DISCLAIMER: I created nothing in this story. I'm just having fun with J.K. Rowling's characters from her books. I wish I was making the money from this that she has made from her books. But unfortunately I'm not...I'm just a college kid having some fun. :)
Monday morning at breakfast one of the school owls swooped down with a red envelope in front of Ginny Weasley. "Oh No! What have I done wrong to deserve a howler?" Ginny wondered. At the same time another school owl landed in front of Hermione with her mothers writing on it. "Ginny, you first, get it over with babe," Hermione said bracing herself for a nasty noise that sounded like Mrs. Weasley's voice. Ginny eased open the howler and braced herself to hear her mothers voice multiplied by ten.
"Virginia Weasley! What in Gods name are you doing in a relationship with another girl! This will not be tolerated. I dealt with your little fling with the Malfoy boy but I will not deal with this. If you continue with this type of relationship you will be coming home."
The howler burst into flames and burnt to ashes on the table. Ginny sat with her head hung down and tears in her eyes. She tried her hardest to avoid the stares from every person in the school. "Your turn Mione," Ginny whispered. Hermione opened the envelope.
Hermione:
We received a letter from a boy in your school named Malfoy. He said that he witnessed you kissing that little red head girl that you spend the end of the summers with. What is going on? If we find out that you're in a relationship with another girl you will be coming home forever. There will be no more Hogwarts for you. You will not be allowed to contact that little red head or any of your other friends ever again. I am so disappointed in you. Please write back as soon as possible.
Dad
Just then two more owls landed in front of Ginny. One had her fathers writing and the other Georges. "Ron open the one from George," Ginny said. Ginny opened the letter from her father and read it.
Ginny:
I'm sure you already know that your mother is very upset and disappointed with you. I'm not exactly happy about your choice of relationship, but I'm willing to accept it because I love you. You're my daughter and you always will be. I'm going to take a wild guess that the girl is Hermione. I'm going to try to talk to your mother and make her see that if she pulls you from Hogwarts that she is going to push you away. I love you baby.
Love always,
Dad
Ginny almost cried when she read the letter from her dad. "That wasn't so bad, It doesn't look like Fred and George are to upset either Gin. Listen," Ron said. He read the letter from Fred and George:
Ginny,
WAY TO GO GIRL! You landed yourself a hot babe huh? Is it Hermione? We'll talk some sense into Mum. Don't worry about it. We'll always love you and you'll always be our baby sister. If you need anything just send an owl.
Love,
Fred and George
The letter from Fred and George made her chuckle. However she was still depressed. She kept her fingers crossed that they could all talk some sense into her mom and make her accept her for who she is. She also hoped that with time Hermione would still be allowed to be at her house during summer break.
Hermione decided that it was best not to let her parents wait to long to hear a response from her. She retrieved a piece of parchment and quill from her bag and began to write.
Dad,
I wish I could tell you that what Draco said was not true. I wish I was not an honest person and I could lie to you to remain here at Hogwarts longer than the next few days. I am begging you not to pull me out. I would just die if I had to leave the wizard world.
Hermione
On the way to their first class all eyes were on Ginny and Hermione. Everyone seemed to know that the girl Ginny was with was Hermione. Ginny hated herself for being interested in Malfoy and made a mental note to personally kill the little bastard. During Herbology a first year came in and requested that Hermione Granger was to go to Dumbledore's office. The first year left Hermione at the Gargoyle. When she entered, Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, however; he looked friendly and for that Hermione was thankful. "Hermione just so you know I think nothing less of you for being in a relationship with Ginny Weasley, I'll always love you. Anyways, I received a letter from your parents requesting that you be pulled from our world forever. If they decide to follow through with it I can not stop them. I have sent them a letter in return trying to persuade them to allow you to stay, " Dumbledore said. "I don't want to go home, I want to stay here," Hermione said through tears. "I know you don't want to go home Hermione, and I'm going to do my best to keep you here, but I'm just telling you that I can't stop your parents from pulling you out of Hogwarts if that's what they want to do," Dumbledore told her trying to calm her down. He granted her permission to spend the remainder of the day in the Griffindor house if she wanted to. She chose to do so. Hermione also decided to skip dinner. After dinner Ginny knocked on Hermione's door. "Hermione are you okay?" she asked the door. There was no answer. Ginny knocked louder. "Mione I want to talk to you, please let me in," Ginny begged. Unexpectedly the door slammed open. "Ginny get away from me! I want to be left alone to try to come up with a way to be happy! My parents found out about us and they want me home for good. I want to die!" Hermione screamed slamming the door in Ginny's face. Ginny stood at Hermione's door stunned for a moment. Then the tears started to fall and she ran to Harry for comfort. "Ginny calm down. Hermione didn't mean to yell at you. If her parents want to take her out of Hogwarts she's going to be miserable. Hopefully Dumbledore can talk them into letting her stay. For her well being I hope she's allowed to stay," Harry told Ginny hugging her.
