Hermione walked to her car and sat in the driver's seat. Where was she to go? She certainly couldn't go to the Burrow. Once the Weasley's had heard what happened, they would hate her forever. That only left Harry and Ginny's place. They would definitely let her in.
She started the engine and drove towards the couple's home. It was raining still, but that wasn't the only thing fogging up her sight. What the hell had happened?
Harry and Ginny moved into Harry's old home in Godric's Hollow. It was comforting for him to stay there. She drove up and knocked on the door. Harry opened the door. He was barely awake.
"Hermione?" Hermione hugged Harry real hard and started to cry on his shoulder. He hugged her back and closed the door. "What's wrong Hermione?"
"Harry, honey, who is it?" a female voice said. Ginny walked out from a room. "Oh, my gosh! Hermione, what happened?"
"It's Ron," she sobbed. They sat on a couch. Hermione told them the entire of the story.
"Oh, Hermione, Ron doesn't mean it. You guys have been through thick and thin together," Ginny said.
"I don't know Ginny. Ron's been talking about this for a long time, I just didn't think he would be a big enough git to do it, Harry said.
"Well, guys, can I stay here for tonight?" Hermione asked. The faucet in her eyes was closed for the time being.
"Of course you can. Stay as long as you like."
"Thanks a bunch," Hermione said. She followed Harry and Ginny to the guest bedroom. They all fell asleep. An hour later, the phone rang.
"Hello?" Harry answered.
"Hey mate." It was Ron. "You'll never believe what happened between me and Hermione."
"I already know, Ron."
"What! How?" Ron was furious.
"She's going to be staying here for a while, Ron."
"WHAT!?! How could you let her stay there after what she did to me? I'm your best friend!"
"Ron, she's my friend too."
"Oh, so you care more about her than me, don't you?" Harry thought Ron was being irrational.
"Ron –"
"Oh, I see how it is Harry. You chose her over me. Fine, then our friendship is over." Ron hung up the phone. Harry went back to bed. Ginny had heard the entire conversation.
I can't believe that prat. How could he do that to 'Mione? Well, I'm going to teach him a lesson. Ginny walked to the fireplace, grabbed a handful of floo powder, and called the Burrow. When she was done talking, everyone in the house was already awake, eating breakfast in the kitchen.
"Who've you been talking to?" Harry asked.
"Oh, just someone who'll put some sense into my dear brother." Harry chuckled. They sat eating breakfast for half an hour until someone interrupted them by way oh floo powder.
"GINNY WEASLEY POTTER! COME OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" Ginny gave Hermione and Harry a look full of fear before she ran to the fireplace in the living room. Although Hermione and Harry couldn't hear what Ginny was saying, there was no doubt that they couldn't hear Mrs. Weasley. She was screaming at the top of her lungs.
"WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOUR BROTHER IN THAT WAY?"
Silence.
"I DON"T CARE WHAT RON DID, LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!"
Silence.
"IT WASN'T HIS FAULT AT ALL. IT WAS HERMIONE'S FAULT." When she heard this, Hermione's eyes started to get watery.
"LOOK WHAT SHE DID TO RON! SHE BROKE HIS HEART!"
For the first time in the entire conversation, they hear a response.
"MOTHER, IT WAS RON WHO WANTED A DIVORCE. RON!!" Ginny said.
"WELL GINNY, SINCE YOU ARE SIDING WITH HERMIONE, THEN YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT EVER BEING A WEASLEY AGAIN."
"FINE"
Ginny stormed back into the kitchen. Harry and Hermione looked up at her.
"I take it that you heard," Ginny said. Harry nodded. "I'm really sorry Hermione."
"It's ok Ginny."
A week had passed and Ron filed for divorce. There agreement was quick and painless. They didn't even have to see each other. Hermione got custody of Eric, their seven-year-old son, while Ron got custody of Erin, their six-year-old daughter. Hermione and Eric stayed at Godric's Hollow for another week, until Hermione rushed into the room.
"I got it! I got it!" Hermione screamed. Ginny looked up from what she was cooking. Harry looked up from reading Quidditch Throughout the Ages with Eric.
"Got what Mom?" Eric asked. Eric stood up and walked over to his mom. Hermione bent down to look face to face with her son.
"I got the job in the Department of Magical Inquiries." She stood up to face the other two adults. "We're going to move to New York."
Ginny ran to hug Hermione and Harry stood up. Eric ran around the kitchen table singing, "We're going to the US. We're going to the US!"
