Spoilers: Uh...none, really.

Disclaimer: I'm not clever enough to come up with something as elaborate as the Harry Potter universe. Besides, if I had, Harry would have been a chick. LOL! All this belongs to J.K. Rowling.

Summery: Sometimes it just becomes too much.

Author's Notes: Ron and Hermione are my couple. I love them. I imagined that all those weeks/months in the Order HQ would have a significant impact on their relationship. C'mon, stuck in an old house with a cute redhead? How could you NOT fall for him?! I'm also under the impression that Molly Weasley has SOME idea that Ron likes Hermione and vice versa. She's a mom! Moms know these things.


"If your mum found out about this, what would she do?" Hermione looked at Ron in the dark.

"I recon we'd get a great lecture," he said, grinning. "Maybe be cursed to stay on opposite sides of the house."

Hermione smiled a little. Then it disappeared and she hugged him close. "Ron?"

"Yeah?"

"I...I don't..." her voice trailed off and she started to cry.

Ron didn't even bother to ask why, he just let her cry. It was the stress and the fear and the constant uncertainty for their lives taking their toll. It had finally broken on Hermione.
