Hermione seemed to drift off to sleep while laying on her bed. She woke up in the middle of the night from her parents fighting. "I can't believe it still goes on...." She thought. Her eyes took a while to adjust. It was really dark without any light there. There was only a little bit of light right near her table. A candle was lit there. Hermione wondered who got in and did that. She walked out of the room and saw her parents glaring at each other at the kitchen table. They both looked very tired.

"You know.... looking at each other won't change a thing." Hermione said in a low voice.

Both parents startled stared at her.

Hermione looked away for a moment and turned back.

"Why are you up?" Mrs. Granger asked tiredly.

"I heard yelling. What do you expect? To ignore it?" Hermione looked at the ground.

"Yelling?" Mr. Granger looked confused.

"Yes, yelling! You both were fighting, didn't you know? You both were yelling things at each other!"

"I...." Mr. Granger started.

"Things aren't working well." Mrs. Granger answered, a bit angry.

"Divorce like?" Hermione blurted out, "You can't do that to me!"

"There's tough days, sweetie..." Mr. Granger told her.

Hermione closed her eyes and put away the divorce thought. She didn't like that thought at all or ever.

"I understand that. But your fighting too much. I barely even feel welcome here. Did you know how I felt when I walked up here? Then I heard you both fighting?" Hermione frowned, glaring a bit.

"You-" Mr. Granger said.

"I thought I could spend Christmas day with you. I thought it would be great to get away from problems at Hogwarts but this seems to be a bigger problem to me. I was so happy that Dumbledore actually let me to send the day with you both. You seem so careless and I'm telling you now... I'm not taking any sides. Any fights in the future. PLEASE. Leave me OUT! In the morning, I'm leaving! I thought you loved each other!"



Hermione sent off to the bathroom. She looked around in the medicine cabinet. Bottles and other things were in it. She spotted sleeping pills then took some, knowing she would have trouble sleeping without them. A few seconds later after cleaning up she went to bed.

-Mr. and Mrs. Granger Moment (oOoh)-

''Are we really like what we seem to be? Careless?" Mr. Granger said gazing at his wife.

She paused for a moment then said quietly, "I think we are. Such stupid little fights....."

"She probably doesn't like us right now."

Mrs. Granger sighed, "Let's try to get her to stay for Christmas."

"Yes that would be good. A day with our daughter. Trying not to have any fights." Mr. Granger said smiling.

"Maybe we should invite over her cousin. Kerry?"

"That would be great. But what if she leaves and both of us didn't help?"

"Kerry would come in hand."

"I'll call in the morning and explain to my sister why I need her for Christmas then." Mrs. Granger told him.

"And these problems.. I wonder what kind of problems she's having at that school."

"Maybe we should take her out of that school?"

"No.. she loves that school..."

"I'll try to talk to her. She wouldn't probably tell you. Since your a male." Mrs. Granger grinned.

"We should go to bed, it's getting late..." Mr. Granger rolled his eyes then added after a few seconds of slience, "I'm sorry about before.."

"I'm sorry too. How did our fights in start out?"

"I think it was Hermione. She's so close of leaving us..."

"I remember now. We still have a while with her." Mrs. Granger sighed.

-Moment over-

Hours later, the sun shined through the window. A few clouds scattered around. She smiled then remembered last night.

There was no yelling at all. It was rather quiet even thought she sensed her parents awake. She went downstairs after packing everything up. Hermione grabbed her suitcase and walked into the kitchen. The lights were on, and everything seemed to be perfectly fine. Her parents were sitting at the kitchen table eating. She walked up to them.

"I'm goin-" Hermione got cut off by her mother.

"Hermione, don't go out in the cold like that! Here's something your father and I got you." She handed her a package.

Hermione's eyes trailed to the box in her mothers hands and reached for it. She awkwardly opened it and gazed at new robes. She smiled at that. New nice robes to wear that would be warm. A book was in the back of the box. An empty no lined book. A diary. Hermione's eyes lit up and she started to grin.

"Thanks... but.... I didn't get you anything...... I didn't have any money. I feel terrible...." Hermione sighed looking at the present she got.

"Money? You should have sent me a letter, Hermione. I would have sent you more money! You already gave us a present. Coming to visit us on Christmas." Mrs. Granger smiled.

"Do you hate us?" Mr. Granger spoke up.

"No... I'm sorry how I acted..." Hermione said gripping at her box.

"We're sorry for how we acted. Especially the fighting. I hope you know we won't be getting divorced. Any time soon." Mr. Granger said softly.

Hermione nodded half smiling.

"Please don't leave so soon. Stay and have some fun before you go back." Mrs. Granger said.

"Your cousin, Kerry, is coming over today. In half an hour." Mr. Granger smiled.

"You planned that before didn't you?"

"Well.. if talking to you didn't make everything settle, we thought another teenage girl could reason with you."
