"I get it. You choose him". Without another word, Ron stomped out of the tent, despite the young woman's desperate cries for him to come back. As much as he wanted to stay, he knew he couldn't. The poor boy would get his heart broken. Then again, he'd soon find out it'd break even worse if he went down this road. Stalking off so deep into the woods that Hermione could barely keep up, he had an insane urge to run back to her, take her in his arms and hold her before shaking his head and revolving on the spot, drifting into the immense, suffocating darkness.
The whole while he was gone, the only thing he thought about was the last thing he saw that night: Hermione's first tear out of millions that would streak her broken face.
