Morning
Morning had broken. Sunlight breaks through the curtains creeping through all the cracks of The Girls Dorm almost giving a sense of hope. I wonder why the world keeps turning while our life seemed to have stopped yesterday Tonks , Lupin , Colin and Fred
Yesterday
Screaming, throwing spells, hurting and dying are crossing my mind and even if there is just a night between these events and now that I have him to rest on they all seem to fade away. The dead bodies of Tonks, Fred and Lupin appear in front of me, but yet I still cannot feel anything but warmth because of him.
I feel the greatest relief I have ever felt. I know the world is freed and whatever will happen it will never be that dark again, Voldemort will no longer strike fear in the hearts of anyone in the Wizarding World anymore. I love Harry, I love Ginny, too Neville and Luna The Weasley's and my parents. Well, maybe not love, but it is as strong as love
I know it is love with Ron. I have always been in love with him.
"Next time there is a Ball , maybe you should build up the courage and ask me before someone else does !" I screamed. He sat their showing no emotion , I didn't know why he wouldn't confess anything to me. Was it just me who felt so strongly about him , why wouldn't he show me he cared?
On the brink of balling my eyes out , I ran to the nearest room to be alone. It was their i found Ginny "Hermione are you ok? Please don't tell me you let my git of a brother get to you." "NO" I replied too harshly to the girl who was trying to help me. "In fact for your information I don't care what your brother thinks, its not like I was placed on the earth to please him, and and". That moment was when I broke down completely. But of course Ginny was their to pick up the pieces "Hermione ,no matter how much my brother doesn't show it, he cares deeply for you." "Well yes of course Ginny , we are best friends after all". "Well Hermione both Harry and Ron are best friends to but let me assure you, Ron would be the first to come to your aid if you ever needed him. I think as Ron puts it "He's in it for more than friendship" Ginny giggled. "So get up and let's knock the socks off both Harry and Ron.
"Ok Ginny , you go on I just need a moment and oh Ginny thank you" I whispered. "No worries Hermione what are friends for?" Ginny then left me by myself in an empty classroom ,all I could think about was the replay of her words "He's in it for more than friendship" did that mean that Ron too had feelings and with a new felt sense of confidence I would go out and enjoy myself , with Krum no Victor chuckling he has such a bad influence on me,I knew who had my heart that night.
Giggling I looked up at Ron who was fast asleep, not wanting to leave his arms i grabbed an even tighter grip of his chest and back tucked my head under his chin and fell straight back asleep.

The light kept creeping through the curtains , and Ron couldn't refuse himself that he was awake. Merlin ! he thought opening his eyes , he found himself in the Girl's Dorm confused he looked down and saw Hermione hugging him with such force he only ever dreamed about. She still had her clothes on from the night before , they were badly burnt she had cuts and bruises all over her petite body. But Ron found her the most beautiful he had ever seen, Veela or not Hermione always took Ron's breath away.
He would do anything to protect this girl. And if anyone even threatened to come close in harming her , he would sure make them pay.
Although not always did his "master plan" always work ,He once ate slugs because of his loyalty towards Hermione. And then there was the incident at the Yule Ball,
Ron was done with the Ball , and decided to go to bed early. This was were he saw Krum and who he thought was Hermione heartbroken Ron decided to confront Krum there and there but what he discovered was Krum and Slytherin girl sucking each others face off. Confused Ron sought Hermione making his way back down to the dance floor, finally he found her without letting him get a word in Hermione snapped "Oh your back to RUIN my night now are you?". Ron felt the urge to let Hermione know who exactly was ruining whose night and lead her to her "Vicky" but decided not to.
This was why Victor was such a soft topic. He had betrayed Hermione's trust and then when he found out that they had kissed he couldn't handle it,Ron wanted to kill him. Then came the night that almost changed his life. The Malfoy Mansion ,Ron thinking how he ever let Hermione feel an ounce of pain he still couldn't forgive himself for. That bitch couldn't take him instead,
He was the blood traitor not her, and then her screams were the most chilling part. Knowing that she was in pain killed him and when he reached her all he could think about was if she died he would never get the chance to tell her just how much he loved her.