That night Ginny slept on the floor outside Hermione's room hoping she would emerge. At breakfast the next morning an owl landed in front of Hermione from Dumbledore. It read:
Hermione,
I received another letter from your parents. Your dad is having no second thoughts. He wants to take you home today. They're showing up after breakfast. Please come by my office before you go to classes. Maybe we'll have one last attempt to talk him out of taking you home.
Dumbledore
Ps. Would you like a chocolate frog when you get here?
Hermione ate breakfast in silence. When she was done eating she pulled Ginny aside. "Ginny I'm sorry for flipping out on your yesterday. I'm stressed out. I don't want my parents to take me home. I'd be lost without this place, and you and Ron and Harry," Hermione vented. She then buried her face in Ginny's shoulder not caring that people were making comments telling her to take her carpet munching self and throw herself off of the astronomy tower. "Five hundred points from Slytherin for that comment Mr. Malfoy. You and Miss Parkinson will be spending detentions with me for the next two weeks," Professor Snape screamed at the students in his house. "Hermione I want to apologize for all of the pain and hurt Malfoy has caused you. Believe me he will think twice about sending letters to your parents and making comments with his friends when I'm done with him and his little girlfriend," Snape assured her. Hermione gave Snape a thankful smile. The corridor cleared out and Ginny walked Hermione to the Gargoyle. "Good luck babe. I love you. If your dad pulls you out, I'll write you letters at night so he won't know about the owl. I love you," Ginny told Hermione with a reassuring smile and a kiss. "I love you to Gin with all of my heart." Hermione told Ginny kissing her again. "Chocolate frog," Hermione said to the Gargoyle. Seconds later she was rising up to Dumbledore's office.
"HERMIONE GRANGER! YOU ARE COMING HOME WITH US RIGHT NOW!" Mr. Granger screamed when Hermione entered the office. "Thomas! At least give her a chance to explain and talk to Dumbledore," Mrs. Granger said grabbing a hold of her husband stopping him from slapping Hermione. "Fine!" Mr. Granger said.
"Sir, may I have a moment alone with your daughter?" Dumbledore asked. "Whatever," Hermione's dad said walking out of the office into a small side room. "Hermione my dear, I tried my best to persuade your father against taking you home. However, as you can see, it didn't work. Though I have persuaded him to allow you and I to contact each other once a week. I am giving you a special quill that will never run out of ink and it will allow you to write to me and me to deliver letters to your friends here. They will then be able to read them using a simple mental spell. They will also be able to reply to you and I will jinx the letters to only reveal themselves once they are in your hands and you are ready to read them. I hope that your father will come to his senses soon and send you back. I promise you I will try my best over the next few days to persuade him against keeping you away forever," Dumbledore said to Hermione handing her the quill to slip inside her robes and giving her a reassuring hug. "I'll have your things sent along to you either later today or early tomorrow then you don't have to cause your father anymore anger by returning to your room to get your things," Dumbledore told her. Hermione's parents then entered the office once more. "Hermione lets go," Mr. Granger shouted pulling Hermione out of the office. They went down the stairs and towards the entrance to the castle. "How in the hell do we get out of here?" Hermione's father asked getting angrier as the minutes went on. Hermione lead her parents out of the castle and to the Hogsmead station. They took the Hogwarts Express back to platform nine and three quarters then returned home. A few hours later Hermione's things arrived from Hogwarts. When she went to unpack her things from her trunk she was surprised to find three letters tucked on the top of her things. Hermione took the letters from Harry, Ron and Ginny out of her trunk thought about opening them and decided against it putting them in her desk drawer for when she needed a word from her friends at a later date. Hermione then lay down on her bed and cried. Sometime in the evening her dad called her downstairs to dinner. She didn't go. Shortly after dinner was ready she fell asleep.
Meanwhile later that night at the castle Ginny laid in her bed wide awake tossing and turning. The only good thing in her life right now as the fact that for the next two weeks every night for two hours Draco Malfoy and his girlfriend Pansy Parkinson would be standing in the dungeons on one foot holding a copy of the potions book in each hand with another detention being added every time they let their books drop or stumbled a little bit trying to catch their balance. Ginny smiled at this thought and finally drifted off to sleep.
