Chapter 1

*Hermione's POV*

How long can you be mad at someone before it turns into belligerent rage? How much anger would it take to consume someone? To make them so upset that they wish nothing but sorrow and hurt on a person? I think I am about to find out the answers to my questions very soon. I was pacing in front of the fire place in the heads common room. I was waving my hands and opening and closing my mouth to say something but every time nothing was coming out. I stopped in front of the fire place and let out a huge sigh, Ginny stood, grabbed my shoulders and just looked at me for a minute before saying anything.

"What is wrong? You told me to come here yes you haven't said anything for an hour!" She started to look a little concerned about my mental state. I sighed again and just looked at her, I took a huge breath before I began my rant.

"Its about your brother and someone else." I let out my held breath and just waited, I already started feeling the relief of telling someone.

"For one my brother is an idiot, I don't even know how you have feeling for such a dumb bloke!" Her laugh was genuine, she forced me onto the couch but I couldn't sit for more than a few minutes, my legs wouldn't let me sit still.

"I know your brother is an idoit. I don't have feelings for him anymore, not after what he did to me, after what I caught him red handed doing." Ginny's eyebrows cocked up and her lips pursed in confusion. I just nodded. "You know the dance last week? Alright well we went to the dance together, that's an obvious we were dating right!? Well everything was all fine and what not until I couldn't find him. That's when I found you and Harry snogging in the corner and you didn't even know where he was. I thought things were going great, fantastic even." I took another deep breath. " Well around midnight I went looking for him because I hadn't seen him in about an hour, neither had anyone else. I searched the whole castle and decided to go up to the astronomy tower to see if I could spot him from a place a little higher. Well I found him alright" My fist started clenching my knuckles were turning white and I was cutting off the circulation to my fingers. Ginny's hand went to her open mouth just waiting for what I was about to say.

"I found him and Pavarti snogging like there was no tomorrow with their shirts unbuttoned against the wall." I stopped to look at Ginny and she was speechless, her jaw was almost on the floor, I just shook my head, "I didn't say anything to him, I don't even think he knew that I was there I just turned around and ran down the stairs. When I got to the bottom I had started crying and when I opened the door I ran into Malfoy and his dumb friends. I was crying infront of Malfoy and his friends, that was like running salf on a wound Ginny do you know how bad that is?" I had to stop talking and start fighting back tears that were starting to win their battle with my eyes.

"Sweetie what happened?" Ginny was no longer on the couch but was hugging me, she was rubbing small circles on my back trying to get me to relax.

"When I looked at them with tears falling down my face they started laughing and calling me stupid names that I wouldn't have normally just brushed off. So I ran up here and haven't talked to anyone but you for the past week. Ron hasn't tried to talk to me he hasn't tried to find me, or to even see if I was still alive! He tells me that he loves me then he does that to me? He doesn't even talk to me for a week? What kind of love is that? Urgh! And he has the nerve to cheat on me! How could he be so stupid to throw away the best thing that he ever had?" I was pacing again by this point. I am just afraid for Pavarti's safety next time I see her, that pretty face of hers might not be intact.

"Hermione we are talking about Ron here, for one he is daft and is incredibly stupid to cheat on you. You're the smartest witch of our time, you're beautiful, funny, nice, I could keep going but I'm making myself fall in love with you!" Ginny started laughing which made me start laughing. We were laughing so hard that we were on the floor crying, there is only one week of school left before summer break lets out. I have no more exams no more tests I vow to make this last week at Hogwarts fun, but I don't know what I am going to do once school lets out. I have no place to go, I can't go home, I took all of my parents memories of me, if I show up at their house they wont know who I am! It may only be 10:30 at night but I want to get some sleep, I am exhausted from being mad all day. I don't understand how Malfoy does it every single day!

"Come on Ginny I will walk you back to the dorm since its past curfew, at least if you are with me you wont get into any trouble from anyone else."

When we reached the Gryffindor common room Ron and Harry were sitting on the couches in front of the fire playing chess. Ginny walked up behind Harry giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I decided on giving Ron a second chance.

"Hello Ron" I smiled sweetly and sat beside him and put my head on his shoulder. He kept it there for a few minutes before shrugging it off. I looked at Ginny, she shrugged her shoulders and mouthed 'I don't know'. When I got up to leave, Lavender came down the stairs, oh how I despised her. The things I would like to do to that girl were unthinkable!

I was already in my room when I heard the portrait open and close. Another late night I thought to myself, but what he does has absolutely nothing to do with me nor should it concern me. I tossed once again and looked at the clock, 1:30 am, I haven't even closed my eyes yet, my thoughts were running wild and not letting me fall asleep. I couldn't stop from replaying the kiss in my mind over and over again. I let out a loud frustrated scream. I got dressed and grabbed my boots and jacket, when I reached the courtyard I decided I wanted to go further, I walked past Hagrid's hut, I made it to the lake and decided this was as far as I wanted to go. I took a seat on a huge stump that was practically in the water, my knees rose to my chest with my arms wrapped around them and I stayed perfectly still for what seemed like hours. Just before I realized I was dreaming.
