DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything about the Harry Potter films and books or any songs I may use through out this fan fiction.

The next few weeks seemed to pass really slowly, I noticed the Slytherin girls following Ron around but I didn't think he noticed anything. Pansy kept her distance in public in case Ron became curious as to why I was hanging around the Slytherin girl.

I sat in the library tapping my finger on the desk and daydreaming of the sunshine outside when Harry found me.

"'Mione what are you doing?" he sounded curious and slightly sad so I turned to him immediately.

"What's the matter Harry?" I searched his face for the answer but couldn't see anything.

"What makes you think something's wrong?" he ran a hand through his hair as he took the seat next to me.

"Harry, you're my best friend. Don't you think I should know you well by now? Hell I think I know you better then my own parents" I laughed at the slight blush on his face and hugged him "So come on spill it".

He sighed "ok, me and Ginny have decided to call it quits".

I stared at him for a moment "what do you mean? When? What happened?" I was trying to understand what could have happened between the loving couple.

He ran a hand through his hair again before looking at me with a smile "it was a mutual thing we just didn't feel that way for each other anymore" he frowned "she really is like a little sister for me and I can't believe it took us both this long to figure it out".

I frowned and nodded "I know what you mean".

He glanced at me again "what's going on with you and Ron?"

I bit my lip unsure of how much to tell him "erm, I don't know he's just been distant lately" I shrugged "anyway Ginny told me you were really enjoying living with Sirius".

He grinned and nodded "of course, he's full of pranks though" he laughed and I joined in.

"Yeah, I bet you have to watch everything you do around him".

He nodded "yeah, so what are you doing Christmas?"

I laughed and pushed him "Christmas is in two months".

"I know, I know, but it's best to be prepared".

Just as I was about to say something Ginny comes running in looking distressed. She searched the room frantically before seeing us and running over "guys, you have to come to the Great Hall now!"

Harry exchanged a confused look with me before he asked "erm, why Gin?"

She grabbed our arms and pulled us out of the library "no time just come" she started running and we ran with her. Just as we got outside the hall my blood froze and I gripped Ginny's arm.

"Gin, please tell me it's not?"

She sighed before glancing at me "I'm sorry 'Mione my job was to just get you here".

I glanced helpless towards the hall doors before glancing nervously at Ginny "so" my voice broke as I pleaded with her "it's true, he did . . . he did cheat".

Ginny gestured with a nod towards the hall where Harry was stood at the doors waiting for us.

Oh Merlin! Now that I thought about the plan I was not looking forward to this!

"Nothing happens till you're in there; I don't know when it will happen I've just been told to get you here".

"Ok" I mentally shook my nerves away and smiled at Ginny "lets go show the world how much of a dog your brother is" she laughed and linked arms with me as we made our way over to Harry "come on Harry, it's time for dinner".

I linked my arm through his and with Ginny and Harry on either side of me we walked into the Great Hall laughing.

I glanced at Pansy as we walked in and she nodded then turned to nod at Luna who sat with two other Ravenclaw girls in the middle of their table. When we were half way across the hall and near the Gryffindor table I heard a gasp and followed every one's shocked gazes to the enchanted ceiling.

I stopped and stared up in shock at the image of Ronald Weasley kissing a half naked Lavender Brown. Ginny and Harry had stopped when I did and looked at me confused before they followed my gaze.

Ginny's jaw dropped and Harry stared in shock before they both switched hard glares in Ron's direction where he sat at the Gryffindor table. People were whispering now and I could feel myself starting to shake whether from anger and despair I wasn't sure myself yet.

I looked away from the image of my soon to be ex snogging the cow who once had been my friend. I noticed that most people were looking at me for my reaction, the teachers were looking on in worry, Professor Lupin and Professor McGonagall were glaring at Ron, Professor Snape was scowling as per usual and the other teachers were switching between disbelief, glaring and pity.

