Haylee stood in front of the portrait hole, not wanting to go inside.
"Password?" the fat lady asked. Haylee didn't answer, she just starred at the door. She didn't know how she was going to tell Hermione. "Do you have the password or not?"
"Er...." Haylee couldn't remember the password. All she could think about was Hermione. "No." she said and walked backwards into the wall. She slide down it and put her head in her arms.
"Haylee?" Haylee looked up and saw Ron kneeling in front of her.
"Hi." Haylee said as a tear slowly slide down her face.
"What's wrong?" Ron said sitting next to her and putting his arm around her.
"I have to tell Hermione..." she stopped as more tears poured out of her eyes.
"It's okay. You can tell me." Ron said and Haylee hugged him and put her head on his shoulder. She cried into his shirt and he pulled her into a hug. They sat there for what seemed like hours, until the portrait hole opened again. Ron looked up and saw Harry. He put his finger to his lips and Harry came and sat on the other side of Haylee. She felt him next to her and picked her head up and looked at him. Seeing Harry made her cry more.
Harry looked at Ron for answers but Haylee saw and whispered, "Hermione's parents." She couldn't say anything else. Her head fell to Ron's lap.
"What about them?" Harry said.
"Her mom's in St. Mungo's." she sobbed into Ron's pants. "Her dad..." She stopped and Ron hugged her. "Voldemort took him."
Harry jumped up, "What?" Haylee looked up and saw his face. He was looking at her like it was all her fault. She ran towards the portrait whole without realizing she had forgotten the password. Ron got up to go after her as she ran into the door. It opened and Hermione was standing in the doorway. Haylee looked at her and burst into more tears. She ran past her and up to the girls dormitory. Ron followed. He was almost to the top of the stairs, but they turned into a slide and he slid back down.
"Hermione, could you.." he started but stopped as he turned and saw Hermione standing in the doorway. There were tears rolling down her cheeks. He walked over to her and hugged her. "I'm sorry."
"Password?" the fat lady asked. Haylee didn't answer, she just starred at the door. She didn't know how she was going to tell Hermione. "Do you have the password or not?"
