Hermione's Battle
By Jessiqua



I do not own any of the Harry Potter world, that belongs to the incredible JK Rowling. This story was inspired by my own personal life, The Girl in Times Square by Paullina Simons, and Doctor James Wilson from House. The banner was made by me. I hope whoever is reading this will enjoy it.




Chapter One
Impossible Diagnosis


Hermione paced at the doctor’s office. Something just wasn’t right. She felt so ill, all the time. Ron was not there, he didn’t even know she was seeing a doctor. Well, nobody knew. She had gone to St. Mungos’ but they had not been able to tell her anything, and had referred her to a Doctor in America. "The Best," Healer Brostov had told her. What was wrong? She had been asking herself for the past three months. So, here she was during her second appointment in the office of a muggle doctor, Doctor James Wilson. Healer Brostov at St. Mungos’ had made her this appointment, and as she had Dentist and muggle parents she was comfortable with him, knowing the ways and methods of Doctors. Plus, Doctor Wilson was exceptionally lovely. She had apparated into the alleyway two streets from the Hospital. The same place she had apparated to last time.

Hermione was now 22, and beginning three months ago she began feeling very unwell. She first thought she wasn’t getting enough sleep, because she was constantly tired. So she stopped doing as much, like cooking, cleaning, babysitting, studying, working… and started resting, then sleeping. Then she thought it was the Flu, but it just didn't go away. Now, it was at the point she had to quit her studies, her babysitting, household duties, and only worked four half days. After a while, the tiredness began to ache, if possible - she thought. Her limbs hurt. She lost weight. What else? She didn’t remember. She went to St. Mungos’ for Flu treatment, but they wouldn’t give her anything, like they had the last time. She had originally thought that it was a nastier flu bug, until the tests began. Then the bruises appeared where she hadn’t even bumped or hit herself. One on her lower back kept spreading, and she knew it was something a bit worse than the flu.

Miss Granger,” said Dr. Wilson, entering the room with her files. “Please take a seat,” he said, gesturing to the large leather seat in front of his desk. He too took a seat behind his desk. “How do you feel?” he asked.
Well, I feel awful,” she said and gave him a smile.
He studied her for a while, before opening her folder. “Miss. Granger-
Please, Dr. Wilson, call me Hermione,” she said.
He nodded, saying “Hermione, we have some results. We need to give you a bone marrow biopsy,” he said gently. “Your lab results have alerted us that you may have Leukaemia.

A small crease formed in the middle of her eyebrows. She looked down into her lap. How can I tell Ron? Was her first thought. Cancer… I’m going to die, was her second. “Cancer?” she asked.
Dr. Wilson looked down into his hands, which were folded, and sitting on the table. “Yes Hermione, cancer; we won’t be able to give you an official diagnosis until we perform the bone marrow biopsy, but unfortunately your blood results showed an abnormally elevated white blood cell count, and a severe red blood cell and platelet deficiency. That’s why you have been so tired, and bruising. Your blood is unable to carry oxygen around your body, and your decrease of platelets have made you extremely susceptible for bruising because they can’t perform their job to stop the bleeds,” he explained in the words he thought Hermione would understand. He was wrong. Hermione knew exactly what he was talking about.
Well… tell-tell me about this bone marrow transplant,” she said, and a tear trickled down her face. She was really regretting not telling Ron. He could have been here to comfort her. This was just too much and she let out a very loud exhale with a loud cry of despair. The tears were just streaming down her face. She didn’t even have the energy to sob. Doctor Wilson stood up and walked over to her, leaning against his desk. He out his hand on her back and rubbed it.
Hermione, I understand this is very hard for you. Is there anyone I can call? Your parents, or a friend?” he asked.
No, I haven’t told anyone. I… flew in from England,” she said through the tears.
His head bowed. Poor girl, he thought, and his heart broke. He was used to telling people they had cancer, but those people were usually elderly, and usually had loved ones with them. They were prepared for the news. Not this girl.
Hermione if the biopsy returns positive we will have to begin treatment immediately. The treatment is aggressive chemotherapy, and we will discuss with you fertility options.” As he had suspected, with such a young beautiful woman, she broke down even more if he had thought that was possible. Because she was so alone, he pulled her up into a hug. She melted against him and sobbed hard into his chest.

Chapter Two
How To Confide?


