Hey! Thanks to everyone who has been reading! Now this chapter
turns back to Hermione. I really hope you like it! Here it goes!
Hermione woke up feeling miserable. She had been tossing and turning all night, hardly allowing any time for sleep. She rolled on her back her hand rubbing her forehead hoping her headache would leave her. Memories of Ron lingered in her mind. Their first kiss.the day he had proposed.their wedding day.and most of all the small and quiet, yet significant moments that had defined their relationship. "Why can't you just leave me alone?" she asked.
Desolately she sat up and walked to her suitcase to pull out something to wear for the day. Her clothes were slightly wrinkled due to how fast she had packed everything. She had intended on folding everything when she got to Harry and Ginny's, but she was too upset and angry to even consider it when the time had come. Don't get me wrong; leaving Ron had broken her up inside. She had never felt so miserable in her life, but she knew she knew she had to do it. She knew she had to leave Ron. Something just wasn't right. She didn't love him like she use to.
She made her way to the kitchen and took a seat so she could read the daily prophet that had been left on the table. They had recently become slightly more factual on their reporting. "Good morning!" said Ginny. Hermione replied with a good morning as well. "Did you sleep well?
Hermione thought of something quickly. "Yeah, actually. The bed was quite comfortable." She felt bad lying to Ginny, but she couldn't tell her she had hardly slept a wink. Ginny would know in a heartbeat that it was because of Ron. In fact, the two girls had been best friends for so long, Hermione figured Ginny could see right through her lie. "Where's Harry?"
"Oh, he had to go to work early for an hour or so. They needed him for something, but he'll be back soon." Ginny had thought of something while Hermione was sleeping. Hermione was immediately suspicious, but decided not to press the issue any further. Ginny walked over carrying two cups of coffee, handed one to Hermione, and sat down. She looked as though she was carrying something extremely heavy, or had something troubling to say. Hermione prepared herself for a lecture even though Ginny wasn't the type to do so. "So are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, Ginny. I have to."
"But why? I just don't see it. You two seemed fine to Harry and me."
"It's hard to explain. Something's missing. It's just weird, I'm just not
sure if I love him anymore, and I'm not sure he loves me either."
"What? Of course he loves you! And of course you love him!" "No, Ginny, he doesn't love me. I use to be able to see it in his eyes, you
know? I use to be able to know, just by looking at him, and the way he looked at me! I would realize how much I loved him, how much I just wanted
to be by his side. But that light in his eyes has faded, and now it's
filled with sadness. It's almost like I'm making him miserable just by being with him. I'd always be 'all work and no play'. He doesn't realize
life can't all be fun and games!"
"You know that's not true Hermione. He loves you, and you love him."
"No, I don't! I loved the old Ron. The Ron that was so worn down, the Ron
that loved me too. And that Ron is gone."
"Why don't you talk to him?"
"Do you think I've tried? He wouldn't even want to talk anyway!"
"I just don't get it! The two of you never talk about your problems! You're
supposed to try to work through them!"
"I can't stay with him, Ginny! I have to leave him. I have to."
"No, you don't!"
"Listen, I know he's your brother and you want him to be happy, so please just let us separate quietly. I've got to go. I'm suppose to sign a year
long contract for my apartment-"
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
"What?"
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
Just then Harry appeared in the room. "Oh, hello Harry! How was work?" said Hermione little too happily.
Harry glanced over at Ginny, who nodded, and then answered, "It was fine. They just needed me to do something quickly."
"Or really? A contract or something?"
Harry became a bit nervous. "Well, um, I'm not exactly-allowed-to- say. That was the only thing he could think of.
"You went and talked to Ron about this, didn't you?" asked Hermione suddenly. She was obviously not quite happy. "How could you?"
"Hermione, we're sorry! It's just not right! We had to do something, or at
least figure out what happened!"
"Harry's right, Hermione. Did you really expect us to just sit down and watch you two get a divorce! You two were meant for each other! Everyone
knows it!"
"Well, everyone doesn't know what the truth is! If you'll excuse me now, I have to go by my apartment." Hermione disappeared leaving Harry and Ginny upset.
Ginny looked at Harry, her eyes pleading for good news about his talk with Ron. "It was no use." He said. Ginny's hand flew to her forehead as she sat down. "He said he doesn't love her any more."
Ginny began to silently cry. Harry sat down and put his arm around her to comfort her. "We can't just let this happen, Harry!" she said through her tears of sorrow and anger.
"Shh." he said comfortingly. "There's nothing we can do. I'm sorry Ginny." She looked up at him with her beautiful green eyes and then began to cry in his shoulder.
Well, there it is! I really hope you liked it! I did! Please review and tell me what you think! Thank you for reading!
