The Big Three Chapter 3- It Happened to Hermione
Last time: Parvati looked at him amused and said, "You mean you didn't hear." Harry and Ron both shook their heads and Parvati started. "It's very sad really. It happened three years ago right after she got married."
"The wedding was beautiful." Started Parvati. "I made the wedding robes especially for her, she looked beautiful. There were flowers everywhere and a little fairy garden. All the bridesmaids looked nice, I designed their robes too. Everything was so perfect. I felt so happy for her. After the wedding, everyone went to the reception and had a good time. Everything just seemed so perfect." She finished with a sigh.
"So what happened?" Ron inquired.
Parvati began again. "Well it was sometime that same evening stuff started happening. Death Eaters were out in the streets just causing all kinds of problems. They seemed to be celebrating something. Word quickly spread that they had captured an Auror. Just as the ministry was about to respond, Hermione appeared in front of the group with Draco Malfoy behind her hexed beyond recognition. No one's really sure how he did it but Draco had been pretending to be Hermione's fiancé, who he later admitted to killing. It took a week for Draco to recover from the coma like state he was in from all her hexes." Ron and Harry shared looks of disbelief. "Hermione must have been devastated but she didn't show it. The ministry told her to take as much time off as she needed to recover but she refused. She started working again the next day."
The three of them just sat in silence staring toward the front at Hermione for a little while.
"She's been working harder than ever since then. She rarely ever even takes breaks and she doesn't work well with partners. She says they're too much risk. Has to be because of what happened to poor Antoine. Its just so sad to see her like that when she used to be so happy." Parvati finished what she was saying with tears in her eyes. Harry gave her a hug as she began to cry softly. Ron just stared toward the front. He looked back at Harry and then forward and saw Hermione get up to leave.
"Hey, I'll be right back." Ron told Harry and Parvati. He pushed through the crowds trying to get to the front and catch up with Hermione before she left. Ron reached the front of the bar and then ran outside but she was already gone. He looked frantically around for her and even walked down the street but didn't see her at all. He walked back to the Three Broomsticks and back to his table with Harry and Parvati. When he returned Parvati was all smiles again.
"Ron, I was just telling Harry that the two of you are more than welcome to stay with me and Padma, we have plenty of room."
"Thanks anyway, but I think I'm going to stay with my parents and catch up." Ron replied. Harry apologized to Parvati, remembering that he and Ron had planed to stay with his parents for a while. Harry and Parvati talked a little more but Ron stayed deep in thought until they had left. He could only imagine how horrible things must have been for Hermione. He felt guilty thinking that if she had just stayed at the same academy with him and Harry none of this would have happened to her. That thought plagued him for the rest of the afternoon.
It was early evening when Harry and Ron arrived at the Weasley's home. Mrs. Weasley had been more than overwhelmed to see them. She had tears in her eyes the minute she saw them and then hugged them like they were still little boys.
"Of course I missed you mum. Yes I'm sorry for not owl posting more often." Harry heard Ron muttering underneath his mother's massive hug.
"How long are the two of you going to be here this time." Mr. Weasley asked Harry.
"I'm not real sure." Harry told him. We're awaiting a new assignment and I heard something about a partner change."
"They can't split you two up." Mrs. Weasley cried out. "It just wouldn't be right, you need each other." She started to tear up again.
"It's alright Mollie, they'll be fine." Mr. Weasley said trying to comfort his wife. Mrs. Weasley rushed over to her husband and began to cry harder. Harry stared on in amusement. "She didn't get this emotional until after everyone left the house." Mr. Weasley told them. "She worries about the two of you all the time. Every time she read about you in the papers she complained that you were doing too much. Well until she started reading about Hermione that is. That girl sure is something else." He looked up grinning. "I used to hear about you two all the time and what you've been doing, but now, now it's all about Hermione.
"Oh, how is she doing?" Mrs. Weasley asked them. "You must have heard what happened to her, isn't it just awful." Both of them nodded their heads glumly.
"The ministry thinks she should slow down. They are afraid that she will over do herself." Mr. Weasley told them. "She just refuses to stop. They forced her to take a break this time. It's been the first one since.the incident. She's asked to take a very risky job this time and everyone's told her she can't do it without a partner. She says a partner will get in her way or be an obligation." He shook his head slowly. "Its sad to see what's become of her. She was so happy at her wedding. But I wouldn't put anything past a Malfoy. Only one of them would pull a stunt like that."
"You went to the wedding?" Ron asked.
"Of course we did." His mother informed him. "She came by and personally invited us." The four of them continued to talk until late in the evening. The Weasley's told the boys everything that had happened since they'd been gone. When at last it was very late everyone decided to retire to bed. Ron reached his old room and felt very tired but when he got into bed he couldn't sleep. He thought about so much, his head was spinning and all his thoughts went back to Hermione.
A/N: Sorry it took so long for another update I've just been extremely busy. I hope I didn't disappoint any one with this chapter but I just wanted to hurry and finish it up to post it. The next chapter should be up soon. It will have lots of detail (I'm gonna make some action show up soon) and it will be mainly about Ron. Its gonna be called "Thoughtful". Wonder if you can guess why? Hasta Luego! Peace!