Hermione was booked in two days later for her bone marrow biopsy. Dr. Wilson had told her “Hermione, I need you to tell someone. Tell a friend, a neighbour, your parents… just tell someone.” So, now she was faced with a question; Ron or her parents? Who did she tell first? How did she tell them? She had left Dr. Wilson’s office, and was now back in the street ready to disapparate. Instead of going home, or to someone else’s house, she went to a cliff. A cliff that had so many memories. She sat on the wet ground and looked over it, at the trees, the birds, the couple on the ground laughing together.

The next destination was the Burrow. The one person she needed most in the world right at that moment was inside. She knew Ron wouldn’t be there – he was at work with Harry and Percy. Ginny was off at practice, George was at the shop, Fleur and Bill were at the Shell Cottage. She knocked, and was greeted by Arthur. “Oh, hello Arthur, is Molly home?” she asked softly.
He had greeted her with one of his famous smiles, and pulled her in to a small hug. “Yes, of course, come right in,” he said and stood aside.
She entered with what she hoped looked like a smile and walked into the Kitchen where Molly was busy preparing Dinner, and knitting a jumper. Hermione took in the sight. She was a plump woman with red hair, a smile that warmed your heart, and a hug that fought away the demons. She turned around, smiled, and walked towards Hermione.
Hello dear, what a surprise – what’s wrong?” she said. In that instance her face went from a smile to completely serious.
At that – Hermione fell to the floor and let the tears drain out. Molly exchanged a look of worry with Arthur, and kneeled beside her, pulling her in to a hug. She brushed her hair from her face, and kissed her on the top of her head. Arthur walked over and together they pulled Hermione up, and guided her to the lounge chair. Arthur summoned three firewhiskeys and Hermione downed it in one.
I-h…have… I saw a doctor in Am-merica whose an On-On-Oncologist.” She started.
An Omonology?” said Arthur and looked at Molly, puzzled. What was that? He wondered.
It’s a muggle doctor, who spe-cializes in C-c…Cancer,” she said and cried. Molly and Arthur had heard that word before.

So in two days I need to go back to see him and he is going to take a biopsy from my bone marrow,” she explained. Before they asked she expanded on that; “they just need to put a… small needle in my hip and take some of the marrow in my bone. Then they will send that off to see if the cells are cancerous and if they are they will start me on treatment right away,” she explained, after calming down. That Firewhisky worked wonders.
They were sitting at the table now. Ron would be home soon, and Hermione was faced with telling him. At least she had told someone, maybe it would be easier.

It was almost dinner, and Ron was home. He gave Hermione a big hug, spinning her around – she was out of bed! He gave her a long kiss on the lips and smiled at her. He loved her so completely. Harry walked in moments later, giving her a squeezy-hug, asking her how she was. Ginny came in, sweaty and red. She put her arm around Hermione. George came in, ruffled her hair and gave her a wink. She perked up because she was surrounded by friends and family.
They ate dinner and talked about their days. “Fine, I just helped cook dinner,” she lied, which made Ron beam. He had been getting so worried about her, but now she might be getting better. When they left later that night, Molly gave her a big hug and whispered “you must tell him, and tell him quickly. Tell him and he can go with you.

They walked half way home, hand in hand. They only lived over the hill. Hermione stopped, asking if they could just apparate home. She couldn't even walk the rest of the way. Ron picked her up in his arms and carried her the rest of the way. It slowly dawned on him that she wasn't getting better at all, but something else was happening. When they got inside, Ron went to get her some tea, and Hermione fainted on the lounge.[/FONT]

Chapter Three
Pain in my "hip"


