*flash back*
"Amanda, I don't know about this!" Hermione said.
"Sheriff McNiel deserves this!" Amanda said.
"I can't get arrested again!" Hermione said.
"We won't get caught, I promise!" Amanda told her. Hermione of course believed her she was her best friend.
"Okay!" Hermione told "But if things get bad we both get out of there!" Amanda smiled.
"I knew, I could count on you." She said putting her arm around Her. "best friends forever!" Hermione smiled at that.
"Of course, we always have and always will!" Hermione said.
"I have something for you" Amanda said. She got up and walked up to her dresser. She opened her Drawer and pulled out a box. She sat back down.
"My mum and I, went shopping and I brought Friendship rings." She opened the box and showed them to her. "I get one and you get one" She gave the purple one to Hermione and Took the blue one. "I got our favorite colors!"
Hermione took the ring and put it on. Amanda did the same. Amanda put her hand out. Hermione took it.
"Best friends always!" They both said. *end of flash back.*
Hermione let a tear fall down her cheek. She put the ring on a necklace she never took it off. She keep it tucked under her shirt.
She heard music coming from Ron's room. She got up and peeked through the door. Ron was dancing. He was really good. Hermione had never seen him dance before. When the song was over he and he stopped, Hermione clapped. He turned around.
"That was really good." Hermione said
"Thanks" He said blushing.
"were did you learn to dance like that?" Hermione asked.
"Bill, He goes to clubs and stuff!" Ron said
"Have you ever been to a club?" Hermione asked him.
"No, I'm too young." Ron said
"Would you like to go to a club? I know one That we could get into!'' Hermione said. Ron smiled.
"Really!" Ron said. Hermione nodded.
"After dinner. We could go!" Hermione said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ron and Hermione Danced for a while till her mum yelled 'supper!' Ginny came into the room.
"Ron can I use pig after dinner?" Ginny asked. Ron nodded. "We better get down to dinner, I'm hungry!" Ron said
"your always hungry!" Hermione said. They walked out of the room and down the stairs in to the dinning room. It was a huge Room. Ron and Ginny have never seen such a Big dinning room. The table was set for 6 people, because mike always ate with them. The food was on the table. Her mum and dad were waiting for them. They all sat down to eat.
"Where is mike?" Hermione asked.
"He will be late he said to start with out him!" her father told her.
"That's the fourth time this week" Hermione told them.
"I know" Miss granger said.
"lets eat!" Mr. Granger said.
The all started to take food. Ron and Mr. granger both ate a lot. Hermione never seen anyone eat as much as her dad!
"Where in the world do you store all that food?" Hermione asked Ron.
"I don't know, How dose that little bit of food fill you?" Ron asked.
"That's what I ask her all the time!" Mr. Granger said.
"Ginny eats like that too!" Ron said. "I think its a girl think!" Mr. Granger nodded. Ginny and Hermione just rolled Their eyes, and went back to eating.
"So, How is you parents?" Miss Granger asked Ron and Ginny
"Busy" Ginny said. "That's why they asked if we come here."
"they didn't want us home alone." Ron said.
"Well, were glad to have you here!" Miss Granger said.
"I'm glad you two came. I missed you both" Hermione added.
"We missed you too" Ron said. Hermione smiled at him.
~*~*~*~*~*
After dinner Ron went his room while Ginny and Hermione went to Hermione's room.
"So tell me about the guys at this club?" ginny asked.
"I haven't been there in a while but, there pretty good looking." Hermione said.
They were both getting all ready to go out. Hermione picked out a pair of Jeans that were a little tight and a purple halter top. Ginny was wearing Jeans also, and a blue shirt that fit her perfectly.
"how should I do my hair?" Hermione asked Ginny.
"Have this gel, that makes your hair curly want to try it!" ginny asked her. Hermione nodded. Ginny walked over to her bag and pulled out a bottle. Hermione sat down and Ginny brushed out her hair. When she was done brushing it she scrunched her hair with the gel to make it curly. After about a minute of scrunching Hermione's hair was curly, not frizzy.
"thanks Gin!" Hermione said.
Ginny just left her hair down. They both put a little bit of make up on. Someone knock on the door. "Hermione, it's mum!'' Hermione opened the door. Her mom walked in.
