A.N. I don't own any of the Characters, ect. But I still wish I could borrow Tom and Daniel. ;)

"So how are you and Ginny doing?" Ron asked. This was usually a hard topic, but he was warming up to the fact that Ginny and Harry were dating and could deal with that. It was just she was his baby sister.

"Umm, Good…" Harry said. "I haven't seen you much this summer. What all did you do with Hermione?"

"Well after she moved out of her mom's house, Dee and her got an Apartment so I have been hanging there. Not too many exciting things happen in the muggle world though. How about you?" He asked.

"Yeah. Not much on that front either. I am just glad that I didn't have to stay with the Dursleys. Your mom is a doll by the way. She totally took wonderful care of me while I was at your house with Ginny. I need to buy her something, by the way."

"Mum does want a gift of any sort. You know that…" Ron said. "She isn't really picky, though if you really are gonna get her something. She loves cookbooks though."

"Okay." Harry said. "You want to play chess?" Ron nodded, so Harry brought out his chess set and started the match. After a few minutes of silence and concentration, Ron broke it.

"Harry, can we talk about Herms?" Ron asked Harry. He wanted to talk while Dee and Ginny were out. They just so happened to leave to find Hermione and hadn't returned yet, so he thought that this would be a perfect time.

Harry shot Ron a quizzical look, but agreed. "Sure, mate. What is botherin' ya. She sure has changed into a full blown hottie over the summer." He added.

"That's exactly it Harry… She changed." Ron said sadly, forgetting about the game entirely. "I feel like I don't know her anymore, even though I am with her all the time."

"It can't be that bad man. It's probably just a phase." Harry said, trying once again to comfort his friend

"No…it isn't. Ever since her dad died and her mom's boyfriend moved in and she moved out, she isn't the same loving Hermione. She lost part of herself. She isn't that innocent brown eyed, bushy haired, bookworm that we both love."

"Man, she went though a really hard time. She was destroyed. Her dad died. You know that was her hero. You just can't get over that. She probably feels betrayed my her mom too, for cheating on them with that guy and then him moving in the day after her father's funeral." Harry said.

"It's not just that. You see the way she dresses. Her language is horrible. She listens to Eminem and Good Charlotte. She has done a total turn… for the worst." He whispered the last part. "Frankly it scares me, Harry."

"I understand that you are worried about her, but you can't always protect her, Ron. It's Hermione. She knows what she is doing with her life, more than any of us. We can't just let little things like hair and cussing get to us. She'll get over it." Harry explained

"Harry, its just not the hair and cussing. It is the way she acts and portrays herself. We are breaking up…I can feel it in the way she kisses me. It's not a love, lust, or even like kiss any more…it's a habit kiss. She does it out of habit, I can tell she doesn't feel anything." Ron said pitifully

"Your crazy. I saw the way she kissed you before, on the platform. That was a real kiss. I wish you would chill out about this." Harry said exasperated.

"No it wasn't. She can fake other people, but you weren't receiving that kiss. You don't know what it feels like it love someone who doesn't love you back. She is totally changing and I can't stop her. I try but I can't. Soon enough, I will be in the way and she won't want me. I have seen it in her eyes. I am not good enough for her and she knows it." He said almost crying.

"I don't know why you are so against Hermione at this moment, but get over it. You are making her out to be some cheating whore that doesn't care about you. Well get over yourself, cuz she does care about you a lot, but you are so blind by the fact she looks different that you can't see it. You are being a hypocritical bastard, and you have no right to say that Hermione thinks that she is to good for you, cuz that isn't Hermione and she would NEVER think that." Harry yelled at Ron. "For the last time…LET IT GO…" Harry had heard this whole thing, one too many times over the summer. Ron would complain about how Hermione was this and that and her looks had changed her, and frankly he was sick of it. "I am sick of you accusing my best friend of being something she isn't!" Harry said and left the compartment.

Ron just put his head in his hands. 'My own best friend doesn't even see her changing…' He thought to himself.

Any ideas about future chapters and help would be totally appreciated…. Please review…it doesn't have to be long just tell me if ya liked it or not and what needs to change…well anways... I am gonna head.

Much Love!
