"Hermione, there's someone else", he says suddenly, looking at me in a way that can only be described as waiting for the worst. We've been fighting for a couple hours, but this simple sentence takes the conversation in a complete 180 degree turn. All we've been discussing was me spending more time with him and less with my books when this was brought into the picture.
I do a small double-take. I'd turned, intending to walk into the bedroom we shared, but quickly storm back up to him at the words. "Excuse me?" I ask, doing my best to keep my voice level.
"Th-there's someone else... I'm in love with someone else, Hermione."
Tears slowly well up in my eyes, and I can tell he doesn't know what else to say, so I decide to ask the obvious question. "How... How could you?"
"How could I what?" He asks, rather dumbstruck, only adding fuel to the fire that is beginning to rage within me.
"Cheat?!" I shriek. It's probably not the best idea, considering we have several neighbors that share our small apartment building, and it's very early hours on a Sunday morning, but I'm so far beyond caring at this point.
Casting a quick silencing charm at our front door, (Our front door, I think sadly) he says in as calm a voice as he can muster, "I did not cheat."
"And I'm supposed to believe you?" I snap back, seething up at him. I know I'm being downright cruel, but I honestly don't care. I've given the last three years of my life to this man. And for what? For him to go messing around with another woman? No, we've been fighting so much lately, and I just can't take it anymore.
"I'm leaving," I say quietly, and much more calmly, before he can answer my question.
"What?" he stares down at me, open-mouthed, and clearly hurt, for a second before finding his voice once again. "Hermione, don't go, please-"
"No, Ron!" I say, the tears that have been threatening to fall for hours now finally give way. "I can't, I'm sorry, please don't try to find me."
And with that, I Disapperate.
A/N: I know this is a really short chapter, and I'm sorry about that, but it' s really only the prologue, They will be longer in the future!
Also sorry if either Ron or Hermione came out a bit jerk-y. Neither of them will be, I promise! I love Ron to death, so this won't be a Ron-bashing fic.
I'm hoping to have chapter one up by tomorrow... I'll do my best!
Thanks for reading, and don't forget to review!
