Chapter Two
Hermione finally gave up the good fight, she could no longer hold everything in that she has been building up for the past few years. Standing up with the help of Charlie Weasley, she looks right at Ron and let's it all go "That is it Ron, I can't take anymore of this bullshit. You treated me like shit in the beginning of our first year and it was only after I saved your arse from that troll that you started being friends with me. Lets skip to our third year, I finally get a wonderful familiar and you accuse it of killing your pet rat that turned out to be the real traitor to the Potters. Then in fourth year when it came to Harry's name being put in the Goblet of Fire, you thought he found a way to get around the age limit; you used me to send messages to Harry. When we found out that there was going to be a ball, I waited for you to ask me but instead Krum asked me; I finally felt like a real girl and not your stupid sidekick. You treated me like shit at the dance and said I was fraternizing with the enemy, you made me cry that night.
"Skip to last year, the only reason you made it on the quidditch team was because I messed with Cormac's broom and how do I get repaid, I watch you kiss Lavender Brown in the middle of the common room after winning your first match. Now let's talk about this year, I used a spell to wipe my parent's memories so I could go Horcrux hunting with you and Harry. I put up with living in a fucking tent, why because I had my two best friends with me. Then you fucking leave us because you think there is something going on between me and Harry, you leave us when we needed you the most. I cried my heart out after you left us, I was so miserable and it was all your fault. This is why I want to fucking leave, this is why I won't marry you; what's to say that your not going to cheat on me once you get bored of me. I am leaving after we burry everyone and I am not coming back for any reason, I am sorry Molly I just can't be here anymore." Hermione said right before she slaps him.
Harry walked in right as she smacked Ron across the face, he could tell that she had broken down and poured her heart out. He quickly ran and grabbed her before she or Ron could say anything that they might come to regret later on, they had been friends far to long for it to come apart now. So he just took her and walked her back to their former common room, that way she could calm down. Once there she told him everything she had said to Ron and Molly, he told her that Molly would forgive her and as for Ron well that one would take a while. That sat there through the night talking about their time on the run and finally fell asleep around three in the morning. Hermione would have slept later if it wasn't for the annoying owl trying to get her attention but once Hermione realized it was a letter from Spencer she forgave the owl.
Mia,
I got the job, your now talking to Dr. Spencer Reid of the BAU. I start Monday, I am not sure if I will be in town when you arrive as most of these cases take us out of town. But I promise you that upon my return I will take you out and show you around Quantico and Washington D.C. I am sorry that your friend Ron was such a jerk to you and I really hate being right. What about your other friend Harry, how does he feel about you leaving? I know that you consider him a brother, I know I would be upset if the girl I considered a sister was leaving. Anyways let me know when your flight leaves and I will try to be there to pick you up at the airport.
Love
Spence
Hermione sat there smiling, she was so happy for her friend and that got her wondering if she should try her luck. So she sat down and wrote to him.
Spence,
I know you hated being right about this and that's why I am glad your my friend. As for Harry, well it's complicated; you see he asked the love of his young life to marry him but she said no. So he wants to leave as well, when he heard I was going to America; he asked if he could come as well. Your right about him being the closest thing to a brother I have, I don't want him alone for fear he might go after the ones who targeted us. But on the other hand I really want to come to where you are, do you think he could come as well? It would be only for a little while until he turned 18 and was able to get his own place. He will be turning 18 in July, so it really won't be all that long. Maybe I can get him in the FBI academy, it's your version of an Auror and I think he would love it. I plan on leaving sooner than I thought, in fact I will be leaving as soon as I can get all my money transferred to American Branch of our wizarding bank. So give me a week and I will be there, maybe with Harry in tow.
Love Mia
She sent the letter off quickly with the same owl that had brought her Spence's letter. She then went upstairs to what was supposed to be her dorm room this past year and took a long overdue hot shower. As she got out and sat on a bed, Parvati Patil came over crying; Hermione knew that she had just lost her best friend Lavender to Greyback. So they sat there crying over the ones that were lost, then Parvati noticed that Hermione was getting dressed in the same clothes that she had worn during the battle. So she quickly rummaged through Lavender's stuff and found a outfit that she knew would fit Hermione.
So Hermione threw on the clothes and burned the ones she had been wearing for days. Looking at herself in the mirror she knew that she was going to have to change everything about her before she left for America. So she made a mental note on seeing a stylist before leaving, as she finally made her way downstairs she noticed Harry standing at the bottom of the staircase waiting for her. "He wrote me Hermione, you friend actually wrote me and extended a personal invitation to come stay with you both in America. Now all I have to do is put things in Teddy's name and then I can leave with you, can you believe it?" Harry said sounding happy.
Hermione just smiled, Spencer never ceased to amaze her in all the years that she knew him. She remembered when she first told Spencer about being a witch, he just laughed and said that he always knew that there was something magical about her. When she told him about the Troll, he just said not to go back to that bathroom and to watch out for more; then when she told him about the students being attacked the next year, she told her to be careful and not to do anything stupid. He was upset when he found out she had fallen victim to a giant snake, he said that her teachers where lucky he lived in America otherwise they would be in big trouble. Over the years whenever something big happened in her life, he was always understanding.
When she told him of her crush on Harry's godfather, he just laughed and said that he didn't deserve her. She remembered when she told Spencer about the whole Ron thing, all he said is that Ron was immature and that she would one day wake up and realize that the one she was meant for would be staring her right in the face. Now that she thought of that and what Harry had said earlier it finally dawned on her that Spencer had fallen in love with her through their letters. It was Harry that brought her out of her thought's "Hermione are you okay? You spaced out there for a few minutes, so when do we leave?" he said.
Hermione just smiled "I am glad your going with me, I always knew that Spencer had a good heart but to let someone he didn't even know into his home because of me just makes me happy. I say let's go to Diagon Alley and talk to the Goblins about setting up a American Muggle account for us and then go shopping for our trip. I want to do something drastic to my looks before heading to Spencer, it's about time I changed the way I look and act. Well to a point, I can't change the fact that I am a know it all but I can change the way people look at me; for once in my life I want to have a guy flirt with me and not ignore me. I want to be the girl every guy wants to date and not the girl every guy comes to for help with their homework." she said.
Harry just nodded his head, "I have a feeling that won't be a problem with Spencer, if my caculation's are correct he will be tripping over his feet trying to ask you out. Hermione, I love you like a sister and I only have the best intention's in mind when I say that I am glad you didn't accept Ron's marriage proposal. He would have never treated you the way you deserve to be treated, he walked all over you in school and saw you as nothing more as a walking brain. And the first time a guy actually likes you for who you are on the inside as well as the outside, he get jealous and throws a huge fit. Let's get going before Ron tries to stop us from leaving, I say we go the Headmaster's office and see if we can't use the floo to get to the Leaky Cauldron. From there we can get to Diagon Alley to talk to the Goblins, we can withdraw some muggle money to go shopping in muggle London and to get our plane tickets." he said as he took Hermione by the hand.
