Life without Hermione – Chapter 3: D Day

A/N Alright well I just posted the 2nd chapter and I have this urge just to keep on writing so let me know if I should continue or if my writing sucks.

Disclaimer: I do not own them (unfortunately). Chapter 3: D Day

The day had arrived and the 3 best friends were worried and depressed. They were told by Professor McGonagall to go down to breakfast while she and Professor Dumbledore speak to her parents.

On their way to the Great Hall they spotted Hermione's parents going with Professor McGonagall to Professor Dumbledore's office. Hermione did have the strength to go and talk to her parents at that moment so they kept moving to the Great Hall.

They sat on their own and didn't say much to each other. Hermione asked them, before leaving the common room, not to say anything to anyone else. She didn't want to have to deal with everyone else's outrage at the situation.

It was strange for them because everyone else was so happy and they might have to say goodbye in a few minutes. Harry and Ron tried to reassure Hermione that everything was going to be OK.

After about half an hour Hermione's parents came down to the Great Hall. Hermione, Harry and Ron walked over to them. Before they could greet the Granger's they told Hermione to go and pack her trunk and get ready to leave. The three friends tried to protest but Hermione's parents told them that they haven't changed their minds.

Hermione started heading to the Gryffindor tower but stopped Ron and Harry when they tried to follow.

"If you two don't mind I think I'll just go and pack on my own" Before Ron or Harry could say anything Hermione was already gone.

Ron and Harry were still shocked that Hermione was actually going to leave when Ginny, Ron's younger sister, and Neville Longbottem showed up.

Ginny looked at her brother and saw the saddest look on his face. "Ron what is it, what's wrong?" "Ummm.....it's...well.." Ron looked at Ginny and just couldn't get the words out. Harry looked on and suddenly just blurted it out, "Hermione is leaving, her parents are taking her out of Hogwarts"

"WHAT!!!!" yelled Ginny and Neville at the same time. Ron and Harry explained about Hermione's parents and how they want her lead a normal life.

Ginny was about to go to the Gryffindor tower to go and talk to Hermione but she was already on her way down the stairs to the entrance where they were standing. You could see Hermione had cried while packing her trunk.

Hermione's Dad came over to take her trunk while she said her goodbyes.

Hermione moved to Neville and Ginny and said her goodbyes to them. Ginny started crying. "Ginny thank you fro be my best girl friend. I'll write to you OK" Ginny didn't know what to say, she just kept on crying.

Hermione and Harry hugged and said their goodbyes. Hermione realised that the next person she didn't want to say goodbye to. She walked over to Ron who was just as reluctant to say goodbye. They looked at each other for a while and then hugged. When they finally released each other there were tears in Hermione eyes as well as Ron's.

"Hermione...I.....um...I'm going to miss you so much." "Hey, who was the one who said we will be seeing a lot of each other still. Remember you're suppose to be the positive one." "Well right now I don't really see anything positive of you leaving us"

"Hopefully Ms. Granger will be returning to us Mr Weasley." The 2 friends didn't even notice it when Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall arrived while they were saying goodbye.

Hermione turned to her Headmaster and Professor. "Thanks you Headmaster for trying to get my parents to change their minds, but I guess I was right when I told Professor McGonagall that my parents were stubborn.

Professor McGonagall walked over to Hermione and gave her a small hug as she and Professor Dumbledore said their goodbyes.

Hermione walked over to the entrance doors and looked back at her friends and Professors. She gave a last little wave before leaving Hogwarts.

Everyone just stood there looking at the spot were Hermione was standing just a minute ago. Professor Dumbledore turned to everyone and said, "I hope I am correct in saying that Ms Granger will be joining us again one day."