Hermione woke up in bed. The sun was streaming through a crack in the curtains. She felt awful! What happened? She couldn’t remember anything since telling Molly and Arthur about the Bone Marrow Transplant. “Oh my gosh!” she said loudly, sitting up… slowly. “What day is it? RON? What day is it?” she yelled, crawling out of bed and walking slowly and wobbly to the kitchen. Ron was sitting at the table, with a tissue in his hand. Hermione looked around and saw a few small piles of scrunched up tissues.
Cancer?” he said. “You didn’t think I deserved to know?” He had been crying. His eyes were red and puffy, and tears kept welling in his eyes.
Ron,” she whispered, sliding down the wall and onto the floor. “I couldn’t find the words. I love you so much and I didn’t want to hurt you. I was-was going to te-ll you when it-when the diagnosis was definitely ca-ancerous cells,” she sobbed. “How did you find out?
He stood up and joined her on the floor, pulling her into a hug. “Mum told me,” he said, deeply. “You’ve been asleep for 18 hours, Hermione. You couldn’t even walk home after dinner, and it’s only a 3 minute walk. And then you fainted, and I couldn’t wake you. I had to call mum over here to help me, we carried you into bed and then… She told me. She had to, Hermione,” he said, his voice breaking every so often.
Hermione was sure of one thing. If this cancer didn’t kill her, the sorrow in Ron’s voice just might.
Oh, no, Ron. I have to be back at the Hospital tomorrow for a B-” she started, and realised she owed Ron the whole story. She told him how ill she had felt, that St. Mungo’s wouldn’t treat her, and how they had referred her to a Hospital in America with, what they had heard, great facilities for Muggles – somewhere that Hermione could be treated. She told him about her two appointments, and the Bone Marrow Biopsy that would be done tomorrow. “We didn’t get into the specific details about treatment, though. But my aunt died of cancer when I was 8, and she had chemotherapy which kills the cancer. But, I’m not sure what the treatment is for this cancer. Will you come with me tomorrow?” she asked, wondering if he would forgive her for keeping this from him.
Of course,” he said kissing her head.

Hermione packed her small handbag with pyjamas, her pillow, an assortment of books, her photo album, paperwork for admission, muggle money, and a few other bits and pieces, ready for whatever this unfortunate journey may require. Arthur had managed to book them in to a Hotel nearby the Hospital. It was a Hotel for Witches and Wizards called the Creaky Phial and it was only a few towns away from the Hospital, which meant Hermione wouldn’t have to apparate so far.
There was a knock at the door, and downstairs Hermione heard the familiar voices of Molly, Arthur and Bill. After putting Ron’s backpack in her bag, she made her way down stairs to greet them. After a long hug and an extensive ‘good luck’ from everyone, Ron and Hermione went outside and apparated to the greeting hall of the Creaky Phial. They were greeted by a large, balding woman named Elmipha who greeted them with a handshake and walked them upstairs to their room. She was booked in for the biopsy at 11am, but needed to be there at 8am to go through everything.
Dinner will start being served downstairs in the dining room in half an hour. Then we will have some um… pre supper entertainment,” she said with a smile and a wink and left. Hermione sat down, but after a minute she couldn’t hold herself up and she flopped down. “Ron, can you go into my bag and get me my pillow, pyjamas and my robes?” she asked.
Bloody hell, Hermione, you’re not going to bed now are you? Tonight could be the last night we are actually out. Please come down for dinner and to watch whatever they’ve got going on down there with me,” he said.
Ron, I’m not going to sleep. I just want to have everything ready for when I get back. Please, help,” she said, and Ron got her things for her.

They went down for dinner, and ate a three course meal, followed by hot cocoa, and fruit. The entertainment was a comedy show. It was very entertaining, there were three, apparently, professional comedians, and they had a stand up part at the end, allowing the audience to come up. Hermione and Ron sat at their table, drinking and eating their supper, and laughed. For two entire hours, they had forgotten what tomorrow would hold. They were so happy, living in the moment, together.

The next morning, Hermione woke up at 7. Ron helped her get dressed, and helped her downstairs – after triple checking everything was there. They thanked the maids and apparated to the alleyway near the hospital. They were greeted in the day procedure clinic by Dr. Wilson who shook hands with Ron, and pulled a chair up for himself next to the bed Hermione was laying in. “How have you been feeling?” he asked, knowing the answer.
I feel… I feel so deprived of sleep, and energy. And I’m a bit scared,” she confessed.
Dr. Wilson smiled, sympathetically.
Scared of what part?” he asked.
All of it. The pain of the biopsy, the treatment, the outcomes… dying” she confessed.
All real fears that every one of my patients have, Hermione. As for the pain, we will give you some medication to stop you from feeling the most of it, and hopefully all of the pain. The treatment, we will discuss when we get the results. Of course, your treatment will depend on the staging and what cells might be in your marrow, and the same about your outcomes. When I get the results I will be able to go through those things in much more detail. As for dying, we won’t know anything just yet. Try to take it day by day until we figure out what we are working with,” he explained to them. There was something different about this Hermione… she was different than all the patients he had taken care of.
Okay, thank you doctor,” she said.

