Disclaimer: K now obviously I don't own Harry or any thing to do with the books – no matter how much I wish that I did.
Summary: Harry and Ron have left Hermione. What will she do without them? The Room of Requirement seems to think that there's somewhere else she can go to find someone to look after her.

The Room of RequirementThursday 14th April 1996
Hermione ran through the empty halls of Hogwarts, desperately trying to quiet down the heart-wrenching sobs that were coming from her chest.
How could they of done this to me? She thought, They were supposed to be my friends!
She had woken up at 4am due to a rustling sound but when she had managed to brake out of her groggy state, no one was there. As she lay back down on her pillow to sleep again a crinkling under her head alerted her. It was a letter. She turned on her bedside lamp and quickly unrolled it.
Dear Hermione, it read,
To say that we're sorry is an understatement. We understand that you'll be really angry at us after you've realised what we've done, but it's for your own safety.
I'm not sure when you're going to read this, but whatever the time is, Ron and I will be long gone. We've gone to search for the horcruxes, Hermione.
Hermione gasped as she read this. They were supposed to go together, as a team.
Just so you know Hermione, we're not betraying you. It's just…well Ron and I love you a lot, and we wouldn't be able to bare it if something happened to you.
Please don't hate us Hermione. We'll try and get back as soon as possible.
Take care,
Harry & Ron.
She had read the letter over a few times, before running into Harry and Ron's room to check if they were really gone. When she saw that their beds were empty and that they really had left her, she'd started to cry, but managed to rush out of their room before the other boy's in the dorm woke up.
It had been forty-five minutes since Hermione had read the letter for the first time, and her running had taken her to the door of the room of requirement.
"Take me to a place where I will be safe and protected from all the pain that people you love bring to you," she whispered sadly, stepping into the room of requirement.