I felt Harry and Ginny slip their hands into mine "are you ok 'Mione?"

As I opened my mouth to reply hundreds of owls flew into the Great Hall and dropped envelopes in front of everyone including the teachers.

Harry looked confused when Hedwig dropped an envelope in front of me, I only just caught it in time. I stared down at the envelope as Harry and Ginny hesitantly opened theres.

People were now opening there envelopes and pulling out the contents. I noticed Harry pull out pictures and suddenly felt sick. Yeah, this would definitely embarrass them but what would it do to me.

Opening up my envelope I pulled out picture after picture of Ron and Lavender together and kissing in different clothes and different places. I glanced at Ron and Lavender who were both looking green. There was a letter in my envelope that Ginny and Harry didn't have so I presumed I was the only one.

Hermione,

I know this will be bad for you but everyone needs to know, apparently Colin Creevey had taken pictures of them together he was going to show you them he just didn't know what to say and he didn't want to upset you. I couldn't believe it when he showed me these, I wanted to murder them both right on the spot. There were more images of them doing . . . other things, things that I didn't think the little kids should see. I hope you don't hold this against Ginny, Luna and I.

We're here for you and I seriously hope that you slap Ron after you realise that you deserve so much better.

Your little Planners

Xxx

I set the whole envelope on fire and let it drop to the floor as I took a few deep breaths to calm me down.

"Hermes I can explain!"

I slowly looked up to see Ron in front of me and Lavender a little further behind him.

Ginny placed an arm around me and hissed "I can not believe I am related to you! Wait until Mum finds out".

She gave me a quick squeeze as Ron spluttered and Harry glared at him "no Hermes its not what it looks like".

I stared at him and laughed slightly hysterical and my eyes began to water "explain? Not what it looks like? Are you flipping kidding me?" my hands turned into fists and I walked up to him "you had your tongue down her damn throat how do you explain that or the ones where you're both half naked? I bet there are more of what you were doing as well".

Ron opened his mouth to reply but then he turned to Harry "come on mate tell her for me".

I felt Harry move closer and didn't have time to do anything as Harry's fist flew towards Ron's face. There was a crunch and blood started leaking from his nose as my hand quickly grabbed Harry's arm so he didn't go to hit him again.

I felt Harry calm down slightly next to me "it's ok Harry".

"Ok!" Harry growled as he glared at Ron "it's not Ok Hermione, he was supposed to be your best friend as well as your boyfriend! People who care don't do that".

I stared up into his mesmerising green eyes "its ok Harry, really I still have you and Ginny and Luna and I even have so many others who care for me. I don't need Ron, at least now I know why he was acting so weird".

He pulled me into a hug as my body shook with tears, I leaned my head on his chest and let the tears fall. I stiffened when I felt Ron's hand pull on my arm.

"Hermes-" I cut him off with when I screamed.

"Don't call me that!" I spun to face him and pushed him away from me.

He looked in shock before glaring, I noticed Professor Lupin standing up from his seat and making his way towards us.

I glared at Ron as he glared back "You deserved it!"

I stared in shock at Ron as his words replayed over and over again in my mind "deserved it? How did I deserve being cheated on Ronald? All I've been doing is keeping you happy, I even let you act all stupid and weird around me when I knew something was wrong". I had tears running down my cheeks but my body was shaking with anger.

"Well . . . all you did was kiss me, you wouldn't go any further!"

"Oh. My. Godric. Are you kidding me? You cheated because I wouldn't shag you!" I practically shrieked at him. He flinched at my words but I moved forwards and kept punching his chest with every word I said "you were supposed to be my boyfriend! My best friend Ronald! I even told you why I couldn't go any further with you until I was ready!" I flinched when I punched him hard enough to make him stumble back into Lavender.

The hall was quiet, every one listening and watching us two as I dropped my hands and tried to slow my breathing and stop the tears.