Pretty soon, it was time for the procedure. Dr. Wilson was in the sterile procedure room waiting for her. She was all gowned up and so was he. They had asked her to walk in, because she could, and she was instructed by the kind nurse to lay on the bed on her stomach.
Now Hermione, we don’t usually offer a sedative, but we do give you a local anaesthetic. It will numb most of the pain, but you might still feel the pressure and it might hurt when we remove the biopsy, but everyone is different,” said Dr. Wilson, as he prepared the anaesthetic. “Just a sting now Hermione, take a deep breath,” he said and injected the needle.
Hermione tensed, it hurt a lot. But Ron was there, gowned up too, holding her hand. They had sat him in front of the bed so that he could hold her hand and help her breathe through it.
Okay that’s done, can you feel it begin to numb?” he said applying pressure to the area.
Yes I think so,” she said.
After a moment, he prepared the needle to perform the biopsy. “Hermione I need you to focus on your breathing, deep breaths. I’m just putting the needle in,” he said.
She felt pressure on her back as he put the needle into her bone.
Okay, now I’m going to take a bit of fluid, and then I’ll take the tissue sample,” he said.
Oww,” she said through clenched teeth.
Does it hurt?” said Ron. Well of course, he thought.
No just… stings a little,” she said. She looked into Ron’s eyes and focused on them. They were open with fear. She knew he didn’t want her to be in pain, and it scared him when she was because it was just something that he couldn’t fix.
All done, Hermione,” said Dr. Wilson. “We’re just going to clean and bandage the area, and then we will wheel you back to your room."
She smiled at Ron, and then the bed was wheeled back to her room. She was transferred to her bed, and she fell right asleep, Ron holding her hand, and Dr. Wilson standing at the foot of her bed.

It is pretty heartbreaking. Just when they thought they got over the Battle, another one just begins!

Chapter Four
Induction


The results came back two days later, and Hermione was called at the Leaky Phial to make an appointment. The miraculous thing about the Leaky Phial was the way its visitors could use Muggle electricity and magic. The two never clashed. Their room was what they classified "Muggle Living" and it had a telephone, which Ron had fun with, and even a TV, which Hermione had fun with. They decided to take the two days to lock themselves away from the world and spend time together. They hadn't had much time to do that for... well, since the Summer Holidays following the Battle of Hogwarts. Ron or Hermione were either working or Hermione needed to study, so their timetable clash left little time for them to have more than a night together. This was good - two whole days.

They had breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in bed. They went shopping at the muggle supermarkets, and Hermione cooked! Ron was overjoyed. She hadn't cooked since about two months prior. She just didn't have the energy, but after the biopsy she just found a small pocket of energy and took none of it for granted. Both nights they had a romantic bath in the spa-sized tub. Bubbles, chocolates and champagne! They fell asleep at the same time, and woke up together. Then they would sip their morning tea together and talk. No rushing, no silence to read the paper, instead they had all the time in the world... for those two days. They almost forgot about what they were facing, but it was still in the back of their mind.

So, when Hermione got the phone call on the Thursday morning to let her know about the appointment, they now faced the answers which neither of them wanted to hear.
"Hello, Hermione, it's Dr. Wilson. How are you?" he asked.
"I'm okay, Thank you, but please, just let me know what's going on," she replied.
"You need to come in today, we have your results. Will you be free after 12?" he asked.
"Yes, I will be. I'll be there at 12," she said, "Goodbye," and hung up the phone. Ron had just choked on his tea, and Hermione stared at him.
"What did he say?" Ron asked.
"Um... We have to be there by 12," she replied, and looked at the clock on the wall. "Two hours," she said, and her stomach dropped. Two hours until the end of her life.
Ron looked down into his mug. Hermione grabbed a towel and moped up the spilled tea.
"Ron, can we please leave the room? I can't stay in here," she said - suddenly feeling out of breath.
"Calm down," Ron said to her, standing up and rubbing her back. "Take some deep breaths," he said, and instructed her.
After a few moments, she calmed down. "I have to stop panicking," she said. She walked over to the bed and got her bag, and they left. They walked around the block a bit, and went to some Muggle shops. Hermione was already very familiar with the items in the shops, but Ron was most interested. He found things like Mobile Phone Socks. He just didn't understand - phones didn't have feet! He saw children's picture books with pictures that didn't move... "Why aren't the pictures moving?" he asked her, shaking the book, poking the pictures, flicking them... even talking to them. She laughed, explaining it all to him. He still didn't understand.

