Hermione sat in the yellow taxi that belonged to the cities. She had only one place to go, the Burrow. She had to take a train, or a bus, either way she had to get there, she had no other place to go or stay and she had no other family that lived in the UK let alone London. And the whole Ron braking up with her thing would just have to wait, and when she got there, she would make him pay for what he did. The Burrow was along 7 hours from where she lived, she could not apparate, as she was still only 16. And there she sat in the back of a cab that would drive her to the nearest bus station, which was conveniently only 10 minuets away from here parents home. Once she gotten to the greyhound bus station, she had 20 minuets to go get something to eat, and make it back to the station before it left at exactly 2:30. She paid the taxi driver, and went inside the bus station; they usually had food courts for coming and going passengers, and so she ate at a taco bell, waiting for her escape to come and rescue her.
She hated taking buses, but she had no choice, the trains were going the opposite direction of the Burrow and the bus was the only way. And of course the bus ride was no short one, it felt like she had been on the bus for 12 hours, reading magazines and listening to muggle music. She thought alot though, alot about everything, now that her parents had died, and she had changed the way she looked, would they treat her different, would they still be friends? What would she say when she got to the Burrow? How would she explain her coming, when after she had told them strictly no? All she knew right now is that she couldn't tell anyone about Mike raping and beating her, she didn't want to deal with all the pressure of questions, and more pity than already from everyone. The bus had stopped atleast six times before they made it all the way to the Burrow around 9:30. She was unusually nervous, maybe it was because she came without warning, but it was probably because she didn't know how everyone was going to treat her.
After she had gotten off the bus, she walked down the driveway of the Weasley's enormous home, to her surprise; she heard yells, and she figured they were playing quidditch in the back of the yard. She didn't want to bother them so she walked up to the front stoop, and knocked on there wooden door. She heard Mrs. Weasley coming to the door,
"Who is it?" she said unsure to trust or not to.
"It's Hermione Granger." Mrs. Weasley cracked the door, peeked out, and squeaked a little out of excitement. She opened the door all the way and grabbed Hermione into one of her famous bear hugs.
"Hermione! I'm so glad you could make it!" molly said as she let go of Hermione.
"Thanks I'm glad to be here, sorry for not warning you I was coming, it was….."
"O dear heavens don't be sorry, you're always welcome here, please, come inside." Hermione took the offer and stepped inside out of the warm breezy summer night. She loved the Burrow, it was her home, apart from Hogwarts and here parents house. "Arthur, look who changed her mind." She heard molly say. "So good to see you could make it dear, how are you?"
"I'm better now than I was."
"That's wonderful dear; would you like something to eat? We still have some food from dinner that I could heat up; o please set your bags down Arthur will take them up to Ginny's room. O Arthur tell the kids that Hermione's…"
"O if u don't mind, I wanna tell them myself Mrs. Weasley."
"Of course I don't mind dear."
"Thanks, and I think ill pass on the food, I just had something on the way here."
"Alright then, but are you sure, I mean we have all…."
"Molly, please don't pressure her, she'll just want to leave"
"O Arthur……" Molly went on. So Hermione set down her bags by the stairs went to the back door and looked out the window to find, Ginny, Ron, Harry, Fred, and George playing a game of qudditch. They looked so into the game, she almost didn't want to disturb them, but it was so hard to resist. Hermione opened the door and stepped outside onto the moist grass. She walked over to the picnic table and sat on it, waiting for someone to notice her. It took not even a second for Ginny to notice her, stopping in mid air, making George crashing into her, falling off his broom, and onto the lawn. Everyone turned to see what Ginny was staring at, when they hardly noticed her. Hermione hadn't told anyone how she had changed her looks, she wanted to surprise them, and boy did she. They all (including George who was sitting on the ground), had stopped there brooms and were staring right at her, mouths wide open in shock, with the exception of Ginny who was grinning like hell.
"Well this worked out perfectly" Hermione murmured to herself while smirking. Ginny was the first one to bring herself down back to the ground, as Hermione forwarded herself toward everyone. Ginny ran toward Hermione and hugged her.
"O MY GOD Hermione! You look fantastic! O MY GOD you do and your here!" Ginny yelled while taking another look at the new improved Hermione. At that point Ron had fallen off his broom.
"Thanks Ginns, I didn't want you to have all the fun this year."
"I'm sooo glad you decided that." Ginny replied. All the guys just sat on there broom, and on the ground, starring, it was starting to annoy her, but she figured she had to get use to it.
"You know you guys could say hi instead of starring at my boobs!" Hermione yelled at them, like Ginny, grinning like hell.
"Hermione?" Ron questioned unsure.
"Ronald?" she retorted.
"Is that really you?"
"No its Frankenstein," Ginny looked puzzled "muggle thing." She explained.
"Wow, you look incredible."
"Yah you really do." Harry joined in finally, along with Fred, on the ground. Ginny shot Harry a what-the-hell-did-you-say kind of look. Ron just stood there, obviously upset and furious with himself for breaking up with her.
"Thanks guys. You look pretty damn well yourselves." Adding the last part because it was true, Ron, Harry, Fred, and George all had there shirts off, showing off there sexy, well sculpted abbs, proving that qudditch, does really do the body good.
"Not as good as you." George commented
"Like hell that's true." Fred rejoiced. She sat back on the table, and responded,
"Like I said thanks." And there they were all starring again. Thank god Ginny said something to break the silence as she joined Hermione on the table.
"So, what made you change your mind?" She didn't know what to say, she had not one thing planned to say. So she lied.
