Taking flight

"Oh my God!" Hermione screamed dropping a bag of groceries on the floor.

Ron and some woman Hermione had never seen before jumped apart on the couch and looked at her like kids caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

"How could you Ronald!" she screamed, her voice cracking.

"Mione I-"

"Don't call me that!" she looked over at the brunette woman on the couch. "Get out of here! Leave!" And the woman bolted.

"Let me explain, I-"

"Who was that?"

"What?"

"Who was that Ron?"

"Angelina starzet."

"Why were you kissing her?"

"You want to know why?"

"I asked didn't I?"

"Because you're boring!"

"I-"

"You get up, go to work all day, come home at five and run errands or make dinner and then go to bed. You are on the same schedule twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred sixty-five days a year." Ron finished, face bright red.

"Then why did you stay with me? Why are we getting married in a few months, and why did you think it was okay to cheat?" she asked crying.

"I'm honestly not sure why I stayed with you, because at one point we were happy and were excited about spending our lives together, and what else was I supposed to do? Wait for you to realize you aren't very fun and to do something about it?"

"Then I'm glad you chose now to cheat and not while we were married, divorce papers take a while to fill out." She finished, taking off her ring and throwing it at him. "Get out!"

"What are you talking about? I bought this apartment with my Cannon's salary, you have an hour to pack up and find somewhere else to stay." Ron smirked, getting up and leaving the apartment.

"Fine." Hermione whispered.

She walked into their bedroom and threw open the closet. She got right to work, throwing all her clothes into a small suit case, charmed to hold way more than it should. Then she worked her way from the bedroom to the rest of the house gathering her things. The computer, pictures, and little thing she had acquired throughout their years together. Then she got an idea.

She walked around the house shrinking furniture she bought for the apartment when they first moved in. soon the only furniture in the house was his bedside table, the bed, some appliances, including a pretty much empty fridge, and the couch she picked out to go with the theme. There was no way she was taking that.

She nodded at her job and picked up her suitcase and the bag of groceries she had dropped and apparated out onto the empty street.

"Shit." She heard a crack of thunder and it started pouring. Soon she was soaked to the bone and still wandering. She felt as though someone, or something, was watching her. Eventually the feeling was so great she had to turn around.

A giant black wolf looked back at her from his spot on a hill across the street. She turned to walk forward and bumped into a hard object. She fell back and looked up. Starring down at her was a man she recognized from ministry wanted posters.

"Well, Well, Well, what do we have here?" The man asked hoisting her up by her collar.

"Let me down!" Hermione screamed, struggling to release herself from his grip.

"Stop your struggling and give me your wand!"

"No!" she yelled, kicking him in a sensitive area.

"Stupid Bitch!" the man winced, but only tightened his grip on her neck.

"Help!" Hermione tried to scream but it barely came out.

All of the sudden a black streak hit the man and he fell to the ground, dropping Hermione, who gasped, trying to take in as much air as she could.

"What the hell?" the man yelled, whipping around trying to see what attacked him.

Hermione screamed as the wolf leapt at the man again, and knocked him to the ground.

"Stay back!" the man yelled at the creature and took out his wand.

Hermione scrambled backwards and tripped over her back.

Hearing her fall the man whipped around, turning his back on the wolf, and grabbed Hermione's arm. He pushed her towards the animal, which was running towards them.

As Hermione turned away, waiting for impact, the wolf jumped over her and onto the villain. The two struggled until the man reached for his wand and blasted the wolf backwards. In the light Hermione could see the man was bleeding pretty badly and the wolf was on its side breathing heavily.

As the man raised his wand to kill the beast, Hermione jumped on him and redirected his focus onto her. While he tried to shake her off the wolf started to get up slowly.

"You may be beautiful sweetie but you're damn stupid to do that!" he said raising his wand on her. "Avada-!"

The wolf brought him down from behind, biting his shoulder.

Crying out in pain, the man threw the wolf off him and grabbed his shoulder. When the wolf attacked again, he was ready.

Yelling something barely auditable over the rain he man pointed his wand at the black animal, she saw the wolf get cut with an invisible knife and howl in pain.

"No!" she screamed and the man turned to her.

"You've caused me a lot of trouble and I'm not leaving empty hand-" he said as he stalked towards her, but apparated out of the way when he saw the reflection of the wolf about to jump on him in the bar window.

"Ahhh!" Hermione screamed as the weight and momentum of the wolf hit her head on. She was knocked down and knocked unconscious.
