Harry woke up in the hospital wing a week later with no physical injuries to speak of, that Madam Pomfrey hadn't already taken care of.
To his utter disappointment and alarm the only one by his bed side was Ron.
"Where's Hermione?" he asked right away panic evident in his voice. He started to get up, but Ron pushed him back down with a firm hand.
"She's fine," Ron replied. "She did dislocate her shoulder in the battle, but Madam Pomfrey had her fixed right back up in about a half an hour."
"But where is she?" Harry asked again.
"Ummm…" Ron staled looking everywhere, but Harry's face. "Well, I think she's in the library…"
Harry was already getting up when Ron finished, throwing on his clothes haphazardly.
Ron hesitated then said, "She doesn't want to talk to you, Harry."
Harry stopped halfway to the door and turned back around his mouth formed a frown.
"Oh, yeah." He said sagging against a nearby bed. "Do you think she'll ever be able to forgive me, Ron?
Ron shrugged his eyes on his best friend. "You hurt her, Harry. You have to earn her trust all over again."
Harry buried his face in his hands. "Could you… could you just leave me alone for a little while, Ron?"
Ron nodded, even though he knew his friend couldn't see him and walked quietly out of the room.
**@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@**
"Alright, I called you all here because you all know and love Harry and Hermione and want to help them have the life they both want and deserve more than anyone." Ron said looking around the room at the people he'd called to the room of requirement.
"What do you propose we do?" asked Lavender, looking up at her boyfriend.
Ron smiled. "I think we should lock them together in the tower."
Seamus, Dean, Fred and George all grinned.
"What's the tower?" asked Parvati from the back of the room. "Surely you don't mean the astronomy tower, Hermione might throw Harry off."
The inhabitants of the room chuckled.
"You'll see," said Ron trying not to grin evilly.
**@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@**
"Hey, Harry," said Ron walking into the common room a couple days later, "McGonagall asked me to get some things for the next lesson. You wouldn't mind helping me would you."
"No," Harry replied from a comfy chair by the fireplace. "It's not like I'm getting anything done anyhow." He sighed and got up from his seat, shutting his potions book and setting it down at a near by table.
Ron led him up to the seventh floor down a hallway Harry had never been down before and it looked like in Harry's opinion that no one else had either, at least not in quite some time.
The passed quite a few doors until Ron reached one that in Harry's opinion looked the same as all the rest. He didn't know how Ron could distinguish this one from the others. Ron opened the door and Harry stepped inside.
"Bang!" The door shut and locked behind him and he cursed thinking it was just an enchanted door or something.
"Ron can you hear me?" He yelled yanking at the door knob and muttering every unlocking spell he knew under his breath. When none of them worked he cursed again.
"Go up the stairs, Harry and don't even try to break through the door. We, meaning almost everyone in Gryffindor house, Lupin, McGonagall, and Professor Dumbledore all put all the locking spells we knew on it and now I'm going to put a silencing spell on it so yelling won't do you any good either."
"Damn it, Ron! Let me out of here!" Harry yelled pounding on the door, but he received no answer. Finally he sighed and headed up the stairs not knowing what awaited him at the top.
A/N: Seriously, the time it takes me to update depends on the number of reviews so please please please review!