At 11.30 they made their way to the hospital. Hermione was gripping Ron's hand with a great squeeze, and he was trying not to ask her to release it. They went up to the Receptionist who told them "Please take a seat, Dr. Wilson won't be long."
They sat down, and Ron picked up a magazine. Again - no moving pictures! What was the interesting thing about seeing the Hollywood celebrities being caught doing something, without actually seeing their response? It just didn't interest him. He liked his mum's and Ginny's gossip magazines with people like Iris Scaplen being caught doing her private business behind a bush, seeing the cameras flashing and running away, trying to pull her pants up. That was funny! But before he could ask Hermione, Dr. Wilson came out of his office.

"Hermione," he said, waiting for her to stand up and come into his office with Ron. He shook both their hands, and gestured for them to sit down. He had her file on the desk, and a look of concern on his face. "Now, we have the results, as I said. They... came back to show that you do have Leukaemia, Hermione. I'm very sorry. Now, the cancer has been progressing for quite some time, so treatment will begin almost instantly. Our first step is to insert a Hickman line which is an intravenous catheter surgically inserted under your skin in your chest, and the line will go directly to a larger vein near your heart. The point of that is to allow us to administer your chemotherapy without needing to constantly insert new peripheral lines. Are you free today for insertion of the line?" he asked gently.
"Uhm, Ron? I think I am," she said, a bit puzzled. She was a bit shocked at how well she had taken the news. Sure, she knew there was a high chance she was sick, but she had kept that little part open just in case it was all a mistake. But it wasn't, and here she was accepting what she was hearing, inner-preparing herself for what was soon to come.
Ron nodded, and Dr. Wilson spoke. "Okay, well I'll get the nurses to prepare you for the procedure. We will put you under sedation because it can be quite scary, especially with what lays ahead," he explained. The nurse came in and escorted her to a bed, where she sat and waited with Ron for about an hour. Dr. Wilson finally came up, showing her the line that would be inserted, and explained some of the chemotherapy drugs that would be administered, and explained all the various side effects. "The biggest ones which I'm sure you are aware of, is hair loss, nausea, vomiting and bleeding. There are things we can do to help control the nausea and vomiting, but we can't do much to prevent hair loss, or bleeding. Then there is the extremely high risk of infection due to the destruction of all your good cells. You will get sick easier, so we ask visitors not to come in when they are ill, and if you do get sick you might need to be in isolation. But, it is only for your benefit."

The nurse came in and helped prepare the area, and helped her to the procedure room. The doctor administered the anaesthetic and she fell asleep. When she woke up, about two hours later, Ron was there reading a magazine with a puzzled look on his face. Hermione let out a very weak laugh, and looked at her newly installed Hickman line, ready to start the treatment.

Dr. Wilson came in a few minutes after she had woken up to explain the treatment further. "Now, if you would like we can leave treatment until Monday morning, and give you the weekend to visit friends and family members, collect some things and come back for 8am Monday. Now, we usually begin treatment with the Induction phase which is the first phase of chemotherapy and aims to kill all the cancerous cells in your body. We will do 6-8 rounds of that, and each round will last a week. In that week you will have three days of chemotherapy, and five days of recovery before we start again. The first three weeks we will try to have you in hospital, but after that we will see how you are doing and you might be able to go home for the five days recover. Do you understand what I'm saying?" he asked.
"Yes. So I can go home and see people and then we begin Monday?"
"That's right," he said. He gave her a folder of information specific to her leukaemia, treatment, and her own booklet for dates and times of appointments, and phases. Ron helped her dress and they went to the Leaky Phial, packed up all their things and apparated home. They hadn't checked out because they would be returning. They went straight to The Burrow, where Molly and Arthur were, and they explained everything. Hermione was so strong, and didn't break down. Molly however did. Arthur looked like he had been deprived of sleep the entire time they had been in America. They spent the rest of the day hugging, talking about the next 2 months, and when George, Ginny, Harry, Percy, Bill and Fleur came home for dinner, they broke the news...

