Chapter 4

When Hermione arrived home she noticed that the light in the kitchen was on. Curious she went in there to find a note on the table.

Hermione,

Gone on Auror mission. Didn't want to wake you, you looked so peaceful. Be back in a couple months.

Love Ron

Perfect, just bloody perfect. The brunette scoffed at the note and crumbled it into a ball. The likelihood of this being an ordinary mission was slim; knowing Ron he had requested the mission to keep from having to discuss children again. Not only that but he hadn't bothered to try to say goodbye; she hadn't been home for hours and the ink was still wet on the note.

Feeling defeated she turned off the light and trudged up to her room and collapsed onto the bed, mentally and physically exhausted. Hermione tossed and turned for hours unable to get much rest. Finally, around 4 in the morning she sat straight up from the light sleep she had entered and said, "I deserve better than this! I'm done waiting on him to grow up and act like the grown man he is supposed to be."

Hermione jumped out of bed, flicked on the lights and began packing. With a few waves of her wand her wardrobe was empty as was her dresser and bookshelf. Everything had been packed away into a small suitcase with the undetectable extension and featherweight charms she was so fond of using. After a trip into the bathroom to collect her toiletries Hermione was done packing her things from upstairs. With newfound conviction and a plan of action she got back into her bed and fell into a deep and restful sleep. In the morning she would collect her dishes and photos from downstairs, eat breakfast and move out. Where she would go, Hermione had no idea, but she wasn't worried. Tomorrow is a new day after all.

A.N. Sorry about the long wait for such a short chapter I am preparing for finals and have been focusing more on my studies than my writing however I am bound and determined to make it up to you! There will be a new chapter uploaded today as well as tomorrow. Hope this makes up for my tardiness, Love Jo~
