(Hermione pov)
"Draco." I said, as his hands started to move under my shirt.
"Yeah?" He said, still moving his hands.
"We are in a hallway and people are starting to stare." I said, pulling out of the kiss, taking a step back, and straightening my shirt.
"Well, let them stare." Draco said, moving towards me, until I put a hand in front of his face.
"Come on, Draco." I said, grabbing his hand, and walking down the hallway with him.
"Where are we going?" He said, still laughing because I was pulling him a little too fast.
"We are going to see Neville and luna. Their kids are going home today." I said, stopping in front of a room with three sleeping babies in it. Luna was going around the room and packing her things.
"Hey Luna! Where's Neville?" I said, walking in, with draco by my side. She saw draco and I, still holding hands, and smile a little brighter.
"Oh, we decided to drive home, just for the heck of it, and he is trying to get three carseats in the car." Oh, and Hermione, I see you took my advice." She said, glancing in between Draco and I. I simply smiled and looked at the floor, like I usually do when I get embarrassed. Draco then Gripped my hand tighter to get my attention.
"Well, you have a nice day Luna. Hermione are going to go back to our apartments." He said, dragging me to a corner of the room, and apparating back to London. When we got back to our apartments, he led me inside his, and he went into the other room, leaving me standing in his living room. He then came back with to glasses and a bottle of, actually, I had no Idea what was in the bottle.
"Here you go." He said, handing me a glass and pouring the deep red liquid into the cup. He poured himself some of the wine, and drank half of it, before setting it on the table. I did the same with my glass, before we made our way to his couch, and snuggled up, watching the news. He then turned his back to the tv, and kissed me with something that felt like pure need. He then held my hand, and it felt like he slipped something on my finger, but I ignored it. I then saw the diamond ring on my finger, and stopped to look at it.
"Draco, what's this?" I said, pointing to my finger.
"It's a promise." He said, taking my hand in his.
"Draco, I-" I started to say, before turning my eyes to the television, to see footage of a familiar man falling to the ground.
"In other news, a man was shot today at a muggle supermarket. He was identified as Ronald b. Weasly. He was taken to a muggle hospital, and is now stable. The killer has yet to be identified, but the police are currently reviewing recordings from the muggle store. We have no other details, but we will update you if anything else is found." The newscaster said, before the show switched to a commercial.
"Oh my gosh." I said, taking my eyes away from the tv.
"What?" He said, seeing the panic that was currently resided on my face.
"I- I have to go. I'm sorry." I said, getting off the couch and looking for my bag.
"Hermione!" He said, coming after me as I was near the door.
"I'm sorry!" I said, opening the door and going into my apartment. I ran in, jammed my sneakers on my feet, and turned on my television. The news had come back on, and the newscaster, said what hospital ron was at. 'I can't believe I'm about to do this' I thought, as I apparated to the muggle streets of London. I then ran up a random person, and practically screamed at them.
"Where is St. Mary's hospital?" I said to the small man.
"It's around the corner, and then walk 2 blocks. It's on the left." He said, as I started running. It took me 2 minutes to get to the hospital. I burst through the doors, and saw Ms. Weasly sitting in one of the chairs in the waiting room. Lavender was a few chairs down from her, and avoided any and all of Ms. Weasly's attempts to talk to her. I ran over to ron's mother, and enveloped her in a bone crushing hug. The doctor then walked into the room, and asked for the weaslys. She then saw me raise my hand, and walked over to us. She asked us to sit down, as I led Ms. Weasly to the chairs, and held her hand.
"Ms. Weasly, we managed to get 2 of the three bullets out, but one of them is dangerously close to his spine. If he makes it through the night, we are going to go back in and try to remove the bullet. But, the way things are now, he might not make it. If you want, we could always pull the plug." She said, looking sad and trying not to make eye contact.
"Pull the plug." Lavender said, getting up and coming across the room to stand next to the doctor.
"What?" Ms. Weasly said, looking at Ron's mistress.
"No, don't." I said, still consoling Ron's mother.
"Okay, who is going to make the decision?" The doctor said, looking between me and lavender.
"Me. I'm his fiancé." Lavender said, crossing her arms.
