A/N: Wow, after leaving you with such a clive hanger, here comes Chapter 4! Yay! This is, by the way, my first fan fic that isn´t a one shot. I enjoy writing so much! I forgot how much fun it is! So anyways, the story continues……
A broken heart – Chapter 4
Hermione squeled. "Harry, oh god, you didn´t….you weren´t supposed to….shit", she turned around and started to run away but this time Harry was faster. He stood up and grabbed her arm before she could take another step. "Let go, Harry, this isn´t you business!" , Hermione yelled, trying her best to fight Harry off. "Well, I just made it my business!", Harry shot back, trying to keep Hermione from runnign away. Suddenly, Hermione stared to cry hysterically, stopped fighting Harry off but was holding onto him tighly and crying into his shirt. "Why would he do that to me? He was so nice….", she sobbed. "It´s okay, Hermione….shhhh, just calm down a little..", Harry muttered, patting her back. They stood there for a long time, Hermione holding onto him and Harry holding onto her, comforting her.
When Hermione had calmed down a little, they walked back into the castle. Harry had his arm around Hermione´s waist the whole time and she was leaning onto him, still crying silently. When they reached the common room, Harry sat her down into the comfyest chair next to the fire and sat down in a chair facing her. "When did he hit you?", he asked. "Harry, do we have to do this? I dunno…tonight, bit maybe it´s my fault, maybe I did something wrong – " Harry interrupted her: "Hermione, this is not your fault! God, this is about Ron, about what he´s doing to you! Stop blaming yourself for it all, stop foolig yourself into thinking that it will change, stop living this lie!" "It´s not all that easy, Harry.", she replyed, " I´ve been with him since October and it´s just…." Hermione stopped talking and her eyes filled with tears again. "What?", Harry asked. "It´s hard, you know….letting go. He was my first boyfriend, and – " "Hermione, this isn´t a relationship anymore! This is not how he´s supposed to treat you! And you, you deserve so much better than him yelling at you, hitting you! When will you see that?"
They were quiet for a few minutes untill Harry asked Hermione: "Are you okay? I mean, he hit you, are you alright? Cos your eye looks bad and –" "I´m fine", Hermione said quickly, "it´s no big deal, it´s happened before, its – ""What?", Harry asked loudly, "It´s happened before? God, Hermione! What the hell? And you don´t tell anyone?" "he was drunk and I guess he just..", she said quickly. "Hermione, you shouldn´t make excuses for him! He can´t treat you like this!" Harry felt his temper raising once more and was already on the staircase to the boy´s dormitry, ready to punch the crap out of Ron when Hermione´s hand shot out of nowhere and grabbed him. "Harry, don´t do this! D´you think hitting him will make this any beter?" She pulled him down the staircase and Harry knew that she was right, hitting Ron wouldn´t help Hermione.
After a while, he said quietly: "Why didn´t you tell me? You didn´t tell me when he hit you for the first time and you didn´t plan on telling me now, either." "God, Harry, I know you. I know that you were gonna punch Ron or something. And I´m not sure wether or not …. I´m still not sure wether or not,I still love him." "Execuse me? You´re even asking yourself that question?" "Yeah, I know, it´s like he hits you, you leave him…but this is Ron we´re talking about……" "I know but that shouldn´t matter. You gotta leave him and you kow it", Harry said. "Yeah, you´re right, I just….god, this is so complicated!", she muttered. "You have got to do it soon, before this happenes again, you know.", he said quietly. Hermione´s eyes filled with tears again. "I can´t, Harry", she said and tears spilled down her front. Harry put his arms around her again and she leant against him, " This is ridicoulus, but….I´m scared, Harry, what if – " "Then I´ll come with you. I won´t let anything happen to you. Ever."

A/N That´s it for Chapter 4…I´m trying to get a bit of Harry/Hermione in now, since that´s how they´re supposed to end up. Please tell me wether or not you liked this one. There will be a chapter 5 soon and maybe a chapter 6. So this is NOT the end! The story continues! How will Ron react? What will happen then? Dun dun dun dun….. LoL
By the way, sorry for always having to take down the story for a few minutes when I add a new chapter but wont let me add another chapter if I don´t take the story down completely and tehn put it up again with the new chapter. Sorry about that.
Another A/N: Wow, thanks for all the reviews that I got all ready.
Many, many thanks especially to Rae Roberts. You wrote so much, gave me so much more than anyone ever did and it showed me that you really took my story seriousely. Also, thank you for saying that you think that I have "the talent and potential to expand on what you've got and make it really outstanding." I was so happy when I read that.
I wanna become an author when I´m done with school and college and I use Fan Fiction as a start, so I was really glad for all your tips and encouragement. I will try and built in what you told me. Thank you so much.
