Sorry I've sort of abandoned this story. I was trying to plan what way i want this story to go.

Chapter 2 – A Horrible Letter
Hermione sat munching on her breakfast, engrossed in her Transfiguration notes, ignoring the huge din that was surrounding her. That was until the mail owls arrived. Hermione wasn't expecting any mail other than the morning's Daily Prophet which she received every morning. However a light grey, screech owl dropped an ivory coloured envelope in front of her, splashing cereal and milk everywhere.

"Bloody owls are mental!" Ron screeched taking out his wand to clear up the mess.

At first she thought the letter might have been from Fred but her name wasn't written in Fred's messy hand writing plus they always spoke via their two way notebooks. She carefully opened her letter and took out the folded piece of parchment.

"Another love letter from Fred?" Ginny who was sat across from her wondered.

Hermione shook her head and began reading.

"To little perfect, prefect Hermione,
You may think that, that blood traitor, boyfriend Fred Weasley loves you but here is the proof that he doesn't give a damn about you. I caught your oh-so-perfect boyfriend kissing a very pretty blonde witch during our last Hogsmede visit and have enclosed a photo for proof. I am oh, so sorry that you have to find out like this but clearly Fred only sees you as a know-it-all-mudblood."

Hermione had to read the letter twice before the words written in black ink sunk in. She just couldn't believe what was written. She pulled out the photo and there right in front of her was Fred kissing a blonde haired witch. An icy knife stabbed through her stomach as she watched the couple in the picture, tears pricking the back of her eyes. She grabbed her bag, ignoring the

"What's wrong Hermione?" from Ginny and the

"Are you alright Hermione?" from Harry.

Before they could ask her any more questions, Hermione had shot like bullet out of the Great Hall and up to her dorm as fast as her legs would carry her.

'How could he do this to me?' she cried flopping down onto her bed.

The other girls were thankfully down at breakfast so wouldn't be returning to their dorm until later on. She began to sob, her heart shattering into thousands of tiny pieces while she hammered her fists into her pillow. She was that far by herself that she didn't hear Ginny entering her room. It was only when the red head girl was stood beside her bed did she notice her presence.

"Hermione what's wrong? Has something happened to your family?" Ginny asked sitting herself down on the edge of the bed.

Hermione never answered, just thrust the letter and photo into Ginny's hands. Ginny read the letter carefully then looked at the photo.

"What the hell?" she exclaimed. "What until I get my hands on that git!"

"How could he do it Gin? He promised me that I was the only girl for him, that he loved me." Hermione sobbed.

Ginny pulled her friend into a hug.

"I'm supposed to meet him on Saturday again, I don't think I can face him!" Hermione sniffed wiping her tears with a tissue.

"I'll come with you, he'll feel my wrath alright." Ginny snapped as she looked at the photo again. "A bat bogey hex or two should do the trick."

Hermione kept asking herself the same questions over and over again but for the first time in her life she had no answers.

"Gin please don't tell Harry or Ron about this. They'll do mental." Hermione cried.

"Don't worry I won't. Look I'll see you at break, I'm going to go and write a very nice letter to my brother then I've got Potions." Ginny explained then marched off to the owerly.

Hermione opted to stay in her room, skipping History of Magic, one of the few classes she could probably get away with skipping without getting into trouble. Lavender made an appearance before class to get her quill.

"What's wrong with you?" the girl asked Hermione as she rummaged in her trunk for a new quill.

"I'm not feeling very well, must have been something I ate. Will you tell Ron and Harry I'll see them at break." Hermione sniffed.

"Yeah. You're not skipping classes are you?" Lavender wondered.

"Yeah I might head up to Madame Pomprey to get something to help me." Hermione answered.

Lavender didn't ask any questions, just left Hermione alone with her thoughts.

Hermione wasn't sure how long she had stayed in her dorm for, nor did she really care. Her heart had been broken by someone she thought had loved her, someone she had loved dearly. She couldn't believe that Fred had cheated on her but she should have seen it coming. Fred was very popular and was never short of female attention, he knew how to flirt with the ladies.

Hermione really didn't feel good at all and did consider going to the hospital wing to get something to calm her down. She took out her two way note book and complimented writing Fred a message. Her quill hovered over the crisp ivory page for a short time before she with withdrew it.

'What do I say to him?' she wondered.

'oh hi Fred, I have proof that you were cheating on me.' no she couldn't say that to him.

This was not going to be an easy task. How did she go about asking Fred about him cheating? Did she wait until Saturday when she seem him, then just trust the letter and photo into his hands then wait for an exclamation? Did she refuse to meet up with him on Saturday full stop? No she couldn't do that, it would be too suspicious. Then she wondered what Ginny would say in her letter to him. She let out a small, defeated sigh and took out her Charms homework and began working on it in the hope it would take her mind off Fred.
