A/N: Sorry it might not be all that good with changes I've made but it is still pretty good. I changed some minor things but it kind of messed it up some. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy.
Ron woke to the smell of food cooking in the Burrow and the chair Hermione had been in empty. He rubbed his eyes and saw a pair of crutches at the end of the couch so he could get up and walk around if he pleased to. He groaned and sat up on the couch carefully so he wouldn't hurt his leg. "The spell, the spell Draco cast at me that night was one that broke my leg but I never knew about it," he whispered, grabbing the crutches and standing up carefully.
"Hermione? Where are you, Hermione?" he cried hoping to get an answer from her back so he would know where to go and hopefully so he wouldn't have to tackle the stairs alone if she was upstairs. When he got no answer he started to worry a bit. "Hermione!"
"I'm in the kitchen Ron," Hermione finally called, actually not hearing his first call from the fact she was outside.
Ron made his way into the kitchen to find that Hermione wasn't alone with him anymore for the time being. "Err… hey Tonks. How have you been?" he asked, walking over to the table and taking a seat across from the pink hair girl that was Tonks.
"I've been pretty well Ron. Things are busy at the Order but that isn't much of a surprise really with the war at its highest," Tonks replied as Ron sat down across from her. "So, how have you been? Hermione told me you broke your leg and that you where wounded pretty badly."
"I am doing okay, Hermione's taking good care of me like always," Ron said and watched Hermione blush from far away as she made breakfast for him.
Hermione straightened herself up and made her blush disappear quickly as she walked over to Ron and set food in front of him. She set down a cup of tea in front of Tonks and then went back to work making food for herself now. "Oh Ron, we have to write Ginny today. I haven't answered her in a few days so she is probably wondering what is up."
"Alright," Ron answered digging into his food right away like his normal Ron self. "It will be nice to get to tell my little sister how things have been going."
"You know, Ginny's actually pretty worried about you, Ron," Tonks said randomly and then taking a sip of her tea. "Mrs. Weasley was always saying how Ginny was always asking in her letters about you and Harry and if any of us had heard anything."
"It's true," Hermione said, finishing her food and taking a seat next to Ron at the table. "Ginny has been asking me nonstop if I had heard from you and Harry. She said she wanted to go to Hogwarts to get her mind off of things but so far it seems you two are the only ones she can't stop thinking about."
"Hmmm," Ron said to himself and then looking at Hermione. "Then it will make her really happy to know her older brother is alright but has a broken leg. The thing is, what should we tell her about Harry? We know he's alright but we don't know where he is exactly."
"It might be best if you leave Harry out altogether," Tonks said, looking at the two and smiling lightly. "I wouldn't make Ginny worry to much because it will only come back on you two. Knowing Ginny she'll probably go out and find him if no ones there to stop her."
"Tonks has a point. Ginny is always telling me about how some days she feels like she wants to just run out of the school and into the woods to find you two," Hermione said softly, taking a bit out of her food and then letting out a sigh. "I think we just shouldn't say anything at all about Harry."
Ron nodded his head and then looked over at Tonks then at Hermione. "So, what brings you here Tonks? Just wondering," he said, trying to start a conversation up some.
"I came to check up on Hermione. Mrs. Weasley was worried about having the twins do it though she told them they could. She sent me because she knew she could trust me a lot better then the twins," Tonks said, taking another sip of her tea and then looking down at her watch. "Ahhh, I have to get back to the Order now. I come and visit you two again soon. Thanks for the tea Hermione, it was very good. Next time, coffee please," she said and then apparating from the room.
"I will be sure to remember that," Hermione said laughing lightly and then taking another bite of her food. "As you can see I have a lot of people check up on me. Your mum trusts me but she has someone make sure I'm still alive. Fred and George have their own stupid reason for coming here and checking up. Tonks stops by to make sure I am alive and that the twins have been treating me well. Plus, she has a lot better timing then the twins do."
"Yeah, I'll say," Ron said, pushing his empty plate aside from him. "Hermione, I have something I should probably tell you. It is about your question you asked me last night, I have the answer. I know what happened, it came back to me in a dream."
