Chapter One

"I'm sorry, it's me not you, and um, I need to work on myself, and um yeah okay. Okay wait listen, I'm not good at breakups but, like, this just isn't working anymore." Ron said. It was a year after the war had ended and me and Ron had gotten together. It had seemed like a great idea at the time, dating my best friend. We still fought on many things, but making up always seemed to be the best part. That is until I wouldn't let him go as far as he wanted. Maybe if I would've let him, maybe if I dressed cuter-no. It's not my fault, right?

"Oh," The word fell from my lips as I felt tears well up in my eyes. "I understand." I really didn't. "It's okay." I wasn't okay. "So I guess we won't be seeing that movie later, huh?' I faked a laugh.

"Yeah, about that Hermione," he said reaching up to awkwardly scratch his neck, "I sort of already have plans."

"Wait, what do you mean you already have plans? That would mean that you- oh." The guilty look on his face confirmed my fears. "I don't know what to say then. So I guess goodbye will have to be enough. Goodbye." With that I shut to the door, forming a barrier between me and the man I loved.

The tears that had been forming finally fell, a sob escaping with them. Sinking to the ground, I let myself fall to pieces on the hard floor.

"I'm okay. It's okay. Everything's okay." I repeated to myself like a mantra drowning out the breaking of my heart. My hands were shaking, my sobs echoing the hallway. A physical pain rising in my chest feeling away like someone was ripping what was left of my heart out. I just couldn't understand why Ron, my best friend since I was eleven, was leaving me. I know that I didn't always look the best, but it shouldn't have mattered that much! And so what that I would rather be spending the night at home reading by the fire than out at a club trying to make sure that no put anything in my drink.

A knock on the door startled me out of my thoughts. "Hey, sorry to bother you but I locked myself out of my apartment across the hall, and I wondering if you would you let me use your phone to let me call someone with a spare?" A voice called through my door.

Standing, I tried to compose myself before opening the door. Flaming red hair was the first thing I saw. "Surprise!" Ginny yelled. "Oh my god, Mione what happened?" Her face a mask of concern. I opened my mouth to speak but just choked on a sob. Ginny wrapped me in a hug saying that it would be okay as I tried to explain.

"R-Ron he came over a-and he b-broke up with me and I," I said in between sobs. I buried my head in her shoulder and cried even harder.

Ginny lead me over to the couch then went to make us some tea as my sobs died down. "Are you okay Mione?" She asked, handing me the cup. I took a few deep breaths. "I don't know Gin. I always thought that we would be together forever, you know? But now? Merlin I feel like a wreck! Ron's always been good at making me cry," I mumbled the last part to myself.

"I'm sorry Mione. My brothers a total git. Ya know, it's been a while since I got to use my bat boogey hex on him." She said with a mischievous grin.
