Continue Story (I copy and paste from internet) - Chapter 18 - 'HE KNEW EACH TEAR BEFORE IT CAME – HERMIONE AND GEORGE'
CHAPTER 18
Hermione flushed a deep shade of red. “Oh…Just a memory,” she replied. She looked over at George who was standing next to her and flushed a deeper shade.
“Come on Herms. What’s the memory?” Fred pushed. Hermione didn’t answer and she turned an even deeper red. Her face almost completely matched Ron’s hair color. “Was it by any chance the night you and Geo…”
“SHUT UP FRED,” Hermione said through gritted teeth.
“It is that then,” Ginny said as they watched Hermione turn a brighter red. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, and Fleur all looked at Hermione with a confused look. “It’s really not all that important. It’s just good that it helped get rid of that dementor!” Ginny said as Hermione gave her a low five.
“We need to get back dad,” Bill said as he looked at his father. Mr. Weasley nodded his head and the two of them apparaited out of the room.
“I guess ve need to leave too,” Fleur said to Mrs. Weasley. Mrs. Weasley nodded and Fleur apparaited away.
“You four can stay if you would like too but remember to bring Ginny back too,” she said before she apparaited away too.
“So…What’s this memory?” Ron asked looking at them confused.
“A few nights ago,” Hermione began, “George brought me to this wonderful beach on the
“It was pretty amazing,” Ginny said.
“Until she passed out that is,” Fred said.
“WHAT?!” Ron yelled, looking scared.
“After all the dementors had gone, Bill had to force her to lower her wand,” Fred said. “I mean he physically had to make her lower her wand by bringing her arm down. And then she passed out.”
“We were upstairs in her room watching everything happen from her window,” Ginny said. “It scared the wits out of mum and George when she passed out.” Ron shot his brother an angry look that everyone, but George, had seen. Hermione let out a soft sigh and looked over at Ron who was still glaring at his older brother. “It was still pretty cool how she ran out to help them right away.”
Ron looked over at Hermione and gave her a questioning look. Hermione nodded her head knowing exactly what he was asking. “How long?” he asked.
Ginny, Fred, and George gave him a confused look but Hermione just said, “A few hours.”
Ginny looked over at Ron, who now looked as if he was going to explode, and realized what he had meant. “Come on Fred and George. Let’s go get something to drink,” she said.
“I’m not thirsty,” George said.
“Yes you are,” Ginny replied as she dragged her older brothers out of the room to leave Hermione and Ron alone.
When they were sure that they were alone, Ron let out a sigh. “What happened?” he asked. “Why did you start going out with George?”
Hermione shook her head and started to pace the floor in front of his bed. “You broke up with me to not only try to keep me safe but so that you wouldn’t be tied down and George was there to listen to me and I just started to fall for him,” she explained.
Ron looked at his hands and up at his best friend. “You know?” he asked.
“You’re not the first person to break up with me to not be tied down when going somewhere,” she said as she sat down at the edge of the bed. “I love you Ron but being broken up with for that reason makes me see that we can only be…”
“Best friends,” he said with a small, fake smile on his face.
