~Chapter 4~
"Harry?" Hermione stepped down the stairs. "Harry?" Harry looked up and smiled, flicking away his jet black hair that always fell into his green eyes.
"Yes, Hermione?"
"Can I borrow your Marauder's Map? I need to find Ron." Harry fidgeted. "Harry?"
Harry coughed. "Uh… I'm not really sure where it is…" He avoided eye contact with Hermione. She started getting annoyed.
"Harry. I would like to see my fiancé, please." Harry's eyes widened.
"Fiancé?" Hermione slowly nodded.
"Yes. He proposed last month." Harry nodded.
"Ah… Well… Congrats…! Um… if you don't mind, I have a Potions essay I need to finish…" Harry avoided eye contact and ran out of the room. Hermione stared at the empty doorway, confused. I guess I just need to look for him. She started walking out the doorway. Just as she was about to walk out of the common room, she was stopped by Daphne. Tears were welling up in Daphne's eyes. Hermione's eyes widened.
"Daphne?" Daphne looked up and shook her head.
"Hermione, I'm so, so sorry! I didn't know. Please, he said that he broke up-…" Daphne began sobbing into her hands. Hermione didn't know what to do with the blonde girl that was crying at her feet. She awkwardly began to rub the blonde's back.
"It'll be okay, Daphne. Uh… I'm sorry, but I really need to find Ron." Daphne's tear soaked face gently looked up into Hermione's brown eyes. She nodded.
"I'm sorry Hermione. Please. Please forgive me. I truly had no idea." Daphne began climbing up the stairs and fell asleep in exhaustion on her bed. Hermione stared at Daphne confusedly before climbing out of the room.

"Hey, Dean! Have you seen Ron?" Dean averted his eyes from Hermione and shook his head. Hermione raised her eyebrow and continued walking. She was stopped by Draco and Pansy. As usual, Pansy hung on Draco's arm, and Draco didn't make an effort to hide his disgust. Hermione seethed. She might have been friends with Daphne, but she certainly wouldn't try with Malfoy.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" Draco smirked.
"Well, I heard you were looking for the Weasel, Granger. I know where he is." Hermione raised her eyebrow again.
"How do you know where he is?" Pansy smiled at Hermione. It appeared that Pansy was making an effort to be nice to Hermione because her best friend, Daphne was dating Harry.
"Grang- Hermione, why don't you check out the Room of Requirements? I think I saw him heading that way." Pansy said to Hermione. Draco snorted and looked the other way. Hermione sneered at Draco and started walking to the Room of Requirements.
"Granger, wait."
Hermione looked back and smirked.
"What do you want, Malfoy?"
Draco looked pointedly at Hermione's engagement ring.
"What's that?" Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Can't you see it's an engagement ring?"
"No, I mean, who's it from?" Hermione sighed in exasperation.
"Ron, he proposed last month. Can I go now?" Pansy gasped and Draco's trademark smirk faded. Hermione, more confused than ever, started walking again.
I want to see Ron. I want to see Ron. Hermione repeated the sentence over again, and watched as a door appeared. She knocked and went in. And she was shocked at what she saw.
