Prologue:  Hermione and Ron have gotten married and had a child, Candice Weasley…Candy for short.  But their marriage hasn't been exactly heaven for either of them.  They have been fighting ever since Candy has been born, and have been exposing their daughter to their constant fighting.  When Hermione takes Candy and leaves, and Ron starts his new life with school sweetheart Lavender Brown, will Candy ever remember life with both parents?

"If you would only listen, Hermione!  Listen to reason!"

            "I've had enough of your reason!  To hell with all of your bloody reason!"

            An argument heard many times by her young ears, Candice Weasley sat crouched outside of her parents' bedroom door, listening closely.  She had been woken by the sounds of their screaming, and had to see for herself what all the screaming was about.

            "You're being ridiculous!  Can't you see that?"

            "I'm being ridiculous?  I'M BEING REDICULOUS??!"

            "Yes, you're obviously overreacting."

            "I wouldn't exactly call this overreacting!"

            The shouts of her parents' voices stung at her ears.  She knew little of what they were bickering about this time, only the fact that they were bickering.  She absolutely hated when her parents fought.

            "Please, Hermione, keep your voice down.  Candy is…"

            "I know damn well where she is Ron, and I also know that…by tomorrow, neither of us will be here."

            There was a pause, a silence that rang so loudly in the three-year-old's years it throbbed.  Candy pulled her legs closer to her chest and kept her breathing soft, not wanting to miss one word.

            "Hermione, don't do this."

            "We're leaving tomorrow."

            "Don't take my daughter away from me, Herm.  Please don't."

            "She deserves a better father than you!"

            "Hermione, I'm sorry.  Please, don't take her away from me!"

            "It's too late for sorry's now, Ronald!" her mother's voice exploded.  "You should of thought about that before you slept with Lavender!"

            "For the last time, I didn't sleep with…"

            "NO!" her mother screamed.  "Tomorrow.  Tomorrow, we leave.  Then you can start your new life with Miss Brown."
