Chapter Two

Hermione went into a whirl of color and dizziness. Crookshanks clawed at Hermione's arm from complete dislike and discomfort. Hermione yelped in pain but held tighter because she didn't want to lose him.

Hermione didn't know if it was ever going to end. Her head was spinning and she wasn't thinking clearly. When she fell on the floor of The Burrow she hit her head and became unconscious.

A Few Hours Later

"Hermione! Hermione! HERMIONE!" Several voices called from around her.

"Whe-where am I?" Hermione finally stammered. She was lying on a couch in the Weasley's house and she had an ice pack on her head. She tried to sit up but Mrs. Weasley held her back.

"You need to lie down for now. You had quite a nasty fall." Mrs. Weasley said kindly.

Hermione looked around her. Ron and Harry both had nervous looks on their faces.

"Where is Crookshanks? Is he ok?"

"He is fine dear. After you fell he ran upstairs. Ginny is taking care of him." Mrs. Weasley explained.

Hermione smiled at the kindness of everybody around her. She managed to get a thank you past her lips before she passed out again. A few minutes later Hermione woke up and heard laughter coming from somewhere in the room. She slowly moved her head in fear that it might throb from pain.

Harry and Ron were playing wizard chess. Harry had apparently lost all his good pieces and had no good means of defense.

Hermione chuckled to herself at the immaturity of the old game. Ron heard her and looked over.

"You're awake! You had us worried when you passed out again." He said sincerely.

"Yes Ron. You cared soooo much that you decided to play a game of chess." Hermione said jokingly.

"Aww. Come on Her-"Harry began before Hermione interrupted.

"I was kidding." Hermione said before either of them got defensive.

"At least she didn't lose her sense of humor." Ron said before attacking another one of Harry's pawns.

Hermione began to sit up. Her head was feeling much better than it was a few hours ago. She decided to go upstairs and find Ginny. She held on to the railing so she wouldn't fall backwards.

Ginny was in her room gently petting Crookshanks. Hermione smiled as she looked into Ginny's room.

"Hermione! Are you feeling better?" Ginny asked. "You had a lot of us worried. Ron was especially worried. I know he fancies you."

Hermione blushed and said she was feeling much better. She was about to start a conversation with Ginny, but was interrupted by Mrs. Weasley calling everybody down for dinner.

Ginny got up quickly and went to the door. Hermione stood there staring at Crookshanks.

"Hermione? Are you coming?" Ginny asked.

"You go ahead. I'll be right there. I want to say high to Crookshanks."

Ginny nodded and silently left the room.

Hermione walked over to Crookshanks and softly rubbed the back of his furry orange head.

She was just about to leave the room when she heard commotion from the room next to her.

She walked into Ron's room and saw Harry rummaging through his trunk.

"Oh, hey Hermione." Harry said. "Ron and I are going to play Quidditch after dinner and I am getting my broom."

Harry finally found it and pulled it out. When he did he realized that a piece of the mirror Sirius gave him was stuck in the twigs. He pulled them out and ignored Hermione's questioning glance.

"You miss him don't you?" she asked quietly.

"Of course I miss him. It is my fault he is dead. IT IS MY FAULT!!" Harry screamed. He then got a look of deep mourning on his face. Hermione was shocked from the sudden outburst.

Hermione walked over and hugged him. He leaned his head on her shoulder. Hermione hardly noticed the sound of someone coming up the stairs between her words of encouragement.

"Are you guys com-." Ron started until he saw Harry and Hermione with their arms around each other. "Oh I guess I am interrupting something. I will be leaving now."

Hermione noticed what had happened. "Ron? Ron it is not what you think!" she said as she followed after him.

Harry, still thinking about Sirius, kicked his trunk and walked out of the room with his Firebolt.

Dinner was very quiet. Ron wouldn't talk to Hermione or Harry. Hermione didn't want to say anything for fear that it was the wrong time to explain to Ron what had happened.

It was also quiet because it was only Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, Ron, Harry, and Hermione. Mr., Weasly was working late with the ministry on a confidential case and Fred and George were living in Diagon Alley. There new joke shop was an instant hit and they could hardly get away from work.

Hermione hated the silence so she finally broke the ice. "These mashed potatoes are really good Mrs. Weasley." She said very politely.

"Thank you dear." Mrs. Weasley said sensing the tension between the three friends.

Hermione smiled and looked around the table. Ron was glaring at Harry while never missing a beat when eating his mashed potatoes.

Hermione couldn't take it anymore. She looked right at Ron and said. "It was a hug so what? I was comforting Harry about well, last year's events. J-J-just grow up! Will you!"

With that she threw down her napkin and ran upstairs. She went into Ginny's room and threw herself on the cot that had been set up for her to sleep on. She cried loudly until Ginny came up to talk to her.

"Hermione?" Ginny said softly. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Hermione nodded her head, tears still streaming her face. Ginny sat down across from her.

Hermione was glad Ginny had come up to talk to her. Before she began explaining Hermione thanked Ginny for coming up.

"It is nice having someone to talk to around my own age."

Ginny nodded in complete understanding.

"I don't know why Ron was getting all upset about just one hug." Hermione said, now only sniffling.

"Even though you may not notice," Ginny explained. "Ron is very protective of you. He likes you a lot. Before you came here he wouldn't stop talking about you."

Hermione blushed and covered her face with her hands.

"He thought maybe you liked Harry or something. When he saw you hugging him he thought his guess was confirmed." Ginny explained. "I am sure you can relate to that."

Hermione nodded. "I feel stupid now for over-reacting at dinner. He probably won't want to talk to me now."

Ginny walked over to the window and looked out. "He is outside scrubbing the table. Why don't you go talk to him? It looks like he feels as bad as you do right now."

Hermione followed Ginny to the window and looked out. She smiled and turned to Ginny. "Thanks." She said as she gave her a quick hug. "Thanks for everything."

Hermione quickly walked out of Ginny's room to go and talk to Ron.
