As soon as Hermione went inside the room, she saw Fred, George, and Harry, looking very grave, Mr. Weasley, who had no expression on his face whatsoever, and Ginny, who was comforting Mrs. Weasley. As soon as everyone realized she was there, they all went wild with questions.
"Did you find him?"
"Where is he?"
"Is he ok?"
"Please tell me he didn't jump!"
"He's fine!" Hermione said over the noise. "He's outside of the door, but he isn't ready to come in yet." Everyone calmed down and sighed in relief.
"Was he about to jump?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Yes," Hermione whispered. "But he didn't." She added when everyone looked horrified. "I'm going to go back out there and talk to him, and when he's ready, he'll come in." Everyone nodded, and she went out in the hallway. Ron was leaning against the wall by the door, looking out the window (their room was at the end of the hall).
"Want to go for a walk now?" Hermione asked Ron, and he nodded. They both went downstairs, out the door, and took the pathway around their hotel. They were in silence for a few minutes until Hermione finally spoke up.
"They're worried about you, Ron," she said. "They don't hate you at all."
"Yeah, well, life's going to be different once I walk in that door," Ron said, looking at the ground with his hands in his pockets.
"How different?" Hermione asked.
"They aren't going to trust me, they'll have someone by me wherever I go, they'll see me in a different way.." Ron said, sighing.
"I don't see you in a different way," Hermione said. "I see you as the same Ron Weasley I knew since our 1st year. Red-haired, blue eyes, funny personality, and dirt on his nose." They both laugh, and that was a surprise, since Ron hadn't laugh for such a long time.
"It'll still be different, though," Ron said, still smiling.
"You'll never know until you see them," Hermione said. "If things are different, then you can talk to them about it."
"You're right," Ron said, and they both stopped. "I still can't believe I tried to..to, kill myself."
"I can't believe it either," Hermione said, and gave him a hug. "You better not try to do anything stupid like that again!" Ron chuckled.
"I won't," he said. "I promise." Then, for the second time, they kissed. It was short because they needed to get back, but it was sweet. As they were right outside the door, Ron took a deep breath as Hermione opened it. She came in first, followed by Ron, and closed the door. That second was the longest second in Ron's life. Mrs. Weasley ran up to him and gave him a huge hug, not wanting to let go, as everyone else was up as well, patting him on the back. Everyone was exploding with questions on why he wanted to die, and he started to tell the whole, long story. Hermione snuck out of the room, unable to rehear the story, and into her own. She layed in bed, hearing everyone talking, then fell asleep.
~*~
Ron finally escaped the chaos saying he needed to speak to Hermione, and it was true. He needed to ask her about a ton of things. He opened the door to their room slowly, and saw that Hermione was asleep. That made Ron smile as he made his way to her. Carefully, he sat on the bed and stroked Hermione's cheek. She woke a few seconds later, and smiled when she saw who it was.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey," Ron said, kissing her on the cheek. Hermione sat up and Ron put his arm around her shoulders as she rested her head on his own shoulders.
"Do you feel alright?" Hermione asked him after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah," Ron said, and there was a slight pause.. "No.." Before he could finish, Hermione gasped deeply and got up on her feet.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO?" she yelled loudly. "DON'T YOU DARE DO ANYTHING YOU'LL REGRET LATER ON IN LIFE, OR ELSE I'LL--"
"Hermione, calm down!" Ron said, taking her hand and seating her on his lap. "I don't want to kill myself." Hermione blushed a deep shade of red. Just then, the door opened and Harry and Ginny came in, like they were in a rush.
"What happened?" Harry asked.
"Nothing," Ron and Hermione said at the same time.
"Oh," Harry said with a sigh of relief. "Ok, then."
"Ron, mum and dad, and everyone, really, wants to watch over you, just in case you feel the urge to..well, you know," Ginny said.
"I won't do that anymore," Ron argued. He knew they'd want to do that.
"I told them that you wouldn't, but they still feel someone should," Ginny said. "I wouldn't blame them, though, Ron."
"You're right, I wouldn't either, but it's going to get very annoying," Ron said, sighing.
"I'll make you a deal," Ginny said. "You promise you *will not* try anything harmful, and I'll tell mum I'll watch you, but I won't, ok?"
"Deal," Ron said, smiling, and shaking her hand. They all got up and went to where the rest of the Weasleys were. Everyone sat there and talked about what they were going to do on the trip, and it seemed like they were avoiding Ron's attempted suicide. Later that night, while Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Fred, and George were asleep, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny sat on the ground in a circle, still talking.
"I can't wait until we go and see the Ifle (sp) Tower!" Ginny said.
"Yeah, me too," Hermione agreed. "I want to get pictures and all. I wonder if Professor Bins would give me extra credit on the wizards that live here."
"Is that all you ever think about? Homework and school?" Ron laughed, along with everyone else. Hermione smiled.
"Yup," she said, making them laugh some more. "I guess it isn't the only thing now, I suppose."
"Oh?" Harry said. "What else is there to think about? Your future job?"
"Yeah, that too, but I'm talking about Ron," Hermione said, smiling at, of course, Ron, who was smiling back
"Awwww," Harry and Ginny said together. A few minutes of silence, then they all got up and went to bed without another word..well, unless you count their, 'I love you' to each other (Harry to Ginny, Ron to Hermione). An hour or so later, Hermione woke up, feeling like she did on that one night she almost jumped off the balcony. She turned on the tv and tuned it down so it wouldn't make the rest waken up. 'What's happening??' Hermione thought. 'I can't control myself!'. She took the keys to the car and left out the door, going into a deep sleep, not knowing what'll happen next. . . . .
