Hermione Granger put her head on her table and let the tears fall, in what seemed to be the worst day of her life. She had just caught her boyfriend of three years Ron Weasley cheating on her with Lavender Brown.
She usually worked until eight instead of five like other ministry workers, being very busy with her SPEW project. But today she felt like a change of scenery so she decided to go to the Seeker's pub a famous pub for quidditch players.
Ron and Harry frequented that pub as Harry's fiancé and Ron' sister Ginny was a professional quidditch player and often went there with her team.
When she opened the door she did not expect to see Ron there snogging with Lavender.
"Ron!" she shouted, willing herself to stay strong and not seem weak in front of her boyfriend.
He looked guiltily around and Lavender ran enough giggling.
She spent the next few minutes screaming at him, her sentences barely coherent from her rage.
Ron, turning into a very Dursley shade of red cut her off and shouted "What the bloody hell are you blaming me for? You are boring Hermione, frikkin boring! You work all the time, because you're a precious hero for the elves well I'm sick of it! Sick of you always either in your work clothes or in your pajamas. And yes I'm sorry your parents died before you could give their memory back, but get over yourself! It's been three years and Voldemort's gone, we are in our prime but all Hermione wants to do is work and be boring, talking about house elves and getting a family and other bullshit!"
And so it continued, more and more on how Hermione just wasn't good enough for the amazing Ron. When he apparated out of the pub Hermione was shaking, but still holding her tears.
Harry and Ginny apparated two minutes later their faces both sympathetic.
"Hermione are you alright?" asked Ginny while Harry sat her down a table.
"Yeah, I'm fine" said Hermione with a shaky laugh. "I'll be fine once I get my hands on that worthless dung, that that…" and she couldn't handle it anymore and started cursing Ron with foul words she never used before. She ended it with saying how she would never talk to Ron again and she looked up for support. But instead she saw Harry looking disapproving and Ginny angry.
"Woah, Hermione" said Ginny, "I know Ron did something wrong to you but you are going over the limit with that, because I'm really sure you did wrong stuff as well."
"What?!" said Hermione, feeling the blood drain from her face.
"I know my brother pretty well, and he must have been realy pushed by you to do something this wrong." Said Ginny now getting red in the face.
Speechless, Hermione looked to Harry for support but he grimaced and said, "Sorry Mione but ginny's got a point I'm sure you weren't so innocent in all this either. And about not speaking to him forever, well try to remember how we fought against Voldemort, I can't believe you're now cutting him off from your life because of this.:
"Oh, shut up Harry" screeched Hermione, feeling sure she looked demented now. "You're only saying this because of that bitch next to you."
"Who are you calling a bitch?" screamed Ginny, whipping out her wand.
Harry grabbed Ginny's arm and looked at Hermione, "I'm very disappointed in you Hermione. I expected better from you. I'm going to let you have some space for a few days until you can think clearly like an adult." Said Harry and he apparated out with Ginny.
And so, Hermione finally let the tears fall down.
