Chapter 4

The tears of a Granger

"Hermione? Hermione dear, are you okay, I mean you've been in there for quite a long time," said Lavender as she knocked the door of Hermione's restroom. Lavender stopped knocking and turned around and looked at Parvati, who had her arms folded. "Face it, she's not coming out, please take good care of her, I really need to send to boys home, they look sleepy."

"Sure, I'll try to get her eat her dinner, you go ahead, bye," said Parvati. Lavender and her twins waved goodbye to Parvati.

Parvati had been really worried of Hermione. She was crying her eyes out since Harry had talked to her. What did Harry said? What caused Hermione to cry?

"Oh, God, I'm going to get a headache after this," Parvati sighed. She went to the kitchen carefully as she can. She didn't want to get tired again from walking. Parvati took out a glass and poured milk into it. She looked at her tummy. Her baby had surely grew. Parvati smiled as she thought of having a baby. Dean and herself had always wished for a baby. They got their wish.

"It's going to be a girl too. This is gonna be so much fun!" said Parvati.

"What are you blabbering about?" asked Hermione who looked horrible with her messy hair and her big denim shirt. Looks like somebody really sobbed her way into the closet Parvati thought.

"Oh, nothing, how about you?" asked Parvati. Hermione shake her head. "What's wrong, Hermione? You look awful."

"It's Ron."

"Him again? What did he do this time?"

"He's going to stay at Asia for another five months."

"I'm so sorry, Hermione. Maybe we should change the subject," said Parvati. "I always wanted to know where you got that necklace."

Parvati pointed at Hermione's silver necklace that had charms of Rs and Hs.

"Ron gave it to me, for Christmas," said Hermione. "He said that even though he didn't liked me as a girlfriend, he'll like me as a friend and he wanted me to wear this necklace in symbol of our ….friendship."

"That's sweet," said Parvati. "Dean never got me anything except three paintings that showed his feelings for me. I'm telling you, one day, I'm going to steal his brushes. Everything he does, he does it with painting. I have to go, Dean's probably worried right now. Probably painting a picture titled 'I worry'

Hermione laughed and hugged her friend goodbye.

"Try to get over Ron, and eat your dinner, it's getting cold," Parvati whispered to her ear.

Hermione sighed as she watched Parvati apparate back to her house. She could never get over Ron. She knew that, but Ron had crossed the line. She needed someone else. Anybody. Of course!

Hermione quickly grabbed her phone and dialed her mother's number.

"Hello, Grangers resident, France Granger speaking," said Mrs. Granger.

"Mum, it's me, Hermione, I wanted to talk to you for a while," said Hermione.

In awe, Mrs. Granger put down her phone. She could not believe what her young daughter had said.

"Who's that?" asked Mr. Granger.

"It was Hermione. She said that, well, she said that she would be willing to go on a date with your patient's son, for some odd reasons," said France.

"Really? Well that's a relief, I've been trying to get her going out on a date with Robert for a long time. Since she was eighteen," said Mr. Granger as he got into the bed.

"Matt, doesn't this surprise you? I thought Hermione liked Ron, " said France.

"That boy with the weird father? Yes but maybe she changed her mind," said Matt.

"Maybe, I have to go talk to her," said France.

"Do what you want to do, it's your job to get your nose in her business," yawned Matt and off he went to sleep.

Ron woke up from a long sleep. He was in an airplane heading to Singapore, then Malaysia. He looked to his left and saw Ludo Bagman, his mentor. At his right he saw a young Asian man who had black hair, just like Ron's friend, Harry. Oh how he missed Harry and his friends back at home.

Ron would have sworn that he could have booked a flight back to London but his life career was at stake here. He needed to learn from Bagman. The truth was that Ron actually had taken the job as the Head of the Department of Magical Sports and Games. It took him a while to find out that he didn't know what he was doing and decided to learn from the ex-head.

Ludo Bagman had escaped from the clutches of the goblins and ran away to China, where he disguised as a Parisian businessman, trying to make an honest living at China. Ron was forced to follow him everywhere Ludo went. He had almost learned everything from the ex-beater but knew there were still gaps that needed to be filled with more knowledge.

And there he was, on an airplane, going to Singapore. Ron looked older than when he was seventeen. He had grew a foot taller and had looked more like a his father. He was still very handsome. He had actually attracted two Chinese ladies and one Parisian man on his journey with Ludo. The man had scared him.

Ron knew that the only one that he would ever have feelings for was Hermione Granger but Ron wasn't really sure of this. He and Hermione had a lot of fights together. That would be very bad for their relationship. Ron sighed. How can he be so stupid?

Make a choice Ronald! Be a man for once in your life. Well, that wasn't really nice. I'm your conscience, I'm supposed to be rude.

His conscience is right. He needs to make a decision!...right after he takes off Mr. Bagman and the Asian boy's heads off his shoulders.
