Love and hate: part 2
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and Sophie.
April 8th. 7th year.
Hermione awoke the next morning, and was happy for those first few seconds before she remembered the reason that her cheeks were tear-stained. She had cried herself to sleep the night before, crying about Ron, how much she loved him and hated him at the same time. He had slept with another girl, just a month after they had done the same. She missed him terribly, but how could she forgive him, or trust him? How could she, now that he had done such a thing? She loved him, but she couldn't just take him back. Not yet. She just needed time to think.
I'm sorry, Ron, but you will have to wait. She whispered as she fell back to sleep.
*********************************************************************
Ron, on the other hand, hadn't gotten a wink of sleep the night before. He had been too wrapped up in what had happened. He needed to talk to Hermione. He needed to beg for her to forgive him, to take him back. He needed to tell him that she was the only one for him, and always would be.
He went downstairs to the Common room that morning to find Hermione sitting by the fire, staring into it. Her eyes were red and puffy, and she wiped her nose with a tissue as he watched. He walked over to her. She looked up at him for a moment, then turned her attention back to the fire, refusing to look at him.
Hermione, please hear me out. You don't know what happened. I don't even know. i can't remember any of it, i swear. There's something wrong with that girl. I don't know what it is, but i gotta find out. I can't risk this happening again. Ron said in a rush. Hermione looked at him.
Once was enough. She said quietly. I don't think I can trust you, Ron. How can you expect me to? After last night? Her voice broke. She started to cry again, sobs escaping her. She stood, turned, and ran off toward the dormitories.

The next two weeks passed without a break in Hermione's anger and sadness. She decided to go home for Easter. Ron was told by his mother to come home for Easter. They had, Harry went with Ron to the Burrow, and Hermione went home.
Ron lasted about two days before he decided he would write Hermione a note to meet him, just to hear him out. He wrote:
Hermione,
Listen, i know you don't want to hear from me right now, but i just need you to hear me out. You don't have to believe me, but now i know the whole story, and I thought you should know what it is. Could you meet me in the Leaky Cauldron at 7:00pm? I really need to talk to you.
Ron
There, that looked okay. He wasn't hinting at anything bad. Well, except that whole thing with Sophie. But Ron hoped to clear that up tonight. He tied the letter the Pig's leg and let him out of the window.
He didn't have long to wait. Pig came back about an hour later. Ron tore the letter off his leg and read it.
Ron,
I will meet you tonight, but unless you have a damn good reason for what happened, i will not believe a word.
Hermione
Well,' Ron thought. At least she's coming'
TBC.......
That's it for now!! Let me know what you think!!!