"No, I say don't pull the plug. I still have power of attorney over him." I said, Looking at a now disgruntled lavender.
"Why do you even care?" Lavender said, mad because I wouldn't let her kill ron.
"I…. I don't know." I said, looking at the floor. Lavender then grabbed her bag, and left the hospital. That was the last time I ever saw her. The next week, she took all of Ron's money and moved away.
"Well, if you would like to see him, he is in room 202. Visiting hours are between ten and two." The doctor said, walking back to the nurse's station to put the chart up.
Ms. Weasly and I then walked down the hall, and stopped in front of room 202. I gave her a hug, before walking into the room, and seeing Ron. He looked so pale and fragile. The last time I saw him, I wanted to kill him with every fiber of my being. But now, I just wanted him to feel better. He had a long, clear breathing tube coming out of his mouth, and several tubes stuck in his hand and the crease of his elbow. Ms. Weasly ran to the side of ron's bed, and started running her hand through ron's scarlet hair. She then started to let the tears fall.
"Ms. Weasly, I-" I said, before she looked up at me and spoke, cutting off my sentence.
"Hermione, it's time for you to start calling me Molly. Ms. Weasly makes me sound old." She said, momentarily smiling, before turning her eyes back to her unconscious son.
"Molly, I'm sorry about what happened to Ron, but we have to go. Visiting hours just ended." I said, as I walked over to her and grasped her shoulders. I gently pulled her away, and led her to the bathroom. I apparated us both back to the nurrow from the bathroom, careful as to not let any muggles see us.
When we stepped inside the burrow, I led molly into the living room, where Mr. Weasly and The twins were sitting in various chairs. They all seemed pretty happy, so they obviously didn't know about ron yet. I hated to be the one to tell them, but from Molly's sad expression, she was clearly not going to talk anytime soon. I led Her to the couch, where Mr. Weasly was sitting, as he took his eyes off his paper and took in the sight of his disgruntled wife.
"Molly, How was- Hermione, what's wrong with molly?" He said as he stood up and put his arms around her.
"It's, it's Ron. He's in the hospital. Earlier today….. He was….." I said, unable to finish my sentence. Fred and George then stood up, and looked at me with wide eyes.
"What did-"
"The prick-"
"Do now?" Fred and George said, finishing each other's sentences like always.
I reluctantly shoved my hands in my pockets, and answered my almost brothers. "He was shot earlier today at a muggle supermarket. They got out 2 of the bullets, but there is still one left. If he makes it through the night, The doctors are going to try and remove the last bullet, but it's really close to his spine. He- he could be paralyzed." I said, not wanting to meet their eyes. They sat back down on the couch, their mouths hanging open. Mr. Weasly did the same, and they all just sat there. Staring at nothing. It was George who broke the silence.
"So, Is he okay?" He said, trying to snap his twin out of the trance he was in.
"He looked kind of pale, and he had a breathing tube in his mouth. We won't know until after he gets out of surgery tomorrow. " I said, looking uncomfortable talking about my ex. Fred and George then spotted the ring that I had Yet to take off.
"Hermione, What's that on your finger?" The twins said, smiles on their faces.
"Oh, um, it's a ring." I said, putting my left hand in my pocket.
"That's not just a ring. It's an engagement ring. Who gave it to you?" Mr. Weasly said, finally taking his eyes off his now smiling wife.
"Um….. Draco Malfoy. We've been dating and he says he's in love with me." I said.
"Hermione dear, Do you love him?" Molly said, Standing up, walking over to me, and grabbing my hands.
"Well, yeah." I said, looking at her tear streaked face.
"Well then, That's all you need to know." She said, patting my hands. Then, my phone rang.
(I'm tired of doing phone conversations, so I'll just skip to hermione's last line)
"Okay, thank you. I'll be right there." I said, hanging up my phone, taking off my ring, and walking to the window. "Arol" I said, as a bird flew to the wind. I gave the bird the ring, and told it to give it to draco malfoy. As soon as the bird flew away, I turned back to the now shocked Weaslys.
"It's ron. He just woke up. I'm going to the hospital." I said, apparating back to ron's bathroom.
