Chapter 1: Lies

"Ronald, please-"

"No Mione! I wanna know! This isn't fair to me! I deserve the truth!"

"Ron, I've told you one hundred times-"

"You are lying. There's gotta be a real reason."

"Ron that is the real reason. I'm not lying-"

"You are! You're cheating-"

"What?!"

"That's the only logical reason. You know how many women want my babies? And you claim you're not ready. Bullshit. Who is it?" Hermione stood to summon her belongings. She calmly spelled her things into the one box and one suitcase she already had prepared. "What the fuck are you doing now? You think you're big shit if you leave me? Mione you'll be back." Hermione only paused for a moment in her packing, but she quickly continued her work, ignoring Ron's continued nonsense in the background. Her melancholy mood was visible on her face as she silently watched all of her pictures, cookware, clothing, and books land in her box. She stared at Ron for a moment after lifting her wand once more, contemplating hexing him. 'No Hermione' she told herself. 'Just leave like you've been planning for so long. Just go'.

"I only want to know, Mione. Who could have possibly deceived you into thinking they want you? Who's misled you so horribly?" She really had no intention of answering his inane ramblings, but when she saw the grin on his face she knew it was necessary. She answered him as she shrunk her box and suitcase and placed each in one coat pocket.

"Ronald, the person I'm leaving you for is me. I need more than you can give and this giant tantrum is just an example of that. There's no torrid affair. I'm just not interested in this type of commitment with you and you clearly cannot handle my decision." He opened his mouth and a rich laugh fell from his lips. In a different situation, the laughter would have warmed her, and infected her with mirthful joy, but given the situation it only echoed through her empty heart. How had she loved this man?

"You need a place to sleep and my bed will always be the only satisfying resting place. So where will you go, Mione?" She'd been waiting for him to ask this question and it brought her the deepest satisfaction to see him still at her answer.

"Draco's manor, of course. Goodbye Ronald."
