Chapter 3:

Just the Beginning

)~*~( )~*~( )~*~( )~*~( )~*~(

When Ron awoke the next morning, he looked down at the angel sleeping in his arms. He could not believe how lucky he was to he someone care about him as passionately as Hermione did.

He solwly made his way out of the bed trying hard not to awake Hermione since it was early in the morning. Quickly pulling an a shirt, he made his way down to the kitchen to see what was for breakfast.

While walking past Ginny's room he heard that both Harry and Ginny were already up doing some last minute packing of Ginny's belongings. He tried to remember if Ginny had ever been prepared in her life. Sadly he couldn't recall of any time.

At that moment, Ron felt the floor shake. It got worse and worse until it stopped as sudden as it started. "FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY!!! IF YOU TRY ONE MORE OF YOUR PRANKS IN THIS HOUSE I WILL SELL YOU ROOM TO A SON THAT DOESN'T BRING SHAME TO ME." Mrs. Weasley boomed at the twins.

"Oh come on mum. You wouldn't do that . Every family has the clowns and lucky for you we have two." either Fred or George answered.

"Yeah, Plus anyway it didn't even work. It is only suppose to effect those sleeping." the other twin added matter of factly.

"oh just get out and do something constructive." Hrs. Weasley said not wanting to argue with tem any longer.

While this scene unfolded in the kitchen, Ron, Ginny, and Harry stood on the stairs and watched the twins leave with grins on their faces. "Good morning mother." Ginny said while giving her mother a kiss on the cheek.

"Good morning Ginny, Harry, Ron and Hermi- Ron where's Hermione?

"Still asleep mother."

"Well Ronald go wake her up. She'll miss breakfast."

"Ah come on mother. Let her sleep." added Ginny.

"Yeah Mrs. Weasley she won't mind about missing breakfast. She has never had an apatite in the morning anyway." Harry stated.

"Oh alright. But we are leaving in two hours." Molly gave in.

)~*~( )~*~( )~*~( )~*~( )~*~(

Upstairs Hermione started to wake up. 'What was that?' Hermione thought. Then she heard Molly Weasley yelling at the twins. 'Ugh. They're at it again. Except today it's was to early.' She got up from bed slowly since Hermione has never been a morning person.

She walked down to the shower and started to wake with warm water and her watermelon scented soaps. After Ginny gave her a bottle of watermelon sent soap, she hasn't used anything but watermelon since then.

After her shower and a half an hour later, Hermione walked into the kitchen. "morning all." she greeted with a yawn.

"Hermione dear, this just came for you." Mrs. Weasley said while holding an envelope addressed to Hermione.

"Thank you" she answered. She opened the letter and it read,

Hermione my darling daughter,

I hope that you get this before you leave for school since I still don't understand how these owls know where to go. I have enclosed $500.00 for school. Plus I hope you have a wonderful year and I will see you as soon as possible.

But as you might have found out, this letter is not just to wish you a wonderful year. I am to inform you that everything between your father and myself is resolved. Sadly this marriage of ours was never destined to work. But it is not your fault because we both love you so much. Please understand not everything is ment to work out perfectly. I just feel we need to be apart for awhile and figure out some things for ourselves. We both will love and support you no matter what. Please don't take this the wrong way, I love your father. I just can't live with him anymore.

With all the love I posses,

Your loving mother

After Hermione was done reading she looked up to find everyone watching her. She had silent tears rolling down her cheeks. "Mione? What's wrong?" Ron asked out of full concern. She looked at him and turned, running out of the house and out the garden fence.

While Ron watched her run, Harry had picked up the letter and said slowly "Divorced? The Grangers?" and that was all Ron neede to know to chase after her.

"Hermione. Hermione! There you are. I'm so--"

"Ron just leave. I want to be alone." He could hear her cries.

"Hermione, please let me help. No one should have to go through this alone." And with that she fell to the ground sobbing. Ron rushed over and held her weeping form in his arms saying soothing words to her over and over.

"They were perfect. They had so much love. I used to say that when I got married I would have as much love and care they had. Now what? What am I suppose to do? Their love for me will never be the same."

"Shhhhhhh…" comforted Ron. " I will always love you and be here for you. I promise."

"That is what they said." added Hermione.

"Mr. Malfoy. I always knew you liked school but what brings you here a day early?" Asked Albus Dumbledore. Standing in the entrance hallway waiting for Draco to join him.

"Please Professor. I'm amazed I lasted this long in that house. It's only one night and everyone is arriving tomorrow anyway." Draco stated.

"Mr. Malfoy, I never though I'd hear you make a plea like that." Dumbledore added with an extra glimmer in his eye. "But of course you are welcome to stay. Hogwart's doors are always open to any student trying to find refuge. But Mr. Malfoy, may I inquire what brought you here in the first place?"

"Well, Lucius wanted me to make some decisions about some personal matters." Draco answered. Resieving a questioning look from Dumbledore. "Please Professor, I'm really tired and would like to be shown to the Head's rooms."

"Of course Mr. Malfoy. Right this way." Dumbledore lead him up some stairs and down others. They passed pictures of castles, dragons and even fruit along many corridors. Once they finally stopped Draco thought that they might be somewhere near the raven claw common room but he wasn't possitive. "Now Draco. What would you like the password to be for now since Miss. Granger has not arrived?"

Ah now Draco saw it. A picture of a girl with long flowing brown hair and the bluest eyes he has ever seen. She couldn't have been more than a year older than himself. Yet finally she spoke up. "Hello. I am Anna Rcinina and I will be your password holder for the year I guess." As she talked, Draco could hear the boredom in her voice almost as if she had given up on something.

"Now Anna. This year is a new start. Maybe something different will happen." Dumbledore added to the picture.

"Oh Albus. It's useless. She won't be here again like always." Anna replied.

"Yes well always keep your hopes up. Every day brings something new. Anyway, Draco, how about dragon for now?" Dumbledore asked Draco and received a nod of approval. "Good. Now on you go to the left is you room and up the stairs. You and Miss. Granger will share a bath, common room and library picked by Madam Pince specifically for the Head Boy and Girl to use. If that is everything I will leave you to settle in."

Then Dumbledore left Draco standing in the common room trying to figure out what went on between the headmaster and the picture girl Anna.
