Chapter One: An Unhappy Marriage

Hermione Weasley stood over the stove, sweating as she cooked breakfast for her husband. Today was her and Ron's one year wedding anniversary and she wanted to make it a special day for both of them. She had decided to make it a day full of small surprises, beginning with a surprise breakfast and ending with dinner at one of their favourite restaurants.

'I really hope Ron enjoys this. He used to love it when I cooked for him. I wonder if he has anything planned for us today. He has work but there is always tonight,' Hermione thought.

As Hermione continued to think while cooking, Ron entered the kitchen, dressed in his work robes and looking frantic.

"'Mione, have you seen my wand?"

"Yes, its right over there on the table."

"Thanks," he said, not even taking notice of the large breakfast that Hermione had taken all morning to prepare for him.

While Ron was bent over the table, gathering his work things, Hermione came behind him, wrapping her arms around him. Moving to face the front of him, she went to give him a kiss, but the kiss was ruined when he moved his head abruptly, causing Hermione to kiss his chin rather than his lips.

"Sorry love but I have to go. I'm late as it is."

"But I cooked you all of this. And don't you know what today is? It's our anniversary," Hermione said, trying hard not to cry at her unrecognised efforts.

"Oh! I forgot all about that. But honestly, I really am late and I have a big meeting today," he said, heading towards the door with Hermione following after him.

"Well will you at least be around for dinner? I booked us reservations at Stella Café, your favourite."

"I can't make it. I have tickets for a Quidditch match tonight and I am supposed to be given an award for all my hard work for helping the players with their training."

"But-"

"Sorry love. Maybe tomorrow," And with that Ron left, leaving his wife behind in an apron covered with pancake batter and tears.

The rest of the day, Hermione sat around, hoping that Ron would show up and surprise her. She hoped that he had been joking with her when he said all those things that he had said but by 9:00 that night, Ron had still not showed his face at home. Hermione attempted to cheer herself up. She tried to read some of her books, and worked at preparing lessons for when she returned to Hogwarts in September to teach Transfiguration but nothing helped.

After trying everything she could and failing, Hermione decided to call it a night. By 10:00, she was in bed, crying herself to sleep.

"Hermione. Wake up."

Hermione grumbled and turned over.

"Hermione! Im serious! It's important!"

Hermione opened her eyes and saw her redheaded best friend.

"What is it Gin? What could be so important that you would have to wake me up in the middle of the night?"

"Hermione, I honestly don't know how to tell you this."

"Just say it already! It won't do me any good if you drag it out."

"I am so sorry Hermione. Ron is dead."

A/N: So….what do you think so far? I really like it so far but yea…that doesn't mean everyone else will lol. Anyway I just wanted to let you all know that it probably won't be a very long story. I don't plan on making it any more than 5 chapters. Oh, and the chapters will be very short so yea…review! I would love to get feedback on this! And if you haven't read it yet, go read my other fan fiction: It's An Odd World (new chapters will be posted soon!).
