The next day after the flashback
Hermione woke up to the sun gleaming through the window in Ginny's room. Before she could even start to enjoy the warm feeling, she heard a scream downstairs, reminding her a lot of Mrs Weasley. Still owning her war instincts, she decided to pick her wand up, and creep out of the bedroom, cautious of not waking Ginny up. She tiptoed downstairs, careful as to not walk on any of the creaky boards (which there were many of in the Burrow). As she reached through to the kitchen, she quickly went through all of the defensive spells that she had learnt during her time in the DA. Confident she knew many, she jumped into the kitchen and shouting at the same time,
'Mrs Weasley! Who was it? Was it a death eater? HARRY! RON! GET HERE NOW! THERE MIGHT BE A DEATH EATER IN TH – what?' she stopped talking abruptly.
'I said that there was no death eater dear, I was just reading the Daily Prophet on an article on you. They have written something about how you love the fame and being a part of the Golden Trio' Mrs Weasley said, shocked and annoyed.
Just as she said that Harry, Ron, Ginny came thundering downstairs, with the twins hot on their heels.
'What happened?' Ginny screamed?
'We heard –'
'-Something about-'
'-death eaters?' Fred and George said, panting.
'Hermione, are you OK?' Ron asked his girlfriend.
'Oh my, I'm sorry everyone! War instinct took over me. I heard Mrs Weasley scream so I automatically thought that it was a death eater attack or some sort', Hermione said, feeling embarrassed.
The twins merely groaned, and retreated back to their room, where they would try to sleep for another couple of hours. Ginny and Harry were smirking at Hermione, finding it highly amusing about how cautious their best friend still was, but mainly due to how Ron was caring for her.
'Babe, its fine, don't worry. Voldemort's gone. There are no more death eaters, and even if there were then there is no need for you to worry, I'm right here for you', Ron said lovingly.
Hermione looked at him, feeling rather uneasily.
'Ronald, I've told you countless numbers of times, how much I hate the word 'babe'. And in case you have not realised, I think I know that Voldemort is gone. I have a rather detailed memory of being a small reason for his downfall. And although it is rather flattering of you to be there for me, I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself', Hermione rambled in a rather sarcastic way, causing Ron to frown.
'Mrs Weasley, can I have a look at the Prophet please? I'd like to see what lies they are making up this time', Hermione asked in her usual, polite manner.
'Of course dear', Mrs Weasley said, passing over the paper at the same time.
Hermione stared at the front page for a while, before finding the page reference for the article on her, and there it said
'HERMIONE GRANGER – THE BRIGHTEST WITCH OF HER AGE – THE BOY – WHO – LIVED'S FORMER GIRLFRIEND - ADMITS TO THE FAME OF BEING A PART OF THE GOLDEN TRIO' TURN TO PAGE 4.
Hermione groaned. No, she grunted. She hated the Prophet. She hated the fame. She hated all of this. She hadn't even read the article, but there were already a handful of lies, lying amongst the words. How many times has she told everyone that her and Harry had never dated? Those who were close to her know that Harry is like the brother she never head. And recently, she's had those feelings where she thinks Ron is like that too. Also, when did she say she liked the fame? Wasn't it just yesterday when she mumbled to herself that she hated it? Sighing, she turned to page 4, knowing that the worst was still yet to come.
'HERMIONE GRANGER – THE BRIGHTEST WITCH OF HER AGE – THE BOY – WHO – LIVED'S FORMER GIRLFRIEND - ADMITS TO THE FAME OF BEING A PART OF THE GOLDEN TRIO' By Rita Skeeter
Hermione Granger, the Muggle born witch, who is most commonly known as the brightest witch of her age, or as Harry Potter's ex – girlfriend, was yesterday spotted in Diagon Alley, in Three Broomsticks, with her friend, the infamous Ginerva Weasley – current girlfriend of Harry Potter.
Those who saw her immediately tuned into to trying to get an autograph from her. Any normal celebrity would graciously sign all requests; however Miss Granger decided to make a quick escape from the restaurant, hoping for more attention.
Witnesses said that they were shocked and many parents said that they had to take some very unhappy children home.
One witness, under the name of Lavender Brown, who also befriended Miss Granger whilst at Hogwarts, said that she heard Miss Granger say, 'I love this attention' and ' I love how everyone thinks I am famous and wants my autograph'.
It is sad really, to see such a bright witch of her age, drowning herself in all of this fame. We wish her all the best from the Daily Prophet, and we hope that she continues to succeed in anything she does.
Hermione was fuming. How DARE that woman say something of that? And Lavender Brown? What has she ever done wrong to that girl? When did she say that?
'Wow', Ginny said, shocked.' That's a whole new level of low'.
'How could she say something like that? This is ludicrous Hermione, you really should complain. And it's not just you; it's all three of us. We cannot live our lives like this, if they just keep documenting our lives like this. And it's not like they are saying the truth.' Harry shouted.
'I know Harry, I know. But there is nothing I can do. We'll just have to hope that this whole thing wears down.' Hermione said, immediately calming Harry down. If there was one person in the whole world, who could calm Harry down, regardless of the problem, it has always been Hermione. The two had such a strong sibling relationship that nobody could break it.
'Right, let's all settle down dears, and have some good English breakfast', Mrs Weasley said cheerfully, trying to ease the tension.
'Sounds like a good idea to me!' Ron shouted.
'When hasn't it Ronneikens?' the twins said, as they came downstairs, with a smirk.
