Learn To Cry

A/N: Thankies to all my beautiful rewiewers. Heres the next chapter, review responses are here:

Golden stringbean- your story deserves reviews. No thanks required

iceprincess7133- The chapter made more sense short, rathr than lumping a lot of stuff together.

By the way, the reason this took so long to get up is because my computer doesn't like first chapter. By the way, I upped it to $30, and she still won't sell!

Chapter 2: The Shocking Truth

Hermione threw the rest of her luggage on the ground and looked at Ginny, who said, "What did you pack? Bricks?" Hermione smiled weakly, then blushed and muttered incoherently. Ginny, amused, announced thoughtfully, "No, not bricks, it's…." with that she threw open the trunk and started to say, "Books!" but fell short upon seeing what was in the trunk. Slowly, she bent down and picked up a long, black dress and one of many pictures in heavy, gold, frames. She looked up at Hermione, noticing for the first time that she wore all black. Remembering back, she realised that all year, Hermione had worn no cheery colors or a real, happy smile. She had only donned black and falsely cheerful grins. Ginny looked down at the picture in her hand and realised that it was a muggle picture of a man and a woman. The woman looked like an exact copy of Hermione, only older. She turned to Hermione, who had kept silent, and said, "'Mione, what happened?" Hermione stared at her, then said bluntly, "My parents died," then walked down the stairs, out the door and into the garden. As someone unknown to her watched, she placed an invisibility charm on herself and disappeared into thin air.

A/N: Chapters will get longer, cross my heart. I will post the next chapter right away.
