Hermione wasn't sure how or when, but some how she ended up at the Burrow. Hermione looked around and saw Ron coming out the front door.
"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed, happy to see her friend.
"Hermione? What are you doing-" but was interrupted by a big hug from Hermione, "here?" Ron finished when Hermione let him go. Ron saw tears in her eyes. "Hey 'Mione you okay?" Ron asked. "No." Hermione said, her voice breaking as she sat down. Her tears welled up, and she tried to blink them away, but was unsuccessful. "I don't know what happened!" Hermione had tears running down her face, but Ron didn't seem to notice. "I mean, my life was perfect, I have great friends," Hermione said, subduing sobs every so often. "I mean, they would argue once in a while, but still…" Hermione broke into a heart wrenching sob. At least it would have wrenched Ron's heart, if he had one.
"Uh, Hermione?" Ron looked at Hermione as if she had gone mad.
"Hmmm?" Hermione asked, looking at Ron while trying to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"What are you talking about?" Ron asked.
"Haven't you been listening?" Hermione asked angrily, "My parents are getting a divorce Ron!" Hermione starred at Ron.
"So?" "So they will no longer live together Ronald." Hermione screamed at him. Hermione was standing now, starring at Ron, who had a confused look on his face.
"But don't they live together forever, eternally bonded to each other?" Asked Ron, still confused.
Hermione sighed, "No Ron, they don't have a wizard marriage, they have a muggle marriage, therefore they can get a divorce and live apart." Hermione said.
Ron was about to say something else, when Mrs.Weasley appeared on the front lawn. "Hermione!" She said, rushing over to the brown haired girl. "It's so good to see you." She snatched the girl up, giving her a warm hug. "Come on inside, we were just about to sit down to supper."
Hermione smiled warmly up at her. Leave it to Molly to make a situation better. Hermione let herself be led into the house as Molly said, "Ronald be a dear and grab Hermione's bags."
Mrs.Weasley went about quickly fixing food and talking about miscellaneous things about her day and things that the boys had been doing. While Hermione sat there at the table thinking about how worried her parents must be and how much she realized she would be in trouble if not with her parents but also with Mrs.Weasley for running away from home.
Hermione was pulled out of her thoughts by Mrs.Weasley addressing her personally. "Oh Hermione, incase you're wondering" which she wasn't "Mr.Weasley will be home later. He's working late at the Ministry."
Soon the dining room was filled with the laughter of the twins, and the groans of Ronald, as he had apparently been the target of a red head prank. This of course made Hermione happy, thinking that Ron was finally getting what he deserved.
When Mr.Weasley Finally got home he looked pretty exhausted to Hermione. "Hello everyone." Mr.Weasley said. There was an echo of "hello" From everyone at the table.
Mr.Weasley looked around the table and stopped when his eyes fell onto Hermione. "Well looks like we have a guest." He said looking at Molly. "Why was I not told that she was coming?" He asked. "Well we didn't even know she just showed up at the house this afternoon." said Mrs.Weasley. "Oh well welcome Hermione, your always welcome in this house." said Mr.Weasley smiling. "Thank you." Hermione said putting on a fake smile that no one seemed to notice.
Hermione is again lost in her thoughts as the Weasley's go on about what happened that day. As Hermione sits there she doesn't really touch her food very much. Hermione stares at her plate until she hears Mr.Weasley talk about what happened at work.
"So it was a pretty normal day today and then Dumbledore walks in with fudge and they seem to be in deep conversation when they walk over to me. And they started talking to me." Said Mr.Weasley. "About what?" asked Mrs.Weasley. "Well first they just said hi and asked me how I was and I said that I was fine and then Dumbledore just out of the blue says 'Oh you might want to tell Molly that you will have company tonight.' And just like that and then he and Fudge just walk away." said Mr.Weasley. "And then I didn't think about it the rest of the day and then I get home and here is Hermione a guest."
"Typical." Hermione mumbled looking down. And when she looked up she saw that everyone was looking at her. "Is there something you wanted to say?" asked Molly Weasley. "Well not really, it just seems that Dumbledore always knows what is going to happen but never lets anyone else know. Kind of like he holds all the cards but never deals out the whole deck, … so to speak." said Hermione.
Everyone's jaw dropped. Was this really Hermione? They could only hope that is wasn't. Mrs.Weasley was the first to regain her composer. "What do you mean?" hoping that she had heard wrong.
