Chapter 2 Breaking the News

As she walked in throw the portrait hole. Ginny came running over to her tears in her eyes. "Hermione where have you been?" Hermione looked around at all the faces in the room all-tearing up at the site of her. It was full of Gryffindor and the rest of the D.A.

McGonagall was sitting in a chair in the corner. Her head seemed to be filled with thoughts because she was looking at the sealing like it was the most interesting thing she's ever seen.

Them she looked at Hermione shamefully. "I thought we should tell them I just didn't know how, so it just came out." Hermione nodded in exception. She once again thought what it would be like with out her and how they would coupe. Then suddenly she thought of how it would be for Draco. Ron was the last thing on her mind. He had tried for so long, just not enough and Hermione got tired of waiting so it seemed to go away.

"OK I have gathered you here to share the news." She took a deep breath. Hermione felt her head spin. "Miss. Grancher is fatally ill. She has only been given a week to set aside her affairs and say her good-byes." She hugged Hermione than turned and exited to common room.

When all the hugs and I'm sorry's, and good-bye's where done with she went Harry and Ron. Harry kissed her on the forehead trying to be brotherly. Ron was holding her hand; she was hesitant at his couch. He kept kissing her neck; every time he did she shut her eyes as tight as she could.
