Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

"No, it's not the spells, it's the telling them what happened, it's the telling them that we're together, it's
the awkward questions I know they'll ask." Hermione said as tears started to form in her eyes, "and
most of all, it's the fact that I'm a bit afraid that they won't be there, or that I'll find them but they'll be
mad at me for what I did."
"Mione," said Ron as he pulled her into a tight embrace, "They won't be mad at you, they'll understand
that you were just trying to protect them. As for them not being there, I have no doubt that they'll be
there, Voldemort never reached Australia, there is no reason that they won't be where you left them."
"What if they don't want to come back?" Hermione cried into Ron's shoulder, "what happens if they
like their life there?"
"Than they like their life there and you go to visit them every once in a while," Ron said with a smile.
"Hermione, relax, everything will be ok, You-Know…Voldemort is gone and he's never coming back."
"I know," said Hermione as she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, "but what about the death
eaters that are still out there? I overheard Kingsley say that there were almost twenty that weren't
caught during the battle. It's completely possible that they will come here looking for Harry, or you, or
me, or even the rest of your family."
Ron laughed again, "Mione, mum said that there were protective spells around the house, and if the
death eaters break through those than you have a house full of wizards to protect you. And you're not
all that bad at dueling yourself."
Hermione sniffed, "thank you Ron," she said, "I needed that."
"I know," said Ron, "it helped me too; I think I needed to reassure you as much as you needed to be
reassured." He smiled down at her, "It's nice to know you need me for something."
"That's not all I need you for," said Hermione as she pulled Ron's face to hers and drew him into a deep
kiss.
Ron kissed back and a few seconds later they heard Mrs. Weasley call from downstairs "lunch is
ready."
The two of them broke apart, "We'll continue this later right?" asked Ron as he got up.
"Of course we will," said Hermione as she too got up. She took Ron's hand and the too of them started
downstairs.
