A/N: Hey guys! Back with another chapter! I also wanted to ask if anyone wanted a Beta, 'cause I'm free and, you know, interested :D Anyway…

ON TO THE CHAPTER!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. *sob*

Chapter 10:

It was dark. She didn't know where she was.

Until she realized.

It was the Forest of Dean. Where she and her parents went camping. Where she, Harry and Ron apparated to when they were searching for Horcruxes.

And so she ran. Ran freely into the forest, eyes closed, running from her problems.

'It really is quite an experience, literally running from your problems' she thought, still running until-

*SMACK* (A/N: Oh Yeah, I just HAD to ruin her moment…)

"Ohhhh…" moaned Hermione

'That was an interestingly stupid thing for me to do,' thought Hermione

She sat down on a dry, brown tree stump and took in her surroundings before sighing.

'What are you running from?' she mentally scolded herself, 'You expected this. You knew that they weren't going to accept it right away. Why are you running? You are supposed to be a war heroine. A fighter. Not someone who gives up at the slightest hint of trouble! They'll come around,'

'I should get back. It's getting dark,' she thought

And she disapparated back into the Zabini Manor's living room.

As soon as her feet hit the ground, she was pulled into a great, big, giant bear hug from none other than Blaise Zabini, who was quickly followed by Ginny. Draco stepped up and gave her a long kiss.

"Where were you? We were so worried!" yelled Blaise, effectively ruining the moment.

Typical Blaise…

"I was…thinking."

"WHERE were you thinking?"

"Oh…just…somewhere…" she replied vaguely. "I also realized that there was nothing to be upset about. Ron will come around… I hope."

"Alright. Lets get you into bed. You've had a long day," said Ginny, somewhat resembling Mrs. Weasley when she was around Harry.

When Hermione voiced this as they were climbing up the stairs, Ginny replied with a very mature "I do not," while sticking her tongue out before crossing her arms and pouting like a child.

"Well said Gin, well said. VERY mature," said Hermione dryly

"Oh, I know," said Ginny, walking ahead of her, but not before flipping her hair, imitating a ditzy supermodel.

Hermione just rolled her eyes, laughed and followed her.

A/N: Yeah, I know it's short. Two words: WRITERS BLOCK. Yeah, it does kinda suck… anyway, if anyone wants to take me up on that Beta offer, that'd be great
