Deliverance: Chapter 2

Morning had finally come and Hermione wasn't feeling any better, today she was going to have to confess to Ron what she had done; How would he take the news? She slowly got out of bed, got dressed, and headed down to the great hall to talk to Ron. Ron was waiting for her at the Gryffindor table. He looked slightly nervous about speaking with her but it was obvious that he had calmed down since the previous evening.

"Hello 'Mione." He turned a little red but otherwise stayed calm. "I'm sorry for yelling at you last night, I know that this must be hard on you."

"That's alright Ron." She smiled slightly "Now I need you to listen to me because I've decided that I am going to tell you who 'it' was." Ron merely nodded. "Ok, this Ron is what happened..." Hermione went into a longwinded explanation of the day she had been raped by harry, when she had finally finished talking Ron was absolutely speechless, he was gaping at Hermione unable to form words to describe what he was feeling.

".... H..H..Harry? He did this to you?" Ron was dumbfounded he was unable to believe that harry his best friend of six years would be able to do such a horrible thing... true harry had been different lately, but this, how could he do such a thing?

"Ron there is one more thing that I need to tell you..." Hermione looked rather pale at this moment she seemed both scared and guilty at the same time as well as confused and unsure. "Ron, last night after our argument... Well, I just couldn't take it anymore so... so I performed an abortion spell." Ron was in shock, this couldn't be real, first the news about Harry and now this? He just couldn't take it. Without saying a word he got up from the table and left. Leaving Hermione more alone than she thought was possible. Her friends were gone, Harry was no longer her friend, and now Ron had deserted her as well. How could this year possibly get any worse? She really shouldn't have asked.
