Chapter 22

The next few days were very weird for both Hermione and Ron, and especially for Ginny and Harry as they were stuck in the middle. Ron tried everything in the book to talk to Hermione, to tell her what really happened. Ron sent Hermione flowers, but she cut them into a million pieces and threw them in his face. Ron sent her candy, but Hermione stomped on them and spit on them and walked away. Ron tried to sing to Hermione, but she put a silencing spell on him and laughed in his face. Ron bought Hermione a teddy bear that walked around and said 'I love you', but Adora tore the bear's head off and gave the teddy bear to Crookshanks to tear up. But nothing was working.

Hermione told Harry that she couldn't go to Harry's house for the Easter Holidays, because Hermione didn't want to see that disgusting cheating pig, in other words...Ron. Hermione was going to spend the Easter holidays with Mum, sister Narcissa, and nephew Draco. Hermione had already owled her mum with the answer and Larissa was ecstatic. So it would only be Ginny, Harry, and Ron at Sirius and Bella's house. Lavender even tried to tell Hermione what really happened, but Hermione bewitched Lavender's hair to turn well…lavender.

"Hermione's just a stubborn little bitch!" Lavender yelled at Ron, "I tried to tell her what really happened and look at my hair!"

"Caught in the act again, again aren't you Weasley?" Hermione had just came down the girl's dormitory stairs. "Just can't get enough of this little whore can't you?"

"No, you little whore! If you'd actually heard what we were talking about YOU'D KNOW! Besides, why would I want…" Lavender made a disgusted face, "Ron when I have Seamus."

"I don't know, you tell me you little whore!" Hermione yelled storming up the stairs once again.

In Potions, Hermione wouldn't even sit with Harry anymore. Not that she wasn't friends with Harry anymore. Harry was after all her other nephew, but that Hermione couldn't stand to hear Ron's pleads. First, because it was just horrible to hear Ron grovel. Second, because Hermione couldn't stand to seem Ron upset anymore. The fact was that Hermione did still truly love Ron, it just hurt to much when Hermione saw Ron with Lavender.

'If Ron was smart enough, which Ron isn't, he'd know all he'd have to do is apologize. Not send gifts, but no this boy was just plain stupid, so we'll never get back together.' Hermione thought to herself almost in tears.

Lately in Potions, Hermione had been sitting next to Draco. As they were all spending Easter at her mum's house, his grandmother.

The night before they left for Easter Holidays, Ron was so tired of pleading with Hermione that he just went upstairs to bed. Harry and Ginny were on a loveseat just talking about different stuff, mostly about how concerned they were about Ron and Hermione.

"Hey, you guys," Hermione said, kind of scared.

"Hermione," Ginny said with an attitude. Even if Hermione was her best friend, Ron was her brother and the way Hermione was treating Ron was totally out of hand.

"Hey Hermione, how are you holding up?" Harry asked her concerned, and Hermione flopped down in an arm chair.

"Miserable, I miss Ron so much. Merlin knows I miss him so much. All Ron really has to do was apologize." Hermione said tears filling up in her eyes, "Where is he anyways?"

"He went to bed," Ginny said rolling her eyes at Hermione and Hermione looked disappointed. "I don't know why your disappointed about. It's your fault Ron isn't not down here. What do you mean that's all that Ron has to do, hell he's been trying to impress you all week!"

"My fault? How's that!"

"He's so sick, tired, and lonely. You keep pushing Ron away. So now he's gone."

Hermione began to weep, and she ran up the stairs crying and up to her dormitory.

Harry turned to Ginny, "Well, that went well. All Hermione wants is for Ron to apologize."

Ginny made a 'humph!' noise.

"Do you think that you could do that?" Harry asked a blank spot next to where Ginny was sitting.

"Yup, I can," said the invisible person that sounded like Ron. It was Ron, sitting next to Ginny in Harry's invisibility cloak.

"How very clever you two are!" Ginny squealed, and she kissed Harry goodnight and went upstairs to go to bed.

