Will Anything Good Ever Happen To Me?

How exciting! LOL. I'm finally updating…. Man, it's been a while… Hope I haven't lost too many followers…. Enjoy!

Chapter 12—Offically, the chapter 12…. Untitled, because I just want to update ASAP.

The first week of classes had flown by for Harry and Ron. Hermione was busying herself with extra credit homework along with her normal overloaded homework schedule. Ron and Harry decided she needed a break and asked Professor Dumbledore for permission to spend a night in "town" at a local Bed and Breakfast to get a change of scenery, mainly for Hermione. She needed a break, they barely saw her and when they did, it was briefly, she looked like a zombie and she never spoke… Not even to Ginny, Harry or her guardian who had taken her in and given her everything she had asked for recently. Harry had tried to reach her, to get her to speak, look at him or even say hi. Hermione Granger had created an alternate reality for herself, she ate and slept like all the rest, she went to classes when necessary and spent most of her time reading and studying in the restricted section of the library so that no one would bother her. After a few days of watching young Granger, Dumbledore agreed to let Ron and Harry spend a weekend out of the castle as long as they agreed to keep a low profile, he promised to have them heavily guarded by aurors he trusted with his own life.

Friday rolled around and Harry and Ron watched Hermione eat her dinner. Taking her time and eating just enough to keep her from starvation, Hermione waited for her friends to say something because she knew it was coming. "Hermione, Harry and I are worried about you."

She didn't speak, but just looked at them, with hollow eyes.

"Hermione, please, talk to us. We know it's hard but we're your best mates, we'll do our best to help you." Ron had finally gotten hungry and took a large bite of his chicken, "you kno- harree an I haff b'n tryin' to find you for days, where haff you b'n?"

Harry looked at Ron, "ron, how bout you leave this to me." His mate nodded taking a bigger bite of food. "Hermione, Ron and I are taking you to a hotel, and we're not coming back to school until you talk. You need to change your clothes, shower, and have a fun weekend. I promise, things will get better. You should talk to us, we aren't going to force you too much, but we think you owe us at least one day together since you've disappeared on us all week. Not even Ginny has seen you, and you two share a room!" He paused, hoping she'd say something. "Dumbledore is even worried about you… I know it's hard 'mione, but you can't stay this way." Thinking he had gotten through to her, he waited while she put her hands on the table, looked at Ron, then to Harry, sighed, and ran away.

"Yeah, sure, LEEEAVE it to you!" Ron laughed.

"Ron, would you just shut up!" Harry punched Ron in the arm.

"Ow! Oi, at least she didn't walk off when I was talking."

"I didn't make her run! Maybe she was just sick of watching you eat!"

"Would you two cut it out? You sound like an old married couple." Ginny Weasley had walked up behind them, putting her hands on their shoulders. "Hermione has been crying herself to sleep and you two are fighting about… what exactly?"

"He started it-

"Did not!" It was Ron's turn to punch Harry, which wiped the smile off both of their faces.

"Ron, I feel guilty for having a good time when she's in so much pain."

"Listen mate" chomp. Slurp. Chomp. "Hermione just lost her parent's and though I can't imagine what it's like, you can, but you've had 17 years to deal with it and you've grown up knowing how crazy he-who-must-not-be-named is. She knows, but it's harder to comprehend once something like this happens. Just give her some time, and maybe this weekend she'll start talking… I hope."

"Yeah, you're right." Harry thought for a moment. "It's barely been two weeks, I was lucky enough that I had been younger… Lucky for me I had the Dursleys to support me." Ginny, Ron, and Harry laughed and began a lighter conversation.

_-_-_ Later that day…. -_-_-

"Hermione, you know they're going to basically force you to go right?" Ginny was trying to coax her friend into spending the weekend away from school, most people, and enjoying a bit of lighter conversation with her best mates… unfortunately it was going well.

"Gin, I've got homework." Was all she replied, it was all she ever said.

"Hermione! Please, will you just go?" Hermione and Ginny stared at each other, both near tears.

"Can't."

"Well," Ginny paced their room, "you've been doing a lot of extra credit, won't that save you? Even though we all know that you've either already finish or will finish by Monday. Hermione, they want to help you. I want to help you. Please… Just talk to us."

"Gin." Hermione grabbed her bookbag, "Just stop. I'm not going."

As Hermione stepped out the portrait hole two hands were on her shoulders. She twirled around, but no one was there. Knowing who it was, she kept walking with her head down and a steady pace as she walked toward the library. She heard the footsteps of two people following her. When she reached the library she decided this wasn't good enough, they would still find her so she turned a corner, took a staircase up and around another corner and then ran as fast as she could towards a wall. Just as she was about to hit it, a door appeared and swung open for her and slammed shut for the two boys following her. She heard them hit the door and attempt to unlock it and break in, luckily she was smart enough to tell the Room of Requirement that she wanted a place that only SHE could find, unlock, and stay inside for as long as she liked. Inside she found a repleca of her house, the first floor and only the living room and library. A fireplace burned on the far wall, next to it a desk with a lamp, a giant comfy chair and a window to look out onto the grounds. A couch sat in the middle, in front of it a coffee table full of delicious snacks and beverages to keep her company whilst she stayed there. Three walls were full of books, some for a 'bit of light reading' and some she could use to write her papers. When the banging on the door ceased she finally let go of a breath she had been holding in and sighed. Setting her bag down and plopping on the couch to relax. Alone, alas and she was enjoying every moment of it. Reading, snacking, and listening to the silence that filled the room. She was finally relaxing. 'I'd like a butterbeer,' She thought to herself, faintly wishing she had gone into town, or at least to the Three Broomsticks. Moments later, a Butterbeer appeared in front of her, floating and waiting for her to grab it and when she finally did, a house elf appeard. "Dobby!"

"Miss Granger, Dobby is at your service." He bowed to her.

"Dobby, you need not bow for me. What are you doing here though?"

"House elves can get anyone Miss Granger, this is why Master Harry Potter has summoned Dobby." He paused, looking around the room. "What a lovely room you've made this Miss Granger."

Hermione was shocked and didn't know what to say or whether or not she even wanted to speak to him for fear that he would report back to Harry. "Thanks." Was all she said before taking a giant swig of her drink.

"Mr. Potter has asked Dobby to check on you, to make sure you are doing well and see if you would allow him in."

"No, Dobby," Taking another drink until the glass was almost gone. "I don't want anyone else in here."

"Miss Granger, Dobby was wondering what was wrong?"

"Nothing to worry about. I'll be fine. Dobby, I'm sorry, but I really would just like to be alone now."

"Yes Miss Granger, Dobby is sorry he disturbed your peace. Dobby will leave you now. But if you shall need anything, as a friend or Master Potter, Dobby is here to serve you as well."

"Thank you, Dobby." She patted him on the head and smiled back at him. "Just keep the Butterbeer here."

"Anything for you. Dobby must go now. Good-bye."

And I'm sorry. But I shall be going now too. I'm seriously ill, and I'm hoping it goes away, I had bigger plans for this chapter but they've been compromised, I hope to make it up to you all in the next chapter… I hope you enjoyed this…
