Finding Hope

Cries echoed throughout the Great Hall. Even though Hermione was sitting on the dusty steps outside, she could still hear the cries of joy and delight mixed with the pained cries of the brave soldiers who had lost loved ones. She could feel tears forming as she thought of all the people they had lost. Colin, barley old enough to tie his shoes. Tonks and Remus, they had just had Baby Teddy who would grow up, like Harry, Parent less. Fred. The thought of him caused tears to spill from her face and a muffled sob to escape her lips as she brought her hand to her face. The Weasley's, they must be in pieces over Fred. Poor George, not only did he lose his brother but his twin, his other half, Fred was the Ying to George's Yang, and now he was gone. She couldn't stand it anymore, the looks of sadness as people past her going into the great hall to congratulate and grieve with their families. All of a sudden she felt physical sick with herself, here she was crying alone outside the Great Hall feeling sorry for herself while the Weasley's and other family were probably being torn apart with their grief over the loss of their friends and family. Feeling the need to throw up she stood up and ran. Ignoring the looks thrown her way as she ran out of the courtyard and away from people. Realising she couldn't hold it any longer, she stopped running. She vomited all up the outside of a castle wall, she was disgusted with herself, and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing down her face. Hearing footsteps she was alarmed but she couldn't bring herself to turn round. All of a sudden a hand touched her back Jumping back in fear she turned around, only to be met with a worried Neville.

" Blimey Hermione, never seen you run so fast! Are you ok? I saw you crying on the steps but before I could ask you were legging it out the courtyard. I thought I better follow to see, if you're aright? " Neville said as he gave her a concerned look.

" Huh, yeah I'm fine I just . . . I . . . Just " That was all Hermione could say before a sob escaped her mouth and before she knew it, her legs gave way and she was sobbing like there was no tomorrow. Neville was hugging her and telling her everything would be ok. As he said this Hermione could feel her eyes drooping, as her sobs subsided. Not being able to stop she could feel herself being lifted and carried and sleep finally caught up with her.

Opening her eyes, and sitting up, she was met with the Girls Dorm. Slowly and carefully getting out of bed, she opened the door as walked down the stairs. As she approached the Common Room she was overwhelmed with a feeling of sadness and despair. Sitting in the Common Room were the Weasley's, Harry and Fleur all grieving over the loss of Fred. She was starting to feel unwelcome, she was looking at the people she called family yet she couldn't find her place with them, it was almost as if she didn't fit in. Thinking this, she sighed.

Hearing a sigh Mrs Weasley Turned around, blurry-eyed and gasped as she saw Hermione just standing there. As if a new jolt of passed through her she jumped up and ran the engulf her in a bone-crushing hug as she cried. Suprised by their mothers outburst they all turn to see Hermione being crushed by Mrs Weasley. Sensing this, Mr Weasley stood and came and pried Molly off Hermione long enough for Ron to come over and pull Hermione into a strong but gentle hug. Sensing they needed a moment the family turned around but snuck a few peaks.
Just as Hermione and Ron pulled back from the hug they realised how close they were. They both remembered the kiss in the Chamber of Secrets and wondered if they were official now. Ron, for once moving first tilted his head and nodded cautiously, knowing he what he was asking, Hermione just tilted her head and nodded. Slowing getting close, their lips touched. Sparks flew throughout theirs bodies. They got the sudden urge to need each other. They both started moving their mouths and tounges in sync. With her hands in his hair and his starting to slip further and further down her waist, getting closer and closer to her. . .

" OI "

This shout cause them both to jump apart in fright and gaze over at the people who were once grieving, now giving them snug looks. Feeling the awkwardness Ron took Hermione's hands and lead her out of the common room. Just as the picture was closing they heard Bill shout " Remember Protection! "

Ears now turning red Ron knows that when they get back Bills a dead man.
