"Ron, where's Hermione?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Um, I think she's still unpacking her bags" Ron answered.
"Oh, poor thing having to leave her family because they don't even know who she is?" Mrs. Weasley said with a sympathetic tone.
"Now I don't' won't anyone mentioning anything or making her feel uncomfortable. Poor thing. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't say a thing for days." Mrs. Weasley said. "Has she said anything since she's been here boys?"
"Well she's been talking to us, but she doesn't talk as much as she used to. We are lucky just to get a few words out of her," Harry said. The conversation could of gone on for longer, but Hermione came down so no one said anything else on the topic.
"Did you sleep well, dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked. Hermione nodded, but didn't say anything. She sat down next to Ron. Would you like anything to eat dear? Mrs. Weasley asked. Hermione shook her head.
"You alright?" Ron asked looking concerned.
"I'm fine" Hermione said forcing a smile and giving his hand a squeeze.
"Hey mum?"
"Yes Ginny?" Mrs. Weasley replied.
"What's happening to Hogwarts?"
"Ahh well they are starting to repair damage and hopefully within a couple of months Hogwarts will be up and running again." Mrs. Weasley said try to show a cheerful smile.
No one could be happy though. Mrs. Weasley was trying to be strong for everyone, but on the inside Hermione knew she was struggling. Losing Fred took its toll on everyone. Mrs. Weasley started to clean up so Hermione helped her by collecting the dishes.
"Oh that's alright dear I can handle it"
"No its fine Mrs. Weasley go have a rest you look like you haven't slept in days" Hermione said.
"Thank you dear" Mrs. Weasley said tears forming in her eyes as she walked up the creaking stairs.
"Mione?" Ron asked.
"Yea?"
"Can you please eat something?" Hermione looked up into his blue eyes and she knew she had to do it for him, if it would bring him that little bit of satisfaction wether it was big or small he needed it.
"Sure"
After breakfast Ginny said she was going to check on Mrs. Weasley so Ron, Harry and Hermione went to go sit outside near the big tree where they used to sit as little kids. Hermione sat in the middle with Ron on her left and Harry on her right.
"So what happens now?" Harry asked
"With what?" Hermione asked
"With everything" Harry replied. Hermione watched him. He looked so much older now. He had scratches all over his face and he had big bags under his eyes. Hermione couldn't even remember the last time all of them had, had a proper sleep.
"We try to forget I guess" Hermione said looking into the distance
"What about if I don't want to forget?" Harry asked.
Hermione gave him a sad smile and took his hand. She turned to look at Ron who hadn't said a word and was staring blankly as if he didnt even know she was there. She took his hand and watched as he turned to look at her for a split second, then turned away again. Hermione leant her head on his shoulder and felt her a wave of sadness as he let go of her hand, but she felt it return when his hand rested around her shoulder and pulled her in close.
They were still the golden trio, and they always would be. They were together forever and they would help each other through the tough times...
