Hey Potterheads! I've recently been to Leavesdon Studios and wow it was amazing. I got to sit in Ron's flying car, and have a picture with Dobby, and stand outside the opening to the Chamber of Secrets, you know the "Harry talks in his sleep have you noticed?" scene. It was amazing. I really recommend it. Anyway, I thought about this idea on the way back on the train, and so I've sat and planned some ideas and here you go. I hope you enjoy it and please drop me a review. Depending on how well the response is to this story, I will continue :) GP x Disclaimer: all rights to J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros.

Chapter 1
"I get it, you choose him".
I stopped in my tracks, my breath caught as I stared into Ron's eyes. How on earth could he possibly think that? My heart beat erratically as his expression showed nothing but hurt. Why was he hurt? Nothing makes sense!
"No- what? Of cours-"
"Well, I suppose its obvious now- you've always been close- why didn't I see it?",he took a step further towards the tent entrance, and my heart dropped at the thought of him walking out and never coming back. I had to make him see sense!
"No! Ron you've got it all wrong, Harry and I, we're best friends- take off the locket okay?" I reached forward and touched his neck, gliding my hands down as I tried to feel for the chain. I felt it- cold and dead over his heart. Ron pushed my hands away, but I tugged on the chain, determined to get this thing away from him, this object that was poisoning him, taking away the Ron that I knew and loved.
"Ronald! Take off the locket! Now!" I half shouted, fear and panic starting to rise into my voice. My eyes flicked back to Harry, to register how he was taking this, but he was facing towards the kitchen, his expression blank and cold, not surprised that he was losing yet another person.
"Get off-" he struggled with me for a few seconds, then reached around his neck and pulled off the Horcrux, tossing it across the floor. It landed with a clang a metre from Harry. My arms were still reached out towards him and he took a deep breath, snarling almost. I knew what he was going to say before he even said it.
"So- are you coming or staying?"
And now it was all on me. Hermione Granger, "Brightest Witch of her Age",or so they call me, and I had possibly the hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life. Books wouldn't help me now. "Hogwarts a History", would never have prepared me for this. I could feel my heart being split, a fraction of it leaning towards Harry, when I think of how we promised him that we would all do this together, how this needed to be done and the Dark Lord needed to be stopped. He couldn't do it without us!
But then my eyes flicked to Ron and I knew my answer before I'd even properly thought it out. I knew that I loved him, that I needed him, and that if he asked me to go anywhere with him, I would, because he's my Ron, and I wouldn't have things any other way.
Why did I have to make this choice now. Ron took one more step towards the tent and every cell in my body screamed. I took a step towards him, and his eyes widened, shocked and elated, that I had chosen him. How could he not know that it would never be any other way?
"Harry, I-"
"Go Hermione, this isn't your battle, go, be safe. I don't blame you"
And I believed him. I really did. He didn't blame me, or hate me for wanting to leave. But I made a promise, he is my best friend and I'm going to abandon him, what am I thinking? But Ron opened the flap to the tent and stepped outside and it was like a magnet, pulling me. I had to do this, I had to go with him because what would my life be like if I didn't? Would everything even be worth it? What would I even be fighting for? I ran over and grabbed my beaded bag and my coat, and tears streaming down my face, I lifted my hand to Harry's shoulder, and whispered,
"Sorry"
