Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter (Enter tears)

A/N: So this chapter is short but I have a lot of prewritten chapters. I know it moves quickly but I don't really care. Review please!

Hermione

I didn't know what I was going to do. I couldn't even seem to get up. I had enough. It had to stop. It was now or never. With a lot of effort I stood and walked over to my fire place. I sprinkled a bit of flu powder inside. I leaned my head into the fire.

"Ron?" Hermione called.

"Coming!" He called out as he entered the room. "HERMIONE!"

"Hi Ron!" She said happily.

"How have you been? It's been a long time!" He said quickly.

"I'm okay. Umm…I was actually wondering if I might be able to come for a visit?" She replied.

"YEAH! That would be great! Is Eli going to come as well?" He replied without hesitation.

"Umm…No it'll just be me." I replied.

"Oh, okay. When were you thinking of coming?" Ron asked excited.

"Umm…tonight?" She asked hesitantly.

"Really? Is everything alright?" He asked worried.

"Yeah! I just have a chance to visit and like you said it's been so long." She said quickly.

"Yeah I know. Well, come over anytime! I'm more than glad to have you." Ron said happily.

"Thanks, I'll flu over soon." She said with a small smile.

"See you then." Ron said and she pulled her head out of the fire place.

She had a feeling that things might be okay now. She quickly gathered some of her clothes and her toiletries. She really was excited to go see Ron. She'd only been to his new flat once but she knew that it was cozy. He now lived on his own away from his siblings and his wonderful parents. She hadn't seen any of them in a long time but she hoped that she might be able to while she was with Ron. Hermione made sure she had the last of the stuff she needed and then she rushed to the fire place. She heard the front door open as she threw her powder down and said Ron's address aloud. She was spinning through the green flames until she stepped out into a small sitting room.

Ron

Ron heard someone call from the sitting room. He stood grinning and rushed in.

"Hermione!" Ron said as he approached her happily.

"Hello Ron!" Hermione replied beaming.

Ron rushed up and gave Hermione a huge hug but to his surprise she winced as soon as his arms wrapped around her.

"Sorry." He said pulling back a questioning look in his eyes.

"Oh, it's okay I'm just a bit swore." She said with a shrug.

"From what?" He asked curious.

"Not sure. How have you been?" She asked changing the subject.

"I'm alright. Working a lot. What about you? How's work?" He asked gesturing to the sofa.

"Oh. Umm… I'm not working anymore." She said sitting down.

"Really? But I thought you loved your job!" He asked confused.

"I did! But you know Eli is working and he likes it when, well it's nice to be home." She said with a smile.

"Never pictured you as a stay at home wife." Ron said thinking. It was true Hermione was always an on the go girl. He couldn't even try to imagine her being at home all day doing nothing.

"Yeah. I guess I didn't really either." She said with a little laugh.

"Well, as long as you're happy." Ron said smiling back at her.

"Yeah." She said with a small smile and looking at her feet.

"Hermione, is everything okay?" Ron asked curiously.

"Oh. Yeah everything is fine, why do you ask?" She said quickly.

"What's wrong, Hermione?" Ron asked he knew something was wrong.

"Nothing." She replied to fast.

"Why are you lying?" He asked looking at her intently.

She hung her head and sighed. "Ron. It's complicated."

"Explain it to me." Ron replied.

"Please not now. Later I promise. For now I really need to get some rest. If that's okay. I know that you deserve to know and I'll tell you. If you want me to leave I will…"

"No! I don't want you to leave. Here I'll take you to your room." He said standing and grabbing her bag.

"Thanks, Ron." Hermione said standing as well.

Hermione and Ron walked down the hall to the very last bedroom on the left hand side.

"Hermione, you know I'll be here for you…always." Ron said looking at her.

"I know, Ron. Thanks." Hermione said kissing his cheek. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Ron replied and turned and walked back down the hall. He had missed Hermione so much. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was really wrong. He knew it must be horrible. Ron went in his room and got ready for bed. He laid down in his bed and touched his cheek where Hermione had kissed him. He couldn't believe she could still make him feel the way he felt right now. He couldn't believe he was still in love with her.
