"Hermione, I need to talk to you." Said Ron Weasley. Hermione had just arrive at her apartment's door where Ron had been waiting for hours now.

"If it's about Harry, forget about it." Was Hermione's replied. She opened the door to the apartment she shares with Lavender Brown. Hermione walked in and Ron followed.

"Hermione, listen to me!" Ron pleaded grabbing Hermione's arm. Hermione turned around and gaze into Ron's eyes.

"Let go of me!" Hermione tried to struggle free but since Ron was taller and more muscular, she couldn't.

"Not until you listen. Harry loves you very much."

"Loves me? If he loves me so much, he wouldn't have done what he did." Screamed Hermione.

"What is going on here?!? Ron?!? Let go of Hermione!" Lavender Brown, who appeared at the door. She took her wand out of her pocket and pointed it at Ron.

"Try one false move, Weasley and your smithereens." Lavender threatened. If it weren't such a depressing day, Ron would have snorted.

"Go away, Lavender." said Ron calmly, still clutching Hermione's arm.

"Let go of Hermione, you bastard!" yelled Lavender, still pointing her wand at Ron. She muttered a spell under her breath. Then Ron started floating, still holding Hermione's arm.

"Lavender! What the hell do you think your doing?!?" screeched Hermione.

"I'm saving you from the bastard!" shouted Lavender.

"Expelliarmus!" Ron shouted. Lavender's wand flew out of her hand. Ron caught them with one hand.

"That's it! HELP!!!! HELP!!!!! HELP!!!!!!" Lavender shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Let me go Ron!" Hermione shouted. Ron did as he was told, Hermione fell and landed on the couch. Hermione immediately ran to Lavender and slap her.

"Ouch!" said Lavender, rubbing her right cheek. "What was that for?!" she demanded.

"For complete stupidity!" Then Hermione took out her wand and muttered a spell under her breath. Ron came falling down.

"I was just trying to help you!"

"Well you didn't!" said Hermione, helping Ron up.

"Get out of here, Lavender! NOW!" roared Ron.

"Okay, okay. Don't have a cow!" with that Lavender went out the door and apparated out.

"Honestly, you should have picked Cho for your roommate!" Ron exclaimed.

"Fine, I'll listen to you. Let's sit down and talk this calmly and rationally." said Hermione, sitting down. Ron sat down too.

"Harry said that he loves you more than life itself." Ron paused expecting Hermione to blow up. When she didn't, he continued. "He said that he did what he did, to protect you and him. Because he wants you and him to live happily ever after someday. Because he loves you so much that he'll rather suffer a thousands deaths than seeing you at the hands of Vol- I mean You-Know-Who-"

"What about Voldermort?" Hermione interrupted. Although Ron flinched a little, he let it pass.

"I don't know if I should tell you..." replied Ron.

"I understand. Continue."

"He also said that he won't ruin what you and I share right now-"

"Good." Said Hermione airily.

"Hermione, look at me in the eye and tell me that you don't love Harry anymore."

"He does not deserve my love." Said Hermione, crossing her arms.

"But you still love him, don't you?" Ron said quietly. Hermione got up.

"Harry Potter is nothing but a liar." Hermione shouted.

"Hermione, don't make the same mistake I did, a few years ago."

"What mistake?" Asked Hermione, curiously.
"I had too much pride. I knew I like you but I was too scared to admit it." Ron replied quietly.

"It's not about pride." Replied Hermione coldly.

"Yes it is."

"I just wanted to give you a chance, you know. I just wanted to give myself a chance to forget about him." Hermione choked back the tears.

"You did give me a chance, Hermione. I'm doing this because I think- I know that you and Harry deserve each other." Ron reasoned. " I'm doing this because I love you guys both and want you guys to be truly happy." Hermione hugged Ron then they shared a kiss. There weren't any fireworks.

"Alright, I'll give him a chance." said Hermione.

"Don't give him a chance. Love him. Express what you truly feel." With those words, Ron left leaving Hermione dizzy and confuse.

"Harry! You listen to me, I am your guardian and all I want is your safety."

"Hermione hates me now." Harry replied miserably. But Sirius ignored him.

"It was very dangerous of you to expose yourself outside, without us, no less." Sirius Black shouted.

"Calm down, Sirius. Harry is merely doing what a normal, in love 18-year-old boy would do. Besides, he's 18 now. We taught him everything we know, I think its time for us to mind our own business." Remus Lupin reasoned.

"Remus, I promised Lily and James their son's safety when they made me Harry's godfather. I already made a mistake by trusting the rat." said Sirius.

"Yes, but I think that Harry needs Hermione right now. Since you.....you know..." Remus trailed off. This is another typical debate over Harry's basic freedom.

'I agree with you....but...." Sirius turned to Harry. "Okay, you guys win. BUT, we'll share the same apartment. You cannot have a job. And every time you go out with someone, we'll come with you."

"Agree" said Lupin but Harry made a face.

"I agree with everything but how would my date feel if I have two chaperones?" complained Harry.

"We'll be invisible." Sirius said.

"So when do we move?" Harry asked.

"How about now?" Sirius said with a mischievous grin on his face.

"Sure."
