~Ginny POV~
After finding out the most common place that the attacks were centered around the west side of town, Hermione and I went to the inn. The ministry had provided us with a single room, but were unaware of the rooms having a single bed. "Oh, well I guess we aren't spending a lot of time here any way. If it bugs you I can sleep on the floor", I said slowly raising my gaze to Hermione's hazel eyes that if you looked at them long enough had specks of green with in them.
She shook her head slowly, "No Gin, that wont be necessary. We've slept in the same bed for years anyway. Why would it be any different?" My eyes unblinking, "No, I didn't mean anything by it. Just that maybe you wouldn't want to share a bed with me. That's all." She nodded opening the closet, and grabbing a towel. Hermione walked into the bathroom before returning with a wet towel. "Hermione what are you..," Hermione began to rub the towel on my blood covered hands. "Sorry I just wanted you to be not bloody. I swear it's either you or Harry that are always covered in blood." I smiled. It wasn't a lie.
Still smiling, "Remember the time that bludger hit me in the head." Hermione looked up, "That was god awful Gin, I had to wait in the hospital wing for three days until you woke up." I laughed, "Well I didn't mean to worry you 'Mione." She made a hmph sound, and stopped cleaning my hands. We stood there oddly staring into each others eyes as if it were a game of sorts. My heart was fluttering around. I started to snake my arms around Hermione's waist, and brought her close. "'Mione?" She wrapped her arms around my lower back, "Yes?" I took in the scent of her hair, which smelled like strawberry shampoo, "Promise that we will never fall apart again, I have just missed you so much, and I couldn't live without you in my life. So promise your not going anywhere?" She pulled away, putting a hand to cup my chin, and meet her gaze, "As long as you promise not to leave me, I'll be here." I nodded and placed my forehead against hers', "We should probably sleep."
Sighing, Hermione broke from my embrace, "Yeah I suppose your right." We climbed into bed after transfiguring the clothes we were wearing to night gowns, "Night 'Mione, I love you." Hermione chuckled, "I love you too Gin, night."