Harry and Ron made their way up to their dormitory. They changed into their pajamas, and before they went to sleep Harry turned to Ron, "So you are going to apologize to Hermione tomorrow, right?"

"Of course, and right before we leave. We'll be at Bella and Sirius's and Hermione will be at her mum's house." Ron grinned and they both shut their draperies, and went to sleep to wonder how the next day would turn out for Ron.

But, the next morning Hermione wasn't there.

"Where did she go?" Ron asked Lavender, and Lavender said that she had found a note on Hermione's bed.

"Hermione left about an hour after she ran upstairs last night, and she owled her mum and told her how upset she was. So Hermione wanted to leave early and she did," Ron looked really upset by Lavender's answer.

"Now, I can't apologize. I'll meet you and Ginny on the train," Ron groaned miserably and picked up his bags and headed for the train.

Harry sat down in one of the arm chairs and was waiting on Ginny. Harry only had to wait about five minutes and that was one of the many things Harry loved about Ginny. Ginny was always punctual, and Ginny came down the stairs with her hair in a messy bun, and she blushed.

"Don't look at me, I look awful." Ginny said starting to cover herself from him.

Harry shook his head, and whispered in Hermione's ear, "No, you don't. You look wonderful," They walked out of the Gryffindor Common Room, hand in hand.

"Well if I look wonderful like this, I wonder what you think when I actually dress up?" Ginny said joking and not expecting Harry to respond.

"You take my breath away," Harry said putting his bags down and the bags fell down the hallway. Causing people to stop and look at Ginny while she burst out into hundreds of giggles. "Oh, think it's funny do you?" Ginny asked nodding, "Ticklish Totalus!" Harry performed the tickling charm on her.

"Oh….no….H…H…Harry! Stop…it…n..now! You know…I hate b…being tickled." Ginny giggled.

"Sorry, my dear. But, I'll carry you," In which Harry did.

"Such young love," McGonagall sighed, looking at the young happy couple.

"True, very true." Dumbledore said overlooking them, "But, they've got a long way if the legend is to come true you know?"

Ginny nodded, "I think you're right, Albus. I think they are the chosen ones. They look identical to Lily and James. They have as much love as they did when Lily and James were their age."

Dumbledore nodded, "We just need to keep an eye on them, make sure that their childhood is as normal as it can be. Here soon, it should start to get difficult."

"First, is jealously of other people correct?" McGonagall asked.

"I'm afraid so, and it should start very soon. Then it will be jealous of both parties."

"Oh, my," McGonagall sighed. "Then, the unthinkable."

Back on the way to the train…

"Harry, put me down!" Ginny giggled, "Put me down!"

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR HER! PUT HER DOWN!" Pavarti spat at him.

Harry did so but looked at her oddly, "What's your problem?" Ginny yelled at Pavarti, Weasley hot temper boiling inside of her.

"Love, come on." Harry tried to pull Ginny away, but she refused.

"Just because your dating The-Boy-Who-Freaking-Lived, you forget that you are not up on the social ranks. Remember, you are poor. Little Harry right here, has more money then you could ever dream of." Pavarti spat smirking.

"You stuck up little rich, bitch!" Ginny had had enough she threw a fist in Pavarti's face and gave her a bloody nose.

"Ginny!" Harry yelled finally getting a hold of his girlfriend, "Come on love. Just ignore her. Pavarti is just jealous, because we're happy and she's not." Ginny nodded, and they went off into the different compartments looking for Ron. When they found him, Harry was a mess. It looked like the end of the world had hit.

"Ron!" Ginny gasped, "What's wrong?"

"Hermione just dumped me," Ron said holding up a letter from that had just been delivered to him from Hermione. Ron totally broke down, Ginny patted her big brother's back, and Harry was lost for words.

