A/N: well guys, this was only supposed to be a one shot story…but then I found a song that would be perfect for another chapter. Then I expanded the idea and came up with this.

Dry Your Eyes 2

Harry stood at the door of his best friends apartment knocking furiously.

"I'm coming hold on…hold on!"

As soon as Ron opened the door that Harry was leaning on, Harry fell forward onto the redhead. They tumbled to the ground and Harry's present went flying.

"Uf! Harry what the bloody hell is going on?" Ron asked angrily

Harry blushed and got off Ron, then grabbed his hand to help him up.

"Happy Birthday!" He smiled and gave Ron a hug.

"What's so happy about it?" Harry watched his friend go sit on the couch and close his eyes.

Harry walked over and studied Ron's face. He noticed the sadness there making the twenty year old look like he was forty at least. "Is it her?"

Ron glared at Harry. "No, of course not. She's not the love of my life that walked out without a reason. She's not the reason I have been moping around for the past 3 years," At Harry's hurt look he sighed. "I'm sorry mate, it's just…"

He got up and walked over to the calendar. "Today is the day she left…this exact day three years ago. My birthday." He gave a bitter laugh. "Lovely present she gave me huh? "

Harry put a hand on Ron's shoulder. "I just don't get it. Why would she up and leave? Did I do something? I just wish there was some way I could talk to her."

Harry smiled. "Of course you do. You love her." He walked back over to the couch. "Come here and open your present."

"I'm not really in the mood if you get what I mean."

"Please? I spent the longest time looking for it." Harry looked hopeful when he saw his friend's shoulders sag. "I promise you it is much better than anything else you have received."

"What are you going to leave me too? Or rip out my heart and stomp on it then leave?" Harry ignored his friend's bad humor and motioned for him to come. Ron gave in and walked over.

He opened the box and unwrapped the paper. What he saw made him gasp. It was a picture of Ron and Hermione on the day they got engaged. Ron dropped the picture back into the box and held his head in his hands.

"How exactly did you think this would be better? If you didn't notice I was trying to forget her." Ron asked fuming. Harry noticed and quickly produced an envelope.

"What's this? A card that says have a nice birthday…too bad your girlfriend left you."

"Well excuse me for doing something nice. All I wanted was to make your birthday fun. And it doesn't seem as if you were doing a very good job of forgetting her." Harry shot back defensively. "Just open the card."

Ron snatched it and tore it open. A tiny business card floated onto the floor. He picked it up and looked at the address listed.

"Yea so? I never heard of this place before," Ron told Harry.

Harry sighed. He was getting very annoyed with his best friend today. "Turn it over."

Ron did as he was told and as he read the name on the front his eyes grew wide.

"Harry…" He looked at the card and then back at his friend. "This is the best present I have ever gotten."

He launched himself at his dark-haired friend and squeezed him tight.

The card fluttered onto the ground on the side without an address. The name read Hermione Granger.

A/n: yay! Fast finish, fast update… I hope it doesn't suck. its kinda short but i promise the next one will be longer!

Love, Kristin
