Harry's POV
I woke up to the spot beside me was empty, I wondered if last night had been a dream. I rolled over and smelled the faint lingering of her perfume. Last night did happen. "Hermione?" I called out. My vision cleared as I wiped the sleep from my eyes and searched for my clothes from the night before. I slipped on my pants but could not seem to locate my shirt. I rounded the corner of the bedroom Ron, and I shared the bathroom and heard the shower running. I stepped into the bathroom to see Hermione wearing only my shirt. Explains why I could not find it. "You look amazing in my clothes." She jumped and turned to face me. Her face flustered. "Harry, you startled me." She blushed as I eyed her up and down. "Are we going to shower?" I asked her carefully wrapping my arms around her waist and lifting her up onto the bathroom counter.
"Harry." Hermione had tears in her eyes. "What is it? Have I done something?" I quickly took a step back away from her. "No Harry, I am happier than I have ever been, but I cannot go on without talking to Ronald. I cannot lie to him and be with you."
Suddenly the house shook, and I lifted Hermione off the counter and held her close. The shaking stopped and voices traveled down the stairs. "Harry, Mate!" It was Ron. "Hide me." Hermione whispered. "The cloak its in my truck, grab it quickly." Hermione slipped under the invisibility cloak just as Ron entered the bedroom. "Blimey Harry, has Hermione come to visit? Her trunk is upstairs, and her cat is running amuck as always." Ron looked around the room suspiciously.
"Yes, she arrived in last night but when I woke this morning she was not here, I am not sure where she has gone off to." I spoke calmly turning the shower off
"That seems really odd for Hermione, I am going to check around the outside of the house, she just went on a walk. Ginny is looking for you, but she is still pinning for you so better put a shirt on Mate." Ron rolled his eyes "Still can't believe you dumped my baby sis."
"Ron, you know it wasn't like that." I sighed.
"Harry, come on mate. You have been pinning after her since you saved her in the Chamber and then you just bailed on her." Ron was growing frustrated with Harry.
"Ronald!" It was Hermione calling from what seemed to be upstairs
"Theres my girl." Ron said with excitement as Hermione came running down the stairs. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming love?"
"Ronald, you hadn't been writing back to me in a few months I assumed you were not getting my letters." Hermione eyed me curious as she hugged Ron a few moments longer
"I've just been busy with the Hogwarts renovation." Ron said smugly
Hermione's POV
The Hogwarts renovation? That cannot be what is keeping his attention. He smells of perfume that neither his mum nor Ginny has ever worn. It smelled familiar though. "Is Luna assisting in the renovation?" I asked without even thinking
"Why would you ask me that Hermione?" Ron seemed put off
"Your robes smell like her perfume." I calmly said taking a step back "She was helping load my truck after a spell ricocheted off of it spewing my things all over the castle. "Okay. Ron, we need to talk." I whispered "Alone."
"I agree, we really do." Ron led me out of his and Harry's shared room and into the cellar where Magic spells are most often practiced.
Ron's POV
Hermione was right, we did need to talk about us. I cheated on her this summer, and I needed to make things right. "Listen Hermione, what I am about to say is not something that I want to say. I slept with Luna earlier this summer. The second trip out to Hogwarts, her father had just died, and she was very emotional. I missed you and I just allowed it to happen. I shouldn't have but I did. I was angry with you for not staying here over the summer but also, I just missed you. Nothing has happened since I swear it, she has not even mentioned it since it happened, nor have I until now."
"I'm sorry, you slept with her months ago?" Hermione took a step back "I did, but I want to make things right. I haven't been good to you, and I really want to try Hermione. I love you, and I think you love me too, you're just scared. You haven't forgiven me from when I left in the search for Horcruxes."
"Ronald, I…" "Hermione please just say that you'll try please. I beg you to." I interjected.
Harry's POV
"Ronald, I…" "Hermione please just say that you'll try please. I beg you to." Ron pleaded with her. I knew Hermione well enough to know she would say yes. She was honorable. She loved him as a friend, and it was the least she could do. "Okay Ron…" she sighed and quickly ran past me and up the stairs, I had slipped in using my cloak to understand what was happening. Now what will happen?