"Ron is waiting down stairs for you two!" She told them. "Hermione could I talked to you a minute?" Her mother asked. "Ginny tell Ron I'll be down in a minute." Hermione said Ginny nodded and left the room.
"Are you okay?" Her mother asked her.
"I'm fine!" Hermione told her.
"I talk to Annie, and she told me you ran into the sheriff, and he said something's." That was the only problem with Annie she told her mother everything.
"Mum, I don't want to talk about It!" Hermione stated. Hoping her mother would drop it.
"That's the problem you never talked about it, Hermione. Never!" her mother said.
"I don't want too! I'm trying to forget, why won't anyone let me forget it." Hermione was staring to get mad.
"Because we all know you can't forget her! No matter how hard you try, you can't forget her." Hermione knew she was right. "I know, and that's what hurts the most. I still pray I will wake up and it was all a horrible nightmare. I still wish that could go back and change what happen but I can't! Amanda's dead and there is nothing you, me, or anyone can do about." Hermione started to cry again. Her mum came over and hugged her. "She wouldn't want you to do this she would want you to move on That's why I want you to go out to night and have fun.'' she wiped her daughter's eyes and said "I will tell them you'll be down in a minute." She kissed Hermione on the head. She turned and left the room. Hermione went to fix her makeup.

"Yes, it would. Thank you!" She said.
"Mione, Did you ever date him?" Ron asked. Normally Hermione wouldn't tell him she would just ignore the question or tell him it was none of his businesses. Instead she said. "No, I have never dated Him. He was like my brother before he left." Ron smiled.
"Would you like to dance?" Ron asked. "I thought you would never ask!" Hermione took his hand and lead her to the floor, where they started dancing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I like this song!" a girl said to her friend the were next to Hermione. they turned to her.
"Do you know the name of this song?" They asked.
"It called 'I Gotta tell you'" Hermione told them "Thank you" they said.
*Flashback*
"I'm going to miss this club when I go away!" Amanda said
"Me too, but when we come home for the summer will come back here!" Hermione said
"Of course. This and Annie's!" Amanda said. Hermione nodded.
"What time is it?" Amanda asked. Hermione looked down at her watch. "We have to go it's ten o'clock" Hermione said.
The d. J announced the next song. "Samantha Mamba Got tell you"
"lets stay tell after this song! please?" Amanda said She loved that song.
"fine but right after were leaving!" Hermione told her. She smiled and started twirling around causing Hermione to laugh. Then she grabbed Hermione hand and they started twirling together. When the song ended, they stopped
"okay lets go" As they walked out of the club they said by to the bouncer. That was the last time Hermione and Amanda were at the club together.
* End of flashback*
"Are you okay?" Ron who just returned from the bathroom. "I'm fine, I just need some air!" Hermione said
"Okay lets go outside for a while." He took Hermione's hand and they walked out side. The man stamped their hand so they could get back in.
They sat down on the steps on the side of the building. Hermione hated how everything reminded her of that horrible night, That she lost her best friend.
"Ron, Could I tell you something?" Hermione asked she never really talked about it to anyone, but she wanted to get it off her chest. The one person she trusted the most was Ron so she was going to tell him.
"Of course!" Ron said.
