Life without Hermione – Chapter 2: Sleepless Night
A/N OK I just finished the first chapter and in the end said I'll wait for a review before starting the second chapter. Let me just say I can not wait that long. I hope the second chapter is to your liking and I hope to have a bit more Ron and Hermione. I'm just not promising much, not sure yet how many chapters I'm doing.

Hermione and Ms McGonagall sat for a moment before anyone said anything.
Ms McGonagall looked at Hermione before talking. "Now my dear I don't want you to worry. Professor Dumbledore and I will talk to your parents and get them to change their minds. It says here in the letter that they are planning on picking you up on Saturday of the Hogwarts visit meaning tomorrow. We'll go back to the common room and you will go straight to bed so we can take care of this first thing in the morning. How does that sound?"
Hermione hesitated a moment before saying: "Alright Ms McGonagall, but I have to warn you once my parents have decided on something they don't change their minds. They are very stubborn"
'Now Ms Granger, I thought you knew me by now. I, myself am just as stubborn when it comes to losing one of my top students"
Hermione was silent for a while and then started to smile.
They got up from off the floor and headed toward the common room. When they entered a very worried Ron and Harry ran towards them.
Ron started babbling straight away forgetting about even great Professor McGonagall. "Hermione where have you been, it's been over an hour since you've left. We have been worried."
Hermione smiled at the fact that even Ronald Weasley admitted this to her. Before Harry could say anything Professor McGonagall started talking.
"If it's alright with you Ms Granger I will leave you now and go talk to Professor Dumbledore about the situation and in the mean time I think you can explain to Mr Potter and Mr Weasley what is going on."
"Thank you Professor."
"You're welcome Ms Granger, Night the 3 of you. Ms Granger keep the story short and sweet, you need to get to bed."
"Night Professor McGonagall" chimed the 3 of them.
Once professor McGonagall left Hermione went over to the chairs in front of the fire and took a seat. Harry and Ron joined her.
"Hermione whets going on" Harry asked with a worried look on his face"and why do you need Professor Dumbledore's assistance?"
"You know I received a letter from my parents this evening." She looked at them as they nodded. "Well my parents have been discussing this for a while it seems and they have come to the conclusion that I need to lead a more normal life."
Ron and Harry were now really confused. "What do you mean normal" asked Ron.
"Well my parents feel I can lead a better life if I lived in the muggle world."
"What do you mean lived?" asked Ron with a now really worried look.
"I mean..." Hermione hesitated before giving the bad news to her 2 best friends "they are taking me out of Hogwarts"
'NOOOOO...'yelled Harry and Ron.
"They can't do that" yelled Ron while Harry was yelling protests of his own.
"Unfortunately they can, but Professor McGonagall said they'll try their best to persuade my parents otherwise."
After a while Hermione said she was going to bed.
After she left Harry and Ron sat for about an hour discussing ways they can get her parents to change their minds.
Later that Night:
As much as Ron tried he just couldn't get to fall asleep. He was thinking of how life would be without Hermione there to tell him to stop swearing or nag him about not doing his homework. After a while of tossing and turning he gave up and decided to go down to the common room.
He just got to the common room when he noticed movement in the corner. It was Hermione. He stood for a while just looking at her and realising that if she left he would never see her smile again or her wonderful eyes.
After a while of staring he walked over to her.
"Umm....Hermione"
She looked up with tears in her eyes.
"Hermione it's going to be OK, Dumbledore will get your parents to change their minds."
"You really think so Ron?"
"Hey remember it's Dumbledore we're talking about here"
"I guess your right, it's just...well....I just can't imagine going to any other school then Hogwarts"
For a while they just looked at the fire and didn't say anything, because Ron couldn't imagine Hermione either going to another school other then Hogwarts.
Before Ron could say anything else to try and make her feel better he started hearing sobs coming from her.
Ron quietly moved over to her and did something he never thought he could get the chance to do. He took her into his arms and held her in a tight embrace as she cried on his shoulders.
After a while she stopped crying and let go reluctantly of Ron. There were still a few tears on her cheeks and suddenly Ron, lightly and carefully, wiped the tears off her cheeks. Hermione looked into his eyes and saw something she's never seen before. It looked like love.
Ron couldn't tear his eyes away. He was so close. All he had to do was lean in. He wanted to do it so badly but he new that Hermione didn't need this right now. She was in to much pain to worry about their friendship.
Ron moved away and reached out his hand to help her up from her seat. He walked her to the stairs of the girl's bedrooms and said goodnight, but not before kissing her on the cheek and giving her a hug.
"It's going to be OK Hermione" "I know, goodnight Ron." "Goodnight"
Ron stood there watching her go up the stairs while praying that Dumbledore figures something out.
