Hello, peoples! I got bored with my other story, so I decided to write this!

Disclaimer: If you think Harry Potter belongs to me, you apparently didn't take your pills this morning.

Chapter One: Prologue

Hermione couldn't do this any longer. She was falling apart, bit by bit. Doing this to him, and to herself, was the worst feeling she'd ever had.

After Harry defeated Voldemort in the summer between the trio's sixth and seventh year, Hermione and Ron had finally gotten together. But soon after, Hermione realized she didn't love him as a boyfriend, just a friend.

Even though she knew she had to end it, she was afraid that he would always be mad at her. She wanted more than anything for them to still be friends. But it was hurting them more to be together.

"Ron," Hermione said, walking into the compartment where he sat. "We need to talk."

"Okay," he answered.

She took a deep breath, "I think we should break up."

"WHAT?"

"Ron, I don't love you as a boyfriend. I want us to still be friends, but I can't keep lying to myself. I can't keep believing that I love you like that."

"Hermione you can't."

"Yes, I've made up my mind. I still want to be friends. Like before."

"You break my heart and still expect me to be your friend. Yeah, right."

Hermione was close to tears.

"If that's the way you feel." With that, she turned away and walked out of the compartment, not knowing that she was walking away from her old life.

Okay, yes, not much, but it tells you a lot, yes?
