Disclaimer: I own nothing.

OK, this is my first Hp fan fic, but not my first one all together. I wrote some for the TV show Joan of Arcadia. So anyways sorry to any of my old readers who didn't get to see what happened at the end o f the last story. You still may get to, you never know.

The first part of this is just setting the story up, so bare with me.

Takes place After Half Blooded Prince. HG/HP (Hermione and Ron never together.)

After school let out Hermione and Harry spent the summer together. Harry had been given special permission from prof. McGonagall to live with Hagrid after Dumbledore's death since no where he stayed would be considered safe and he might as well not make himself any more miserable than was already necessary. Shortly after this Harry and Hermione had started dating, this continued clear through the summer until right up until school was to start again. Then, unexpectedly Hermione broke up with Harry. She claimed relationships at such a young age are silly and are doomed to failure. She also spoke of how a more heated brake up could lead to lose of friendship and how she would need time to study since her biggest tests would be this year. Then, she finally mentioned what Harry had been waiting to hear from her all along, what he thought it was truly about.

"With Dumbledore gone you will need your wits about you Harry, having a girlfriend would only make it that much harder to protect yourself."

Harry then argued.

"But you wouldn't be a nuisance, you would help me protect myself, and young relationships are only stupid if people let them be. We clearly have something special, a friendship that is more than just a fling, we were friends first. Voldemort can't hurt me anymore than it would for me to lose you right now. I need you Hermione. Can't you see that? I need you to stay with me, help me fight this, Please."

"This is the exact silliness I was talking about Harry."

She bites her lip, as she watches him shake his head in disbelief of her words.

"I'm sorry Harry."

She says as she pecks him on the cheek and turns toward the door."

"You're just scared, you're scared something good may actually happen to you for once, something other than an A on a test."

Harry yells at her with rage from his being so upset.

She whips around quickly and heads toward him with tears in her eyes.

"Your right, I am scared. I'm scared to death that my best friend is going to die because he is too busy thinking about me and not watching out for himself, Harry, what do you want me to do? I'm not selfish enough to keep you as a boyfriend until you die. Me letting you go is your only shot, (she smiles still upset) and let me tell you, its not a very good one. The dark lord is strong again and he's after you, and not alone either. He has all his followers after you as well. Harry, He had Dumbledore killed! The greatest wizard to ever live! Do you not understand this?"

Harry reaches out to pull her into a hug but she just pushes off of him and runs out the door.

Ok, ill leave this for now. The next part will be traveling to present day where they will be in school two months later. But here is the stipulations, lol I need to know if I shall continue. So, that requires reviews. Its not hard lol just write in and tell me what you think. 5 reviews required for me to update. And the next chapter is done and I could add it today, but lol I want to see how this will go first.