Poor Hermione! That's awful! But I'm so glad Ron is sticking by her side. They've got some rough patches coming up. But I'm sure with love and lots of prayer they can make it through... I hope.

Yeah, they are one of my favorite couples too (if you couldn't tell from my story )! And I know Ron would never leave her. I mean they helped defeat Voldie and Co together!

Haha I think he was just sitting there wondering why they couldn't cast the cancer out of her. And his eyes were probably darting around looking so confused

Chapter Five
A "GET WELL SOON" party


It was Saturday night, two days before Hermione was going to start treatment. They were at their house, laying on top of the bed cuddling when there was a knock at the door. Ron kissed Hermione on the head and went to answer it. Looking through the eye hole, he saw Ginny and Harry.
"Hey," he said, opening the door and letting them in. "What's going on?" he asked, knowing he had no plans for visitors.
"Mum's told us to come here and get you and Hermione. Better get ready," Ginny said. Leaning in to his ear she whispered "It's a surprise for Hermione."
"Oh, look, she's not really up for a-"
"Pfft," said Ginny, waving her arm at Ron and running up the stairs.
Harry smiled at Ron, "Molly's gone to a lot of trouble. We tried to tell her she probably just wanted a quiet weekend, but she wouldn't hear it. You better come," he said kindly.
"Yeah, I don't want to be on the receiving end of another Howler..." he replied, getting Harry a cold butterbeer from the fridge.

Upstairs, Ginny barged into the bedroom and jumped on the bed.
"Oh! Oh, hi Ginny," Hermione said, sitting up. "Is that Harry downstairs?" she asked.
"Yes, we came to get you both! Mum's invited you over for dinner and she really wants to see you. No, you have to come!" she demanded, not taking no for an answer.
Hermione, knowing how persuasive Molly could be, rolled her eyes with a smile and pushed herself off the bed. "What should I wear?" she said, doing to the wardrobe to search through her dresses. "It might be the last time in a few months that I can actually dress up," she said.
"Well then, let's make you perfect," said Ginny.

Harry and Ron, downstairs, were sitting at the breakfast bar drinking their butterbeer. Ron was just telling Harry how worried he was about the future, when he heard the stairs creek. They both came out of the kitchen and looked up as their two beautiful women were descending the stairs. Hermione was wearing her 'famous' red dress, an ivory cropped cardigan, and white ballet slippers. For comfort. Ron looked up at her like it was the first time he had ever seen her. She was just stunning, radiating beauty. He picked her up from the last step, and spun her around. The four of them had a nice laugh, like 'old-times', and they walked hand in hand to the burrow.
"I thought you said it was dinner? Where is everyone?" asked Hermione, approaching the pitch black house.
"Oh, she just wanted to have a candle lit dinner," she said.
Hermione reluctantly twisted the door handle, trying to think of what might actually be in the house. She opened the door and looked inside, but there was nobody there. "Where is-AHHHHHHH" she said, jumping, throwing her bag in the air and hiding in Ron's arms.
"SURPRISE!!!!!!!" Yelled a lot of people. Ginny and Harry burst out laughing, and Hermione looked up at everyone, her heart pounding in her chest. Oh no, she thought, starting to get very light headed. She breathed a sigh of relief, a small smile on her face, and began laughing. She saw so many people here! Molly and Arthur, George, Percy, Charlie, Bill, Fleur, Luna and Xenophilius, Seamus, Dean, Hannah, Neville, some of her favourite Hogwarts Professors and her parents. They were the first people she went to hug. She hadn't seen them since a week before she went to the doctors the first time. They had just left on a holiday to Australia - having purchased a property there. She had called them on the phone to let them know. They had began to tear, trying so hard not to ruin her party. The three of them plastered together in a hug, whilst the Weasley's ushered everyone outside where the party was! Ron held back, and the four of them had a long chat about what was going on.

