First of all this is my favorite ship, I've never tried a story before but this could be fun. I love Bill Hermione ships and this will be eventually. Excuse any punctation and grammar problems I try to edit but I'm not perfect.

Bill Weasley sat on the doorstep of the small London apartment he had purchased with Fluer after their wedding 3 years earlier, a tear streaming down his cheek. He had forgotten what it felt like to cry. He reached up and touched his once handsome face and wondered if that could be the cause. He would never look the same again. That's what all the specialists said. Not even a wizards spell could help him. Fluer had always been too beautiful for him, but now she was in a completely different league. He was meant for a life of loneliness, while Fluer was off exploring the world with Oliver Wood. He knew that they worked together and that they were friends but this was too much. He wasn't sure he could ever walk into the apartment again. He had come home from a rough day at work at Gringotts hoping to spend a quiet night alone with is wife. Instead he'd gotten a shocking surprise. When he entered there had been a large suitcase on the couch. He screamed out her name and there was no answer. He could hear voices coming from the bedroom. He stepped inside. He saw them lying together in a warm enbrace their bodies intertwined with the glow of making love. The room smelled of it. He felt like gaging but all he could do was clear his throat in the doorway.

"Oh my god." were the first words out of Fluer's mouth. He couldn't help but notice that her once thick French accent had nearly faded.

"Well, well, well, he's just a friend is he?" Bill asked Fluer stared at him with no answer.

"I didn't mean for you find out like this." were the next words she managed.

"How did you mean to tell me that you were sleeping with Oliver?" Bill screamed. "Oh honey by the way you know Oliver Wood I'm sleeping with him."

"I was leaving tonight. I was going to tell you later today."

"We love each other Bill we never meant for this to happen." Oliver said Bill felt like punching him in the face.

"You married me Fluer that was supposed to mean something. We were supposed to spend the rest of our lives together, doesn't that mean anything to you?"

"It did once Bill but not any more." Fluer said. "I used to love you, and then you got bitten. and it consumed your entire life."

"So it is the way I look then?" Bill screamed angrily. "3 years ago you said it didn't matter, you said that in your wedding vows to me and now suddenly it does matter, now that you've got yourself someone more in your league.

"NO!!!" Oliver screamed "That's not why it happened."

"It's the way you are, you spend all day feeling sorry for yourself and I just can't take it. I loved you once Bill, but sometimes love just isn't enough!" Fluer explained.

"I'm sorry Bill, It wasn't supposed to be like this, you weren't supposed to find out this way." Oliver screamed Bill walked over and hit him hard in the noise he screamed in pain.

"You know what both of you get your clothes on and get out of my sight!" Bill screamed. It was then that he walked outside. He stared at his feet and waited. Fluer walked out alone a few minutes later and sat next to him.

"I do wish you the best you know that right?" She said gently.

"I can't deal with you right now." Bill managed. "Please just leave ok?"

"I'll be back for the rest of my things tomorrow." She managed through her thick veil of tears. She then walked back inside and Bill heard two loud pops that he knew was the sound of more then one wizard apparating. It was then that he started cry. He would have given the world for her and now she was gone forever. He finally managed to muster up the courage to walk back inside. He laid on now suitcaseless couch and cried until he was fast asleep.

Hermione Granger sat down in a small chair in the back of the Leaky cauldron the place was nearly empty today which surprised her. She hadn't been there in several months. She knew Harry and Ginny were coming and Ron, she still wasn't sure how she could bare to be around him. This meeting was a celebration of the 2 year anniversary of Harry's victory over Voldemort and she felt obligated to be there. Harry and Ginny were engaged and she wasn't really sure what Ron was doing. They had dated for a while. Hermione had expected that they would get married just like she had always thought in the back of her mind. However, Ron had abruptly broken up with her claiming that he still thought of her as a friend and they had made little contact since. Hermione was wearing her best dress and she had pulled her hair into a loose curly knot. She wanted Ron to think twice about breaking up with her and there was no better way. She smiled a little as she saw Ron step through the door but scowled when she saw that he was opening the door for someone a small Indian girl stepped through the door looking amazingly beautiful. She smiled and waved at Hermione. She knew that this girl was either Parvati or Padma Patil, but being that they were identical twin sisters she couldn't be sure which it was.

"Hermione." Ron said with a small smile as they reached the table. "You remember Padma Patil."

"Of course." Hermione did her best to fake a smile "it's so nice to see you again."

"Harry sent me an owl he and Ginny are running a few minutes late." Ron explained.

"So how have you been Ron?" Hermione managed

"We've been great Padma and I just bought an apartment together in London, we've been seeing eachother nine months now you know."

"9 months wow I'm surprised Ginny or Harry never mentioned that."

"I asked them not tell anyone until we were sure, I mean I wouldn't want another fiasco like..." He started but then trailed off. Hermione knew he had been about mention their relationship. The one that everyone was sure would last forever.

"Ron has asked me to marry him actually." Padma spouted. Ron glared at her slightly. "See."

"Wow that's really beautiful." Hermione said as Padma stuck the almost nonexistent diamond in her face. "Wow that's, well that's great. I need to use the toilet if you will excuse me for just a moment as she stood up she wasn't sure if her knees would support her. She walked into the bathroom and began to cry just a little, doing her best to hid it from her face. She was suprised when she stepped out a moment later and Ron was standing next to the door.

"Can we talk for a sec." Ron smiled at her in the way she could never resist.

"Sure." Hermione said.

"I didn't want to tell you like this." He said. "I know that once upon a time you and I were pretty serious ourselves."

"Yeah." Hermione said letting her face hang for just a second.

"Look you know that you and Harry are my best friends in the world, right?" He smiled "I would give my own life to save either of you in a second."

"I know that." Hermione said "I'm sorry I've been so awful."

"You and I were great in theory Hermione. Everyone always knew we would end up together, but I just didn't feel it and I hated myself, because I wished I did."

"You can't help who you love Ron." Hermione smiled now, she looked at Padma "Do you love her?"

"Yes, she makes me so happy, she's the one Hermione."

"Then I'm happy for you ok?" Hermione smiled as she saw Harry and Ginny arrive.

"Friends?" Ron smiled

"Friends" Hermione said throwing herself against him in soft friendly hug like they used to have. She knew that it would never be the same but she also knew that all she could do was try.

Later that night as Hermione arrived at her flat she grabbed and picture off the mantel. She smiled slightly it was taken just a few days after Harry defeated Voldemort, it was Harry and Ginny and her and Ron. That was the way she thought it would always be. She was happy for him. But somewhere deep inside she was sad too. Sad for herself. Maybe Ron was right, maybe she had always just expected to love him so she convinced herself she did. But somewhere deep inside she feared that her heart was broken and she might never find someone who could mend it.