"I just needed to get out of there, I love being there, you know with all the memories and everything, but Mike just started to get on my nerves."
"I'm glad you changed your mind. We really missed you here." Harry said, while Ginny nodded in agreement, as Ron said yea. And there again was another awkward silence (well awkward for Hermione, as she was being starred at again), until Fred broke it this time.
"So are you staying the rest of the summer?"
"Yea most likely, I don't really want to go back there, not to stay for the rest of the summer anyway." She loved Fred and George they were amazing, funny, intelligent, and very underestimated by everyone.
"Oi, 'ermione!" yelled the familiar veela voice. She turned around and there stood the beautiful French, Fleur Delacour.
"Fleur! O my god its soo good to see you! You look wonderful."
"O it's even better tzo see 'ou, and look at 'ou, 'ou look great, better zan me by a mile. If 'ou weren't going out with Ron, here, 'ou would have all zee guys in Hogwarts." Hermione turned around to glare at Ron and than replied, looking strait at Ron's blushing sorrowful face,
"Yea by the looks of this lot, I guess I would." She turned back at fleur as they gave each other a graceful hug. Her and Fleur had been getting along better ever since the end of the last Hogwarts year.
"Well I just came out here, to 'zay 'ello to 'ou, but now I must get back to 'elping Molly. Zee 'ou around."
"See ya!" Hermione responded at Fleur, now at the house. She turned around to see all the guyz staring at her ass and Ginny shaking her head giggling as she knew this was going to be the best year at Hogwarts. Ginny had gotten promoted into the 7th grade, as she had gotten so many owls, Harry was staying to finish his final year at Hogwarts, but was still going to look more into Voldemorts past to try to find all the horcruxes, she was going to make Ron pay for braking up with her, and in return she would get all the guys in Hogwarts to help, without even asking.
"Honestly, you all have girlfriends don't you?" Hermione said taking the first step of revenge.
"Nope, Angelina and I broke up." Fred said with a strait face.
"Alicia and I to." George said sorrowfully, he was going out with Alicia spinet for atleast four months.
"O you guys I'm so sorry, I didn't know."
"That's alright, were not sorry." George said with a smirk.
Hermione and Ginny giggled, when Hermione started again, "well than I guess it's just you Harry." Guessing that knowone else knew about Ginny and him.
"If you're not counting Ron." Harry added
"Why would I count Ron, has he already gotten someone that quickly?" she asked, she knew that Ron was enough of a prat not to tell anyone yet, so she decided to make everyone feel extra sorry for her, and pitty Ron.
"Wow I didn't realize your memory was that bad Mione." Fred stated sarcastically cute. "Because apparently you've forgotten that you're going out with the lucky bloke." Hermione looked over at Ron and replied skeptically.
"Oh dear, so he hasn't told you guys yet?"
"Told us what?" this time Ginny speaking up.
"Nothing, we'll talk about it…….."
"Dear Ronald here broke up with me earlier, though I thought he would've told you something so important." They all said "what?" practically in unionson and this time the looks were at Ron, and they were shocked looks of horror. Hermione just stood there grinning at Ron while he stood there blushing once again.
"What the bloody hell is your problem Ron? I mean all you used to talk about was Hermione, and now………….you brake up with her!" Ginny yelled, and there went that Weasley temper all of them had.
"Why I mean look at her?" this time yelled by George.
"Look, it just wasn't working out for me, and I sure as hell wouldn't have broken up with her if I would've seen her like this!" Hermione stood there shocked, had he broken up with her because she was not pretty enough for him?
"What? Wait just one fucking minuet, you broke up with me because I wasn't pretty enough for you?"
"No that's not it at all, that's not what I meant at all." Heads were turning back and forth as Ron and Hermione argued.
"Well that's what it sure as hell sounds like!"
"No it's just……"
"Kids, time to come in, its after dark!" Mr. Weasley yelled. Hermione just stood there glaring at Ron, she couldn't believe him, he was acting like a fucking bastard treating her like she was his bitch.
"Um, we should probably go inside now." Fred said after a few seconds of silence and glaring.
"Yea erm, good idea Fred." George said. Fred and George started to walk off when Ginny pulled on Hermione's arm.
"Come on, we'll talk about it in my room." so she followed Ginny back to the Burrow after much hesitation, while Ron stayed behind with Harry. She heard them talking but couldn't make out what they were saying exactly.
"I cannot fucking believe him, saying something that like, and in front of me! I mean who does he think he is, treating me like that, its not as if he can get anyone he wants, sure lavender, but she's just boy crazy. God you know what, I think I'm gonna go back there and tell him what I think right now!" Hermione went on and on while walking down the cobblestone walkway. Ginny grabbed Hermione on the shoulder as just as she was about to turn around.
"Mione please, calm down. I'm sure that's not what he meant at all, trust me, he did love you and I have no clue why he would brake up with you, but I know for a fact that it was not because you weren't pretty enough, I mean you already had half the guys in 6th year ready to ask you out, but they all knew that you had something going on with Ron. Trust me Mione, I know. So come on lets go up to the house, and we can sit in my room or where ever you want and talk, okay?" Hermione just stood there thinking it all over in her head, while Ginny stood there waiting for an answer.
"Alright, I guess your right; I did get alittle out of hand. Let's go."
"Thank god I was hoping for once in your entire lifetime would you admit that you weren't right." Ginny teased. Hermione smiled. She knew Ginny was right, she was always the one who was right, even if she wasn't.
