Case of A Dead Heart

by IWriteToSurvive

Hermione attends a Weasley wedding and tries to drink her sorrows away while hiding her illness. Fred Weasely was getting married, but not to her. Luna knows Hermione's secret and tries desperately to make sure she doesn't lose hope. With no options left, Hermione leaves Luna with one final task and the ghost of a smile. Her only regret? He never knew the truth. (I own nothing)

Chapter 4: Ron

Dear Ron,

Thank you for saving me from that troll in first year. Thank you for being my friend – even if you made me pull out my hair every now and then.

Make sure you treat Susan right. She's a sweet girl and deserves the best. And if you don't treat her properly I swear to Merlin I will come back and haunt you! Always give your mum a hug, never quit playing Wizard's Chess, and remember your manners every now and then. Promise me you won't let Harry blame himself for my passing? It's no one's fault. Be there for each other and take care.

I've left you one of my little elf hats from fifth year. I thought you would enjoy laughing at it every so often. I love you, Ron, you've always been a dear friend to me.

Love from,

Hermione

Ron took the tiny elf hat from his lumpy envelope and held it close. He chuckled lightly and decided right then that he would take Hermione's place in the fight for elf rights. He glanced at the letter once more and laughed lightly as he kissed her hand – only Hermione would threaten to haunt him if he didn't do as she requested.
