Someones after Hermione's life. Ron and Harry, both aurors, were assigned to find the killer. Only thing was Hermione needed protection, and Malfoy had been assigned to guard her.
Ron didn't know what to do. The love of his life just wanted to be friends, and his enemy was to protect her from a killer. Ron needed a friend, and Rosie Wrenchy, a long time school friend,
was more then willing to help. Would she turn into more then just a shoulder to cry on?

Hey guys, so this is my first fanfic. I read one fanfic and was so inspired that the very same night I started this one. So...I mean Go reading right? Anyway this IS A BRANCH OFF of the Dramoine fanfic, 'Something Different.' My story starts on chapter seven of 'Something different', and you probably don't want to read seven chapters of Dramione to read my story, but seriously? It's a freaking good fanfic . The reason i wrote this is because I felt in the story Ron was getting a bit abused. Draco was quite cruel and Hermione wasn't the nicest. I felt so bad for him, I wanted to write him a happy ending. And so, Rosie Wrenchy was born. Rosie is sweet and bubbly, a lot more easy going then Hermione. She's still a bit more responsible then Ron, and has been best friends with Hermione, Ron, and Harry since second year. I hope this is interesting and you enjoy it. And if you do like it alot, and that review section looks a little lonely, go show it some lovin and tell me if you want me to keep writing. Really this is just a hobby for me so even if only one person begs me to keep going, I will. Lastly, 'Something different' isn't finished so I have to be limited once I catch up to the story, on when and how often I update. But I promise it's quite a few chapters before that will be a problem.

'Something new'

Rosie sat at her desk, going through mail and messages. It might have been a Saturday afternoon, but Rosie often liked to come in and finish up some things around work. It was weird being alone, but now with this new case, and her dear friend Hermiones life at risk, any little things she could do as Harry potters secretary she would commit to. Besides, it was nice the silence of- pop! Rosie looked up startled as Ron Weasly suddenly aperated infront of her and stalked into his office. 'Oh no'. Rosie thought.

Ron looked like he had been crying. She knew that today Harry and Ginny had thrown a small party to celebrate some news.( Rose had regrettably had to decline the offer because of stacked up work.) Rose also knew that Hermione and Malfoy had been invited. She thought it was a recipe for trouble, after everything. And the way Ron had slammed his office door, she had been right. After a moment, Rosie had to follow him in. She walked into his office and stood awkwardly taking in the scene. Ron was sulking in his seat, Two fingers against his temples, as if trying to keep in a waterfall of emotions. Rose knew how Ron had and still loved Hermione. The last year had been hard without his polar opposite other half, completing the famous trio. Rosie's heart went out to him deeply. Ron was so, well it was hard to exactly put the goofball redhead into words. But he didn't deserve a broken heart. No one did. She cocked her head and stared questioningly at Ron, hoping for some response to her presence maybe? He looked up, gave her a once-over, and forced the left side of his mouth to lift, pushing against his chubby freckled cheeks in a pathetic attempt at a smile. Rosie skipped over to Ron's desk and hoped on the edge. Maybe she could cheer him up some. She thought for a moment. " What happened?" Ron gulped back what Rosie assumed was tears and said." Ginny's pregnant."

he spoke dryly of the good news. Rose smiled to herself. Of course that was the announcement. She made a mental note to visit Ginny sometime and congratulate her in person.

" that's wonderful...but not what I meant."

Ron sighed. "she wants nothing to do with me."

"That's not true Ron. She loves you."

they were talking about Hermione. Obviously they had had an encounter that ended badly. "As a friend!" Ron piped up, mimicking Hermione's voice. 'Of course only as a friend, what did he expect?' Rosie bit her lip to keep the thought in. " Well, that's not so bad."

Ron face suddenly turned dark, and a little guilty. " Not even as a friend, well not anymore I'd recon. I might have..."

Rosie squinted her eyes at him. "...might have what?"

Ron looked away. Rosie pushed herself off the desk and put her hands on her hips. " Ron. What did you do?" Ron looked down, ashamed. "I was angry alright. I-I was hurt. She said she wanted to go back, to before we were together. I told her… I basically told her we might as well go back to before we were even friends. Then I left"

Rosie sighed, irritated. Though She did understand what Ron was going through. He had loved Hermione so much. He must have died inside every time he saw her. Rose was the only one that offered such sympathy, though she wasn't sure why. The others simply thought Ron childish. And maybe he was. So what. Being rational and proper all the time put a permanent stick up your ass. A person had to be free to feel and act how they damn well chose every once in a while right? "Well did you mean it?" She tried to keep the conversation going. "Of course not. Blimey rose." Ron started to look worried, the realization of what he had done sinking in. "Its fine then. Just apologize before the situation gets any worse."

Ron thought a moment. "Well... Maybe it's better this way. Everyone believe I'm done with her. Everything's said and done. Hermione want's me to leave her, so I will."

Rosie made a face, but considered it. Maybe it was better. " But your not really over her." Rosie pointed out in a knowing tone. And she was right. they both let an awkward silence develop, sinking into they're individual thoughts. Then Rosie spoke again, having just thought of something to cheer Ron up." Let's go for a drink. We can talk more at the pub."

Ron seemed to respond to this, his face softening a bit. Hanging out with a friend would be nice after the day Ron had had. After some thought he spoke.

"your buying I presume."

Rosie smacked Ron on the arm and laughed. "really?" she said.

"yes really. How's a man to feel better if he's got to buy his own drink?"

Rosie shook her head and scoffed "come on" and they left the office arm in arm. Ron realized he was about to enjoy a night out with a female, for the first time in a year.

Tada! I guess. I hope it wasn't boring or lame. I know its short but I plan on posting multiple chapters at a time. Hope you enjoyed!
