"Is he going to be there?"

"Probably. It is a family event and he is family."

"I think I might be working."

"Hermione, you can't just keep avoiding him. Eventually you'll have to face these feeling. Face the fact you and him, you just didn't work out."

"I know, Harry. I know the break up was mutual, but I'm just not ready yet. Did you give him the box I gave you?"

"Yes, I did. He said he doesn't have that book. You must have left it somewhere else. Do you still have his jumper? The maroon one? He wants it back."

"It's buried in the closet I think. Can I give it to you?"

"No, you need to face him yourself. I'm not your messenger, Hermione."

"I'm sorry for putting you in the middle of things, Harry. Maybe I can make it to dinner next time."

"Ginny's been asking about you. She said you missed Luna's baby shower. I know Ron wasn't there. Are you avoiding all of us?"

"No, of course not. I was ill. I sent her a letter and lovely set of baby books."

"I think Ginny misses you, I'm sure Luna does too. It's not either of their faults that things didn't work out between you and Ron. I think the only reason I even see you is because we work in the same building."

"Totally different floors, different departments."

"Hermione, tell me the truth, are you avoiding us?"

"Of course not, it's just... Ginny remind me of Ron, I know, I know, it's stupid. I know we just didn't work out, but that's still several years of my life I'm not going to get back. Years that could have been spent better."

"You two were happy for a while."

"We pretended to be, Harry. We never really made each other happy, not the way it seemed. Maybe I can make the next party? I've got to get back to work. I'll see you Thursday."

"You can't keep this up forever, but take the time you need, I guess. See you Thursday."
