Hermione let the music take over her body, letting her movements follow the flow of the music. Adding a twist here, arms stretching up high as her feet spun around the room.

She let the memories of the past month flow out and use them as a way to express her dance. Feeling a the tears start to fall as a memory of her and Ron came to her mind, she felt the room adjust the tempo and she angrily stood on point and spun on the
spot as if to remove the memories and feelings she once had for him. Finishing off her dance with her arms to the side, one foot pointed to the back the other on a slight angle as the music faded into the background and the only sound could be heard
was Hermione's heavy breathing. Bringing her feet back together she summoned her towel and water bottle wandlessly then walked to her dance bag.

She felt the cool of the mirror on her back, letting out a sigh of content as she took another sip and dried the remaining sweat off her body, letting her mind wander over the past month since she'd returned to Hogwarts.

It had been a whole month almost two since the battle of Hogwarts had ended, the light had won, but many lives were lost on both sides. Harry had defeated the Dark Lord and was happily in love with his girlfriend Ginny, and the two were hoping on moving
in together after Ginny had finished school and get married in the future. Hermione sighed as she thought of her and Ron, especially that kiss they'd shared in the Chamber of Secrets. Ron had told her in was a spur of the moment and that he wasn't
thinking when he'd kissed her then, he only thought of her as a sister and a friend. He'd broken her heart then, then broken it a second time when she saw him kissing Lavender when they had entered the Great Hall. Apparently the two had been secretly
dating after Ron had been selected as Gryffindor Keeper.

Hermione had run off out of the Hall after that and no one could find her after that. She' found herself running towards the one place she felt safe, The library or what was left of it, parts had either been blown apart, books on the floor, pages torn
and the body of Madam Pince with her wand still in her hand, eyes open in shock. She'd died protecting students that hadn't been able to escape the school and had hidden there before the death eaters attacked. Hermione walked over to her, closing
her eyes, placing a piece of cloth over the Liberian's face, then newly formed tears away she hid herself in a hidden part of the library she'd found 3 years ago that hadn't been used since the last student had found it. She'd tidied it up back then
and had made it her own, not telling Harry Ron or even Ginny about it, you could say it was her own Room of Requirement that she used to get away from it all.

She'd cried in anguish at Ron, for her stupidity at not telling him she loved him, for letting their friendship get in the way, at Lavender for getting in the way, for the both of them for hiding their relationship, at Ron again for being a git at hiding
his relationship, at herself again for not seeing how Ron would be gone for hours during the weeks, months, years, for not seeing the signs of both their unusual behaviour when they were in the same room. Hermione curled up in a fetal position
as she felt herself calm down, brushing away the tears she knew there was one thing that always cheered her up and that was dancing, she'd loved to dance and had continued to do so. So that's what Hermione did, after heading back to the Great Hall
and making an excuse about looking for other students or teachers both injured or dead, which was kind of the truth as she'd found Madam Pince in the library Hermione apparated later that week to the dance studio she continued to use when she came
home during Hogwarts holidays. She went there almost every day moving and dancing to the sound of the music, sometimes helping the teachers with little tots classes when she wasn't visiting the Burrow only when she was sure Ron and Lavender weren't
around.

Hermione came back feeling newly formed tears about to fall, shaking her head, she began to remove her ballet point shoes stretching her feet as she brought feeling back to her tired feet again. Silently requesting a shower from the Room, Hermione stood
and walked to where a shower had appeared out of no where along with her favourite body wash, shampoo and conditioner Hermione washed away the tension as she scrubbed herself with the peach scented body wash then washing her hair with the frangipani
scented shampoo and conditioner Hermione let the water wash over her for a few minutes more before stepping out and drying herself and hair with her wand Hermione then styled her hair into curly waves and letting it hang out not bothering to tie it
up. She then put her Hogwarts uniform on, cloak over along with the Head girl badge pinned in place she thanked the Room of Requirement, picked up her dance bag and left the room to place it in the head dormitory then dash off to meet Ginny for dinner
in the great hall. Closing the door behind her Hermione smiled as she walked away feeling better then she had when she had entered the Room two hours ago.

"So Hermione where've you been today, I didn't see you in the library or near the Lake when I was there?" asked Harry after swallowing his glass of pumpkin juice.

"Oh I was there, but you must have missed me, or maybe I was there and you didn't look hard enough." Smiled Hermione taking a bite of her meal

"Yeah I guess,, shrugged Harry. It's just that you seem to not be around a lot as much as before."

