Another chapter! :) Please review, it helps me through the writing process.
ENJOY! :)
Ron knew it was coming, but he didn't think it would be that soon. They had only gotten their memories back a few hours ago, and already Mr. Granger wanted to talk. His heart rate sped up as Hermione and Mrs. Granger left the room. He wanted Hermione by his side, but he knew that wasn't right. He had to face this alone.
"Ron, let's be honest, this is a little awkward. I just want to know what your intentions were. Don't get me wrong, I know you're a great guy, but I just don't want Hermione getting hurt."
Ron understood every word Mr. Granger said; he just wanted what was best for his daughter. He would do the same if he were in Mr. Granger's shoes.
"Mr. Granger, with all due respect, I love Hermione. I would do anything for her. If it came to it, I would die for her. She is my everything, and I would never hurt her."
"Ron I understand you may have deep feelings for Hermione, but do you really love her? I mean you've only been dating for a few months now," he said seriously.
"I know, but I've felt this for a while. Our whole adventure this year made me finally see clearly. I would do anything for your daughter. When my brother died during the battle, she was the only one that could get me to see clearly and be happy again. She was the only thing that kept me going. Without her, I don't know if I'd be here right now. She was the driving force of my happiness. When I was little I was very afraid of spiders. I'm not going to lie, spiders still scare me, but that's no longer what I'm most afraid of. The thing that scares me the most is seeing Hermione hurt or in pain. To see her hurt makes me hurt inside too. I don't know what our future holds, but I don't care as long as Hermione is beside me every step of the way. My greatest desire is to see her happy."
Ron's ear started to turn scarlet as he finished talking. It was embarrassing to talk to your girlfriend's father about this kind of stuff. They sat in silence as Mr. Granger pondered what to say in return.
"Well Ron, I'm glad to say that I approve of your relationship with my daughter. I think my wife and I have known for some time that Hermione has liked you. Every year when she came home she couldn't stop talking about you. Of course she would talk about Harry too, but you were different. When she talked about you, there was this twinkle in her eyes we hadn't seen before. I'm very glad to see she found happiness in such a terrific guy."
Ron sighed from relief. Soon after, Hermione and Mrs. Granger reentered the room. Of course they had heard the whole conversation from the kitchen. Hermione was so proud of Ron, and everything he said. It meant so much to her that Ron loved her as much as she loved him. They sat down and ate the cookies and tea Mrs. Granger had prepared. They sat for a few minutes in silence before Hermione spoke.
"Mom, Dad," Hermione said carefully, "What do you guys want to do about the house and everything? I mean I understand if you want to continue living here but-" Hermione was quickly interrupted by her mother.
"Hermione of course not. We want to move back to England. I was thinking that we could clear out the house and sell it. In the mean while, we could head back home. Australia is wonderful and all, but it's not where we're really happy."
"I couldn't have said it better myself," Mr. Granger exclaimed as everyone smiled.
It was settled; in a week they would be back home. But first, they had much work to do.
Hope you liked the chapter. :) Please review! I'd really appreciate it!
