"Harry, Ron," exclaimed Hermione," it's so good to see you all." She hugged
both of them tightly. Harry and Ron hugged her back.
"It's good to see you, Mione," said Harry. His eyes glistened in the sun.
"Yeah, it's really good to see you," Ron told her. Harry and Ron started up the stairs towards Gringotts but stopped. Hermione wasn't following.
"What's wrong? Are you coming?" Harry asked trying not to sound worried.
"Yeah I'm coming but I need to tell you all something first."
"What?" Harry and Ron replied. Neither one liked the tone in her voice.
"My mom, she has cancer in her brain and there's nothing they can do about it." Hermione's eyes filled with tears. Harry and Ron were so surprised that they forgot where they were.
"What! She can't be dying. What are you going to do?" Harry's words came out so suddenly that it even surprised him.
"I don't know I'm so lost. I'm even more lost than I've been all summer. Everything's changing for the worst." Hermione fought back her tears. This whole time Ron had been quite. Not saying anything, just staring at the ground.
"Come on. Let's get our money. I don't want to talk about it anymore." Hermione looked at Harry and Ron before heading towards the entrance of Gringotts.
Once they got their money they head for the shops to get their school supplies. While doing so nobody talked to each other except for the occasional yes or no. Hermione was in a big hurry and not eager to talk.
"Ron I'm worried about Hermione. Think how much this will affect her. I think she feels like we're ignoring her." Harry looked at Hermione then back at Ron.
"You know Harry, your not the only one worried about her. All this time we have been her friends but somehow this summer we have managed to forget about her. She needs us more than ever now and we've been ignoring her a lot.
"So do you think it's us who's changing or her?" Harry looked at Ron waiting for an answer even though he knew what it was. He just didn't want to believe it.
"Harry you know the answer I know you do. We're changing."
"I know. I just hate to admit it."
"Look at her." Harry and Ron looked at her. A sad expression took over her face. Harry had never seen her look so sad. "She needs us. We're the people she's supposed to lean on but we aren't doing a good job of it."
"Your right but I think she hates us right now."
~*~*~ Hermione's thoughts~*~*~
Why do they ignore me? What did I do to deserve this? They're probably talking about me now. Oh, great Hermione don't cry now. Why don't I just say something? That's what I'm going to do. Say something. Right now. Go for it. You can do it. They're your friends. Remember.
