Thank You

The mirror revealed a pale-faced, limp-haired bruised shadow of the witch she used to be. Hermoine Weasley nee Granger stared at the rapidly forming bruise on her cheek, 'I need to get away from him' she thought to herself 'but how?' she mused.

After Hogwarts and the final battle the golden trio had fallen apart, No-one knew what had caused the once inseparable trio to fall apart but Harry had left refusing to say why or where he was going, and Hermoine had lost out on her one chance to tell him how she felt. Ron had been loving at first but then when they were married and she told him she didn't want kids just yet, that he started to get increasingly violent, hitting and then saying "I love you and I didn't mean it and I'm sorry".

Later on in her office, Hermoine was once again glad that she had learnt glamour charms as they served to hide the bruise on her face, switching on the radio she started listening to muggle radio stations when a song came on that sounded like hers and rons situations. She found herself singing along "The fights, those nights
I tried to pretend it don't hurt
The way, I prayed
Someday that you would love me
Really, completely
Just how I wanted it to be
But no, so wrong
Can't believe I stayed with you so long
You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold
You're such a joke to me, yeah
For every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just wanna tell you this

You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank you
My head, near dead
Just the way you wanted it
My soul, stone cold
Cos I was under you're control
So young, so dumb
Knew just how to make me succumb
But I understand
To make yourself feel like a man
You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold
You're such a joke to me, yeah

For every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just wanna tell you this
You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank you
You coulda had it all babe
It coulda been so right
I woulda given you everything
Morning through night
Yeah, you taught me some lessons
Those are my blessings
That won't happen again
Thank you"

When the song finished she had fresh tears running down her face as she realised that Ron had more control over her than he should have. After finishing up for the day she headed to the public floo and flooed to the burrow. From there she just apparated home. As she walked through her front door a fist connected with the side of her face, the force of it forcing her to the floor. "you stupid bitch, you're late where the fuck you been" she dimly registered the yelling as coming from Ron but her head was spinning and she could barely think straight so without even thinking she just apparated out of there.

As she hit the floor once again all she saw before she passed out was Fred weasley coming round from behind the counter at weasley wizarding weezes and over to where she lay
