A/N: Okay this is an old story I wrote a long time ago. I loved the idea and I found it on my computer. The whole thing is finished. It is old so it might not be the best because I haven't rewritten it or read over it in a while.

Ginny's face was burning red as she heard Ron and Harry's words. They where leaving her and Hermione behind like they where nothing. She could see why they wouldn't let her not go but why Hermione. Hermione was the person who always helped them but now they where leaving. "HOW DARE YOU!?" she snapped, loud and angry.

"We are trying to keep you and Hermione safe Ginny," Ron snapped back at his sister, just as loud and angry.

"IT'S NO FAIR YOU TWO!! HERMIONE IS PART OF YOUR TEAM AND YOU ARE LEAVING HER OUT!! I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU LEAVING ME OUT BECAUSE THAT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN BUT HERMIONE?!" Ginny shouted with a growl, about ready to attack her brother. Hermione was only sitting there in almost tears and wasn't sticking up for herself any. If Hermione wasn't going to do it then she would; it was for her best friend.

"GINNY!! SHUT UP ALREADY AND LET US TALK AND GIVE OUR BLOODY REASONS FOR IT!" Ron growled, glaring at his sister and really meaning for her to shut up.

"Watch your language Ronald Weasley," Hermione said calmly, trying to hide the fact that she was upset in her voice. "Now, please tell us your reasons."

Ron looked over at Hermione and could hear the sadness in her voice and how upset she really was. He could feel his heart being tarred at from how upset she was. "Well we just don't want you two to get hurt really. I mean Hermione along could bring more trouble then we really think. We all know that Voldemort wants the muggleborns gone. I think it is just too dangerous to have Hermione along no matter how strong she is."

"That's not a good reason!" Hermione snapped, trying not to break into tears. "I don't care what I am. Muggleborn or not I am still a witch Ronald."

"You don't think I know that Hermione! You are a bright witch Hermione but we just want to keep you safe. We don't know what we would do without you. Plus we need you to help give us information you learn from the Order," Ron said, trying to comfort Hermione a bit. He walked over to Hermione and put his arm around Hermione in a hug carefully. "Please let us try and keep you safe. We are your friends and we don't want to lose you."

Hermione shook her head and the tears came rolling down her cheeks. She shoved her head into Ron's shoulder and only started to cry harder as Ron's hand patted her back carefully.

"Listen you two, here you will both be under good care or you can go back to Hogwarts. Here you will be under the watch of everyone and at Hogwarts Hagrid said he would keep a good eye on you two if you came," Harry said, looking at Ginny and then at his two friends as they held each other.

"Harry, why are you doing this? I mean Hermione is part of the reason you guys get so far and now you are leaving her behind. She is the brains of the group. If it wasn't for her you might not be here at the moment. Voldemort could have killed you by now," Ginny whispered quietly, watching her brother and Hermione not wanting to make eye contact with Harry.

"Don't look at me. I was all for having her along but Ron was complaining about it so much and so worried about her. I finally got annoyed and said that she would have to stay behind. He loves her so much he is willing to break her heart and leave her here then have her along and get hurt or die in front of him," Harry whispered to Ginny so that Hermione and Ron couldn't hear at all.

"Makes sense I guess in Ron's point of view but I don't know if it really is the right thing to do. I mean sure it will make him happy to know she is safe but what about her? She is going to be worrying about Ron every minute of everyday once you two leave," Ginny whispered, looking over at Harry and then at Hermione as she cried in Ron's shoulder. She knew those two where so in love with each other it was blinding them pretty much to see how the other felt.

"I know. I tried everything to convince him."

"And?"

"It obviously didn't work since right now Hermione is crying in his shoulder after telling her she couldn't go," Harry whispered and then letting out a sigh. "Ron, we need to go."

"Okay," Ron said quietly and then pulling Hermione head out of his shoulder that was now damp from her tears. "Please behave Hermione and please help us from the safety of the Burrow," he told Hermione and whipping her wet cheeks.

Hermione nodded and then walked over joining Ginny as Harry joined Ron. She took Ginny in a hug and watched as the two waved bye to them before apparating. "So, what are we going to do? Stay here or go to Hogwarts?"

"I vote for going to Hogwarts. I spend enough time here plus it will keep my mind off of things," Ginny said, letting go of Hermione and heading up to her room.

Hermione followed, whipping the tears that Ron hadn't gotten off of her cheeks. "I think I will stay here Ginny. I don't think I could take going back to Hogwarts. You can go though, I won't stop you," she said softly.

Ginny walked into her room and fell on her bed with a sigh then staring up at the ceiling. "It is up to you what you do. If you would rather stay here Hermione then fine but I am going back to Hogwarts. I will write you everyday though," she said, sitting up and looking at Hermione who had taken a seat on her own bed.

"Then it is settled, I am staying here and you are going back to Hogwarts."
