Chapter 8

There's always one moment in a person's life where they know that everything changed. That one moment in which you realize you've been living in a blur and everything comes into focus. It could be a tragic accident that makes you realize, it could a reencounter with somebody, or even one second. In my case it was one person. She helped me regain my faith, she gave me courage, but most of all she made me happy. I couldn't just let that slip away. She was the one and I wasn't about to let her go.

Mum and dad left the room but everybody else was starting to enter it. As I start to get up my head started to spin. They all came rushing over telling me to put my head back down.

Everybody was asking how I was and all I wanted to know how Hermione was.

"SHUT IT!" I took a breath to stop my pounding head, " the healers said I'm fine. I just have a small concussion and I could leave in a few hours. They're just keeping me here to make sure I don't pass again even though they doubt I will. Now please… just go home. You all know I love you but I'm fine."

Everybody just stood in shock. Ginny was the first to talk, saying something how I'm a git for making them all nervous and then gave me kiss, only after she punched my shoulder. One by one they all filed out. George was the last to go. I called him over as he was leaving the room.

"Listen I just need you to answer the question I'm about to ask and don't ask me any questions, not just yet. Can you do that for me?" I asked.

"After having a part in almost cracking your head open, I believe I can do that" he said with a smirk.

"Good now just tell me is Hermione ok?"

He looked at me raising an eyebrow. "No questions asked" I reminded him.

"The last we were in her room she was still conscious but the doctors were coming in to tell them about some test they did" he said a low voice.

"Them?" I asked a little faster then I should have.

"There was a guy with her in there but I think we would have known if she was dating somebody right?"

"Yah, right…" I said in a dazed tone. If Hermione had already started dating then that could be her boyfriend. I mean it has been a month, for all I know that guy in the bookstore could be her new boyfriend. She was amazing, any guy would kill for a woman like Hermione and I just let her go. How could I have done something so stupid?

"Which room is she in, George?"
"Fourth floor, 3a. You are going to go visit?"

"Ya, I think I will."

There was a brief pause where it looked as if he was debating with himself on if he should say something.

"You like her" he said more as a statement then question. I hardly see him this serious but his face suddenly looked as if it had aged a few years. I could feel my face doing the same thing.

"I love her." There I had said it, it didn't matter what anybody else though anymore. Nobody knew what was better for my life then me. This is the path I want. This is the path that is going make me stronger. I have to make choices that are good for me and not just what everybody else is doing. If it took me this long to figure it out then so be it. I've found what I want and what I want is Hermione. And I'm not going to let her go again just because I have insecurity that people with think she's to good for me. Because I too deserve happiness and with Hermione I was truly the happiest guy on the planet.

"Then go get her back." He said with a smile, turned around and just walked out leaving me with my thoughts.

As soon as I was discharged from my room I started to head straight for Hermione's room. I walked right past the nurse who was trying to tell me something and into the room. I opened that door expecting to see Hermione lying down in the bed eyes closed, giving me time to think of what to say but no. I walked in on Hermione with her top off, while the doctor put a wrapping around her ribs.

"I'm sorry! I'll just…" I started to stutter on my words. "I'll wait outside" I said closing the door behind me.

The nurse looked at me and laughed "She bruised her rib. The doctor will be done wrapping the ace bandage in a minute."

I waited outside the room till the doctor came out and told me it was ok to go back in. The doctor started to walk away then quickly turned around and gave me something shiny, a necklace. They took it off her when they were examining her and forgot to give it back. After closer look I noticed it was the necklace I gave her. One day after work I stopped by the bookstore and just gave it to her. No real reason, no special occasion, I just saw it and thought she would like it. I figure she would stop wearing once we broke up.

I walked in and slowly made my way to Hermione. She was sitting on the edge of the bed gathering her things into her bag, all ready to go home.

"The doctor told me to give this to you" I said handing her the necklace. She reached into my hand and took it with a nod. I couldn't help to smile when I felt an shock go through our touch.

"Hermione" she put up her hand to stop me. "No please just let me get this out. I've been thinking of you nonstop. I was unsure of what I wanted and who I was. I thought that once people would find out we were dating they would point out how you could get somebody better then me. But I've come to the realization that I have to stop putting myself down. You were right that day out in my backyard. I've come to far from Hogwarts and I do have a great life. But I can't fully have that if I'm missing the most important thing in my life. I need you Hermione. Without you I'm nothing. The happiest time of my life was with you. You're amazing and talented and I know you could get any guy in a heartbeat but please forgive me for my stupidity. I love you and I can't get your out of my mind."

I had to stop to take a breath. I just put myself out there. I was never at this end of the conversation before. All those girl in Hogwarts I've done this too. I was such a git I can't believe that I ever got as lucky to have Hermione.

She started to look over to me; I could see the tears in her eyes. "You are such an idiot". Just with that he leaped off the bed and into my arms. Crying into my shoulder I could her saying how she missed me and how much she wished her date would have never happened. She let go of me and looked into my eyes, "I fell off the horse and I my head hit he ground and all I could think about was how much I wished you were there to help me instead of Scott." She said weeping.

"Well I'm not going anywhere now and ready to shout it to the world." I said with a smile from ear to ear. "So, how come the doctor got farther with you then I did on the first date?" I said with a wink.

Hermione just laughed and took her bag. "Let's go Fred."

With those simple three words we walked out of hospital hand in hand. I was ready to face the world and I was going to do it with the best person I ever knew. The one and only, Hermione Granger.
