's leaving. He's already caused enough trouble as it is."

Tom used his wand to charm McLaggen en out of the room.

He then shut the door locking it. "You have no right!" Hermione shouted at the door before kicking it.

That smarted. She cradled her hurt foot as she hobbled back to the bed to lie down. After a while she did fall asleep.

Ron stood there in the door way staring at Hermione.

He had scolded a bit when he heard she not only did one shot, but three. The entire time they were chasing after Voldemort's horcurxes she had never drank, not even as a pain killer when she was hurt.

Ron also thought about McLaggen's hands and face on Hermione, his Hermione. He would be killing him very shortly.

"I'm not going to ask you to forgive me." Hermione said. "Please believe me when I say that I do love you."

"Would you have slept with him?" Ron asked.

"I don't know." Hermione said. "I wasn't thinking straight. Tom did me a favor last night. I can't thank him enough for it."

Ron still stood in the door way.

"Last night I dreamed about you. About our wedding and that was when you found out about McLaggen and you. . ."

"I left you, in the dream." Ron tried to finish.

Hermione shook her head. "No, you used the Crucious curse on me."

That was when Ron approached her. He scooped her up in his arms. "I would never use that curse on you." He whispered in her ear.

"I'm so ashamed of myself." Hermione felt fresh tears hit her eyes.

"Please don't." Ron said. "Please come home. We will work this out. I promise that. No one will know. I won't even tell Harry."

"Yes," Hermione said. "I'll come home."

Ron led Hermione out the door and downstairs.

At the bar he saw Harry sitting with Ginny looking like they were in a very interesting discussion. Both their heads were tilted so their foreheads were resting on each others. Behind the bar Tom was getting some drinks ready.

Ron brought Hermione over to Harry and Ginny.

"I'm so glad you're alright." Ginny said hugging Hermione.

Harry put his hand on Hermione's shoulder. "You shouldn't scare us all like that."

"I know. I should have said where I was." Hermione said.

"Feeling better than, Hermione." Tom asked coming over.

"Loads, thank you." Hermione answered. "I won't be staying tonight. I'm going home."

"Thank you for taking care of her." Ron said to Tom. "She told me about last night."

Tom nodded. "Not at all. You four are welcome here."

They said their goodbyes to Tom and left the pub for the Burrow.

Molly was glad to see Hermione back and slightly scolded her for not telling anyone where she was going.

That evening Hermione and Ron sat outside of the house talking about how their relationship stood and what they did expect of each other. They had also agreed that they would keep all of their wedding plans.

Ron and Harry both ended up working on the Hogwarts reconstruction. Hermione though was the one that ended up with a job there. She would be an assistant professor to the Artimacy classes.

Ginny did attend her last year at Hogwarts. Every Hogsmeade weekend Harry would show and they would spend that time together. The rest of the time was spent in his Auror training.

Ron and Hermione were married right before Hogwarts was opened. They both lived in Hogsmeade so that Hermione would be closer to Hogwarts. Ron actually ended up working at the Hogsmeade branch of Fred and George's joke shop.

Ginny and Harry were married the day after Ginny had graduated. Harry bought a house in Ottery St. Catchpole so that Ginny would never be to far away from the Burrow.

They lived out there lives and normal and as peaceful as things could get in the Wizarding World.
