Chapter 2 (I forgot to do this in the last chapter, Disclaimer: I don't own any of the harry potter characters)

Harry turned around and faced Ron, they both exchanged puzzled looks. "Hermione, why exactly was I sleeping in the backseat of your car?" Ron questioned, he had obviously realized he wasn't in his bedroom any more.

"I was just about to explain to harry why I had to take you two in the middle of the night" She began to explain while being careful to keep her eyes on the road. "My parents are sending me to stay with my cousin in America for the next three weeks before school starts and when I was talking to them last night on the phone-"

"Wait, why are your parents sending you away Hermione? I thought you guys always used summer vacation to go on your trips to other countries and spend family time together." Ron questioned

"I. . . .ummm don't really want to talk about that right now. Any ways back to what I was saying before, when I was talking to my cousins they said that you-"

"Don't want to talk about what Hermione?" Ron interrupted "Come on you know you can tell me and Harry anything"

"I said I don't want to talk about it Ron!"

"Just tell us Hermione, I mean I think we have a right to know why you kidnapped us in the middle of the night" Ron's voice was growing louder with every word.

"RON!! I said I don't want to talk about it, all right!!" She turned her head to give him and angry stare but she didn't realize that she pulled into the wrong lane.

"Hermione watch out!!" Harry screamed as an oncoming car came speeding towards them. Hermione had to swirve off the road and onto the shoulder to dodge the car. She pulled the key out of ignition and layed her head down on the steering wheel.

"All right fine, I'll tell you" She started without looking up. "My parents..they..they.my parents.they got..."

"Come on Hermione just spit it out" Ron said loudly.

"My parent go a divorce, and they both wanted 'alone time' so I got sent off to stay with my cousins!!" She picked her head up again to give Ron an angry stare but this time her face was covered with wet tears. "There are you happy now Ron, you know!" A look of shock whipped across Ron's face.

"Oh my god Hermione, I'm really sorry." Harry said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah hermione, sorry I yelled at you." Ron said

"its all right ron, you didn't know" She managed to say between sobs

" I mean I didn't want you to cry and all, I just wanted you to know that you can tell me or harry anything, you don't have to be afraid. Well unless you don't want to, but I cant see why you wouldn't want to tell us because we are you best friends and all, and well-" He was cut off by harry giving him a quit-while-your-ahead look.

Hermione gave a faint giggle to their attempts. "Its all right guys, don't worry about it." She started up the car and continued driving. "We'd better hurry, out flight is suppose to leave in an hour and a half and we have at least another hour of driving before we arrive at the airport, so we'd better-"

"Are you sure you're all right Hermione?" Harry asked sympathetically.

"Yeah Harry I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me so much." Then the car went into an awkward silence for about ten minutes.

"Hey Hermione, how did you say we were getting to your cousins place?" Ron asked breaking the silence.

"by airplane ron."

"Airplane?? You mean those big machine things, that fly without using magic..cant we just like use floo powder or something?"

"oh is poor wittle Ronny afraid of the big old airplane?" Hermione teased.

"I'm not afraid, I just think floo power would be quicker and not to mention safer."

"Yeah, but my cousins are muggles, they would probably think it a bit weird if we just showed up in their fire place."

"Yeah Ron, I agree, the plane is probably the best way to get there." Harry stated

"Fine we'll do things your way" Ron layed his head back and fell asleep just as quickly as he had woken up, which left harry and Hermione alone to talk........
