Summary-

"Would anyone like to explain to me what is going on?!" Mr. Weasley yelled. Ginny and George came downstairs. Mrs. Weasley turned in their direction, she forced a smile. "Oh darlings, there is nothing to worry about. Ron and them just broke a few things, everyone's alright. Go back to sleep."

But Ginny and George were not stupid. They simply looked over her shoulder and saw the living room was totaled. Ginny's hand immediately flew to her mouth, George laughed. "This is brilliant!" He said cheerfully.

Harry was in his and Ron's room, packing. Ron was furious at him for nothing. He looked at his trunk sadly. It wasn't exactly like Mrs. Weasley told him to go, but she did loose her usual happy disposition. It would be easier for everyone, especially Ron. Harry sighed, pushing his glasses higher. He looked around the room letting everything sink in.

A soft knock at the door broke his thoughts in half, the door opened slightly and Hermione poked her head through the crack.

"Oh, sorry, Harry. Thought Ron was in here. Have you seen … What!" Hermione shouted entering the room and shutting the door behind her, "You're leaving?" She said incredulously.

Harry sat his bag back on the ground, "Yeah…"

"Harry! Were you just going to leave without a goodbye?"

Harry scratched his neck trying to think of some sort of excuse. His gaze fell to his shoes and then back to Hermione. "I didn't want to make it any harder..." He said softly.

Hermione's eyed welled up with tears. "It's because of him isn't it?" She whispered weakly.

"Not necessarily. Hermione, please don't cry. I think he just needs some air, space, you know. I'll give it some time…"

"Stupid Ron" Hermione rolled her brown eyes, "He always jumps to the wrong conclusion on everything! It's like he has no faith in me!"

"He does"- "No trust…" she sighed and sat beside him on the foot of the bed. Her face was hidden by her thick, brown locks. She looked at her feet, unable to meet his eye because she didn't want to believe he was really leaving. "Where will you go, Harry?" Her voice was so fragile and weak, Harry almost hugged her, but seeing she was Ron's girlfriend and he has Ginny.

"Grimmauld Place most likely."

She sighed, "We haven't been there in ages." Stood and walked towards the door and stopped suddenly. "Harry."

"Hmm?"

"Don't leave without me. I'm just going to tell Ron something…"

"Hermione... What do you mean don't leave without you?"

She turned; catching his gaze, the determined gleam in her eye told it all. "Harry. I didn't leave you when Ron left us that time, and I won't now. Ron doesn't need me. Do you think I'm going to let you sit there all alone? Anyway, I was going to meet up with my mum and dad sometime soon. Once you get settled in I think I'm going to go visit them…"

"Hermione…" Harry said, but she had already left the room. So much for trying to keep it secret… He thought to himself. He needed to talk to Ginny, to at least tell her…

With Ron and Hermione

Hermione had found Ron in the kitchen; Mrs. Weasley and Ginny quickly excused themselves as she entered the room. Hermione smiled faintly as they left. She knew what she had to do. She sat next to him, sighing uncertainly. She didn't want to hurt him, but he had hurt her. Intentional or not, it was his own selfishness that caused this. If he would just open his eyes and see… Maybe things would be different. It wasn't his entire fault that their relationship was ending. Maybe she shouldn't have bought Harry that book, but everything else was completely coincidental.

"Ron."

He looked up, his blue eyes seemed distant.

"I'm so sorry. I thought this could work." This caught Ron's full attention. He straightened and looked Hermione full in the eyes.

"Hermione…"

"Ron please… I'm not saying its forever. Just for a little while. We need some space. Obviously."

"Don't…"

Hermione closed her eyes, his voice was so pleading, desperation. "This isn't going to get us anywhere. I should be focusing on my job. And… I'm going..." Great what am I supposed to say? I'm going with Harry to Grimmauld Place, don't worry it's only for a little while. Hermione brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. He's going to hate me. But Harry needs me. I can't let him just be there all alone…

"Where are you going?"

"Well… Harry needs..."

"Figures" he mumbled. He folded his arms across his chest.

"Ron, please don't do this… I don' t love Harry. He's leaving Ron. He's leaving because of you! I can't just let him be alone! He's my friend, Ron. Anyways, I'm just staying there until he gets settled in then I'm visiting my mum and dad."

"Sure." His voice was sarcastic. Tears were already forming in her eyes.

"So this is goodbye then?" She said quietly.

He "humphed" and leaned back in his chair.

"If your wondering why, this is exactly why, Ron." Hermione sternly said, her tears were streaming down her face.

A soft knock at the door, and Ginny came in quietly.

"Hey" she said cheerfully, sitting next to him on his bed.

He smiled weakly, unsure of how he should approach his new news. "Hey."

She stiffened and met his gaze, laying a gentle hand on his own, "Harry what's wrong?"

He sighed, no use denying the news. "I'm leaving."

"W-What?" she whimpered, looking defeated.

"I'm sorry." He said watching her red hair fall in front of her face. He immediately hugged her, pulling her chin up so they could be eyelevel. "I love you, don't forget that."

She nodded, tears trickling down her cheeks, falling on his hand. He tightened the embrace. "I need to get a job and everything. Things will get better after that, I promise. Alright?"

She answered by sobbing into his shirt. "You'll be all alone." She said in between breaths.

"No. Hermione will be there, just for a while. She's set her mind to it. And you're welcome there anytime."

"Grimmauld place?" She whispered, she stiffened at the mention of Hermione's staying with him.

"Yeah. I'm sorry, Ginny."

She laughed, wiping her eyes. "Why should you be sorry, if it wasn't for Ron's stupidity… Things will be much different."

"That may be… But maybe this is the push I need to finally get a job, you know?"

"I don't know, Harry." She said quietly, laying her head on his shoulder.

At that moment, Harry wanted to freeze time and just lie there forever in her arms, breathing in her scent. "I'm going to miss you so much" She whispered in his ear.

"I love you." Harry pulled her back and kissed her full on the lips. "I am too." He hugged her again. I love you so much, Ginny.

Hermione met Harry as he was walking down the hall way. "I'm almost ready. Let me just go get my bag." Harry eyed her puffy eyes, Ron again… He thought in disapproval. "Alright. I'm just going to say goodbye to Ginny." She nodded, "Of course." She said walking to her room.

She wiped her eyes for the millionth time, trying to get the evidence away. Why is he so stupid? Why does he always act like this! She pulled the bag strap higher onto her shoulder. This was it. The beginning of the end. For now on things will be different.

Harry entered her room, "Ready?"

"Yeah…"

"You don't have to do this… You can stay here… It might-"

"I'm going." She said quickly.

He eyed her apprehensively, "Ok. Do you wanna say goodbye?"

"No. Err… I mean I already did… before" She said avoiding his gaze.

"Ok… let's go then." Harry apparated. Hermione looked around the home she was so accustomed to. With a snap of her fingers, she apparated to Grimmauld Place.
