Prologue –

Hermione's P.O.V. –

'How did we get to this point?' I asked myself, as I looked around at all the ruble and dead bodies lying around what use to be our school. 'How can 6 wonderful but trying years turn into destruction and despair?' I picked myself up off the ground, and immediately went to search for Harry, Ginny, and the rest of our friends to see if they survived all the destruction.

"Hermione, we're over here," Ginny yelled. She was standing where the opening gates once stood.

I limped over to her and the rest of them as fast as I could go. Once I got there I group hugged all of them and just sobbed.

"I'm so glad you guys are still alive and all right"

"There, there Hermione. Everything is over and he'll never harm us again" Harry soothed over and over again.

We stayed like that for a while before we decided we needed to see if everyone else was ok and if there was anything we could do. Once we got to the great hall we saw classmates, teachers, and some death eaters helping the injured.

"Oh thank heavens you children are all right. Why don't you help the rest of us? Hermione Ron is upstairs looking for you to make sure you're okay dear," Molly said with a sad smile.

I nodded my head and I went as fast as I could to search for my boyfriend immediately. It took me ten minutes before I found him walking down the hallway yelling out my name.

"Babe, I'm okay" I smiled. With that he turned around and ran towards me.

"Blimey baby, I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried about you," he said as he hugged me and wouldn't let go.

I leaned in and just soaked in his warmth and embrace for as long as I could. I wanted to enjoy this moment as long as I could. Little did I know that it wouldn't last very long?

~One Month Later~

"Babe I'm here" I yelled out as I walked into Ron's house in Hogsmeade. "Babe, you home." I took of my coat and began going room to room to see if I could find him to make sure he was ready for our date.

I heard a moan coming from the bedroom and I instantly ran there thinking he had hurt himself. I opened the door, and my mouth dropped with what I saw. "How could you Ronald Weasley?" I yelled as I ran down the stairs.

"Mione it isn't what it looks like" Ron pleaded as he ran after me.

"Oh so you weren't being intimate with Cho in your bed? If that wasn't what it was then please tell me I'm wrong since you were both naked" I yelled with tears rolling down my face.

He just continued to stand there with his mouth open trying to figure out what to say next. "That's what I thought. Goodbye Ron, we're over." With that I grabbed my coat and stormed out of his place and apparated to Ginny and Harry's.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" Ginny asked as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Ron…cheated…naked…in…bed…with…Cho," I sobbed into her shoulder.

"He did WHAT?" both Harry and Ginny yelled at the same time. I just nodded my head and I put my wand to my head to take that memory out. Harry quickly got a bowl with water so they could watch what I had seen.

"I'm going to kill him. I don't care if he is my brother; he has hurt my best friend. Harry give me the knife" Ginny ragged aloud.

"Sweetheart calm down. Remember what the healer said about the baby" Harry said trying to calm his upset wife.

I quickly calmed myself, and slowly stopped the tears from all the hurt. "Gin you guys are having a baby?" I gave them a small smile of happiness so they would know how happy I was for them.

She nodded her head in excitement. "Yep we just found out. We were going to tell you tomorrow but now is good time as any. Especially since you needed the cheering up from my brother being a jerk and a moron. We would like you to be our child's godmother" She smiled.

"Oh Gin & Harry what an honor. Of course I will be your child's godmother. Do you mind if I stay here tonight. I don't want to be anywhere near Ron right now?" I asked with a sad smile.

"Of course. You know you are always welcome over here. I will make sure Ron doesn't come near here." Harry reassured me.

"Thanks guys I appreciate it." I said as I got off the couch.

"Follow me to the spare bedroom so I can get you stuff you need for bed. I'm sure you want to go to bed right away" Gin said lovingly. I nodded my head yes and followed her up the stairs. She gave me the stuff for bed, gave me a big hug and then left to give me my space for the night.

I woke up startled the next day to yelling in the kitchen. Instead of going downstairs to see what was going on I figured it was best to stay up here and listen.

"You are not welcome in this house Ronald Bilius Weasley after hurting my best friend" Ginny yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Of course you'd choose her side. You're supposed to be my sister and my best mate which indicates you're suppose to be on my side." He ranted.

"Not when you cheat and hurt Hermione." Harry said clearly upset and trying not to punch his best friend in the face.

"Well at least Cho is a better lay than Hermione. She has a nicer bust and body too." He sneered back.

"Don't you ever talk about her like that again? You are no longer welcomed in this house and you will have nothing to do with our soon to be child" Harry screamed as he punched Ron in the face.

With that Ron took his leave yelling, "Who needs a family like you anyway."

There were tears rolling down my face. I was angry, and I was hurt.

'How dare he talk about me like I didn't mean anything to him after all these years? What happened to the 7 years of friendship were most of that was spent on us crushing on each other and not doing anything about it. What happened to him vowing I was the love of his life, and we were going to get engaged in a few months?' I thought to myself.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by a knock on the bedroom door. "Mione can we come in?" Harry asked.

"Ya you can come in, and before you ask I heard the whole thing" I said as I was choking up. With the sound of my face they came rushing in.

"I am so sorry Hermione. Before Ron got here I used my floo powder and told my family and they are very upset at what Ronald has done to you. They are very disappointed in him, especially since they were so excited for you two to get married" Gin said as she held me in her arms while I cried.

All three of us sat like that for at least an hour, as I finished crying. Once I was drained of all my tears I finally spoke up. "I have decided that I am going to buy a house in the mortal world. I can't and don't want to be anywhere near or associated with Ron. I think it will be a good fresh start for me. Don't worry I will stay in touch with you two, Molly, Arthur and their children. I need this change; I think it would do me a lot of good."

"If that is what you want then we are here for you every step of the way. But you still have to visit at least once a week, and spend time with your godchild, and let me rant when Harry is being mean" Ginny joked around.

"Hey I will have you know that I was not being mean when I made you take it easy cause of the pregnancy." Harry joked back. With those two playfully bickering I broke down laughing to the point I was crying.

"Well then it is decided. I need to find a house right away today" I said with a slight smile.
