Hermione sighed. School was becoming unbearable. She was incredibly large now, and to be quite honest, she was ready for this baby to come out. Only two more months to go, she thought to herself. She walked down the hallway, trying not to make eye contact with anyone. All they ever did was point and stare, and Hermione was sick of it. Couldn't they find someone else to talk about?
She bustled to DADA, trying to get there before class started. She made it to her seat and sat down mere seconds before everyone piled in. She didn't know why she even bothered coming to class. No one let her do anything anyway. She simply opened her textbook and re-read the passage due for today; while everyone else paired up into groups practicing the defensive spells they were being taught. This was stupid. Her N.E.W.T.S were coming up, and she needed all the practice she could get, but no one would help her. She would have to try and convince Harry to duel with her later.
She was glad to be leaving school soon, but there were a lot of loose ends she needed to try and tie up, including Ron. She had to try and talk to him, Ginny too. In fact, she knew where Ginny was right now, and decided she would go and speak to her. Once class was finished, she stood up and gathered her things, heading towards the library. She made her way there and went towards the back, where she knew Ginny would be sitting.
Ginny smiled nervously when she saw Hermione sit down next to her. "Hey Mione, what's up?" She asked. Ginny wasn't sure if Hermione would hold her family's beliefs against her.
Hermione twiddled with her fingers before facing Ginny. She wanted to make amends, but she didn't know where to begin. She didn't know how to fix something that had broken before she could do anything to stop it. Gathering up her Gryffindor courage, she turned and looked Ginny in the eye. "Nothing, I was just hoping we could talk about things." She blushed, hoping Ginny would want to reconcile with her.
Ginny started smiling. "I'd like that a lot, Hermione." Ginny missed having her best friend around. Plus, the tension between Hermione and her had been causing tension between Harry and her as well. She missed having her boyfriend around; especially since Harry had made it obvious that he would choose Hermione over her if she were to side with her family. Shaking these thoughts from her mind, Ginny reached across the table and grabbed one of Hermione's hands in her own. "Mione, you're my best friend. Nothing will ever change how I feel. Please, believe me... I've missed you." Ginny looked at Hermione, pleading with her eyes.
Hermione threw her arms around Ginny and started crying into her shoulder. Ginny was surprised at first, but then welcomed the contact, gently rubbing circles on Hermione's back. "Shhh," she whispered, "everything is okay. We're okay. Mione, you know I'd never abandon you."
Hermione leaned back, wiping the tears away from her eyes. "Ginny, I was just so scared. I was terrified you would side with Ron and your mother. This has been so hard on me, and I don't even know who I can trust anymore. I'm sorry for whatever has happened between us, but please, just understand that I was scared."
"Hermione, my family is being stupid. My mum is sticking her nose where it doesn't belong, and Ron, well; Ron is just being a jealous git. He doesn't deserve you. They could never make me turn my back on you. I saw how perfect you and Sirius were. I know you'll never love another man the same way. Please, just, don't worry Mione. Me, Harry, and Remus will protect you, we all love and care for you. Hell, Fred and George support you too, and they went crazy at mum for acting the way she did," Ginny said, trying to make Hermione see that she loved her, that they all did, regardless of whatever would happen.
Hermione smiled. "I'm so sorry Gin. I don't deserve to have a friend like you." She paused, and then added, "But I'm glad I do."
Ginny lightly smacked her arm. "Now that's just the hormones talking! Let's just put this whole thing behind us, agreed?"
Hermione nodded, "Of course." Hermione relaxed back into the chair, glad that she had cleared the air with Ginny.
Ginny smiled, "So how's my little Eridanus doing?"
Hermione beamed, "He's doing good! I went to see the healer yesterday. I can't wait for this to be over. My legs are cramping like you wouldn't believe, and I have to pee nonstop!"
Ginny laughed, "Oh, the joys of motherhood. It'll be over before you know it, so enjoy!" She continued to laugh while Hermione just scowled.
Hermione looked at her friend, "So what's going on with you and Harry?"
Ginny sighed, "I don't know. I feel like we're on two different pages. I love him to death, always will, but sometimes, I just feel like he doesn't care about me as much as I do for him. And he's so skittish when I try to bring our relationship up. I just, I don't know what to do Mione. I love him, but I don't want to stay just to get my heart broken. I don't know what to do, or even say to him. And he's been so secretive lately, it's annoying. He barely has time for me."
"Ginny, you know Harry loves you to death. He always has. It's just, he has a lot on his plate right now, and you know that. He has me to worry about, I know he's still grieving over Sirius, and then there is Voldemort. Harry's been throwing himself into that mission, so it's understandable he doesn't have time for us, but he's just trying to do what's best."
"I know Mione, it just really sucks," Ginny said with a half-hearted laugh.
Hermione nodded, "I know, trust me, I know. But look at it this way; he's doing what he's doing to protect you. He doesn't want to place you in anymore danger."
Ginny nodded, but remained quiet. She knew her relationship with Harry was on the rocks, and she felt horrible because it was mostly her fault. But she had feelings and needs too, but no one even knew about them, or maybe they just didn't care. She opened her mouth to say something, but then quickly closed it.
They were interrupted when Harry came round the corner looking for Hermione. He stopped when he saw the two of them together, unsure of what was going on. Hermione, sensing that he and Ginny needed to talk, stood and excused herself. Besides, she was tired, and that qualified for nap-time. Smiling, she left them alone.

Harry sat in the seat that Hermione had just vacated. It was quiet, for neither of them knew what to say. Ginny looked at Harry, waiting for him to say something, anything. She gave him a small smile of encouragement.
Harry looked at her, the love of his life. He gently placed a strand of her flaming red hair behind her ear, looking straight into her eyes. Cupping her face lightly, he kissed her. His lips brushed over hers softly. He had missed her, and she had missed him. She placed her hand on his cheek, and pulled back, breaking the gentle kiss that had lasted for what had seemed like ages.
He smiled. Sure, he didn't give Ginny a lot of his time, but everyone knew he was busy. He was busy trying to end the war. But what mattered the most was the time they spent together. She would always be there for him. She would always be his light at the end of the tunnel.
Ginny smiled back, looking into his beautiful green eyes. That one kiss took away all of her worries. He would always be in her heart, and she would always be in his. Their love was strong enough to conquer anything. Taking his hands into hers, she kissed them.
"I love you Harry Potter."
"And I love you Ginny Weasley."
