-You and Me, and Everyone Else-

Recap: "We both know that you love me and I love you ―"

"Of course. I adore you." Ron said cutting her off.

"But―"

"But!" Ron said dropping her hand in shock. "'Mione, what's wrong?"

"Ron, I don't think we should be together anymore."

Chapter 2: A New Side of Ron

"You what?" Ron said bewildered. "I can't believe this!" He stood up and started pacing back and forth in front of the fire agitatedly, his face reddening with rage.

"Ron…Listen to me, I―"

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!" Ron bellowed, madness in his eyes.

Ron's actions began to change, becoming more violent as each second passed.

"Ron I know this is hard for you…" Hermione said attempting to soothe him "but you have to calm do―"

Hermione was alarmed and ran to the opposite side of the room, as Ron knocked over the huge stack of books on the table sending them flying in all directions. He was furious.

Hermione began to get scared; she had never seen Ron this aggressive and violent. She reached into her pocket, trying to find her wand. To her disappointment, her wand lay on the floor below the couch, dropping it when she dashed to the opposite side of the room.

Suddenly a strong hard gripped and twisted her wrist, not letting go. Hermione looked up and saw Ron's face. He'd gone mad.

"Ron… Let go of me. You're hurting me" Hermione said tears welling up in her eyes.

Ron just tightened his grip even more. " You are NOT breaking up with Me. Do you hear me!" Twisting Hermione's arm to almost 360ْ.

Hermione's face was drenched in her tears.

"ANSWER ME!" Ron bellowed.

She nodded weakly.

Ron let go of her and turned around.

Hermione supported her wrist, not wanting to bend it due to the intense pain.

Just then a painful slap met her right cheek.

"Take that. So you'll remember to think twice about doing something that stupid." Ron said with spite.

Just as Ron turned around a fist hit him squarely on the jaw. Ron fell in a heap on the floor.

"Hermione. Oh gods… What has he done to you?" he asked.

Hermione cried even more as she hugged him tightly.
