"Night Ron, I love you
"Night Ron, I love you!" Hermione Granger told her boyfriend, Ron Weasly. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he was acting different lately. He seemed distracted and not all their.
"Yeah night, I love you too" Ron replied without looking at her.
She thought about comforting him, but she decided against it, she would talk to him tomorrow. She stood up from the chair she was sitting on with Ron and headed for the stairs to the bedroom she shared with Ginny Weasly. She was half way to the room when she heard her name being called, it sound like Ron. She skipped down the steps and ran into him, she was so excited to hear him say her name.
"Yes?" she smiled.
"I want to know that I love you so much and that whatever happens I will always love you, nothing will ever change that, you hear me?"
"Loud and clear," she laughed, "What's wrong? It sounds like your going to die or something"
"Don't be silly, I just wanted you to know that, ok?"
"Yeah, sure, whatever you say. I love you too you know" She said as she hugged him.
"Yeah, I know" He replied as he hugged her back.
They stood like that for a long time before Hermione said, "I think we should go to bed, it's getting late, it's already midnight"
"You go ahead, I'm going to stay down here for a while"
"Okay, night" she said as she kissed him on his cheek. She headed for the stairs again, but was pulled back be Ron. She turned around, confused. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to him. He looked into her eyes and then kissed her on the mouth. The kiss was filled with so much passion that Hermione forgot who she was. Ron let her go, but her eyes were still closed. Finally she opened them to find Ron staring at her.
"Wow, you're getting good at this"
He laughed, "Well, what can I say? I'm a pro"
It felt good to hear his laugh, she smiled. She waved at him and slowly walked up the stairs. The last glance she saw of him and his smile, but what she didn't see was a single tear that fell from his eye.
Hermione walked up the stairs while pondering why Ron was acting so weird. Not just Ron, but Harry too. She shrugged it off and walked to her room. As she came to the landing, she saw Harry come out and close the door behind him.
"Hey Harry!" Hermione said, walking up to him.
He looked surprised to see her there, but he soon turned it into a smile, "Hey"
"So have you heard any news on Granville lately?"
His smile turned into an uncomfortable look that Hermione was puzzled by, but he said, "No, no news"
Granville was a decedent of Tom Riddle, mainly known as Lord Voldemort. He was about their age, about seventeen or eighteen. Lately wizards have been turning up dead or tortured, all saying it was Granville. He was an evil wizard who many of Voldemort's followers now followed him. Nobody knew his pan besides him and it looked like he wanted to keep it that way. All of his victims say it was he and then mysteriously die. Harry was currently trying to figure out what to do what about him.
"Oh, well, maybe something will turn up soon" Hermione suggested.
"Yeah, maybe. Night Hermione" He said as he gave her a hug.
"Night" she said. She now knew something was wrong because Harry never hugged her before going to sleep. She again shrugged it off and stepped into Ginny's room.
Ginny was already fast asleep so Hermione didn't dare wake her to ask what happened with Harry. She practically already knew the answer, they had a make-out session, they always do. She laughed, she remembered when Ron walked in on them. His face turned as Red as a tomato and he almost threw Harry out a window. She laid down on her bed and yawned. Within minutes she was asleep.
Hermione opened her eyes at ten o' clock. It was late, no body had woke her up yet, not even Mrs. Weasly. She sat up and looked over at Ginny who was still sound asleep. She knew something was wrong, she couldn't smell breakfast. She got up off her bed and walked over to Ginny's.
Hermione poked her in the stomach and was replied with a groan.
"Ginny!" Hermione said, "Wake up!"
"Five more minutes, mum!" Ginny groaned yet again,
"Seriously Ginny, I think something's wrong" Hermione said in her worried voice.
"Okay, I'm up" Ginny yawned, "Now what's going on?"
"Look what time it is and your mother didn't even make breakfast yet" Hermione explained.
"It's only- ten o' clock! What the heck? Mum always wakes us up at eight thirty!"
"I know! Come one, let's see what's going on"
Hermione and Ginny exited their room and walked down the steps in their pajamas. They heard a noise coming from downstairs that sounded like crying. She feared the worst, she and Ginny pulled out their wands at the same time. They started walking slowly and when they reached the bottom the stairs they gasped.
Mr. And Mrs. Weasly were on the kitchen floor. Mrs. Weasly crying and Mr. Weasly holding his wife, but had his own tears in his eyes.
"Mum?" asked Ginny as she put her wand away, as did Hermione, "What's going on?"
Mrs. Weasly just cried harder. Mr. Weasly looked at the girls with sadness in his eyes, pointed to a note on the table and said, "They're gone"
"What who's gone?" asked Ginny, now scared.
Hermione walked to the table and grabbed the note. She read it aloud:
Dear Everyone,
Sorry we had to do this, but we had to go. We are on our way to stop Granville. I know you're going to be upset, but you have to understand they we are doing this for you. We want to protect our loved ones. Always remember that we love you all and we'll be back as soon as we can.
Love,
Harry and Ron
By the time Hermione had finished reading the letter Ginny was crying and Mrs. Weasly started crying harder. Hermione looked down at the letter again, she herself had started to cry. She didn't believe it, they couldn't be gone. They would do that. She kept looking at the front, expecting them to come thought it any second and say, "Got you!"
But they didn't, they were gone.
