Chapter 5: 4 years.

(Hermione's Pov)

I smiled as I reflected upon those memories, things had changed drastically in the last four years and I liked to recall my old memories, as the world grows darker memories become less happy and carefree. Last year Harry took part in the "Triwizard Tournament" even though he was underage, he won but not before witnessing the death of Cedric Diggory, a good friend, to the hands of "He-who-must-not-be-named".

Many things had happened to our trio since then, and yes you must be thinking Fred, George and I but I don't. Harry, Ron and I are the new trio and have become close friends. Fred and I drifted apart during my fourth year because, Viktor Krum the famous Quidditch Seeker had taken an interest in me and I started to hang out with him more than anyone else. One night Fred and I had a huge argument and he said that our friendship was over and he didn't want anything to do with me. I was devastated, my best friend just walked away, so to get back at me for dating Viktor, he started to date Angelina Johnston; one of my few friends.

It has been so awkward when I go over to see his mum and the family, but I can't do anything he walks away from me and I'm not allowed to talk to George. He has a girlfriend now and I don't mind that fact but Fred is always around when I want to talk to George, and it is hard for me to act normal every day when my two best friends are not talking to me. I feel like screaming at them sometimes, mainly Fred because he is being a douche bag.

This is the end of my fifth year and I'm spending time at the Burrow because of what happened with Umbrigde, Mrs Weasley is so nice to me, I almost feel like a daughter. George and I are getting along again, mainly because Fred has stopped caring whether we talk or not and I'm happy for the first time in a year, I feel like my life is getting better. Old wounds are healing and friendships are being rekindled. I think we may be alright; things will get better as time goes on.

What I didn't know was how drastically my life would change during that summer at the Burrow, and the consequences that come with it.
