Disclaimer- Harry Potter belongs to the fabulous JK Rowling!

After a restless night of sleep Hermione woke up and got ready for her classes.

Even though she went to bed feeling at ease with the whole graveyard situation her subconciou still seemed uneasy about it.

Durning the night she had dreampt of the entire scene in the grave yard, and while she ran away the burrow appeared. Mrs. Weasley was crying and yelling at Hermione for not saving her son. George took out his wand and shouted hexes at her, with tears streaming down his face.

Hermione looked at herself in the mirror and was frustrated to see the black circles under her eyes. She pulled out her wand and used a concealing charm to cover the black spot up. She didn't want to answer any questions as to why she looked so tired.

She walked down the stairs to the common room and wasn't surprised to see she was the first one up for the day. Luckily, she had brought homework with her that she could work on.

As she walked over to her chair she was surprised to see Harry still on the couch, asleep. He was clutching a pillow and his glasses were askew on his face.

Hermione assumed he probably had gotten as much sleep as she did, so she let him be.

The brunette pulled out her transfiguration essay that was due next week and revised it for the second time. By the time she was done the common room was beginning to fill up and Ginny had woken up Harry by tickling him.

"Did you honestly sleep down here?" Ginny asked, with an incredulous tone.

Harry nudged her and said "Well excuse me for valueing my life."

"Coward." She said with a playful smile.

"Well," Hermione began, not wanting to listen to their loving, playful banter any longer, "I'm going down to breakfast."

"We'll come too." Ginny said cheerfully, while Harry stood up and stretched.

Lovely.

"I actually need to change my clothes." He told them. "I'll meet you down there."

"Good Luck with the bear!" Ginny called after him, as the two girls exited the common room.

OOO

As much as Ginny hated to admit she had anything in common with her brother, their eating skills were just about equal. Hermione stared in slight awe as Ginny stuffed her mouth sausage, egg, and bacon all at once.

"What?" She asked once she swallowed her food.

At least she has better manners Hermione thought to herself.

When Hermione just shook her head at her, Ginny nodded her head towards the entrance of the Great Hall.

"It looks like those two have made up."

Hermione rolled her eyes when she Ron laughing at something Harry said.

"Hey, 'Mione." Ron sat down and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Hi Ron!" Ginny said mockingly.

Ron shot a glare at her that clearly showed who he believed was at fault. Hermione couldn't comprehend how he could be so thick sometimes.

Ginny was about to retort to his glare, but luckily the mail arrived.

Mrs. Weasley had written to both of her children and Ginny and Ron read through the letters quickly.

"Mum says to give you a hug, Harry." Ron told the bespectacled boy through the omelette stuffed in his face. Ron then opened his arms up to him with a smirk.

"I'll pass." Harry said sarcastically.

Ron chuckled before turing to Hermione and saying "She told me to give you one too. She says that she misses you."

Hermione bit her lip.

"Tell her I miss her too." She said quickly, before looking away.

Ron didn't seem to notice anything wrong with Hermione so he continued, "I can't wait for Christmas break. It feels like forever since I've had a delicious home cooked meal."

Hermione stood up quickly and said "I'm going to the library, I'll meet you in Herbology. I need to finish up homework."

Ron looked after her in confusion.

"But you never have your homework unfinished." He pointed out.

She didn't seem to hear him and she quickly walked out of the Great Hall.

Ginny reached across the table and hit her brother upside the head, hard.

"You insensitive prat!"

Ron justt stared at her blankly.

OOO

Hermione stood in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom as she wiped away the few tears that managed to escape. Myrtle didn't seem to be present at the moment, but Hermione didn't want to take any chances so she was very quiet. She didn't want Myrtle to come popping out her U-bend.

She tried not to let it bother her anymore, but it was so hard with Ron talking about his happy family back home.

After the war, Hermione looked everywhere for her parents. She called almost every dental office in Australia to see if they were working there. She had accepted defeat and wondered if she would ever see them again. She wondered if they would even want to see her again; afterall, she had wiped out all of their memories and if someone had done that to her, she wouldn't be able to forgive them.

Hermione looked back into the mirror. The concealing spell she used had faded and she didn't even want to redo it. The black circles under her eyes seemed to represent her mood for the day so well, that it would be a shame to cover them up.

Please Review! It would make me very very very Happy.
