Ron looked at Hermione.

"What do you mean, 'What are you doing here?' I sleep here."

"Where's your bed?"

"I only have the one. This one. I don't even have a couch. Sorry, this is it."

"Oh."

Ron got in under the covers and switched his light off. Hermione and Ron sat in utmost silence in the bed.

Hermione wriggled closer to him, seeing what she felt. She felt a pang of hate and not wanting Ron.

Picking up what she wanted, he snuggled up to her and put his arm over her stomach. The young woman turned over, and could feel Ron's breath on her lips, him feeling a similar thing. She managed to find his lips and they locked, collecting the lost love, well, for Ron anyway. She pulled herself into him and their legs were pulled together, and the top of Ron stripped away. They were desperately trying, but it wasn't right. She couldn't as she just hated him too much.

She turned over again, and faced the end of the bed.

"Sorry Ron. I can't. It's been too long." Ron rolled over to Hermione so that she had nowhere to go.

"Look, 'Mione, it'll be hard. But I need this. And I know you want it too. Let's give it a try. Please."

Ron's insistent cries were annoying Hermione so she spun over and was immediately embraced by Ron's warm arms. Hermione didn't feel the same way, so she just let Ron cool off. But he knew she wasn't trying. He left Hermione, thinking that she come to him. But she didn't and he eventually fell asleep.

The following morning, Hermione awoke early and tiptoed out the room. She got her clothes and quietly closed the door and decided to go home. She got into the car and drove off. The young girl arrived at her house ten minutes later and let herself in. She crawled into bed, took the phone off the hook, and fell asleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*Some hours later, Hermione woke up and got some breakfast. She found a note under the door. Picking it up, she took it into the kitchen. Unfolding it she recognized the writing as Ron's.

'Dear 'Mione,

How could you break up with me? I might have cheated, I might have not given you enough love, but I thought we could work through these things. I was wrong.

I tried to talk to Harry about not going out but he insisted. I'm afraid it turned out to be a disaster. I don't really want much to do with you and I think that it is over. I need time, space, not you. I'm sorry.

Ron

Hermione was not sorry. She didn't want him any more anyway. Then she remembered Ginny. Putting in a quick call she told her that they didn't have to worry about swapping anymore. Ron had realised it was over. Ginny agreed and told Hermione that she had to go out. Saying their byes, the girls separated and Hermione decided to go to the shops. Her place of refuge.

A/N: Sorry, a fairly short chapter, I couldn't think of stuff to write. It will lead to more important things, I promise. The other decision I have made is you will read very limited info on Ron. He's to boring. Hope you're enjoying it so far.

Cuppy!

P.S. Thank you to my so-far 3 reviewers! You are three terrific people! (

Sorry to anyone that has trouble with the paragraphing. I have trouble fixing this but I shall do my best to fix it. By the way, in chapters 11 and 12 - ish there will be a bit of 'turn on the heat'. I have pre-written part of this story so if you don't like all the bits where, in simple terms, Hermione and Draco 'make babies' then I guess you shouldn't read those chapters. I will warn you though when we get closer to those chapters.

Again, thanks to my reviewers and sorry about the paragraphing problem!
