Finding out-Chapter one
Hermione Granger's past hasn't all been fun and games. Sure she has amazing parents and great best friends, who've been a little defensive but still great. She is leaving today to visit the Weasleys and Harry for a while before she goes to Hogwarts. As she gathers and packs her things for school into her trunk to go the Weasley's, she is happy, sad and worried all at the same time to go back to Hogwarts this year. It will be her 7th year and she hasn't received her letter from Hogwarts yet, but she's not worried about that, she knows she'll get it soon. What worries the girl is what happens whenever she is seen alone in the corridors. Hermione is a victim of molestation, ever since 4th year, and it's changed her and no one knows about it. She has kept this secret for quite some time now, a little over two years to be exact. She is interrupted from her thoughts by her Mother.
"Hermione, darling come downstairs you have some visitors."
She ran down the flight of stairs and saw Harry, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley and Ginny standing there. The biggest smile came to her face and she ran to give Harry and Ginny hugs. She then wondered where Ron was. Harry must have read her expression because he answered her question right away.
"Ron's being a git and he didn't want to come. He said he was too busy and tired to come." Harry said dully.
"Oh well. Just let me get my stuff and I'll be right down alright?" she replied
As Hermione started going up the stairs she looked back and saw the red headed girl following her.
"I'll come with you 'Mione."
When the two girls arrived in Hermione's room she could sense that Ginny wanted to say something. "Alright Gin what do you want to say?" The look on her face was a little confused but still serious.
"Why don't you care that Ron's not here? I thought you would want him here the most. I mean-"
But Ginny stopped talking at that point and Hermione knew that the girl almost let something slip that she wasn't supposed to, and she automatically started to wonder what it was.
"What were you going to say?" asked Hermione a bit too eagerly.
"Nothing it's just he's been acting weird lately, and I think he might have said something about being mad."
That's when Hermione got mad.
"Why the hell is he mad at me, I didn't do anything! He's the one who got all worked up over nothing!"
She remembered the letter like it was yesterday.
Dear Hermione,
How is it going at home? It's okay here. It's a bit lonely without you. Harry isn't here yet but he'll be coming soon. Ginny's all excited about it. It bothers me how they're seeing each other, and makes me a tad nervous. But I can't wait to be able to see you again. I have so much to tell you.
Love, Ronald
When she read the letter the first time she was taken aback. She replied the letter a couple of days later.
Hello Ron,
It's good here; I'm not all that excited about going back. I'm sure you'll have loads of fun once Harry gets there. Why are you nervous? He's your best friend, you should be happy for them. As usual, my summer has been boring. But I really don't have much else to say. I guess I'll talk to you once I get there.
Love from, Hermione
And again by the look on the younger girl's face she knew there was something she wasn't being told. "What is it!" She was practically yelling at this point.
"Hermione I though you knew. I mean isn't it obvious?" Ginny said a bit nervously.
But before she could continue Hermione yelled: "Isn't what obvious! What's going on Ginny! Tell me!"
"Hermione, Ron likes you and when he read the letter and how you defended Harry he got the wrong message and got mad."
She stood there shocked at what Ginny just said. Everything makes sense now she thought to herself. As the girls finished packing it remained silent as Hermione was thinking about how she didn't notice and how obvious it really was. How long has he felt this way? Why didn't her ever tell me? The questions went on and on. Once they were finished and made their way downstairs they received some stares from the others, they must of hear the yelling but no one questioned it right now.
"All ready to go?" Mrs. Weasley asked. Hermione nodded and gave her parents hugs and said goodbye. Hermione wasn't all sure she wanted to go now though. She didn't want to have to confront Ron , knowing how he felt. And Ginny knew it. She gave her a sorry look. Seeing as Harry and Ginny could not apperate they used a port key. M. Weasley set it up and on his count of three she felt that familiar pull on her navel and they were off.
