Chapter 3.

Hermione walked into her quiet, empty house. She flipped quickly through the mail, and then headed up the stairs to change. Tonight was the night of her weekly dinner with Harry and Ginny Potter, they had been having this meeting every week for the last five years. After changing and getting freshened up, she headed over to the Potter's. With a loud pop, she disappeared from the room. .

"Hermione, so glad to see you" Ginny greated her with a hug.

"You too Gin and Harry" releasing Ginny and giving Harry a hug too.

"Are you o.k. Hermione? You look very tired" said Harry as he stepped away and put his arm around his wife.

"Well you know this time of year is especially hard on me. That day is only two days away. But anyway it is so quiet where are the kids tonight?"

"Oh well they couldn't resist Uncle Fred and Uncle George's invitation to the opening of the newest joke shop" Ginny replied handing her a glass of water.

"Oh, a hard one to resist. I still can't belive you two trust them with your children, let alone in one of their shops" chuckled Hermione.

"Well, Harry, Hermione lets sit down and the table dinner is ready"

After they had eaten themselves inot a lethargic state they settled themselves in the living room. Harry and Ginny on the sofa and Hermione in the plush chair that had been christened "Mione's chair". They laughed and talked about work for an hour until ginny finally nudged Harry. Clearning his throat he said, "So, are you still taking your nightly walks?"

"Yes I am. I also think you already knew the answer to that."

"Hermione, why? why can't you come to see that he is gone? Why?"

"Ginny, we have been over this. I am not giving up on him. I know he is still out there, and I know he is looking for me too. I would know if he wasn't. We are connected. Now if you two don't mind, it is getting late and i need to get home to change into my walking clothes. I'll see you next week." With that she stood up and seconds later there was a pop and she was gone.

She had apparated into her room at home. She walked into her closet took off her clothes and put her walking outfit on, the same one she wore everynight. Before leaving the room she stared hard into the mirror. "I know you are still out there, I just know it. You have to be there is no other solution" she said firmly.

She walked down the stairs her hand gliding gently down the banister. Reaching the bottom of the stairs she opened the door, locked it behind her, and began her walk. Instead of letting memories flood her tonight, she chose what she wanted to think about.

Along the highway
