"Right, and what part of your life do you have trouble coping with?" Lisle asked.

"Everything." Harry cried. "It's so hard. I grew up with no parents, but with awful muggle relations. There was Voldemort, trying to kill me and other people. And there were all those deaths! I'm only 23…" Harry started to cry violently. Lisle walked over and sat next to him.

"Hey, it's okay."

Hermione walked downstairs to have some breakfast. As she was on the stairs she could see Ron and Sylvia on their couch, hugging and kissing. Hermione ran upstairs, crying her eyes out.

"I also really miss my partner, Hermione." Harry said.

"And why did she leave you?" Lisle asked.

"God, I told you!" Harry shouted, then realised what he was doing. "Because I couldn't cope with my life and I couldn't control my temper." He added quietly.

"Alright. So what part of your life do you want to fix right now?" Lisle was asking a lot of questions.

"Um… I want Hermione to come and live with me again. But I know she won't 'cause she hates me." Harry said, bursting into tears. He had kept them in for so long, that now there were so many to shed. "I'm sorry." He sobbed.

"Hey, it's okay. It's a great achievement when you start crying. Now, I'm sure she doesn't hate you. She probably just couldn't cope with you losing your temper all the time." Lisle said.

"Maybe."

"Why don't you write a letter to her, explaining how you feel and why you had been getting angry. Tell her that you will stop taking it out on her. Because, Harry, it's good to let the emotions out, but not to take it out on someone. So, will you write that letter to her?"

"Yes."

It had been ages since Hermione had heard from Harry. Even though he had physically and emotionally abused her, she still loved him. Hermione sighed and threw herself down on her bed. It was so nice of Ron and Sylvia to let her stay, after all she'd been going through. Hermione heard a noise. It was Hedwig, with a letter. Hermione took the letter, mumbled a 'thanks' and started to read.
