Music to My Ears ~ Fremione

working to stress

(Most of this will be in hermiones POV)

After the war it was sad

Fred's leg was damaged pretty badly

Ron was still unconscious its been 3 weeks

Harry is finally relaxed

But I'm not

I have this guilt and I'm trying to lose it

Everyday I'm working with hogwarts to rebuild and remove debris sometimes I see the twins and ginny most of the time it's just bill and fleur I see though

I wake up get changed at 7 go downstairs and see Mrs weasley I have a small bowl of cereal, tea and a red apple then leave to go for hogwarts

I immediately put my hair in a ponytail and start moving things into a wheelbarrow starting in the great Hall

Its been about 3 hours and more people are here i take a 10 minute break and walk about next to the bridge where we snapped the wand

"Jeez granger how long have you been here?" Fred asked setting his crutches down and sitting with his legs off the side of the bridge

"I need to go ba-"

"Your really going to leave a cripple over a bridge?"

"No" I say sitting down with him

"Didn't answer my initial question"

"What time is it?"

"About 20 past 10"

"Then about 3 hours"

"Why?"

"I woke up?"

"Granger even I know you are working to your death now tell me why?" He said seriously

"I don't know I guess guilt" I say looking at my black boots

"Guilt for what?"

"Ron and your leg and everyone who's hurt because of war or from someone they lost because of it!" I say

"That's not your fault" He said

"But it feels like it I mean you guys jumped infront of a spell for me" I say

"Well that's true but it doesn't mean it's your fault we did it for you plus would you rather you be dead that two people injured?"

I look down

"Hermione you need to loosen up relax a bit" Fred said

"Yeah I know I was going to take the weekend off"

"No your taking the rest of the week off"

"What? No I'm not"

"Yes you are because George is going back to work and Um not allowed because of my mother and she's busy at the hospital so she's asking you" Fred said

"What?"

"Yup she's asking you to look after me"

"She realises you will rebel?"

"Yes which is why she's asking you because your persistant"

"And you want that?"

"No but if you get time away from here Yes I will put up with you" He said jokingly I push his arm "can we please stand up against my leg is killing me just dangling worthlessly"

"Isn't it already doing that?" I said sarcastically

"Ooh ill give you that one that was good" He said shocked I made a joke

"Thank you" I say standing up and giving him a hand he just looked at me like 'yeah you be able to lift me' "cmon I'm strong"

"Yeah I'm sure of that"

"Test me" I say

"Fine" He took my hand and got up easily "I stand corrected"

"Pun intended?"

"Always" He said

"So where do you need to go?"

"Honestly the doctors. I want to get this cast off as soon as possible" He said as we start slowly walking back

"That's happening today?"

"I wish three days then they are seeing if I need a new one"

"You think you will need another?"

"Provably but I'm hoping not"

"I hope you don't either"

"Really?"

"Yeah so I don't need to hear you go on and on about it ever again" I say

He chuckled "Well atleast you listen to everything I say"

"Eehhh not everything just the things that I find important"

"You find my leg important?"

"Well yet it was injured for me" I say

"Well maybe say more things when I'm talking about it then people don't think you've changed"

"They think I've changed?"

"Well I think we all have but they think you have the most because of Ron and well 'feelings' you have for him"

"Feeling? I don't feel anything for Ron"

"What?"

"Yes?"

"Not even a crush??"

"No"

"Well must just be Ron that likes you like that"

"Ron likes me?"

"Why do you think he jumped into it for you?"

"Well why did you?"

"So save my ass from ron saying I could prevent it"

"Oh" I felt sad that said that

"Are you coming home?"

"Umm I don't kn-"

"Cmon granger come home everyone's worried"

"Ok" I say hesitantly

We get home and no one's there
