Chapter Two- Sweet Goodbye
"Uh.." Ron stumbled, looking surprised at Hermoine's sudden appearance in the doorway of the common room lounge. "What are you doing here?" Ron finally managed to ask, giving her a suspicous look. Hermoine looked startled at the question. "Oh! I uh..uh.." Hermoine didn't finish, she just bit her lip and kept on standing there, frozen. Harry got up and gasped. "Were you spying on us?" he asked, with an outraged look. Hermoine's face turned red and her eyes revealed a guilty posture. "Well, I wouldn't call it that..."
Ron and Harry went out of the lounge and downstairs, leaving Hermoine flabbergasted. "Do you think she thinks..." Ron asked, looking at Harry. Harry with a nervous look shrugged. "I hope not" he said as they went downstairs. Suddenly, they heard shouting.
"You had no right to let that boy cheat out of the test!" said a loud peircing voice of an old man's. Harry put his finger toward his mouth and mouthed the name 'dumbledore.' Suddenly, Fleur's weeping came into veiw. There were a few mutters and mumbles and cries as the conversation got softer and more sorrow.
Suddenly, Fleur came out with her hair stained with sweat and her eyes watered. "Ron...Harry..I didn't know you were here..." Fleur said, blowing her nose on a tissue, trying to fake a smile. Ron and Harry hurried toward her. "Whats wrong?" Ron asked. "What happend?" Harry asked.
Fleur let out sobbing and she stayed like that for a minute, then put herself together. "I've been fired."

Ron and Harry helped Fleur with her bags. Fleur put the baggage and luggage into the big carriage and hugged Harry tightly. She gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek and her tears could be felt on his skin. Fleur waited a long time before going up to Ron. "Vell, I guez thiz vis itz." she said, her red puffy eyes darting toward Ron's sad and heartbroken face. She hugged up for a long time and put her face on his. "Vemember Ron, no vatter vwat, we'll always keep in ve touch...okay fat boy?" she said. Ron nodded and his eyes closed as she kissed him on the lips for a minute and backed away. Ron was standing there, with a surprised expression.
"I..have to go now...Sorry this didn't work out." said Fleur, walking up to the carriage and telling the rider to go ahead and start the horses. Fleur started waving as the horses took off and the wheels in the carriage started making squeaking noises and finally started to move away.
Ron stood there and then suddenly, out of nowhere, he began running. "RON! Where you going!" yelled Harry in a rush as Ron catched up with the carriage. "GO OUT WITH ME!" Ron shouted to Fleur.
Caught completely by surprise, Fleur's driver lurched and the carriage went flying as Fleur's lifeless body lay on the sidewalk, her fingertips dripping with blood.
