Change

Hermione's POV

I look at the door of my old flat. I knew fro a fact that Ron lived there now, but I still didn't know how he would react. First I would have to explain to him who I am, why I said no, and why I'm back. All three being reasons he would hate.

Summoning up the Gryfinndor courage I had, I knocked on the door.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

God dammit open the damn door!

Crash!

"Hold on a sec!"

That's Ron's voice, but what was the crash?

"Hello?"

I saw the familiar face of Ronald Billius Weasly, but no rush of feelings came toward me like they did when I was in a room with Draco. But who was that in the background?

"Lavender Brown?"

Last I heard of her was when I left the country. Despite what everybody though of her, she was truly a nice person and we had kept in touch until I left, not contacting her since. She was a reporter for the Daily Prophet, and much more reliable then the old hag Rita Skeeter.

Ron whips his head around, and looked back at me, "we're dating, who are you?"

That's the Ron I know! The one that talk before he thinks!

"Um, I'm an old friend."

"Good Godric, is that you!?"

I look at Lavender who was a surprised expression on her face, but it morphed into one of pure glee, and she shoved Ron out of the way as she scooped me into a big hug.

"Hermione, oh.. I've missed you so much!"

I laugh ever so slightly, and hug her back.

"I missed you to Lav."

When she stepped back from me, she gave me a good look before opening her mouth, only to be cut off my Ron.

"Wait, do I know you?"

"Yes Ron, how do not recognize her, well yeah she looks different. a lot, but it's clearly her!"

He looked, at me. squinted at me, and assessed me, and when I finally though he recognized me..

"Nah, never seen her before."

"Bloody hell Ron, it's Hermione!"

"Her, Hermione?"

"Hello Ron."

He stood there, mouth agape, "well if you're just going to stand there like that, I'll just give you this, and we can catch up later."

I hand him the invitation, and his eyes widen.

I chuckle, and decide to leave the apparent couple be, saying goodbye to a confused Lavender and a speechless Ron, I shut the door behind me, hoping Ron will come around soon.

A/N So there's only one chapter left, then the really, really, really short epilogue. I'm really sad that this story is almost over. And does it confuse people if i say Hermione's POV instead of Harmony's? Let me know, if it does I'll change it. Anyways, I won't try to get the next chapter up early just because I need to finish my new story, and I was sick today so I didn't get anything done.

Much love
