auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Hi mom, time to get up," said Charlie extra cherry.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Hermione groaned and noticed that Charlie was excited about something.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Charlie, calm down," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""I can't, I get to see dad today," said Charlie so excited.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Hermione rolled her eyes for she had forgotten that it was the day Charlie went to his father's.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Okay, I will," said Charlie.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""With that Charlie got off of Hermione's bed and ran out of the room.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Why today," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Hermione laid back down in her bed and thought about how she was going to deal with bringing Charlie to his dad's.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""An hour later Hermione met Charlie downstairs ready to walk out the door when her cell phone started to ring. She grabbed her phone out of her pocket and saw that it was Ginny calling.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Hey Mione, I just wanted to call and see if you wanted to come over for dinner tonight," said Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Um, sure I just have to drop Charlie off at his dad's and I'll be over," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Ok, how have you been holding up with having to see Ron every other week," asked Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""I've been doing okay, it's just really hard that's all," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Ya I get that, I'm still so sorry that Ron hurt you," said Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""It's okay Gin, it's not your fault that Ron cheated on me," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Well I never will forgive him for doing that," said Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Ginny, I have to go, i'll see you later," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Ya, bye," said Ginny as she hung up.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Hermione turned off her phone and put it into her pocket.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""With a wave of her wand they apparted to Ron's house.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Here we are," said Hermione walking Charlie up to the front door.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""A second later the door opened revealing an angry looking Ron.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Hi Dad," said Charlie as he pushed past Hermione and went to hug Ron.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Hey Kiddo," said Ron as he hugged him back.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Why don't you go inside, and give me a second to talk with your mom," said Ron as he pulled out if the hug.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Okay," said Charlie as he took his bag and went into the house.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Love you Charlie," Hollered Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Hermione wait," said Ron as he grabbed her by the wrist.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""What," screamed Hermione holding back tears.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""I just wanted to say i'm so sorry for hurting you, and that I never will again," said Ron.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Can you give me another chance?"

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Hermione looked at Ron and got that feeling she felt when she was around him.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Please Hermione, let me prove to you that I love you," said Ron.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Just as Hermione was going to say something the door opened to reveal Lavender Brown.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Hey Won-Won, you gonna come back in soon," asked Lavender.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""I'll be right there," said Ron through gritted teeth.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""I can't believe you tried to get back with me when clearly you've been dating other people," said Hermione now crying.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Hermione please just listen to me," begged Ron.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""No Ron, not anymore," said Hermione as she apparted away.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Ron was left there staring at into blank calm daylight.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Five minutes later Hermione popped into Ginny and Harry's house. Hermione fell to the floor crying.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Gin, where should we put her," asked Harry.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Um, the first guest room on the right," said Ginny,

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Harry carried Hermione to guest room and laid her on the bed.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""I need you to talk to Ron and tell him to stay away from me and my son," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Yes please, I don't want my son anywhere near him," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Well Hermione you do need to remember that Ron is his father," said Harry.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Hermione looked up at him and was ready to punch him until she remembered that he was doing her a favour.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Ya, i'm gonna get going," said Harry as he left the room.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""As Harry left Ginny came in and sat on the bed by Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Ron tried to get back with me when he was with Lavender," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""He hurt me again," said Hermione now crying once again.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Okay, i'm gonna give him a piece of my mind," said Ginny as she grabbed her wand and went to apparte.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""No Ginny, just help me," said Hermione as she went up to Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""I need to get out of here, I need to go back to the one place that felt like home to me."

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Ginny nodded and that's when an idea came to her.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Why don't you apply for a job at hogwarts that way you can live there but Charlie can also attend school," said Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""That's a great idea, except that I don't want my child to learn about magic," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Hermione, he was born a wizard, he's got magic parents," said Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Still I don't want Charlie anywhere near hogwarts," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Well it's either that or he stays with Ron," said Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""What do you think is better for him."

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""Hermione thought about it and knew that Ginny was right, Charlie would be safest at hogwarts.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"=""" Okay, how do I apply for a job," asked Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Well, why don't you go with Harry to work tomorrow morning and talk to Mcgonagall," said Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""That's a good idea, i'll do that but I need someone to watch Charlie for me," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""I can watch him since James, Albus, and Lily are away at school," said Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Thanks Ginny," said Hermione.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""I'm always here for you Hermione, just know that," said Ginny hugging her.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Thanks," said Hermione as she pulled out of the hug.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Well I should get going soon but Harry's bringing Charlie."

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Why, I thought he was supposed to be with Ron for the week," asked Ginny.

auto;="" background-color:="" rgba(255,="" 255,="" 0);"="""Ginny after everything that happened today I don't want him near Ron," said Hermione.
