Okay so most of you want to know what red means from the last chapter. Well it won't be mentioned again for a few chapters. Sorry!
Disclaimer: I hate doing these. -_- I don't own Harry Potter or the totally awesome things in it. Now I'm in a bad mood. Oh well (jumps up and points) on with the story!
Hermione waited nervously for Judy to come back with Healer Washington. She kept wringing her hands. George finally grabbed her hands.
"Hermione everything's going to be okay." he whispered while giving her a hug. He kept whispering encouraging words into her hair until Judy came back with a woman. She seemed to be in her late fifties with some gray hair highlighting her honey blonde. She gave Hermione and George a warm smile. "Hello, I'm Healer Washington but you can call me Helen."
She grabbed her stool and brought it over to Hermione's bedside. "Okay Hermione, I'm going to scan you again with my wand. Just to double check. Okay?" Helen said as she reached for her wand. She moved her wand above Hermione but the results came out differently. There was no red!
Healer Washington looked surprised. "Hmm I guess Judy's wand is broken or something." Helen got up. She turned to face Hermione. " You are free to go. Just come back if anything seems out of the ordinary or you have extreme pain." with that and a quick good bye, Healer Washington left the room.
Hermione sat there confused. Something was fishy but she just couldn't put her finger on it. Hermione shot out of bed-with help from George- and went to change into something more comfortable. She came back out with a red tee and a pair of white shorts. (Hermione transfigured her old clothes into the ones she is currently wearing) she slipped on her red flip-flops before turning to George. "Ready?"
"Yup!" George replied before grabbing Hermione's arm gently. They disappeared to the comfort of the Burrow.
Molly Weasley was currently cooking dinner for her family when she heard a pop coming from the den. She made her way to the den to see her son and soon to be daughter-in-law standing there looking a little queasy. Molly helped them up before giving Hermione a gigantic hug. "Hermione!" At the sound of her name, foot steps could be heard coming down the stairs.
Harry, Ginny, Fred, and Ron came down to see what the commotion was about. What they saw was Mrs. Weasley hugging the life out of Hermione with George chuckling at them. Fred was the one to finally convince to let go of Hermione. "Come on mum. The girl just got back and you're going to squeeze her to death." Molly released Hermione and whispered a soft sorry. Hermione took a few short breathes before being attack with hugs from Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Fred.
When Fred let her go, Molly lead Hermione and George to the dinner table. "Come sit dear. You must be tired and I made all your favorites." Hermione was surprised by her actions. "Thank you Molly, but you didn't have to go through all that trouble." she tried to reason but Molly just waved her comment off. "Nonsense deary, your family!" Hermione felt comfort from her comment.
Arthur arrived moments after followed by Bill, Fleur, and Angelina. Everyone sat down and talked about their day. No one mentioned the events of the previous day, to Hermione's relief. After dinner, everyone went to the backyard. Fred had suggested a bonfire and everyone liked the idea, especially Mr. Weasley .
George was right behind his twin when he felt a tug on his arm. He looked to see Hermione pulling him down to the nearest sofa. He gave Hermione a questioning look. "Um Mione, you need something?" Hermione nodded and it took her a moment to answer. "George, I've been thinking about this a lot. I think it's best that we don't mention what happened in St. Mangos. I don't want to worry them anymore." she said not look George in the eyes.
George wanted to argue but knew she had the right idea. He loved his family but George knew how his family treated people when they had a horrible experience. When Fred was in the coma after the war, everyone treated him differently. The Healers said there was a 75% chance he wouldn't make it and he could possible die. Everyone acted like as if they were walking on eggshells when around him except Hermione. George could hardly take it and spent most of his time avoiding them by staying at his apartment.
"Okay Hermione, I won't mention it. It's your choice. Now come on, they're probably waiting for us. We have been gone for quite some time." he said with a smirk. George guided Hermione to the back door to see the family sitting around the roaring fire. Every couple was snuggled up together. It was kind of awkward for Ron, Hermione and George.
George didn't like the felling of being left out so he grabbed Hermione by the waist-making her squeal from the sudden contact- and lifted her up on to his lap. He left his arms around her waist. Everyone noticed his action but kept it to themselves. Hermione glared a George. "What! I don't like to feel left out! Plus you looked lonely" he whispered into her ear. Hermione shivered from his cool breathe against her ear.
"Fine." she said. Hermione rested herself against George's body, making herself comfortable. 'This actually is nice.' she thought as she rested her head on the crook of George's neck. Hermione couldn't shake the feeling like someone was watching her. She lifted her head to see Ron glaring at them with jealousy. "May I help you Ronald?" she asked. Her voice had a hint of amusement in it.
"No Hermione. Not at all." replied Ron before storming out of the yard and into the house. Fred looked of at them. "What's got his knickers in a twist?" Both George and Hermione shrugged.
Hermione woke up to someone pulling on her blanket. She opened one eye to see a very ecstatic ginger tugging on her blankets furiously. Hermione looked at her clock before she started yelling. "Ginny, why did you wake me up at eight in the bloody morning!".
Ginny giggled. "Because you, Angelina, Luna, and I are going out shopping. We're going to have a girls day out and maybe shop for stuff for our weddings." Hermione groaned. It's been a week since Hermione left the hospital. She hasn't felt any pain yet but she really didn't want to go out. Hermione just wanted to relax, something she hasn't done for a long time.
Knowing she was going to regret this, Hermione got out of bed and slowly headed to the bathroom. She wanted to take as long a time as possible so Hermione took a twenty minute shower. Then she toweled dried her hair slowly before going to her old school chest and choosing her outfit.
Finally Hermione decided on a yellow tank top, dark bermuda shorts and white sneakers. She grabbed her beaded purse and her wand before closing the door behind her. Ginny grabbed Hermione's arm before she could protest and disappeared from the Burrow.