"Well," said Hermione trying to think of what to say. "Like with Harry for example why didn't Dumbledore tell him about the chamber of secrets I mean come on like he didn't know. And Like when Sirius went to prison Dumbledore could have stopped that to but did he, no of course not. And every year Dumbledore tells Harry something new I mean why not tell him everything at once it would make more sense. And didn't he ever tell Harry that Sirius was his god-father; he had to learn from snooping around and listening in on other people's conversations. He knows more then he tells anyone but you know, heaven forbid that he tell everyone what they need to know. That's what I mean when I say that he holds all the cards but won't deal out the whole deck."
When Hermione stopped you would think that the world would end because she had just said what she thought about Dumbledore.
It was very quiet for a few moments and Hermione could swear that you could've heard a pin if it had dropped. No one would talk for several seconds creating a very ere silence.
Mrs. Weasley finally broke the silence. "Hermione Granger how dare you say that about Albus Dumbledore!" She said angrily.
Hermione had only heard her use that tone with the twins but never with her. Hermione became mad that she was being scolded for saying what she thought.
"Well you were the one who wanted me to elaborate on what I meant, and then you get mad at me for speaking my mind and telling you what I think." Hermione retorted. Ferocious that she was being yelled at.
"Well Now I wish I hadn't, and if you are going to stay here I refuse to listen to you talk about Dumbledore like that!" Molly Weasley said with more anger than the twins or Ron had ever heard her use.
"Fine!" said Hermione. Which made Molly smile until Hermione stood up and threw the napkin that had been on her lap on her plate.
"I will just leave then. I'm an adult so I don't have to put up with this." Hermione said. Pulling out her wand and walking to the door.
"And where will you go?" asked Molly thinking that Hermione had no where else to go.
Hermione stopped and turned to look at Molly Weasley. "I'm going to Harry's house." Hermione enounced to everyone in the room.
And with that Hermione said a quick spell and she walk out the door with her trunk and bags floating along behind her.
Harry sat at the table with the Dursley's and listened as Dudley made up a story about him and his "friends", who Harry knew as Dudley's gang, saved an old lady that day. Harry silently snorted at Dudley's story and thought that it was funny that Aunt Petunia and uncle Vernon believed Dudley.
Then Harry heard a loud knock on the Dursley's door, but decided to just sat there. He looked at everyone at the table and realized they were waiting for him to get the door.
"What? Its not like I'm the only person whose legs work." Harry said.
Annoyed Uncle Vernon got up and went to the door. And Harry could just hear him mumbling something like 'lazy no good child'. Harry silently laughed at his uncle.
As Harry sat there he heard his uncle open the door and say 'hello' and thinking it was a neighbor Harry was about to think about other things when he heard "Harry Potter? There is no one here by that name." It was his uncle's voice. He then heard a female sarcastic laugh and a female voice say "You don't expect me to believe that do you?"
That voice Harry knew that voice. Harry jumped up from that table and when he got to the hallway he saw a very frustrated Hermione talking to his uncle.
"Move." Hermione told his uncle.
"NO!" His uncle said.
Hermione sighed and pulled out her wand and pointed it at Uncle Vernon "Move NOW!" Hermione said.
Uncle Vernon said "Your just like him one of those freaks!" But as he said it he slowly backed up to let her in. Hermione keep her wand pointed at Vernon and said as if she actually liked him, "be a dear and grab my bags will you!" Hermione smiled a fake smile that quickly faded. "NOW, if you don't mind!"
Uncle Vernon went and grabbed her bags and brought them inside. Hermione closed the door when he finally got in with all her bags.
"Now please take those bags up to Harry's room." Hermione said.
Glaring at the wand Uncle Vernon said, "Can't you just use that little stick?"
"Yes I could," said Hermione "but then I couldn't watch you do it, now could I."
Uncle Vernon grunted as he picked up the bags as Hermione said something like 'come on now'. Hermione started to follow Uncle Vernon but stopped and looked over at Harry and for the first time since she got there she had a smile on her face.
Hermione smiled as she said, "Well aren't you coming Harry?"
Harry smiled at Hermione, and walked over to the stairs and followed Hermione and Uncle Vernon upstairs to his room.
Well I don't know I liked this chapter. Well make me happy little girl and review and tell me if you liked it.
