Chapter 3
The Golden Trio left the Great Hall in a daze. Hermione looked to be on the verge of tears, and Harry had a puzzled look on his face.
"Do you suppose this is Voldemort's latest attack on Hogwarts?" He asked, perplexed.
"N-no w-why would he a-attack a S-slytherin? I thought Pansy was going to be a Death Eater?" Hermione answered, her voice shaking.
"Who bloody cares! They took my goddamn bloody food!" Ron huffed.
"Ronald stop being such a baby, and please don't swear in front of me!" Hermione scolded.
"BUGGER OFF HERMIONE I NEED MY FOOD AND YOU KNO-" BOOM! Hermione was full on balling now. Ron Weasely had just exploded. Right in front of her. She fell to her knees and began sobbing uncontrollably into her hands. Harry reached down and helped her to her feet.
"Let's go see Dumbledore. He'll know what to do." He whispered in her ear as he enveloped her in a warm hug. She nodded against his chest and they both started towards the Professor's office, to the sounds of students exploding in the front hall.
Hermione's POV
This has to be the most horrifying day of my life. I just saw my best friend explode right in front of me! Oh god. Ron's gone. He's gone. Oh god.
"Harry!" I screamed. "Ron's gone! Oh god this is the worst day of my life! What am I going to do!"
"Shh, Hermione it's okay. I understand. I know what you're going through." Harry whispered soothingly in my ear.
"No you don't understand! No one understands!" I wrenched away from his comforting embrace and collapsed against a wall.
"I don't understand? I DON'T UNDERSTAND! NEWSFLASH HERMIONE! HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND TO! FIRST MY PARENTS, THEN SIRIUS, NOW RON! I DON"T UNDERSTAND! NO I THINK IT"S YOU THAT DOENS"T UNDERSTAND! YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT IT:"S LIKE TO BE M-" BOOM! That just tears it. Harry just exploded. And there isn't a thing I can do about it. I curled into a ball and prayed that I would wake up from this nightmare, and soon.