Hermione looked at Ron and put her plate on top of Ron's before facing him eye to eye. "I'm listening," she said softly, putting her hand on Ron's.
Ron told Hermione about his dream about the fight against the Death Eaters and the spell that Draco had cast at him that somehow broke his leg. He let out a sigh after getting to the end but leaving out the last part about what he told Harry to tell Hermione and everything going black in front of his eyes.
"And? You where knocked out when you got here so there must be a little more to it," Hermione said softly, looking into his wonderful blue eyes.
Ron let out a sigh and looked into Hermione's eyes. She wanted to know, he could tell by the look she had on her face. "Well Harry came running over to me after I hit the tree after knocking Draco out. I-I told him that if I didn't make it that I wanted him to tell you that I loved you. At the time I was in so much pain I didn't think I would make it and I thought you should have at least known. Harry told me that I would make it but after that I completely blacked out," he said, seeing the tears in Hermione's eyes now. "Come here Hermione," he said quietly.
Hermione did as Ron told her and she got up and sat down in his lap carefully so she wouldn't hurt him any. She put her head into his shoulder and felt like bursting out into tears but held back. "Ron, that's so sweet of you but I would have rather heard it from you in person and I'm glade I did. You should have known that Harry wouldn't let you die like that and neither would I."
"Hermione, I didn't know what would happen once I hit that tree. I was sure that I was going to die but the one thing that kept telling me that I would live was the thought of you," Ron said, holding Hermione tight in his arms. "The thought of you is what kept me going most of the time."
Hermione looked at Ron and smiled lightly before kissing him and not pulling herself away. She felt like her action was a lot more powerful then her words at this moment. She saw glade that she was what kept Ron going because she knew what kept her going when she was here was the thought that he would be back in her arms soon enough.
Ron pulled away from Hermione and brushed her cheeks with his fingers. "I love you so much Hermione. You could never know how much I love you in my heart. Nothing in the world could ever show you how much," he whispered and then kissing Hermione in a series of light pecks. "Let's go write that letter to Ginny," he whispered.
Hermione nodded and got up off of Ron. She grabbed the dishes and set them in the sink as Ron made himself comfortable at the table once again now waiting for her to join him. She grabbed a clean piece of parchment and a quill then sat down at the table next to Ron so they could take turns writing in the one letter.
Dear Ginny,
I am so sorry I haven't written in the past few days. I was rather busy and the twins accused me of snogging some random boy which I wasn't. I swear those two sometimes. I also got visited by Tonks today which wasn't that bad, she doesn't accuse me of things I didn't do. Any who, as I said I was busy for the past few days taking care of your brother Ronald. He is doing pretty well though he has a broken leg which means he'll be out of the war for a good while.
Hey sissy, don't worry about me any. Hermione is doing a great job at taking care of me. The twins are still annoying still, thought I would update you on that. They ruined my great moment with Hermione. I can't kiss her on the couch without those two barging in on us. Even when no one is in the Burrow with the two of us we still can't get any privacy what so ever when it comes to kissing.
Thank you for that Ron. Anyways, yes the twins ruined my moment with Ron. They thought I was snogging with some random boy when they found us. They couldn't tell that it was Ron that was on top of me and kissing me. I swear those two are trying to ruin things for me. I can only imagine when their next visit will be but watch it will be sometime where I am kissing Ron on the couch.
They are annoying like I said before. Anyways, Tonks told me you where worrying about me and Harry a lot. I am so happy that my little sister is worried about me but I am alright and in for the counting. I went through a nasty fight though but I survived thanks to the handy work of Hermione. I should be good in no time at all except for my broken leg.
Ronnie xoxo
Miss you terribly Ginny.
Hermione
Hermione sent the letter out after they finished saying everything they needed too and she went back to work as Ron settled back down on the couch. She gave him as many Chudley Cannon magazines she could find to keep him busy while she cleaned her clothes and threw out the ones Ron had came in since she knew it was no use at all trying to fix his clothes any.
