Hermione sat on her bay window ledge and banged her head against the glass. She held one of her scarlet pillows to her chest. A silent tear rolled down her pale cheek as she stared out the windowpane and watched cars go by in the pouring rain. She looked at the family across the street through their window. She watched as they laughed amongst themselves, seeming happy. She started to remember when her life was like that. But there was no time for memories now. She had to pack. She was going to the Weasley's for a visit.

Hermione grabbed her bags and walked down the steps. As she reached the bottom she looked around. She saw the paintings on the walls and the pictures of her family. A certain picture caught her eye and she walked over to it. She set down her bags on the soft white rug and stared at it up close.
It was of her parents. The same parents that died a year ago, during the war against Voldemort. He had gone on a killing spree against muggles and they were his first target. They had fought all they could against him, but it was no use. That's why she was going to the Weasley's. She was going to stay with them till she got a job and place of her own.
She reached up and took the picture off the wall. She hugged it and slowly tucked it away in her purse.
She cleared her throat and walked to the fireplace. Then she stopped herself. She couldn't go by floo powder. It wouldn't be healthy...
* * *
On the way to the Weasley's she began to think some more. She began to think about her friends. Then her mind landed on Harry.
Everyone had just graduated from Hogwarts a month ago. He had left to be an auror and train under Mad Eye Moody the day after graduation. They were still friends, but they were never really the same.
::Flashback::
"Hermione, even though we broke up, we can still be friends," Harry told her. He lifted her chin up to reveal her teary eyes. She nodded her head and abruptly hugged him.
He smiled a little and wrapped his big arms around her. He was about to kiss her, and then remembered, he couldn't do that.
::Flashback::
They had never really meant to break up. Someone had used a polyjuice potion and changed into Harry while he was in Hogsmeade and Hermione was back at the castle.
The person pretended to be Harry and made sure Hermione saw him "cheating" on her.
When she finally believed him, she thought it wouldn't be good to get back together. That was only 1 week before graduation.

"Hermione dear!" Mrs. Weasley yelled. She ran up to her as she got out of the flying car (Mr. Weasley got another one for her).
"Hullo, Mrs. Weasley." She said as she was almost squeezed to death in one of her hugs.
"Come in dear! I have lunch on the table!" She said excitedly and dragged her across the green grass and into the crooked house.
When she got in the house she said her hellos and sat down. There was a lot of different conversations going around the table until it landed on Percy. And his baby. And baby names.
She started to feel a little uncomfortable, but bared it. But then the conversation landed on Harry. Hermione would have been fine, if it wasn't for one comment Mrs. Weasley said.
"I hope Harry finds a girl at the auror party that they have to bring you into the program. He needs to settle down and have a kid sometime right?" She said as everyone stared at her like she was crazy.
Even though that comment meant nothing, that's what made her realize it. She had to get herself out.