Ron stood in front of me and as looking down at me, when he moved to touch me I flinched back and wrapped my arms around myself "Hermione, that was a long time ago and you should have gotten over it now" I flinched back from his words and stared at him in disbelief.

"Get over it! You want me to get over it" my voice was deadly and calm as I stared at him with such hatred that it shocked me "No one just gets over it Ronald!" I looked behind him to where Lavender was "I advise you both to stay out of my way because I seriously feel like I could cast the Cruciatus Curse on you right now".

I felt two pairs of arms go around me and turned my head into Harry's chest once again as Ginny glared at her brother.

"Get out of here Ronald and you can expect a Howler of Mum".

"Gin-"

"Go away! You too Lavender, what kind of friend are you? None of your friends will trust you around there boyfriends ever again".

Harry squeezed me as I shook, Professor Lupin came up to us and gestured for us to follow him as Professor McGonagall shouted "back to your meals everyone! Mr Weasley, Miss Brown I advise you to either sit back down or leave the Great Hall".

Harry gently lead me out of the Great Hall and to Professor Lupin's Office. As soon as the door was shut, locked and the room was silenced Professor Lupin pulled me into a hug and I cried.

"It's ok Hermione" he lead me to a seat near the fire and I curled up in it hugging myself.

"Ok? How can it be ok? He knew why I wouldn't go any further, her knew I was terrified and he just didn't care! He was supposed to be my best friend, if he didn't care enough who's going to want me now".

I buried my head in my knees and cried as Harry and Remus sat on the chair opposite me unsure of what to do "do you want your Mother Hermione?"

I shook my head but didn't lift it "she doesn't know, she doesn't know about that or about the torture at Malfoy Manor. I couldn't tell her".

"'Mione you should have told her, you should have told some one".

"I've told you, Remus, Sirius, Ginny, Luna and Ron and look where that last one got me".

"Do you want us to get Ginny and Luna maybe?"

"No! I . . . I . . ." I glanced up at Remus "I need Tonks". He looked in shock for a moment before nodding and going to his fireplace.

I put my head back down and tried to stop the tears, everything just brought up what happened when we were caught by the Snatchers.

/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/ FLASH BACK \\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\

We were running, running faster then I had ever had to run before. All I could feel was the fear of being caught. I glanced to the side briefly to see Harry running and on my other side was Ron. We were all breathing heavily and willing ourselves not to slow down as spells started whooshing by us.

I screamed and ducked my head when one hit the tree just next to me. I nearly stumbled and lost my balance when Harry grabbed me and pulled me closer so we were running hand in hand.

I turned to look behind me which was a huge mistake because Fenrir Greyback was so close to us that if he reached out he would have caught us. I screamed and this time pulled Harry to run further. I gasped in shock when a curse flew at Ron and ropes started tangling themselves around him. He fell to the ground with a large thump.

I exchanged a scared glance with Harry then watched in horror as he tripped over a root in the ground and fell. I glanced behind at all the snatchers and the werewolf who was heading straight for us then made up my mind. I turned to Harry and cast a spell that bruised his face and enlarged it so that no one would know he was Harry Potter.

I felt the air knocked out of me when some one grabbed me and dragged me away from Harry. I only managed to grab Harry's glasses and place them his pocket.

The person who had grabbed me held their wand to my neck and asked for my name. Shakily I replied with a lie "Penelope Clearwater" Ron and Harry both replied with a lie.

"Take the males to the Malfoy Manor" the lead one said.

"But Scabior what about the girl?"

"We'll join you soon"

"No! Leave her alone" Harry was shouting and struggling as they all apparated away. Scabior with his shaggy hair, skinny frame and dirty clothes turned towards me when the snatcher who had held me apparated away with the rest of them his last words sending chills down my spine "have fun but save some for us".

I stared at him as he moved closer to me, each step he took I took a step back until my back hit a tree. I shook from fear as he stepped closer and smelt my neck fro my collarbone up to behind my ear.

