Hermione just sat on the couch, unable to sleep. She stayed up trying to come to terms with everything that had happened with Ron and Ginny. She knew she had to handle the Ginny situation very carefully.
Despite the dire situation before her, Hermione's thoughts drifted back to Harry. Ron might have been wrong about many things but he saw where her heart truly belonged. She remembered what he had said to her once during a big argument.
“You think I don't see it. The way you react when someone mentions his name. The look in your eyes when you see his name in the Daily Prophet or a book. The way you always smile when you say his DAM NAME! It's the same stupid smile you get sitting alone. You think I can't see it but I see it all. Then you look at me with disgust, pity, and a growing hatred.”
He was right she realized. Hermione would often sit and think about everything that had happened during the Horcrux hunt. She remembered it all the good and the bad....mainly the bad. The scars she had sustained from Bellatrix were a constant reminder. However the thing she thought about the most was Ron leaving and being with Harry.
The heart break of Ron's departure devastated them both but harry would always find ways to keep her entertained. Jokes, games, they even danced a little, But mainly they just talked. Usually about their rough childhood and how they both had grown up lonely.
Hermione told him things she never told anyone. Like how she thought she was losing her mind when her bully's all got there comeuppance in bizarre fashion. From magic wedgies to being magically thrown and locked into her locker while they tried to rob her. She remembered how she was forced to do one of her bully's homework. The next day he came down with a horrible case of acne that spelled cheater on his forehead (later inspiring her famous DA curse).
She also heard of his time with the Dursleys and all the horrible things he went through. It was upsetting for her to here how he suffered. It also made her feel closer to Harry knowing they both went through hard times. Hermione realized she felt closer to him then anyone.
Then Ron came back and it was over. She was so mad at him for leaving, so mad at him for breaking her heart, so mad at him for thinking he good be forgiven. The more she thought about it over the years, The more she knew the truth. She was mad at him for coming back. Coming between her and Harry. They slowly fell back in love and her feelings for Harry where deeply buried. The more time went by the more those old feelings would continue to reappear. No wonder Ron was mad she thought, maybe it was her fault in some small way.
Hermione brushed away that thought immediately in disgust. She went upstairs to the washroom where she looked into the mirror. Hermione waved her wand and saw her face battered for the first time. She hadn't gotten a good look at it before since she had been in such a hurry to leave Ron. Seeing it now made her gasp and made her remember the look on Harry's face when he saw her like this.
“I am not a victim” she said to herself as she started to heal her eye. She did this by removing little bits of glass and rubbing disinfectant on the swelling. Hermione was not going to use magic for this.
“I am Hermione Granger. I am a witch. I am not weak, I am not meek, I am strong. I am a writer. I am a fighter, I am smart. I am courageous, brave, kind, good, I am beautiful”. She said already feeling and looking better. Her thoughts drifted back to Ginny, before adding “I am ready for whats coming”.
She was finally able to open her eye properly and saw Harry looking from the doorway.
“How long have you been there” She asked startled.
“Just a second but I could hear you from the bedroom. Where did you learn that” Harry asked with a wry smile on his face,
“Something my mom taught me” She said.
Harry smiled “You look prettier already”.
“I will not be covering my eye with magic anymore Harry. I am not ashamed” she added. “What are you doing up? I thought you'd be passed out at least until morning”.
“Nightmares” Harry answered slowly. “They never escape me especially this one with Ginny....” he drifted off .
Hermione saw the ring was back on his hand. She grabbed for it but Harry pulled away and backed up into the door. Harry's face was of pure fear and Hermione's suspicions where confirmed.
“Harry we need to talk” Hermione said as calmly as she could.
“Ab..about w..w..what.” Harry stuttered as if he was Professor Quirrell. He pressed against the door trying to find the handle.
“Her” Hermione simply said, it was worse then she had thought.
“You mean Luna I wonder how she is...”
“GINNY HARRY GINNY” Hermione yelled realized subtlety wasn't going to work. “YOU”VE GOT TO STOP WHAT YOUR DOING......TAKE OFF THAT RING!!!!”
“You don't understand Hermione I need it” Harry begged.
“I do understand Harry. I understand that it's going to kill you” Hermione insisted.
“But it will break Ginny's heart” Harry argued.
“Ginny's the one who is going to kill you” Hermione cried.
Harry stopped at this. “What.....what do you mean?” Harry face turned pale as the horrible memory's started to return.
At that moment the door burst open and Ginny stood there with the same unreadable face as before.
“Your going to have to tell him the truth Hermione he doesn't know” Her cold voice spoke.
Hermione was baffled. “What do you mean he doesn't know. He has to know. He is the one that's causing this”.
Ginny whispered sadly. “How much more pain did you think he could take. How much more could anyone take. After everything he has been through is it really a surprise. He couldn't handle it. We all have are ways of dealing with grief and guilt. His was to suppress it until he believed it was just a bad dream. Mine was...”
“What Ginny” Harry cried. “Whats going on. He paused as if something was starting to click in his head. “No It was just a nightmare.....Please Ginny, Hermione....” Harry was begging now. It was all starting to comeback to him but he had too be wrong.
Ginny looked at Hermione who was only now starting to realize the extent of the situation. She held back her tears and looked Harry dead in the eye. She said the words she knew she had to say the words she knew would tear Harry apart.
“Harry Ginny's .....Dead".
