Hiya! Wow I can't believe that I'm onto the next chapter hope you enjoy.

Hermione sat crouched on an arm chair next to the fire. Guilt, Dread swept over her. What had she been thinking? Fred? Fred? He was far too old for her, but I can't deny I had feelings her conscience told her. What have I done? A thousand questions flooded her mind. She needed someone to talk to. Harry and Ron would certainly not speak to her and Fred. Well she wasn't quite sure about that. Once Ron had turned up Fred obviously was curious. He hadn't been at Hogwarts, he didn't know the troubles Hermione had been through. Naturally he asked questions and she had to explain the events. Hermione was quite disappointed with his reaction he just told her he'd see her later. She just needed a friend. At last she finally decided to go find Fred. Just as she thought this the portrait swung open and Fred came and found her.

Approaching Hermione Fred nervously spoke "Hermione we need to talk."
Glad that Fred had brought the subject up Hermione seized the opportunity to tell someone her feelings. "Oh Fred. I'm so glad you said that. I need to talk to someone…. a friend."
"Stop," Fred interrupted. "Don't you'll just make it worse." With this Hermione knew it was nothing cheerful. "I think your great and all that but. It's Ron. Hermione he really likes you and you know that and I do. I just can't get in the way…."
"But……"
"I'm sorry." He interrupted once more. "I know Ron's angry. But apologise he can't stay angry forever. I've got to go. It was great seeing you and we can still be friends but I must leave. You belong with Ron ...and me…."

"Fred," A girl's voice called."Angelina." Hermione finished the sentence for him.
"See you around," Fred departured without another word.
Hermione waited until he was out of sight and buried her face in her hands and sobbed uncontrollably.

"Hermione," A soft voice called. "Why are you crying?" She looked up Ginny. Hermione let out a sigh of relief. Finally a friend who would understand. WHAM. Ginny's hand collided with Hermione's face. "CAUSE IT SHOULD BE MY BROTHERS WHO ARE! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? MESIIING WITH THEIR LIVES LIKE THAT! I THOUGHT YOU WERE NICE!" Ginny screamed and stormed up to her dormitory.

That was it Hermione had no friends. She touched the place where Ginny slapped her and burst into tears. Despair was her only friend.

Aw I feel kinda sorry for Hermione (though she's not my creation she's J.Ks) Please Please Please REVIEW. Thanks!
