"Hermione, hello good morning dear how are you feeling?" Healer Marlina asked Hermione as she entered the room.
"I've been great actually. Getting stronger and stronger everyday." Hermione answered. Ron just sat there in silence. Its been absolutely awkward sitting in the room with Hermione. He knew she was still angry, she didn't even have t say anything.
"Well I've got some good news, for both of you. Hermione can go home today or tomorrow whenever you want or whenever you feel strong." Healer Marlina told them.
Hermione's face automatically lit up and she smiled. It was the first time that Ron saw Hermione smile after such a long time.
"THAT'D BE WONDERFUL! Can I go home TODAY? If you feel its alright of course." Hermione suggested.
"Of course now would be perfect. You can just get your stuff together and then your free to go!" Healer Marlina got up and went to shake Ron's hand and Hermione's. "It was wonderful to meet the both of you. You too seem like you have a happy, wonderful and beautiful family together. Congratulations and good luck with everything you do." Healer Marlina said to them.
Oh yea they had a happy family alright Ron thought. Hermione finally got out of her bed and stood up. Wow it felt great to finally get on her feet again after 3 long agonizing weeks. She looked at Ron and wondered, was he really in the room the whole time? Maybe he has changed. She got the thought out of her mind and suddenly packed her things. Ron stopped her and said "No allow me Hermione. Your still a little weak."
"I can do it. I'm fine." Hermione whispered.
Ron watched as Hermione packed her bags. Afterwards, they apparated home to see that Ginny, Molly, Harry and the kids were eating lunch. "MUM!" Rose screamed as she ran to her mother. Ginny and the others were delighted and a little shocked to see Hermione home so fast. She looked strong and healthy as if nothing had happened.
"Oh my! What are you doing home?" Ginny asked.
"Healer Marlina gave me the ok and gave me permission to go home! I'm so excited to be back! OH how I've missed you all so much!" Hermione said with excitement and happiness.
"It's great to have you back sweetheart! OH would you like anything to eat hun? We just started lunch!" Molly said.
Hermione agreed and sat down to eat with the family. Everyone ate and had a good time catching up. Ron and Harry then went to the living room and chatted.
"So isn't it great to finally have Hermione back?" Harry asked.
"Yea. But Hermione's still a little shaky I know it." Ron said with a sigh.
"Well she just needs some time mate. She needs time to heal her wounds. Physical and non physical wounds." Harry told his best friend.
He knew Harry was right. He hurt Hermione and he was going to do whatever it took to get her back. "Yes but I promise you mate, I will get the love of my life back, no matter what I have to do. I won't stop till that happens, I guarantee you that." Ron said with confidence.
Harry tapped Ron's shoulder and was actually proud of him. Little Ron was growing up after all and becoming a man he was meant to be.
