Hand to his head, George Weasley sat in Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, the only actual comfort he had at the moment. What was he going to do? He was marrying Ron's crush, Harry's girlfriend, and someone he had only ever thought of as Hermione, his little prodigy friend. A door sounded and slammed as a set of angry footsteps approached.
"Bloody professional of you George. A letter? A bloody letter is how you break up with me?"
George looked up. Turning to Angelina, bloodshot eyes off in a distant place. Angelina sighed and looked even more infuriated than before.
"Can you at least give me the luxury of knowing who you are marrying?"
He came out of his daze the slightest bit and gave a dead stare.
"I am marrying Hermione. We have been betrothed since we were kids."
"So I'm the other woman here?"
"If that's what you want to call it."
With that, he stalked from the store, apparating to somewhere where he knew he could quickly get to where he had to be, leaving her there in the shop.

Hermione wrung he hands several times, trying her best not to simply break down and cry. She had told Harry when she came back and only had a bruised heart from the encounter. She could hear him shouting in the common room from her hiding place. The behavior he had acquired in 5th year was back and now with a seemingly violent mix. She winced as what sounded like the portrait slammed hard, signifying that Harry had left the common room. A whisper of a lyric left her lips, causing her to quiver.
"You know the world can see us…"
Hermione stopped for a second and let a tear drip.
"…in a way that's different than who we are."
Another voice joined hers, though both combined were no more than a whisper.
"Creating space between us, till we're separate hearts."
The conniving red head smiled and sat down on the second floor girl's bathroom.
"How did you to find me here George?"
George smirked a bit and laid a hand on her thigh. She laid her head on his shoulder and whimpered slightly, trying her best not to just to weep on him, or in front of him.
"It's okay 'Mione. Please don't be upset."
"W…what am I supposed to do George? What can I possibly do?"
Before she could get anything else out, the tears came out. All George do was glance down at his watch and take her closer to him.
"You have ten minutes Hermione. Ten minutes to cry your heart out. Cry hard and cry well. I know I sound harsh, but what else can I say? It would kill me to let you cry and cry, to simply let you drown in sorrow. So cry."
And she did. George rubbed up and down her back, trying to soothe her.
"Sitting up on the roof
Sneaking a smoke by the chimney
Checking out the moon and the city lights
He takes off his flannel shirt, drapes it around her shoulders
Slides up behind her and holds on tight
She says,
I don't want this night to end.
Why does it have to end?
Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I 10 Baton Rouge
LSU
18 years in her rearview.
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up, down the block
At Daddy's shop
It ain't much, but it's a job
They been dreading this moment all summer long
The night before
Life goes on
A tear falls off her cheek and right when it hits his arm
He says
Come on baby lets get outta here
They take one last drive around town
And man it already looks different
He bangs the wheel and says
Life ain't fair
And this growing up stuff, man
I don't know
I just don't wanna let you go
Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10 Baton Rouge
LSU
18 years in her rearview.
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up, down the block
At Daddy's shop
It ain't much, but it's a job
They been dreading this moment all summer long
The night before
Life goes on
Yeah that what my mom told
And just like those kids, I didn't wanna listen to no one
Yeah there's nothing you can do
There's nothing you can say
And I know how it feels when love goes away
Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I 10 Baton Rouge
LSU
18 years in her rearview.
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up, down the block
At Daddy's shop
It ain't much, but it's a job
They been dreading this moment all summer long
But here it is
They don't have long
The night before
Life goes on
Yeah yeah yeah"
After George stopped singing in his whispered tone, he looked down at Hermione, who was no longer crying.
"Thanks George. For being here. I really needed you tonight."
She lifted his wrist and gasped.
"Bloody hell! Its one in the morning!"
She gave a worried look and George only shook his head.
"12:05. but we do need to get you to bed. They'll probably wake you up around six or seven."
She nodded and pulled herself from the floor before helping George up. Moaning Murtle came out of her stall and sighed.
"Finally. I was getting dreadfully tired of you , you know."
Hermione just shook her head and they snuck out and made their way to the Gryffindor Common Room.

A/N://
I am very happy with the number of reviews I received. It's the most I ever got for the first chapter. Who am I kidding. It's the most reviews I've gotten for a whole story. And I don't believe I got a single flame! –does a creepy little dance- Well, I will be putting up a review page on my website soon, so look for me to put it here.
And know for the question I know you all want to know.
The first song they were singing was Breaking Free from High School Musical. The second was by Carrie Underwood, titled The Night Before(Life Goes On). I have no clue why I put those certain songs in, but they seemed to work, even if it was a bit cheesy.
Now, remember to critique me a little. I do like a bit of critiscm. But try not to make the author cry. Tears might fry my keyboard! Okay. Now I'm off to write the next chapter. It should come faster. I was just too preoccupied with 8th grade to finish this chapter quickly. SO sorry, loves. Se ya'll later
