Hermione woke up in her bed at the Burrow and walked down the stairs to hear whispers from the living room. She heard Ron and someone else she couldn't place. "I'm trying! I got it back in motion but this plan may take sometime!" Ron said.

"Well don't take too long. We need to get this moving along and then you can have your prize." she heard the mystery person say.

"Okay. I'll try to make it happen within the next couple of weeks but no promises." and with that Ron walked into the kitchen not even realizing Hermione was standing on the stairs. 'I wonder what that was about. And who was that? I've never heard that voice before..' she shrugged thinking she would talk to him or Harry later about it. She walked into the kitchen with a smile on her face. She saw Ron sitting at the table piling food onto his plate like it was the last meal he would ever eat. She frowned at his awful eating habbits and sat down next to him. He looked over and smiled at her with food in his mouth. She smiled back, or at least thought she did. It turned out more like a grimace. Ron gave her a funny look but turned back to his food. Hermione began to eat when Charlie walked into the room, she turned and smiled at him and he smiled back before sitting across from her and picking up a conversation about the dragons at the reserve. Ron noticed they were laughing and smiling at each other and he saw red. He put his arm around Hermione and said, "Hey love. Do you want to go down to the lake with me?" she looked over at him and nodded her head before giving him a small smile. she turned her head back around and looked at Charlie. She saw the small frown he sent to his younger brother before wiping any emotion from his face and putting on a smile for Hermione. When they finished eating Ron grabbed Hermiones hand and they made their way to the lake by the Burrow.

"What's wrong Ron? You were quiet all breakfast." Hermione said, worried about her boyfriend. She looked into his green eyes, once filled with happiness and love but now they seemed darker and told the troubles he has been through. His once warm eyes were now icy and hard.

"Nothings wrong babe. I just have a lot to do this next couple of weeks for work and all." He said but he avoided eye contact. 'I wonder if this is about what I heard this morning?' she wondered to herself. She decided now would be a good time to ask what it was about.

"Ron." he looked at her and she continued, "This morning as I was coming down the stairs I heard you talking to someone through the floo. What was that about what is this plan you have to finish? And what's the prize?" she asked and then looked down as she noticed his eyes getting colder and colder as she asked the questions.

"You always were nosy. Merlin Hermione why were you listening in on my conversation? Huh? Why do you always have to stick your nose in other peoples business? It isn't your busines or Harry's or anyone else's! You will know what it is when the time is right okay?" he asked in a deadly quiet voice which scared Hermione even more than when he almost hit her.

"Don't talk to me like I'm five Ronald. I think it is my business seems how I'm your girlfriend! You don't ever tell me anything! I might be able to help you! I mean honestly I've been in a war! I'm mostly the brains of this trio. You don't think I could even help out a little bit?" she asked with tears shining in her honey brown eyes.

"You wouldn't understand! None of you would! This is for me! I'm doing this for me!"

"You always were the selfish one of this group Ronald! I mean come on, you left us on the hunt because Harry and I started a relationship, which by the way didn't even last a week! Your always jealous of everything and you can't stand someone to be better than you! God Ron! Grow up and tell me when you do because until then I'm leaving.. I'll be at a friends and wheny our ready to talk to me about things then you can owl me and I'll come back." with that she turned ion the spot and apparated to her room at the Burrow. "Gin, I'm going to stay at Harrys for a little while till your brother can learn to grow up. Tell Harry but don't tell Ron okay?" Ginny nodded and gave Hermione a hug as she packed some of her things. Right before she was about to apparate Charlie came in the room.

"Mia?" he asked. She looked at him and then Ginny. Ginny got the hint and walked out of the room closing the door behind her. Hermione put a locking and silencing charm on the door.

"Char, I'm leaving for a little while. I'm only going to be at Harrys but I pretty much told Ron we're done or on a break until he can grow up. You can stop by whenever as long as Harry doesn't care. Please don't tell Ronald where I'm at." she finished as she stepped closer and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Mia, you don't have to do this. This is your home and you shouldn't be ran out of it."

"Charlie. I need to be away from him for awhile to get myself straightened out okay?" Charlie nodded and held her flush against his body.

"I understand Mia. I hope you know I will be coming over okay?" she nodded and pulled back from the hug. She took her hand and placed it on his cheek.

"Goodbye Char. I'll see you soon. Promise." she said and stepped away from him to her trunk. She felt a hand on her wrist and she was pulled back into his arms. Before she knew what was happening his lips were on hers in a passion filled kiss. Every nerve ending was on fire in her body. She kissed him back and heard him moan. He pulled back with lust filled eyes. "Charlie?" she asked.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that. But everytime something or someone always stops me. I'm sorry Mia, but I couldn't stop myself and with you leaving.. I had to. I'm sorry." he said and cast his gaze upon the floor. Hermione lifted his chin up and kissed him one last time. It was just a quick peck but it was enough to tell Charlie what he needed to know. She turned back to her trunk and looked at his saphire eyes. She waved and apparated out of the room. She didn't hear when Charlie softly said "I love you Mia."
