A/N: Alright guys, sorry I didn't update sooner what with finals and three projects to finish I didn't get much time to work on fan fiction. This story is kind of winding down just to let you know.

"Hermione?" asked Ginny who sat on her bed closing a spell book that she had been looking over for summer home work. Hermione sat on her camp bed, brushing her curly hair (which did rid the tangles but made her hair much bushier than normal).

"Hmm?" Hermione said as she looked at hew younger friend.

"I don't err mean to butt in or anything but you looked pretty upset earlier and I was wondering if you were ok."

Hermione put down her brush and looked at Ginny more closely. She saw a bit of worry in the girls face, which Ginny was doing her best to hide but it wasn't working. She hated that people were always worrying about her now more than ever. It wasn't that she didn't like it or anything like that. She would perhaps be more upset it she thought that no one cared. She just didn't want to be a burden. She didn't want people to loose sleep over her, to wonder what was wrong because it was obvious that their was something wrong.

"If you don't want to tell me Hermione its fine. But I'm here if you need me"

Hermione forced a smile "Ginny I'm quite alright"

"If you say so" Ginny said crawled into her covers. She blew out the small candle in the bedside table and the room was engulfed in darkness. Hermione knew Ginny wasn't a dull girl, in fact it was just the opposite. Hermione knew if she didn't get her act together soon then her best female friend would know of her habit and she would have another Weasley watching her actions more closely then usual, looking for anything most people would call unusual.

--The POV of Ronald--

Is Hermione better?

She seems alright.

It's been a few days since we talked last and about a week since I found out that she had been cutting again, but I don't know… should I go talk to her? What if she gets mad? What if she thinks I'm accusing her of cutting again? I wouldn't do that unless I noticed blood on her clothes or something well maybe not but I would then at least check to see if she was ok…

Ron sat up in a tree over looking the Barrow. No one knew he was up their. Down below he could see His little sister and Hermione near the house. Ginny was trying to teach Hermione how to knit. To be honest Hermione wasn't doing too well with the yarn. Ron watched the two girls, Hermione in particular. As he looked down his thought continued to drift.

Hermione seems to be enjoying her self. She's smiling a lot. I guess I forgot what is was like to see her toothy grin. She's a lot prettier when she smiles. She's not ugly when she frowns she just looks a bit plain I guess. But man is she pretty when she smiles. What?--what? Am I falling for my best friend? No, it can't be. I mean she's…she's Hermione. She is like a sister. Well maybe not but, well -gah- now I'm confused. And I still don't know if I should talk to her. I hope she's ok.

"Arthur have you found out about the cup yet, I'm sure Harry's family would like some notice before was invite him."

The Weasleys and Hermione sat around the breakfast table. Molly was at the stove pointing her wand at the sausage in the frying pan, making turn over so that it was fully cooked. Ron and the twins ears perked up at the sound of the quid ditch world cup. Hermione sat in between Ron and Ginny. She looked over to Ginny who seemed to look excited also.

"Yeah Dad did Bagman get the tickets yet?" asked one of the twins.

"Well the cup is on the 25thand its funny you should mention it. Just yesterday he said we should be getting them some time this week "

"I'm going to have to send an owl to Harry's family letting them know our plans"

"Um-Mrs. Weasley you might not want to send it by owl. Their muggles you know and they might not be exactly use to our kind of post" said Hermione

"Oh good thinking dear, I wouldn't want to upset them."

So Hermione went on to tell Mrs. Weasley the proper way to address the envelope and things like that. "After it's sealed you need to take it in to town and drop it off at the post office or in a mail box. Oh and it will need stamp, but I'm not quite sure how many. You can by stamps at the post office or in grocery store or someplace like that. They will tell you how many you need if you go the post office."

A/N: Sorry I haven't updated for a while. Sorry this chapter is so short. I guess I kinda have writers block and am not quite sue how to end the story how I want while keeping close to cannon and the beginning of the forth book. I sorta wanna do my story justice and not end it just to end it. I will eventually end just up a story alert if u wanna know what happens later. I would also like to thank all my loyal reviewers. And if anyone could give me any ideas I would appreciate it greatly.