I shivered and tried to push him away "leave me alone".

"ah, ah, ahh. There's no one here to help you little Penelope" it took me a minute to remember that I was supposed to be Penelope.

/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/ END FLASH BACK \\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\

"Hermione Honey, look at me" I heard Tonks voice and jumped not realising that she was here. I slowly lifted my head to see Tonks usually smiling face staring at me in worry. She had a hand on my knee and the other one stroking my hair.

"Wotcher Hermione" I stared at for a moment noticing that her hair was like mine and her eyes were a dark brown. Before anyone could blink my arms were around Tonks and I as crying into her shoulder.

She held me and murmured little reassures in my ear. I heard people talking behind her but didn't look.

"What happened?" I heard Sirius ask his voice shook with anger.

I heard Harry say something and glanced up to see him handing Sirius one of the envelopes from the Great Hall.

I watched as Sirius stared in shock at the pictures before his eyes narrowed "why did he do this? How could he make her this upset?"

Harry shook his head "this was only just the start Sirius, he . . . he"

Remus gently placed a hand on Harry's shoulder and took over "he told her that she deserved it because she wouldn't have sex with him".

"What?" Sirius shouted "how could he do such a thing, does he know that she was raped? It's not something that you just get over".

He was pacing now as Tonks pushed away from me and searched my eyes "are you ok Honey?"

I stared back but thought about my reply before answering "I . . . I don't think I am Tonks, I . . . I don't know what to do".

I sat down heavily and she sat next to me, she still had an arm around my shoulders "You will be ok, I promise" she stood up and walked over to Remus and Sirius as Harry took her place.

I heard them talking but stared at Harry "I'm sorry Harry".

He glanced at me shocked before he scrunched up his nose and narrowed his eyes in confusing "sorry for what?"

"You've just lost your best friend straight after your own split . . . I just feel responsible".

I was shocked when he laughed "he wasn't my best friend if he could do this to you 'Mione, you and Sirius are the closest things I have to a family, you were always there for me" he turned my head so I was looking at him "you never left me on that Horcrux hunt even after what happened and I'm truly sorry for that because If I didn't trip up then maybe we could have gotten away".

I shook my head and my gaze softened "no Harry, it wasn't your fault. The snatcher didn't have to do what he did, he chose to do it, I'm glad one of us got a happy split" I laughed nervously and played with the end of the skirt on my Hogwarts uniform.

I was looking at my knees so I nearly jumped when Harry's hand came to grab mine so they would stop moving. "I'm not sad about the decision that Ginny and I came up with, she told me that she started liking some one else and I had to be truthful" I glanced at him confused as he gazed at me "I have liked some one for a long time I just never knew what to say".

I stared at him in shock "what is it with you and Ginny, and you Mr Potter I'm your best friend why didn't you tell me anything and who is this girl do I know her?" I watched as he smirked and shook his head.

"I'm not telling 'Mione, not yet at least" I stared at him in confusion but nodded and agreed.

"Ok, but I better be the first to know".

He grinned and nodded "deal".

I turned to Sirius as he shouted "I'm going to murder that little piece of-" Remus cut him off quickly.

"I know Sirius but you'll have to get in line".

Tonks nodded "I just can't believe he would say that to her, he was supposed to be her friend".

Remus gently held her hand "I know Tonks".

Sirius had his arms crossed and he was glaring at anything and everything before he sighed and his shoulders slumped he ran a hand over his face tiredly "she only just got over it, this is just going to bring her back into her depression". He glanced towards me but I was already looking at Harry who seemed to have listened in to their conversation as well.

He smiled sheepishly at me and I smiled back, I rested my head on his shoulder and sighed "What a twat!" I heard Harry chuckling and I smiled closing my eyes.

I was just drifting off to sleep when I felt some one sit on my other side "is she ok?" I heard Sirius ask.

Harry ran a hand through my hair "she will be".
