Episode 4 : Don't cry for me Miss Granger
Chapter 1
Hermione didn't know where she was going and she didn't care. Her feet took her along mindlessly while her thoughts revolved around what she had saw. Ron had kissed Katie. It wasn't his fault or anything, Hermione had just been too slow. If she had told Ron earlier then perhaps they would be lying in bed arm in arm right that second but because she had waited she would now have to wait and see whether Katie and Ron would split up, and whether Ron would still want her. A tear flowed freely down her cheek but she immediately wiped it away. There was no use crying over something she never had now was there ? She turned a corner and soon realised she had made it all the way outside and was now on the corner of her apartment block. Slowly her knees slid upward causing her to land on her bottom up against the cold concrete wall. She was ruined. Every time she went to the apartment now she would see them and every time it would cut a fresh hole in her now bleeding heart. She tried to tell herself that she was over reacting but couldn't. Minutes past, maybe an hour or two and it was only when a man working a night shift dropped a ten pence piece down beside her that she realised she was sat out in the cold and was slowly catching one. Where to stay the night ? The answer was easy. She got to her feet and as the man turned around to ask her if she wanted to stay at his for the night, he would mutter something about a frost, Hermione Ann Granger was gone.

"What are you doing ?" Ron asked calmly as he pulled away form Katie's kiss. Harry's smile at his friend getting lucky vanished as he saw Hermione in the door and now he was happier to see that Ron had pulled away. Katie turned bright red and cried through embarrassment as she vanished. Harry felt a little sorry for her but felt the urge to inform his friend about Hermione.
"Hermione saw," Harry muttered, the bag of peas resting nicely on his head.
"Saw what ?" Ron replied rather dimly. Harry said nothing and soon Ron clicked. "Fuck he muttered before dashing to Hermione's room. She was gone. "She saw from the door !" Harry yelled as he pulled his three piece wand from his pocket and tossed it onto the table. It was useless irreparable. Ron dashed past him and out of the door. Taking along hard look down the corridor her yelled, "'Mione !" before running to Jerald's apartment and bashing on the door. Jerald came to the door, looking tired and confused. His hair stood up like birthday cake candles and his eyes looked half closed.
"Oh right, congratulations Ron," Jerald muttered as Ginny turned up at his side. A goofy yet sleepy smile on her face. The two had only just fallen asleep.
"Congratulations for what ?" Jerald bit his lip hard.
"Never mind," Ginny muttered as she began to close the door. Ron stuck his foot sharply in the gap.
"Is Hermione there ?" He asked and suddenly Ginny was fully aware by the tone of his voice the seriousness of the situation.
"No, Why ?"
"Ah crap," Ron muttered as he began to pace off down the corridor.
"Ron wait !" Harry yelled from the corner, peas on his head. Jerald stared at him from his door. Harry had somehow managed to cut open the top of his head and he had to hand marks on his face and a cut, that looked like a deep fingernail scratch just to the left of his right eyebrow.
"Are you alright Harry ?" Ginny asked with more concern than Jerald and Ron had ever shown in their entire lives. Harry nodded lightly before turning back to Ron.
"Hermione could have apperated anywhere Ron," He shifted the peas as he spoke. "Tell her about it in the morning." Ron nodded. He would have loved to tell Hermione it was all a mistake but running around London in the middle of the night would be crazy. Slowly he walked back toward the apartment and Jerald closed the door. He and Ginny too would have to wait till morning to understand Ron's problem and Harry's injuries.

"Well you know your always welcome dear," Mrs Weasly said as she walked Hermione up the stairs by candle light. "You can stay as long as you like." Hermione nodded. When she had arrived at the Weasly's she had been reminded so much of Ron that she burst into tears right in front of Mr and Mrs Weasly. Arthur had gone to make tea while Mrs Weasly had hugged her. Hermione had told them nothing and they had not pushed her to tell them. They just offered her a room which she excepted. It was lucky they had been awake. Or rather unlucky for Arthur, six raids. Mrs Weasly led her to Ron's old room and Hermione's eyes seemed to hurt wit all the orange. When Mrs Weasly left Hermione dried again. This time for the rest of the night.