"I have always hated the sheriff, he was always trying to find Some way to arrest My friends and I. My best friend Amanda was sick of it. The sheriff spent more time following four kids around, then casing criminals. All of my friends were going away to school. So as our last big prank on this town we were going to egg the sheriffs house. Amanda came up with it. I knew that this could get us in so much more trouble then ever before. I told her that too, But she promised me that everything would go fine and if things get bad well run away. Jay and his sister couldn't come there parents made them go to some dinner with them. So it was just me and Amanda. We had a plan. We would go to the club so that people could say we were there, incase the some how found out it was us. We hid the eggs during the day and when we left the club we would go get them. Then we would egg the house and leave as soon as he thought we were gone. Well, we went to the club as planed. It was so much fun. When we left we went to the get the eggs then we crossed the street to the sheriffs house. there was an alley in back of his house that we could get a good shot of the house at. We snuck around pack. Amanda threw the first egg. We threw all the eggs we have. Then the sheriff came out with a gun in his hand. Here is were the plan went wrong. We couldn't leave no matter where we went he would see us leaving. so we stayed where we were. The sheriff said he would shoot if we didn't come out. We never thought he would actually shot but he did" Hermione stopped tears where rolling down her cheek now. Ron put his arm around her. "Before we even knew what happen Amanda was on the ground, He shot her in stomach. The blood was pouring out of her so fast. I tried to stop it. I yelled for help. the sheriff came over to us and He said that's what you get. He said that it was our fault. He went to call the ambulance. Amanda was still alive but she was in so much pain she told me 'not to cry' Then she took off her ring and gave it to me. The ring was one of the friend ship rings that we both had one. She said 'to hold on to this, and give to someone I thought deserved it 'She pulled the ring out of her pocket. "I didn't want to take it! I didn't want to even think she was dying. I told her that She was going to be okay. She just smiled at me and said she would always be watching me and that I was the only one that made her life fun. The ambulance came around the corner. They put her on the stretcher. She stuck up her hand and we did this thing we always did I would take it and we would say best friends forever. I rode to the hospital with them. They wouldn't let me go into the Emergency room. They called her parents and mine. When the doctor Finally came out it seemed like hours passed. I knew by looking at his face she was gone. He told us that she lost to much blood, and she was dead. I got up and ran out of the hospital. I heard her mum call my name, but I keep going. I ran into my dad and he took me home!" Hermione finished her story. "That was six years ago today! I tried so hard to forget. I swore that I would work hard and that I would try not to get in anymore trouble or get my friends killed!"
"Hermione, You didn't kill her!" Ron said.
"I shouldn't of let her go. I should have said No to going. I should have had a better plan!" Hermione said. Ron hated to see Hermione in so much pain.
"You didn't know he would shoot her! You have to stop blaming your self. You have to live, Hermione. What happen, happen. No one blames you!" Ron said.
"She is still gone and I Hate it!" Hermione said.
"That's the thing Hermione, She's not gone. She's right here!" He said pointing at her heart. "As long as you keep her in her heart she will never be gone." Hermione hugged him. He hugged her back.
"Ron, I want you to have the ring!" Hermione said wiping her tears.
"I-I can't-" He started but Hermione cut him off.
"I want you to have it!" She stated she took his hand and put the ring in it, then closed it. "we better get back in there." She said. He nodded.
"Hermione, could I put it on my chain?" Ron asked. She nodded. He took off his chain and put the ring on it, then put it back on.
"Now, lets go!" Hermione said.

I told her that She was going to be okay. She just smiled at me and said she would always be watching me and that I was the only one that made her life fun. The ambulance came around the corner. They put her on the stretcher. She stuck up her hand and we did this thing we always did I would take it and we would say best friends forever. I rode to the hospital with them. They wouldn't let me go into the Emergency room. They called her parents and mine. When the doctor Finally came out it seemed like hours passed. I knew by looking at his face she was gone. He told us that she lost to much blood, and she was dead. I got up and ran out of the hospital. I heard her mum call my name, but I keep going. I ran into my dad and he took me home!" Hermione finished her story. "That was six years ago today! I tried so hard to forget. I swore that I would work hard and that I would try not to get in anymore trouble or get my friends killed!"
"Hermione, You didn't kill her!" Ron said.
"I shouldn't of let her go. I should have said No to going. I should have had a better plan!" Hermione said. Ron hated to see Hermione in so much pain.
"You didn't know he would shoot her! You have to stop blaming your self. You have to live, Hermione. What happen, happen. No one blames you!" Ron said.
"She is still gone and I Hate it!" Hermione said.
"That's the thing Hermione, She's not gone. She's right here!" He said pointing at her heart. "As long as you keep her in her heart she will never be gone." Hermione hugged him. He hugged her back.
"Ron, I want you to have the ring!" Hermione said wiping her tears.
"I-I can't-" He started but Hermione cut him off.
"I want you to have it!" She stated she took his hand and put the ring in it, then closed it. "we better get back in there." She said. He nodded.
"Hermione, could I put it on my chain?" Ron asked. She nodded. He took off his chain and put the ring on it, then put it back on.
"Now, lets go!" Hermione said.

That was a long chapter. I wanted you all to find out in this chapter, so we could move on with the story. There is still a lot I have planed. I was going to end it, after another chapter or so, But I'm having so much fun writing this. I have trouble sleeping a lot and last night I was up all night. During that time I had some more ideas! You will meet Samantha next chapter. Harry and Charlie Weasley come into the story, ether the next one or chapter five. Please review! Sam
