A/N: this is an AU fic set somewhere around 2 years after the battle of Hogwarts. In this fic Remus and Tonks survived the battle because I love them!
Disclaimer: if I owned Harry Potter Remus and Tonks would have lived.
'I wish that girl would snap out of it' thought Molly Weasley as she sat in the kitchen and looked out the window and watched twenty-year-old Hermione Granger as she lay in the grass like she does every evening when she comes home from work.
It has been two years since the war ended, Hogwarts is almost fully rebuilt' and the ministry is getting back on its feet at a nice pace.
Right after the war ended Ron and Hermione started seriously dating, everyone expected them to be married within a year, but instead about six months later they had a horrible break-up and she has been distancing herself slowly ever since then.
They had tried everything to help get her through the break-up but nothing had worked.
Even Fleur had tried had tried, the only Weasley's that had not tried where Ron, obviously, and Charlie, who was back in Romania.
But now it was getting way out of hand; she barely ever talks anymore, even to correct someone when they are wrong, she barely eats enough to keep herself alive, and she didn't seem the slightest bit happy when Harry and Ginny told everyone that they were having a baby.
Finally one night after dinner was over and Hermione went to bed everyone sat back down at the table and decided to send an owl to Charlie and ask him if he could come.
Charlie had stayed at the Burrow for about five and a half months after the battle so that he could help at Hogwarts with the re-building.
While he was helping he and Hermione became very close, almost as close as her and Ron.
"What should we put in the letter?" asked Ginny.
"It's simple" said Bill taking charge, as always "we ask him to take a few days off work, tell him a little about why we want him to come, and ask him to do it as soon as possible."
"But how do we tell him just a little?"
"Oh for heaven's sake, give me the parchment." Said a flustered Ms. Weasley.
The note said:
'Dear Charlie,
We would like you to take a few days off work and come to the Burrow as soon as possible. Ever since Hermione and Ronald broke up Hermione has been distancing herself from us and it has gotten disturbingly bad recently. We know that you and Hermione developed a close relationship while you were here. I will say no more right now. Please come as soon as possible.
Love,
Your family.'
"Does that sound good to everyone?" Mr. Weasley asked after the note had been read out loud.
"yeah." They all agreed, and with that the note was sent.
End A/N: so I wasn't planning on having this up until next Saturday but I had time to type so I typed it up now. I probably won't have the next chapter up until next Saturday, but I don't know. So I hope you like it so far. The next chapter will be on the shorter side probably because it is the chapter in which Charlie gets to the Burrow and catches up with everybody. The third chapter will be Charlie talking to Hermione, but I have no idea when I will get it up because I'm not even close to half done writing it.
