Wow. This story was only going to be one chapter; seems one actually means five!
And yes, once again in one of my stories Ron and Draco are friends and Ron is going to break him out of Azkaban. ^^ You know it's meant to be! This is the end, my dear readers, but thank you for all of your alerts, reviews and favourites! :D

Hermione sat nervously as she listened to Agatha Marple on Muggle-Wizard Radio. The woman's voice was soothing and calm, totally unlike Hermione's insides.

She loved Ron. She didn't care what he had done or why or what he would do. She was in love and in her eyes that young man couldn't put a spell wrong.

Hermione didn't know if it would be broadcast that there had been another escape from auror clutches but if Ron and his fellow death eaters were caught, it would be yelled around like enchanted fire. If they managed to catch Ron and, most likely, the most powerful and important death eaters ever, they would shout about it for eternality.

She began to nervously twist the ring that was on her finger; it was the ring that Ron had given her years ago. It was the ring that had started all of this. It was the ring that was the reason Harry Potter was killed.

It had been two months and there was still no word from either party; the MoM had said nothing and even though Hermione worked there, there was no rumours going around but when Draco had been captured, nothing was said at work; no one had known. And Ron still hadn't made contact, but maybe it was just so he could keep a low profile for a bit. Maybe she was being watched again.

All she knew was that this waiting hurt. She was a robot; get up, worry, eat, wait for owls, worry, shower, worry, work, worry, eat, worry, sleep, worry, wake up at 3am worrying, get up, worry, eat, wait for owls, worry, shower, worry, work, worry, eat, worry, sleep, worry, wake up at 3am worrying, get up... It was just constant.

Hermione was now sitting in her lounge, worrying, when she heard a meow.

That ginger cat was back.

Hermione's eyes grew wide with hope; that cat had had news from Ron last time!

But this time the cat didn't look so well.

It was missing a lot of fur, which was covered in dirt and wasn't the bright ginger it had been before, and its bones showed through its skin. It had a very bad limp and the end of its tail was missing.

Hermione rushed towards it and gently picked it up; it was too weak to protest.

It didn't have a letter.

'Oh, Merlin, you poor thing. What happened to you?' Hermione laid the cat gently on her table.

There are not many things in life which surprise Hermione Granger, but what happened next gave her the best shocks of her life.

'R-Ron!'

The cat had transformed into Ron. His clothes were thin rags; his skin covered with blood and cuts; he was almost brown with dirt and dust; his hair was faded and had been pulled out in places; his ribs were visible through his skin; and he only had two fingers on each hand.

'W-what?' Hermione was close to tears; she couldn't believe the state that Ron was in.

'Water.' Gasped out Ron, Hermione had never moved so fast in her life. She got mounds of food and litres of water all in less than 10 seconds.

She watched as Ron shoved the food he had been given into his mouth and he poured the water not only into his mouth but onto his face and body.

'Oh Ron.' She sighed as she looked into his eyes; they were not the bright blue eyes that had bewitched her as a teenager. They were dark and haunted.

'I can't stay long.' Hermione moved closer so that she could hear him; his voice was raspy and gruff. 'Draco was killed by 'em, everyone dead. Me left. I have to go too.' Ron pulled himself off of the table and kissed her with all the strength he had. He looked into her sad brown eyes. 'I love you, I love you more than you'll ever know.'

Hermione tried to speak but she couldn't, she needed to tell him she loved him but the words just wouldn't come out.

He smiled at her. 'I know 'Mione.' He kissed her forehead and walked towards her flat door.

It took him longer than usual due to his limp and poor strength and he used the walls to pull himself along. But Hermione just couldn't move she was frozen to the spot. She wanted to make it all better. She wanted to make him stay. She wanted him.

And by the time she could finally move; Ron was gone.

'You join me Agatha Marple on Muggle-Wizard Radio. And now here's the news with Cleo Gray.'

'Hi, I'm Cleo Gray and the top news story today is the death of Hermione Granger. She was found hanged in her London flat early this morning, after she didn't turn up to work for two days. It is believe that her suicide is linked to the earlier suicide of Harry Potter murderer, Ronald Weasley. Ron was found with his throat slit only two days ago. Hermione left a small note, which has given out horrid details of torture that Ronald Weasley and fellow prisoners suffered at the hands of well-known and high-ranking aurors. All aurors involved and mentioned in the note have been suspended pending an inquiry. Her funeral is being held tomorrow and it is believed that she will be buried with Ronald Weasley. And in other news..."