"Well I am head girl Harry, you know it's not that easy finding time to myself, especially with Malfoy being head boy and leaving me to do most of the work." Replied Hermione.

While it was true that she did most of the head duties Malfoy did assist with some of the work after hearing Hermione go on one of her many speeches about sharing the duties,being responsible or calling him a lazy cockroach that couldn't even do one simple
thing without informing his father. That last part usually pissed off Malfoy and they'd end up insulting each other, but soon grow tired and finish off their head duties where Malfoy would head to the Slytherin dorm to rant to Blaise about the 'prissy
know it all' having a go at him again.

"You can always let me at him Hermione, I'm always here when you need me," smiled Harry giving her a cheeky grin knowing that Hermione could take care of herself, she wasn't call the Brightest Witch of the age for nothing.

"Thanks Harry," Hermione hugged him " but you know I can take care of myself." Harry laughed at that knowing she'd tell him what he already knew, he was just being the protective bother and looking out for her. And speaking of 'looking
out for Hermione, Harry looked up at that moment to see Ron and Lavender walk through the doors looking like they'd had another one of their make out sessions again. Harry's face immediately turned from laughing to a scowl that would have scared Voldemort
back to his grave and even further than 6 ft under.

Hermione looked behind her to see why Harry was scowling then she turned back, gave him a reassuring smile and touched his shoulder " It's alright Harry, I'm over it and him, I told you then and I'll tell you now, It was a moment and then it was
gone Ron was just so happy that he couldn't help but let it out by kissing me. It meant nothing, It's true that I loved him but he sees me as a friend and a sister and I may have been upset then but not anymore and you'll need to forgive him even
if you think he's the worst for hurting me."

Hermione looked him in the eye seeing the anger fade but still linger slightly as Harry smiled at her knowing that it would take time for Harry to forgive Ron, but for now she was glad he didn't cause a scene and turned back to her food ignoring Ron and
Lavender make their way over.

"Harry." Said Ron

"Ron." Replied Harry giving him the same tone

R - "How are ya"?

H – "Alright"

Ron stood there aware that everyone was wondering "Is the Golden Trio going to break up? Are they gonna cause a scene? How's Hermione feeling about this? Is Harry Potter going to defend Hermione?

Harry looked up at Ron, giving him a little smile, not up to his eyes, but Ron could see that he would have a lot of forgiving to do.

"Sit down Ron foods getting cold, and you don't wanna miss out before dessert comes." Harry then said gesturing for Ron and Lavender to take a seat.

There were a great sigh of relief as the tension in the Hall was lifted, though at the Slytherin table there could be groans of disbelief as they had hoped there would be a fight between The Boy that Couldn't take a hint and die and his side kick King
Weasel.

Ron and Lavender sat down, digging into the food, though Ron scoffed his down like there was no tomorrow. Hermione smiled then gave him a look reprimanding him for eating like a pig, then laughing at his face as he'd managed to leave bits of food round
his mouth, she then smothered her laughter as Lavender grabbed him a napkin and attempted to remove some of the food while Ron tried and failed to stop her mothering

Harry looked at Hermione laughing at the sight before her knowing she had done that before and was hiding her tears by laughing. Although he was angry at Ron for hurting her he could see that she was trying in her own way to forget him. Deciding now to
add fuel to the fire he pointed out to Lavender an area where he could some food still there. There wasn't any food there but it got the reaction he wanted as he laughed at Lavender as she tried to wipe away the offending piece of food that Harry
had pointed out.

Hermione lay down on her bed trying to smother her laughter as she remembered what happened in the Great Hall. She could see from the corner of her eye that Harry was going to try forgive Ron, but he wasn't going to make it easy and he was going to give
Ron hell for hurting her. Smiling to herself Hermione got into bed, glad that Harry was giving forgiveness a try. Her final thoughts before she turned off the bedside light and laid her head on the pillow were ' Can I ever forgive Ron for hurting
me, will I be able to find someone who will heal my heart.'

She didn't bother thinking about the answer as sleep took over and Hermione was fast asleep, leaving the problems in the past and looking forward to what fate had in store for her tomorrow.

Hey, all. So this is my second attempt at writing fanfic. I'm not sure about keeping it T rated or going for M, I'll see how the story goes.

I'll still continue with my other story, sorry for those who are waiting for what happens next, I'll be continuing with it ASAP.

Let me know what you think of this, give me you opinion and sorry if you're a fan of Hermione and Ron being together.

Till next time
