Hi, guys. First off, I'd like to apologize for anyone who was reading my story 'Coming Back'. I made it seem that the reason I deleted the story was because I didn't get enough reviews. I'm not going to lie- that was partially why. But I just didn't see the story going anywhere, and quite frankly, I didn't enjoy writing it. I've never really liked writing future fics. I'm hoping you all can forgive me for that.

Secondly, I do hope for a better turn out with this story. I think I'll enjoy writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it as well. Review and let me know how I do! x.


Ron's POV

I was laying in my attic bedroom reading about the Chudley Cannon's most recent loss when I heard the clatter of the front screen door. I ignored it and kept reading until I heard my mother calling me to come downstairs. I sighed and set the paper on my bed.

"What Mum?" I called as I made my way down the stairs. With no response, I kept heading towards the door and saw Hermione in the front corridor smiling at me.

"Hermione!" I yelled and raced to gave her a hug. She laughed as her arms wrapped around my neck.

"Hi Ron!" She giggled as I swung her around. "Is Harry here yet?"

"No, not yet. I believe he's going to be at Grimmauld Place for a couple more weeks before he gets here." I answered and muttered, "Ginny's gone to stay with him as well."

"Oh, Ron. She's seventeen now, you can't control her. And wouldn't you rather her be with Harry than someone like Dean or Seamus?"

"I suppose." I sighed, defeated. "So, would you like me to take your bags up to the room?"

"Yes, please. Where am I staying?"

"Well, you can sleep in Ginny's room until she gets back, or you can stay in my room. When Ginny gets back, you'll be stuck in my room since she and Harry can't be a room apart." I grumbled and grabbed her bags from the ground. After the war, Ginny and Harry had gotten together. Hermione and I had tried dating, but we both had agreed that we had too much going on in our lives to be together right now.

"I'll just stay in your room then, since I'll have to move my things anyway." She said eagerly. I smiled and we started walking towards my room. I set her bags down on the spare bed then hopped across the room and lied down on mine.

"So how's auror training going?" She asked casually as she began to unzip the suitcases.

"Pretty good. It's rough, though. Actually, Harry and I are all done with training. They say they're going to be sending us on mission in a few weeks. It's pretty cool." I told her with a grin.

"Ron! That's great! Congratulations!" Hermione replied excitedly and beamed at me.

"Yeah, I suppose. So how's things at the ministry?"

"They're well. We're actually about to pass a new law about the house elves. I'm quite proud of it."

"That's good, Hermione. Not surprising, but good." I chuckled. She looked at me quizzically.

"What do you mean 'Not surprising'?"

"Well, we all knew you'd be doing something extraordinary and successful!" I exclaimed. We both laughed for a moment and a blanket of silence fell over us.

"I've missed you." I told her honestly. Life really was hard without her. Just because it hadn't worked didn't mean that my feelings for her had just disappeared. In all honesty, I hadn't even looked at another girl since Hermione and I broke up.

"I've missed you too." She said with a sad smile. "Life just isn't the same without my best friend around..."

Yeah... Best friend... Great.


I apologize that this is so short, the next one will be longer. Revieww? Let me know if I should continue!(:
