Hey! Once again, no reviews in sight, but I'm not going to let it get
to me! I'll just keep posting! I really like this story. Maybe someone out
there will too. Sorry! I forgot to explain something about the last
chapter. The whole Ron being drunk thing was, well a flashback. Hermione
was thinking about that particular night. From now on I'll put in some sort
of symbol to let you know when that is happening, although I'm sure you
already know.
Anyway! If you are out there reading this, please review and tell me what
you think so far! I'd really appreciate hearing from you! Ok, so here it
goes! Chapter three! Exciting, eh? Ha ha!
"I can't believe Hermione is actually moving out. I mean can my brother really have screwed up that bad?" Ginny and Harry were lying in bed, thinking over what little they knew about Ron and Hermiones current situation.
"It's weird. Hermione has never threatened this before." Said Harry, resting his head on his hands.
"Exactly." After a moment Harry sat up and began putting on his shoes. "Where are you going?"
"Rons."
"Harry, wait. At least give him until the morning. He probably needs some time to cool off. You don't want to even try to talk to him until after."
Harry sighed. "You're right. Goodnight."
Hermione was gone. In one instant her ring was on the floor in front of him, and she had vanished. Poof! Just like that their marriage had gone up in flames. I can't say I didn't see it coming. Not after all those times she let me down.

"Any minute now." Ron stood in front of the spot Hermione appeared everyday after work, holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers. When she appeared, the first thing she'd see was him, standing there, smiling, with the flowers. Ok, so maybe it was a tad corny, but still, it was their special night. It was their anniversary.
Ron had made reservations months ago at their favorite restaurant, the same restaurant he had proposed to her in. They would even be sitting in the same booth! Then he had planned on taking her on a walk on the scenic path along the river close to the restaurant. He couldn't wait! It was going to be a night to remember.
Ron remained in that spot, and at exactly 5:25, Hermione appeared precisely at the spot Ron thought she would. "Hey 'Mione!" he said handing her the flowers with that adorable lopsided grin of his that Hermione loved.
"Hey! Oh wow! Thank you!" she gave him a hug and set them on the table.
"Guess what?" said Ron pulling her into a kiss.
"What?" she said kissing him once more.
"I got us reservations at our favorite restaurant." A look of disappointment spread over Hermiones face. That wasn't the reaction he was hoping for.
"Oh, Ron I'm sorry, I can't go. I said I'd work another shift tonight.
We've had so many emergencies lately!"
"But 'Mione! It's our anniversary!" he said letting go of her. Hermione's eyes went wide.
"Oh my gosh! Our anniversary! That's right! Ron, I completely forgot!"
"It's ok. Just write to St. Mungos and tell them you can't work tonight."
"But I can't! There's a promotion coming soon, and I really need to do
everything I can to get it!"
"It's our anniversary. I'm sure they'' understand if you can't work another shift. Besides, they're going to give you the promotion, even if you don't
work extra."
"I can't just-"
"You've already worked your shift. You don't need to work another!"
"But you don't understand! I really need to get this promotion."
Ron sighed. "How long is your shift?"
"I get off at ten. We can celebrate then, and go to dinner tomorrow."
"Fine, we'll do that."
"Thank you so much! I'll see you at ten!" she kissed him on the cheek and vanished.
A night to remember. right.

She had always done things like this. No wonder she left! Did she even love him? Did she ever love him? Work, work, work! That's what it had always been with Hermione. This promotion, that promotion, she could probably take a whole week off and still get every one that comes along! Just thinking about her made him angry.
Now she was gone. And Ron was surprised to see that he didn't care.
Ok, so there you have it! Please, please, please review and tell me what you think. Let me remind you that Ron and Hermiones point of view can be biased, and they are both so angry right now that they are only focusing on the negative. In the next chapter Ginny is going to try to talk some sense into Hermione. But will it actually work?
