Chapter 11: Heartbreaking News, Soft Cuddles and No More Worries
Hermione followed Sirius and Bryan outside. "I think you should sit down Ione" said Bryan. She nodded. She had no idea what this was about but she knew that it was bad. Sirius took out his wand and conjured up three chairs. They all sat down. "What's going on?" asked Hermione. Sirius sighed. "Well, er-" started Sirius but Bryan cut him off. "Hermione, mum and dad are getting a divorce." (didn't see that coming huh?) Hermione couldn't believe it. "This is a joke right?" she asked. "I wish it was" said Bryan. Hermione looked at the ground. She wanted to cry, she really wanted to, but she couldn't. She had to be strong. "Well, why is Sirius here then?" she asked. She felt hot tears in her eyes and decided to let them go. Sirius looked at the heartbroken girl and then said "Because during Christmas break instead of you being alone at Hogwarts they want you to stay with Harry so they can settle the divorce and see who gets custody of you" he said. That touched a nerve. Who was she going to stay with? She loved her parents equally and probably can't live without both of them. "Why-why can't I stay with you Bryan?" she asked. "I can't afford to feed another mouth, Ione and I'm still in College and still paying rent and working. I don't know right now if I can take you in. Mum and Dad wanted me to take you in first but since I can't right now, they talked to Sirius and he agreed."
Hermione nodded. Tears were now freely running down her cheecks but she wasn't sobbing or anything. Bryan was about to get up and give her a hug, but Hermione got up first and ran inside. Bryan sighed and kicked the chair. "Sorry you had to be a part of this" said Bryan. Sirius then said "Don't be sorry, but I just hope Hermione can cope with this well." "I hope so, I really hope so".
Back inside, everyone was wondering what they were talking about. Then they heard a door open and saw Hermione walk in. "Hermione!" said Harry with relief, but once he saw tears in her eyes he had a look of concern on his face. "What's wrong?" "It's nothing" she said and then she went outside again and screamed. Harry decided to talk to her. After Hermione yelled she sat down at a far away corner so she could finally take in what's about to happen to her.
"What's wrong?" said a voice behind her as the person sat next to her. Hermione sighed and saw that it was only Harry. Should she tell him? She really didn't want to but decided just this once, to actually tell him something. "My parents are getting a divorce" Hermione said. A wave of relief washed over her. She finally didn't keep a problem to herself. It felt good to finally tell someone a problem of hers."What? Are you serious!" exclaimed Harry. When he saw the Grangers they looked so happy, he had no idea that a divorce was happening behind closed doors. "Yes, and they want me to stay with Sirius during Christmas Break so they could get everything together and decide who should I stay with" she said. She was still crying. Harry looked at her and thought of the only thing he could well, think of that she needed right now. He hugged her. Hermione at first stiffened, but then she returned the hug. And then, the two lovebirds were sitting and hugging and cuddling. (doesn't that make you want to go aawww)
Meanwhile:
Once Sirius and Bryan got inside the house they were both bombarded by questions. "Okay, okay, I know you all want to know what's going on but, this issue is only for Me, Sirius, and Hermione to handle, so please don't ask anymore questions until we finally can settle this" said Bryan. He did want to tell them, but he just met them, he needed to gain their trust. Everyone's faces frowned as they found out they couldn't be part of the problem that needed to be solved. "Where's Hermione?" asked Bryan. "She went outside and Harry is talking to her" responded Tonks. Bryan nodded. He decided to let Harry talk to her now and he would talk to her later. An awkward silence followed. "Well" started Lupin who didn't like the awkwardness (is that a word?) "Would anyone like some tea?" everyone nodded and they all went to go and get some tea.
Back to Harry and Hermione:
"I'm sorry Harry" said Hermione as she let go of Harry and looked at the ground. Harry had a puzzled look in his face. "What do you mean your sorry?" asked Harry. Hermione sighed. "I'm sorry for being such a big baby and for being weak, if you want another girl who is not a baby nor weak, you can dump me, I'll understand" she said staring at the ground with more tears streaming down her cheeks. Harry was taken aback. Why would she think she's weak? "Hermione look at me" said Harry softly. She didn't move. Harry then gently, with his hand grabbed her chin so she was looking up at him, green meeting honey brown. "Hermione I would never ever dump you! And, your one of the bravest girl I have ever have the pleasure of meeting. Remember when you were at the Department of Mysteries with me? I saw bravery in your eyes, the time we saved Buckbeack you were quite nervous but never really showed it. Your not weak at all! Your such a brave and caring person and I would never dump you for that!" said Harry.
Hermione looked at Harry. "Do you mean all that? Or are you just playing with me? If so Harry, then-" she stopped in midsentence because Harry slanted his lips on hers. Hermione didn't say anymore and just let Harry kiss her like there's no tomorrow. His kisses were soft and innocent, maybe it was because their relationship was new and none of them knew what to do. Maybe later on, they would be filled with a ton of passion (dum dum dum) Then Harry and Hermione stopped kissing (well you need oxygen to live) Then a thought occurred to Hermione. Even though all this bad stuff was happening to her, she had a ton of people that cared for her. So, what if her parents were getting a divorce? It wasn't her fault, it's just how life works. Smiling up at the sky, she realized, that from now on, she wouldn't be worried about anything. 'No more worries' she told herself and then rested her head on Harry's shoulder as they both looked at the sun going down.
