*Hermione's POV*
We entered the room of requirements and it changed into the Burrow's living room. I smiled at my surroundings. It felt warm and loving here. I knew I could feel safe when I was at the Burrow. I turned to see that Fred was already beside me. I smiled at him as he led me to a seat. It was my favorite chair. He sat on the arm of it. We both looked over to Ron and Harry.
"You can come and sit. I asked the room for somewhere that we all feel safe and can talk. I guess it knew right on where I was thinking." I explained.
They took a seat in on one of the couches. Ron did not look at me. I sighed and asked,
"Ron can you please look at me?"
He looked up and said,
"Hermione, every time I look at you I think of everything that has happened. I got your parents killed. How can I ever look at you again without thinking about that?"
"Ron, I forgive you. It was not your fault. You were under a spell. A powerful spell. I do not blame you for my parents. Sure I was anger at you at first but I was grieving about it and did not see the signs of you being in trouble. What type of friend am I for not seeing that?" I told him.
It was true. I did not hate Ron. He was one of my best friends. We have been through so much together. He was under the impero curse. I blame myself more because I did not see the signs of him in trouble. I should of done something to prevent it. Sure we have our fights but Ron will always be my best friend.
"Hermione, it was not your fault. You have so much going on already. I should have been there for both of you. You two are my family and I was not there for either of you." Harry spoke up.
I quickly got up from my chair and that made Fred fall into it. I did not care right now. I ran over to my two best friends and comfort them. I gave them both a hug and kneeled in front of them and said,
"Now you both listen to me. First Harry, none of this is your fault. You just survived killing Voldemort and now you are trying to get a normal life you deserve. There is no way we blame you for any of this. Now Ron, you did not do anything wrong. I do not blame you and I know my parents do not blame you. You were under the impero curse. One of the most unforgivable curses ever. Yes, we all did not see the signs but that is in the past. I miss both of my best friends. We need to move forward or none of this matter. We need to create a future for us. Because look around we are alive and safe now. There is no more running and fighting. We can finally have the life that we all deserve even if it wasn't the life we wanted."
I gave them one of my famous lectures. Harry smiled at me and I turned to Ron who has tears almost coming out of his eyes. I whipped a few away and he spoke up and said in a shaky voice,
"We are so lucky to have you as a best friend/sister Hermione. If it wasn't for you all those years we would have died already by the troll in our first year. You have been there for us and I don't know how grateful and lucky to have you. Thank you for forgiving me. I want our friendship back and I AM SO SORRY FOR EVERYTHING THAT I SAID OR DID TO YOU!"
Ron wrapped his arms around me and gave me a huge hug. I calmly said to him,
"Ron, we are lucky to have each other. We are meant to be friends. I forgive you and now we just need to look forward in this all together."
He nodded and we heard from behind us,
"That is great but can someone please help me."
We all turned to see Fred stuck in the chair. We could not help but laugh at that. I got up and helped him up. He gave me a hug and whispered,
"Are you alright?"
I nodded and whispered back,
"Thanks for being here. It really helped knowing you were here. Even if you didn't say anything."
Harry made a couching noise from behind us and we turned around. The guys looked embarrassed about being here when Fred and I were sharing a moment. At least I thought it was a moment.
"You two are such guys. Come on let's get something to eat." I said linking my arms with Harry and Ron.
I turned my head back and saw Fred nodded. He was alright with me leaving him behind. I was so lucky to have him in my life. We waked into the Great Hall and everyone was staring at us.
"At least we still know how to make an entrance." Harry said with a smirk.
I gave him a swat and sat down between them both. Everyone around the school started to whisper. We did not care what they were going to say. We were friends again and that all that mattered.