"Mione it's time to get up" Ron said shaking her slightly. "Mhhmmhm" Hermione mumbled digging her head deeper into Ron's body. "Love you almost sound as bad as me eating with my mouth full." "I said Ronald , that I don't want to wake up."Hermione whispered. "Well , love I need to go to the little boys room and Im sure that if we are caught Proffesor McGonnagol will ban us from Hogwarts , and I'm sure we don't want that seeing as though we are both coming back next year right ?" Ron teased. "You mean you'll ?Hermione asked shocked. "Now Hermione if you thought for one second I was ever going to leave you out of my sight for the rest of our lives you were mistaken !" Ron laughed. "Oh RON ! I love you !"
Ron then creeped out of the Girl's Dormitory avoiding to wake Ginny up and quickly slipped into the bed nearest to Harry. Harry then stirred, "Ron ! did you just wake up then?" he asked "Ah yeah mate , just went to the toilet". "Uh im going to have a shower alright mate?" "Yeah ok no worries" replied Harry.
Ron stumbled into the shower. Knowing full well that this was going to be one of the longest showers he ever took in his life, turning on the hot water first he let the water hit his body for at least 10 minutes before he decided to move a muscle. This was almost his clensing of the pain and sorrows he felt throughout the whole "quest" for the Horcruxes.
Picking up an unconscious Hermione , Ron had one mind set to kill the people who hurt her. But he couldn't he was missing his wand. Harry shouted "Grab it and RUN!". Ron thought of the only place that he knew Hermione would be safe. The Cottage , The Cottage was all Ron wanted to think , and that's were they landed. As soon as he hit the ground he ran to Bill's house pleading that Hermione would be ok. "Please Mione , stay with me you can't leave me now I still haven't told you how much I love you". Ron in tears found Bill "Bill Harry is on the way Hermione has been tortured please were is Fluer ? I need help please Bill". Ron needed his older brothers re assurance he needed someone to tell him that she would be ok."Ron get inside Fluer will be their, stay with Hermione she needs you".
Running inside Ron saw Luna and Dean waiting in the living room. Almost as if they read his mind they quickly scampered outside to help Harry and Dobby make there way back. Placing Hermione as softly as he could on Bill's couch Ron pleaded for Fluer to come from wherever she was. Appearing from the doorway Fluer must have sensed there was trouble and had a bottle of a weird looking potion in her hand and a cloth. Hesitantly approaching Hermione Fluer held out her hand and gave Ron the cloth "I ziink you should be ze one to help her, It iz obvious that you both care for eeachozer very much and i iz not sure i want to take zat away from you by helping her". Ron acknowledged her statement and administered the lotion all over Hermione's bruises and cut carefully dabbing the wound that Belestrange managed to apply. After Ron had finished cleaning Hermione he lifted her up again "Fleur were is the closest bedroom ? Hermione needs her sleep and I need to make sure she is comfortable". "Straight down ze hall on ze left" Fluer said smiling.
Ron again carefully placed Hermione on the bed , tucking her in making sure that she was the most comfortable he could make her. Ron then heard a loud crack and realized Harry must have arrived snapping back into reality Ron knew that he should go and see the others. Looking back at Hermione he promised himself that when she awoke he would tell her everything, its not everyday you get a second chance to tell those just how much they mean to you. Ron placed a tender kiss on Hermione forehead and left the room to find Harry, that's when he heard a soft whimper wheeling around he saw Hermione reach out for his hand. Not wanting her to use to much energy he knelt beside her. "What is it Mione?" he asked. Slowly and deliberately she responded "Ron. I just want to thank
"Shhh its ok Mione I know"Ron whispered hugging her tightly. "No , she struggled to continue without your voice I don't think i would of" breaking off Hermione started to sob. Ron decided this was the moment "When you were up at the Mansion, I felt helpless I would have done anything to protect you Mione they may have tortured you, but I felt like it was my heart being ripped out instead. I am glad you are ok. No that wasn't how he wanted to say it "Well what Im trying to say is that I uh lo" Ron was stopped by the sudden crashing of the door opening. "Oh sorry Luna" sighed "I thought this was the toilet !" walking out. Ron turned his head back to Hermione who had fallen back asleep. Kissing her cheek tenderly again Ron repeated "I love you Mione".
Ron awoke from his day dream to hear banging "Oi mate ! You still awake in there ? You have been in the shower for 35 minutes and i wondered if you dozed off". Realizing just were he was Ron shouted "Yeah sorry Harry, Im almost done !"
