1Chapter 20

The next morning Hermione sat up in bed. It took her a moment to register just where exactly she was.

"Oh Merlin." Hermione whispered, looking over at the still sleeping Ron. He looked so peaceful and cute. Hermiones hands twitched to move some hair out of his eyes, but didn't want to startle him if he woke up while she did it. She sat there, watching him, until she saw him stir. He opened his eyes, squinting from the sunlight beaming through the shades. He to must have just registered who was in bed with him, because he shot up, causing Hermione to jump in surprise. She put her hand on his shoulder.

"Ron it's alright it's just me! Hermione!" She said, looking at him concerned. He stared back her.

"Hermione? Oh yeah.. Right.. Sorry." He mumbled. She sighed.

"Ron thank you again. And.. I'm sorry.. About last night. If whatever I said got to you, im sorry." Hermione apologized. Ron could see the honesty in her eyes. He gave her a small smile.

"No im sorry. I acted like a total bastard. And for that im sorry." He now apologized. Hermione couldn't stop herself. She hugged him. He felt awkward at first, but then hugged her back. Her hair smelled like strawberries. Ron inhaled deeply, savoring the smell. They pulled back from one another, smiling.

"Oh Elizabeth! I hope she isn't up and snooping around!" Hermione suddenly said, putting a hand to her forehead. She quickly fumbled out of the bed and ran out of the bedroom. She opened the spare bedrooms door, and saw Elizabeth sitting up in the bed, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

"Mummy?" She asked hoarsely.

"Yes dear im here. How did you sleep?" Hermione asked her, sitting down beside her on the bed, brushing her bangs out of her face.

"Fine. I'm hungry." Elizabeth simply said.

"I can fix that." Rons voice said from the doorway. Hermione and Elizabeth turned their heads to Rons grinning face. They smiled back at him. Ron made breakfast. Yes that's right, Ronald Weasley made breakfast. He made pancakes, french toast and bacon. They all ate, chatting every now and then. After Hermione helped clean up the kitchen, her and Elizabeth got dressed. They entered the living room, finding Ron watching T.V.

"Well I guess we'll be going. We have to go home and get some things." Hermione said, setting down her and Elizabeths suitcases. Ron turned off the T.V and stood up.

"Where are you going to stay?" He asked suddenly, throwing Hermione off guard.

"Oh um.. I.. I don't know actually. I guess I could give my mother a call but seeing how I haven't talked to her in four months..." Hermione trailed off.

"Why don't you two just come back and stay with me?" Ron asked. Hermione swallowed audibly and shook her head.

"No Ron we couldn't do that. We don't want to barge in and take over your house or anything..." Hermione started but Ron waved her off.

"Don't be silly! You two aren't going to barge in. It's just me, myself and I. And you two are more than welcome to stay here as long as you need. Until you find somewhere else." Ron said.

"Are you sure?" Hermione asked. Ron nodded his head. She looked down at her daughter. "Elizabeth is that okay with you?" She asked her. Elizabeth looked lost in thought, and then nodded her head vigorously.

"I really did like that bed." She stated, making the two grown ups laugh. She smiled at them. "Yes, I'd like to stay here very much." She said.

"Well then I guess we will take you up on your offer!" Hermione said smiling.

"Great! Then how long will you take until you get back?" Ron asked.

"It won't be long I promise. I'll apparate back and forth, bringing things with me. And then this weekend I'll start looking for a flat." Hermione said.

"Alright. Well then I guess I'll see you two later?" Ron asked, looking down at Elizabeth. She nodded her head. Her and her mother walked to the front door.

"Elizabeth wait downstairs for me will you?" Hermione asked, Elizabeth nodded her head, picked up her suitcase, waved goodbye to Ron, and headed out the door. "I'll be right there!" Hermione called.

"Alright!" Elizabeths tiny voice called back. Hermione turned to Ron.

"Thank you so much. This really means a lot to me and Elizabeth." Hermione started, but then got serious. "But why are you doing it?" She asked.

"Because I think every person deserves a second chance." Ron answered. Hermione felt her heart skip a beat. She smiled at Ron.

"Me too." She said, gave him a quick peck on the cheek, grabbed her own suitcase, and walked out the door, this time, looking back. Ron gave a lopsided grin and waved goodbye to her.
