"Mione?" Ron whispered. After realizing that she was indeed asleep, he moved off the couch and laid Hermione down and covered her with a blanket.
"Sleep tight, my Mione." Ron whispered, kissing her cheek lightly before he wandered up the stairs to his old bedroom.
As Ron climbed the stairs up to his bedroom, Hermione laid in the spot in pure bliss. 'Sure' she thought, 'He did leave me at that damned ward, but, he did it because he loved me, right? Ok, obviously, he did. But, after seven years… could he still love me? Ok, dumb question. Come on, Hermione! Think normally. Alright, yes he did it because he loved me, and he could possibly still love me. Wait! Why am I analyzing this?' While Hermione busied herself with an argument of the mind, she unknowingly walked herself to a familiar place.
'No, no. He can't still love me. I tried to off myself for Merlin's sake! Gods! What am I to do?' Hermione's thoughts were cut short when Ron abruptly opened his bedroom door.
"Mione, what are you doing?"
"What? Oh, this? I'm just, or was just thinking."
"About what?" Ron questioned her, eyeing her skeptically.
"I'm not… You don't need to…" Hermione trailed off.
"Mione, do you need to talk? Are feeling like… desperate again? Lonely? Depressed?"
"No! It's not that, Ronald. If you really would like to know, I was wondering why in the world you kissed me! I couldn't get back to sleep not knowing if you had any left-over feelings!" Hermione snapped shooting straight towards the stairs, leaving Ron in a white haze of mixed thoughts.
After regaining his composure, Ron followed after Hermione down the stairs and into the living room.
"Hermione!" He whispered. "I was only asking because I care."
"Really? Is that why you dumped me in that hell hole at St. Mungo's and then never wrote or visited me until recently?!" Hermione half screamed.
"Oh, sod off it, Granger!"
"Sod off?!" Hermione looked like she had been slapped in the face. "How dare you tell me to 'sod off'! I'm not the one who…"
"Yeah yeah yeah, Hermione! I just heard it! You're not the one who dumped me at a damned hospital to help me with a horrible problem that I had!" Ron bellowed. "You're not the one who was so damned worried that you couldn't see my face because it hurt so bad to know that I did that to myself! Yeah, Hermione! You're not the one who was in so much pain after it happened!"
"I'm not the one who was hurting?! How da…"
"Yeah, 'how dare I!'"
"How dare you, Ronald! I was the one with the problem! So, you can go take your little speech about how my it pained you to see me in such a state, how much you hurt after it happened, Ronald, and shove it up your good for nothing, cheating ass!" Hermione screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Cheating?" Ron asked.
"Yes, cheating! I saw you… you and Lavender!"
"Me and Lavender?!"
"Yes, you insufferable, thick prick! You and Lavender were behind the front of the school snogging the daylights out of each other, a month after the final battle!"
"I never did such a thing!"
"Quit lying!"
"I'm not, I loved you, Hermione! I still do! I would never do anything to hurt you intentionally!"
Meanwhile, up in Ginny and Harry's bedroom, Ginny woke up to the sound of what else, but Hermione and Ron's row.
"Harry, wake up." Ginny whispered in fast tones.
"I don't wanna!" Harry moaned.
"Harry! Ron and Hermione are fighting!"
"Leave them be."
"Fine… but if Mum and Dad are woke from them, it'll be your head!"
"Haha. G'night."
"Yeah, right." Ginny snorted.
&&&&
"Hermione! How dare you accuse me of cheating!"
"I saw it!" Hermione screamed, tears streaming down her face, her voice scratched from her screams.
"Hermione… I would never…"
"No, don't… I saw…" Hermione cried.
"I never. I was with Harry and Ginny. I loved you."
"Yeah?" Hermione scoffed. "Well, I guess you'll have to prove it." Hermione said harshly as she walked out of the room and swiftly passed a very disgruntled looking Mrs. Weasley, whom obviously was shook from sleep by the screams of the young adults.
"What is going on?" Mrs. Weasley asked Ron accusingly as she chased after a very broken Hermione, leaving Ron to gather his confused thoughts.
