Chapter 4: Some Things Are Worth Fighting For.
Silent, akward feeling days had gone by, Slowly.. one by one. Often, Hermione and Harry had left to find horcruxes by themselves, leaving Ron in the tent, alone, usually without even saying they were leaving. Ron had almost not ever said a word, whenever any of them tried to come into contact with him, he'd grunt and roll over underneath his blankets, shuddering them off.
"Harry?" Hermione whispered, "Look here." She said pointing to a line in a book before handing it to him.
"Hermione, you don't have to whisper just because Ron isn't talking to us." Harry smiled taking the book from her hand.
"I know.." She paused, raising her voice slightly, "It just feels akward. Don't you think?"
"No, Not at all. I don't think he even deserves our company let alone us talking to him. It's his fault, Don't feel guilty, Hermione."
Hermione shook her head, "I don't."
"Good, because you shouldn't." Harry nodded before drawing his attention back to the book.
Hermione turned away for a while and watched over at Ron's bunk, some part of her hoped that Ron was willing to forgive and forget. Some part of her hoped that Ron was just playing, and wasn't at all angry with any of them. Some part of her, just hoped, it wasn't going to escalate.
Hermione's Flashback (shows Harry's POVish though.).
"Harry, Harry wake up, quickly!"
"Hurrm?" Harry mumbled sitting up in his bed. "What Ron?"
"We have to get out of here Harry, According to the daily prophet, and Mr Weasley, Rumours have been going around the order reporting voldemort's coming here any minute now, Harry, it's begun.." Hermione spoke with panic in her voice, constantly summoning and packing items they may need on the search, "Accio potion vile!" she called out.
"What? What do you mean it's begun -" Harry's mind suddenly became focused. "Where's Ginny?"
Ron grabbed Harry's arm, "What do you want my sister for, she can't come with us remember? We aint got long either so stop wasting time and get your act together mate."
Harry shook his head, "I'm dressed aren't I? I have to see Ginny. Give me two seconds, honest, I'll be in and out, quick as anything."
Ron rolled his eyes, "Alright, but hurry up."
Harry smiled before getting out of bed and darting out of the room and into Ginny's. Her door was slightly open and she was reading in bed.
"Harry?" She sat up slightly putting her book on her lap.
"The mission, Ginny, I'm leaving today, I can't waste time, I've just come to say goodbye, and all that." Harry cut to the chase.
"What!? Right now? But, just yesterday you said it wasn't going to be too soon. THIS IS SOON HARRY." She got up out of bed and walked towards him.
"I'm sorry Gin, I promise I had nothing to do with us leaving today, honestly, It's just happening." Harry tried to explain but was cut off by Ron, who had charged in..
"Come on Harry!" He shouted, "1 minute maximum, then get downstairs." Ron left the room with Hermione following, and waited for Harry at the bottom of the stairs.
"Ginny.. I'm sorry." Harry frowned, turning away from her.
"So, this is goodbye then, for how long?" Ginny looked down at the floor..
"As long as it takes.." Harry looked down at her and ran his fingers through her soft ginger hair, "Don't forget me."
"How could I, Harry?" Ginny smiled slightly choking on her words as a tear ran down her cheek.
"One last kiss, For old times sake?" Harry grinned before pulling Ginny into a long lasting gentle kiss, the same feeling that ran through him when he first kissed her was sent through him again. "Bye Ginny." He edged away from her slowly, reaching the door, and turning away as quickly as possible and heading down the stairs.
Hermione looked at Harry, she could sense something was wrong, and yet she had not heard a word from him since he came downstairs, "Harry, everything ok?"
Harry nodded in response, "Fine.."
"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Hermione asked
"Definately, some things are just worth fighting for." Harry smiled looking back up the stairs, even though there was nothing but an empty space to see him smile, he couldn't help but feel he wasn't losing Ginny.. Not for good anyway.
"Just promise me, Hermione, Ron.. whatever happens, we stick together?"
Hermione nodded, "Of course, that's what best friends are for."
Ron nodded also, "Yeah, I mean, if we weren't going to risk our lives for you, what kind of friends would we be?"
------------- End Of Flashback ------------
Hermione shook off the feeling of the past coming back to her and came back to reality.
"So, about the book." Harry resumed conversation, "What's Umbridges biography got to do with anything?"
Hermione shook her head, "Just about nothing, I just found it strange how she covered up every mistake she ever made with just about believable excuses."
Harry turned the page, "True."
The usual constant shuffling from Ron's corner of the tent had come to a hault.
"Maybe, he's asleep?" Harry shrugged, flicking over another page.
"Maybe.." Hermione turned her head towards Ron's bed, his dark silouhette lying across the bed, spread out, but looking very uncomfortable, as if he was lying on a bed of pins. "Or just deadly uncomfortable."
"Well, like they say, he's made his bed.." Harry paused, "He'll have to lie in it."
