The Truth and Lies

A/N Ok, it was gonna be called The Truth and Lies, then I forgot what the lies were, lol, so, I was then gonna call it Why, but THEN I remembered what the lies would be, so, it's gonna be called The Truth and Lies. Here it is!!! And plz review!



"Read, it, then, Hermione!!!!!!" Ginny squealed back.

"I'm going to read it to myself first," Hermione said, looking at the letter, then smiling at Ginny.

"Sure, but hurry up!" Ginny yelled, as Hermione ran to her dormitory. She closed the door, after looking around to see if anyone else was there, and locked it. She ran to her bed, and read the letter.



Dear Hermione,

I'm VERY sorry I haven't written to you! Very busy, with the war all day, can't seem to get a piece of paper and quill as Harry can. You might already know that I'm in the hospital, cause I'm sure Harry told Ginny, and that Ginny told you. If you don't know, I'll tell you, but if you do, I'll keep this short. I was shot in the chest passing an open field. I'm ok, I'm still in the hospital, though. Too bad it wasn't worse, because then I'd be able to come back to Hogwarts. Don't hurt me for saying that; I'm not that desperate to die.

How are you? Everything fine at Hogwarts? Must be pleasant, since Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle are here. This is kind of a surprising thing; they're with the muggles. I bet it's because of Voldemort and stuff. I ran into him the first day Harry and I were here.

FLASHBACK

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry and Ron were setting their bags on their beds. It didn't seem so sturdy, but to make sure they were, Ron jumped on it. Little by little, it started bending, then finally, it broke. Harry laughed his head off, as usual.

"So..you can't sit on a bed without braking it, eh, Weasley?" someone familiar said from the door. Harry and Ron turned around. It was Draco Malfoy.

"Why are YOU here?" Harry asked.

"Same as you; for the war. Only, I'm against you, and with the muggles," Malfoy replied.

"That's something to see," Ron muttered, getting up and got out his wand to fix the bed.

"It's not like I'm all for muggles, but you know my father," Malfoy said, crossing his arms and shaking his head.

"Yeah..we know him. In the inner circle of Voldemort, hard not to," Ron said.

"Better watch it, Weasley, because my dad is so much better at his job than yours is," Malfoy sneered, and Ron leaped forward but before he reached him, Harry grabbed the back of his shirt.

"Get out, Malfoy," Harry said, having a hard time keeping back Ron.

"Whatever. I have to get going, anyways," and with that, Malfoy disapperated.

"Don't let him get to you, Ron. He's just as evil as his father," Harry said, letting Ron go.

"Yeah, yeah," Ron said, and they both left for the main tent.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

What a weird way of meeting him. I can't wait to come back!! I really miss you, very much!!

The letter went on and on about Ron telling Hermione he loved her. Through it all, Hermione smiled, counting the days until they come back.

"Hermione?? You read it yet?" Ginny asked, after knocking on the door.

"Yeah, come in," Hermione said, as Ginny opened the door, and sat next to her.

"Well? What does it say?" Ginny asked, quiet fastly.

"Here, read it, but stop at the part where..well, tell me when you get to here," Hermione said, pointing to the end of the meeting with Malfoy. Ginny read very fast, and was done before no time.

"Why can't I read the rest?" Ginny smiled evily, while slowly handing Hermione the letter back.

"Well, it gets personal," Hermione blushed, but before Ginny could reply, there was tapping on the window. They saw a hawk owl poking at the glass, and Hermione let it in. It flew right to Ginny, dropped the letter, and left. Very confused, she opened the letter, and read it. In the beginning, her face fell, and she looked very mad at the same time.

"What is it, Ginny?" Hermione asked.

"It's nothing.." Ginny said, trying to put it in her pocket, but Hermione held out her hand. Reluctantly, she handed the letter over, and Hermione began to read it.

Ginny,

I'd thought I'd let you know that Ron's cheating on Hermione. I saw him with a girl who's a nurse. She has very thin and straight blonde hair, and she's a pureblood. Wouldn't blame him, would you? If you don't believe me, I have pictures. Just look at the bottom of this letter. Not only is he cheating, he's really getting close to her, if you know what I mean. I've seen them in the bars here, and trust me, it's serious.

Draco Malfoy

Hermione looked at the bottom of the letter and saw two pictures. One of Ron sitting next to a blonde girl, and the other of Ron kissing the blonde girl. Hermione's hands started shaking in anger and in pain. She gave Ginny the letter back, and went to her desk and got out a piece of paper and a pen.

