Hermione walked into the living room to see Ron and Harry playing Wizard's Chess. Ginny was leaning on Harry's shoulder, watching the game intently. Hermione sat down and started to read her favorite book, Hogwarts: a History. Ten minutes later she heard an argument coming from the chessboard beside her.

"OI! How do you always win Ron?" Harry asked. "Have you ever even lost before?"

"Once," he muttered.

"I know when you lost!" Ginny yelled, "It was when I beat you!"

"You beat Ron?" Harry asked very surprised.

"Thanks for the confidence," she replied sarcastically, "It was in my third year; the day after the Yule Ball."

At this Hermione closed her book and started listening to Ginny's story.

"Really, Ron?" Hermione asked surprised.

"Yeah. I was so upset about what happened the night before, you know with you and Krum and everything."

"He was so distracted that it only took me ten minutes to beat him. I owled Mum and Dad that night to tell them the good news." Ginny exclaimed.

After this the four went to the backyard to play a game of Quidditch. Hermione protested at first knowing that she would hinder them more than help. But after much convincing from Ron, she finally agreed. They decided it would be better to Harry and Hermione versus Ginny and Ron. They all decided that this was fair since Harry was the best and Hermione was, well, the worst.

They ascended into the air, Hermione did so shakily, and started the game. Harry scored three times while Hermione stayed by the goalpost. Ron abandoned the other goal and flew down the field with Ginny, coming closer to scoring with every second. Ginny easily shot the ball in the hoop and Hermione ducked just in time to avoid a quaffle to the face.

"Hermione you okay?" Ron asked concerned.

"Yeah, I'm uh fine; just a little shaken."

They continued this game until Hermione begged for a break. Harry immediately agreed while Ron and Ginny argued this because they were only losing by twenty points. Ron finally gave in and Ginny angrily walked back to the Burrow. Harry was about to follow her, but Hermione grabbed his shoulder and stopped him.

"Harry we need to talk," Hermione started.

"Hermione are you sure now's the right time?" Ron whispered.

"I think now's the time. I'd rather tell him now, before we tell everyone else."

"Tell me what?" Harry asked worriedly.

"Well, Hermione and I are leaving mate. We, umm, decided that we're gonna find her parents and restore their memories. We're going to leave in a few days."

Ron was trying his best to explain to his best friend that his two best friends were leaving him for an indefinite amount of time.

"I'm coming with you guys. We've been through everything together and this isn't going to change that." Harry knew he wasn't going to let his friend go without him; they could be still be in danger.

"Look, mate I understand why you want to come, but I think Hermione and I gotta do this on our own. Besides, Ginny'd kill you if you left again without her, and we definitely won't let her come with us," Ron said protectively.

"Please Harry, please understand," Hermione was pleading with Harry.

"I understand Hermione, I really do, it's just I'm going to miss you guys so much and you better owl me the second you find them," Hermione could start to see the smile on Harry's face. They walked back to the Burrow together knowing everything would be all right.
