1Chapter 3
"Hermione what happened?" Ron asked, holding the crying Hermione in his strong arms. She sniffed and cleared her throat before looking up at his blue eyes.
"Josh. Josh is what happened Ron. That son of a bitch..." Hermione started to rant but caught herself when she cursed. Hermione never cursed. Ron looked shocked but that oh so sexy smirk of his crossed his face. Hermione felt her cheeks get hot.
"Wow.. That's the first time I heard you curse since our 5th year when you dropped that book on your foot." Ron said, still smirking down at her tear streaked face.
"Well I have the right to curse right now! Josh.. Ron.. I told Josh that I didn't want to be anything more but a friend to him and he flat out told me that he just wanted to get into my pants!" Hermione said heatedly, tears again falling from her brown eyes. Rons smirk immediately vanished and anger appeared on his face.
"What?!" He said furiously. He let go of Hermione and started pacing back in forth in the living room. Hermione stood there, tears still falling, watching him. He was still dressed up form tonight and still looked handsome as ever. He had one hand running over his face in frustration and then ran one hand through his red locks. Hermione still just stood there, watching him, unaware that she finally stopped crying.
"Ron calm down." She said softly. Ron stopped pacing, and in a few strides was standing infront of her again.
"Calm down?! Hermione I don't understand how you're staying calm!" Ron yelled. Hermione flinched.
"Because Ron I was the bigger person and walked away. All the things he said.. Yes they were hurtful and I won't be able to look any of the men at the Ministry in the eyes again.." Hermione started but Ron cut her off.
"What do you mean all the men at the Ministry?" He asked with a quirked eyebrow. Hermione took a deep breath before answering him.
"Josh said that all the men at the Ministry, young and old, wanted to try and sleep with me. He said that I was the smartest, most talented, and beautiful woman that worked there and all the men wanted to have a go with me." Hermione said quietly, ashamed of what Josh had said. Harry and Ron were the only men now at the Ministry she could trust. But that had never changed. They were her best friends in the whole world. Ron suddenly enveloped her in another hug. Hermione was taken aback because it happened so fast, but aloud herself to wrap her arms around him. She breathed in his scent of pine and honey. He smelled so wonderful.
"Hermione I can't believe he told you that. He's a lying bastard. You know all of our friends who went to school with us and works there with us, they don't think that about you. Everybody at the Ministry respects you. You know that." Ron said comfortingly. Hermione nodded her head in his chest. Ron put her at arms length so he could see her better.
"Thank you Ron. I don't know what I'd do without you. Or Harry." Hermione whispered. Ron smiled and hugged her again.
"How 'bout I fix you a cup of tea?" Ron offered. Hermione nodded her head and he went into the kitchen. Hermione sat down heavily on the couch and relaxed against the soft cushions. In the kitchen Ron was fixing her tea.
"And I don't know what I'd do without you Hermione." Ron said to himself, taking a quick glance back at the beautiful young woman resting on the couch.
Ohh is the anticipation killing you of what might happen?! Ohh but reading can be deceiving!! There might be a twist in my story!! Cliffhangers!! But I might not be so cruel... But then again... Muahhhhhh!!!!!!!!
