"…how could you do this to me…"
"He loves you Hermione, can't you see your hurting him…me…everyone!"
She sat there in a chair all of her friends surrounding her, Harry and Ron's faces most prominent, their faces covered in a look of disgust, as they looked upon her limp form.
"I'm sorry, I just need a change I can't be here…I can't…"
"Hermione wake up!"
"…I'm so sorry…"
"Hermione!! NOW!!!" Ginny yelled for what felt like the one-hundredth time.
Hermione woke with a start and noticed her hair plastered to her face with sweat and..tears? How am I going to tell them now?
"Hermione are you ok you have been asleep for awhile, its time for dinner, and you were talking in your sleep, something about needing a change--"
"It is nothing Gin"
"Are you sure I mean we're best friends, you can tell me anything!"
Great she pulled the best friend line, there is no point in hiding it now, she'll get it out of me either way.
"Well the thing is--"
Harry, Ron, and the rest of the Weasley family, minus Ginny, were sitting around the table waiting for Ginny to return with Hermione so they could finally start dinner. As they sat there silently staring at the amazing dinner Mrs. Weasley had prepared, Ron having to be help back by Harry so he wouldn't attack the food, a face appeared in the fireplace.
"BLOODY HELL!!"
"RONALD WEASLEY WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE, sorry about that Albus, is there anything we can help you with?" asked Mrs. Weasley with an angry glance at Ron.
" Oh nothing important I was just wondering to have a word with Miss Granger about her application for the exchange program," Dumbledore said while scanning the room for the pile of bushy hair.
"Exchange program? Are you sure you want Hermione?" Harry asked with a nervous glance at Ron, who had started to look a bit on the pale side.
"No I am quite sure I wish to talk to Hermione, she recently signed up for the program and I wished to inform her—"
Just then both Hermione and Ginny walked in, and as they looked around and at the fireplace and then around at all the staring faces, noticed something was obviously not right.
"Hello Professor Dumbledore, um, is there something wrong?" Ginny asked nervously.
"No nothing is wrong just wished to inform Miss Granger that she would be exchanged to America during this school year." He nodded in Hermione's direction and said, " But I should be going just wanted to let you know what you would be up against, have a good vacation!" And Dumbledore disappeared from the fireplace.
Everything went completely quiet as Hermione looked around slowly until her eyes landed upon Harry and Ron's faces. They were angry she could tell, she slowly backed out of the room, not ready for what they were going to say. As she ran out of the kitchen the only sound that could be heard was the soft thud as Ron's head collided with the table.