When they finally went outside to where everyone was, Hermione saw a banner saying 'Get Well Soon' which had been charmed to flow in mid-air. Get well soon? Yes - she was sick. She told herself she would not break down here, but instead make the most out of her last weekend before treatment. She got a plate and tried one of everything, then walked around uncomfortably full saying hello to everyone. The Professors, McGonagall, Flitwick and Trelawney were there. She went and had a long chat to them, so happy they didn't bring up the treatment. They said "We wish you all the best when you decide to pick your studies back up," and, "There will always be a teaching position for you at Hogwarts for whatever subject you wish," and, "How was Australia?" It was nice to have a discussion with people who were so used to pushing things aside when they needed.
Neville and Hannah were deep in a kiss when Hermione went to the kitchen to take some medication. She laughed, interrupting them. "I'm sorry! I just had no idea you were together," she said, hugging them both. "I'm so happy for you, I know you are both perfect together," she said. They looked into each other's eyes and began kissing again. Hermione went back outside, and Molly gathered everyone around them.
"What's going on Molly?" she asked.
"Dear, we couldn't just let you end your night without the most important thing, could you?" she asked smiling, and holding onto Hermione's shoulders.
Hermione was confused... "What?" she asked, and a cake emerged from the crowd. It was bright red, and three circles high. "Oh Molly," Hermione said in awe.
"Now, I'd like to thank everybody for coming tonight. We all love this young woman, and wanted to spend the last weekend she has at home with a party. As you all know, our Hermione has leukaemia and will be away in America for quite some time getting treated for it. So, this night is just as much for all of you as it is for Hermione," she said, giving her a wink. Molly knew it was all for Hermione. "We just also wanted to tell you, dear, that you're part of our large family, and we all love you so much," she said beginning to cry. Then Hermione had to let go of her inner control and let the tears flow. As she looked around, she saw that not many people's eyes were dry. Ginny started talking next, holding Hermione's hands.
"Hermione, you're my sister. The sister I never had and I know you will come home healthy and free of cancer. We love you," she said, hugging her tightly.
Ron walked out from the crowd, where he was just talking with her parents. "Hermione, I love you. I've.... I've loved you since the moment you pushed yourself into my life and pushed me into trying to follow the rules," he said with a small laugh. Hermione was smiling. "You've been my rock, always helping with my homework at Hogwarts, and then afterwards you... you helped me grieve and accept Fred's death. You know, you saw how hard that was, for me and my family, but you got me through it somehow. I think without you I'd still be living here, overcome by grief. I just can't imagine living without you in my life, and I just know you will get through this treatment, because I need you in my world. The world needs you. Hermione," he said, getting onto his knee and pulling out a ruby ring, "will you do me the honor, the absolute honor, of being my wife?" he asked, dripping tears from his cheeks.
Hermione breathed in a sob and let him put the ring on her finger. It fit perfectly. "Yes Ron, yes of course," she said.
All around them people started to clap. She had forgotten there were people there. Ron had that effect, making it seem like they were the only ones there. She looked around, smiling and clasped in Ron's arms. They kissed deeply, and the party continued until midnight, until the early hours of Sunday morning. Even until breakfast Sunday there were still people there. Some had slept over, some had continued partying. George was on the couch with Angelina in his arms. Harry and Ginny were in her old bed. Molly and Arthur were in the kitchen preparing a big breakfast. Ron and Hermione were sleeping in his old, tiny bed.

At breakfast, they both stacked their plates high with food, and had many cups of tea and coffee. As people started waking up, or finishing their breakfast, the conversations from last night picked up. Ron and Hermione were sitting next to each other, across from her parents. She reached across the table for something, and caught the shimmer of red, and smiled looking at her ring. "Ron, it's perfect," she said, resting her head on his shoulder.
Within the next few hours, the house emptied. People gave her gifts and a tight hug, an "I'll see you soon," and home addresses. She tried helping Molly clean up but got yelled at. She couldn't have continued anyway. Hermione's parents were the last of the guests to leave, "We've paid the two months at the Leaky Phial for you both to stay. But we expect an invitation."
"Of course mum, you can come up whenever you want. They have phones there so I'll give you a call and give you the details," she said.
Pretty soon it was just Molly, Arthur, Hermione, Ron, Harry, Ginny and George. They had morning tea, then a light lunch.
"Well, I'm afraid we must go, but thank you so much Molly, and Arthur. It was a wonderful party," she said, hugging them both. She said a tearful goodbye to them all, and they walked home and packed their bags. They apparated back to the Leaky Phial and checked back in to their room. She had all her presents with her, but didn't want to open them. She just wanted to sleep, so she did, with Ron right beside her.