Dear Ron,

Don't pull this bullshit on me. I know you're seeing a girl with blonde hair, aren't you? I have pictures, right here in front of me. If I'm mistaken, but I don't think I am, I'm sorry about this. It's just..it hurts to see these pictures. Write back.

From, Hermione



"Hermione.." Ginny said, looking over Hermione's shoulders at the letter. "It's from Malfoy, remember!"

"Yeah, but there's pictures," Hermione said, and tied the letter to her owl and sent it out the window. "And pictures never lie."

"Well, it doesn't mean that the person who sent them never lies.." Ginny sighed, and went to her desk and started to write a letter. "I need to write to Harry." And she concentrated on the things she was writing to him.



~*~*~

Ron awoke to an owl perched on his head, then it dropped a letter on his face, and flew away. 'What's this?' Ron thought, tearing it open, and seeing it was from Hermione. Ron was surprised considering he sent it not to long ago.

"Hey, Ron!" Harry said, coming in Ron's hospital room before he could read the letter Hermione sent.

"Hey Harry," Ron said.

"What's that?" Harry asked, eyeing the note in Ron's hand.

"It's from Hermione," Ron said. "I still need to read it, though."

"Go on, then!" Harry said, sitting in a chair across from the hospital bed. Ron grinned and began to read. Not before long, Ron's face fell as he reached the end of it. Harry took notice, and walked over to him.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked, and Ron handed him the letter, and he read it.

"I don't understand," Ron said, cracking up on words.

"I bet it was all just a missunderstanding..but you haven't been seeing a blonde headed girl, have you?" Harry asked. Ron grabbed the nearest thing to him, a small book, and threw it at Harry, though he ducked.

"I have NOT been seeing a blonde girl!" Ron said fiercly. "In fact, there isn't even a blonde girl here, let alone at a bar!"

"You're right.. I haven't noticed a blonde at a bar, or have I noticed a bar. So, where do you think Hermione got this from?" Harry asked, handing back the letter.

"I don't know..I just don't know," Ron said, rereading the letter.

"Ah, don't worry, Ron. She can't stay mad at you. Besides, if you tell her you never saw a blonde girl here, she'll believe you. But for now, we need to know who told her these things," Harry said.

"Well, I have no idea," Ron sighed, and got out a piece of paper and wrote back to Hermione.

Dear Hermione,

Where have you heard that from? I NEVER saw a girl with blonde hair here at all, nor a bar. Please believe me on this! I would never, never cheat on you for anyone. You're the one I'll always love! Please, don't be mad at me.

Love, Ron

"Well, I'm sending her this," Ron said, holding the letter up, and tied it to Pig, who was always by him incase he needed to send a letter asap, like now.

"Well, I hope everything works out. I need to be going, Ron, visiting hours are about up," Harry said, looking at his watch. "Later, Ron!"

"Bye, Harry," Ron said, and he left.

As Harry entered their tent, he saw an owl on his bed. 'What's with all the letters?' Harry thought, smiling to himself, and took the letter from the owl, as it flew away.

Dear Harry,

What's going on? It isn't true that Ron's seeing someone else, is it?? I hope not! Hermione seems upset..

I got your letter, of course. I miss you so much! I hope Ron's ok, and you, for sure! So, I've heard you saw Malfoy your first day..have you seen him lately? I don't have much to say, because school's boring and my social life is nothing without you. Hermione's here, at least. Can't wait to see you!

Love, Ginny

Harry smiled and decided to write back tomorrow. It was too late to now. He got in bed and turned off the light.

~*~*~

Hermione sat in bed, tears running down her face. 'Why did Ron do that to me?' she thought. Then an owl dropped a letter on her bed right next to her face. It was from Ron, of course. As she read it, she believed him, and she regreted never believing him. She needed to make it up to Ron, but it'll have to wait when he got back. Hermione quickly wrote him a letter back.

Dear Ron,

I'm Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry I thought that! I should've known you wouldn't do that! I can't believe I took Malfoy's word on it! I'm going to make it up to you when you get back, if you know what I mean. I miss you so much!

Love, Hermione

With that, Hermione sent it to Ron, and fell asleep, knowing he wasn't cheating on her.



But in the war, things weren't going so hot. There was a secret bombing in Harry and Ron's area..