At the Crane Mansion…

Hermione was in her room, crying her little eyes out. Hermione had never felt so horrible in her entire life, not even when Hermione had found her adopted parents dead. The one person that was always there for her, the only guy she'd ever loved, She'd just now broken up with him. But, it wasn't her fault. Ron had been with that nasty Lavender Brown, and now Hermione's world had been turned upside down. The only other guy she had ever really fancied was way to old for her, and now she wanted to slap herself for whatever unknown reason why Hermione liked him. Lockhart was just…Ek! But, now none of that mattered. Hermione just wept and wept into her pillow.

Draco had just passed Adora, or Hermione's room. The family was calling her Adora, and she wanted it that way. Sooner or later Adora would have to get use to her real name. There was a funny noise coming from her room, as if someone was trying to smother themselves. So Draco knocked on her door…no answer.

"Adora? Are you in there? Can we talk about something?" Draco asked and then began to hear Adora sniffle and Adora blew her nose.

"Come in," Draco heard and he walked in but he was surprised at what he saw Adora looked a mess. Adora's hair wasn't nice and straight like she always charmed it. It was frizzy again, make up all cried off, and she was all splotchy.

"Adora?" Draco still felt a bit weird calling her this, but he proceeded, "What's up?"

Adora broke down entirely and put her head on Draco's shoulder begging to bawl, but he didn't see this coming. "I b-broke u-up with R-Ron….and I-I'm m-miserable w-with out hhhim."

Oh, this was going to be harder than he thought. Draco loved the fact that his aunt dumped that good for nothing poor fool but it seemed like Adora really did love him, and she had no right to be in this much pain. Adora was such a good-hearted person, "but why did you?"

Adora stopped crying, but their was now anger in her eyes. Nothing Draco had ever seen from Hermione Granger, he meant, Adora Potter. "Ron cheated on me while I was unconscious. When I came to the first thing I saw him leaning in close to Lavender Brown. IN FRONT OF MY OWN BED!" Adora began to break down again.

As much as Draco hated telling Adora, that she was wrong. But Draco loved hearing that she wasn't with Weasley, but he couldn't see her like this anymore. "Dora?" That was Draco's nickname for her, and she looked up. All Adora had was pain in her eyes, "What would you do if I told you that Ron didn't cheat on you. That he was actually trying to find out what had made you become unconscious?"

"I'd tell you that you are a dirty liar."

"Well I'm not, and your going to listen. Lavender convinced Peeves to push you down." "Why that dirty little…."

"Dora!"

"Fine."

"Ron showed up the day you woke up and Lavender was sitting next to you crying her eyes out. Ron asked what she was doing at your bed as you two don't get along at all. Then you woke up."

"But, I don't understand. How do you know all of this?"

"I was in the room. I was waiting for Weasley to do you wrong, and he won't…he really does love you. Obviously you do, too. Go to him and tell him how you really feel."

"But, how?"

Draco slapped himself in the head, Adora was obviously not use to living in the Wizarding World yet. "Floo Powder, and Floo over to wherever Potter is staying."

"Oh of course, thank you!" Adora yelled hugging Draco, and said a few spells to make her appearance look good again. Adora began to walk out of her room.

"Where are you going? You've got a fireplace right here."

"I know that, but I've got to go tell Mum where I'm going."

At Arabella's house…

Ginny had a room to herself, Bella and Sirius were in a room together, and Ron and Harry shared a room also. Ron was getting on Harry's last nerve, even though Harry would do anything for him, but this whole Hermione thing was getting out of proportion.

"Ron?" Ron looked up, and his eyes were bloodshot. "Can, we please go to sleep now? We'll talk about it tomorrow." Ron nodded and rolled over for a sleepless night.

About an hour later, Harry's bedroom door was broken down. Some man started dragging Ron from his bed, grabbed Ron's finger and put it on a port-key before Harry could do a thing. Harry's heartbroken friend was kidnapped. Just then, a familiar Snowy White Owl came soaring into Harry's room with a note addressed to Ron from Hermione. Harry looked at the note and then the bed that was just occupied by Ron. Harry ran out of the room to go get help from the other inhabitants in the house.
