Hermione stood in the shower, allowing the warm water to caress her curves and sooth her. She remembered two days ago when Ron and her had both been late for work. They were both part of Harry's group of Auror's and Hermione was also apart of the Department of Regulation of Magical Creatures. Hermione had raced into the washroom ahead of him to shower and he had joined her. They had made love in the shower and they had both been late. Tears started coming down her face again as she remembered moaning his name as he brought her to the peak of oblivion and back. How could someone who said he loved her more than anything, leave her. She slid down and lay on the bottom of the shower. Crying into the water.
Ginny knew Hermione was going to be in the shower for a while, she could hear her best friend sobbing. She knew she needed to give her the time to grieve over her blockheaded brother. She left a quick note on her table, hoping she'd be back from her parents by then. She wanted her mom's recipe for pancakes and she also wanted a little advice on what to say. She quickly apparated to the Burrow and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Mom," Ginny called out.
"Ginny? What are you doing here sweetie?" Her mom asked her as she walked into the kitchen. She grabbed her in a hug. "It's been a couple weeks since you've been here."
"Yah sorry Mom," she said hugging her back. "I need to get your recipe for your secret special pancakes."
"Oh, Okay sweetie," Molly said as she was looking in her recipe book. "Who needs cheering up? Is it Harry? Is he still stressed out at work? Should I send him some sweets?"
"No Mom, Harry is great, it's actually for Hermione." Ginny said getting a hard tone in her voice.
Molly quickly looked up, "Why would Hermione need cheering up Ginny?" Molly asked in a slightly worried tone.
Ginny opened her mouth and at that moment somebody decided to walk in the kitchen.
"Ginny? Is that my little sister?" A tanned, muscled red head asked.
Ginny quickly closed her mouth and looked up surprised at her favorite brother.
"Charlie! What are you doing home?" She asked as she hurled herself into his waiting arms.
Charlie smiled, "I'm moving back kiddo, and the wonderful Minister of Magic has confided that some of the rouge Death Eaters are using dragons to cause havoc, so I'm getting teamed up with the Aurors to deal with it."
Ginny smiled, "Remind me to thank Kingsley next time I see him. I missed you big brother."
Charlie squeezed her in a hug one last time, "I missed you too kiddo."
Molly had watched this all quietly and interrupted, "You didn't finish Hun, why does Hermione need cheering up?"
The smile immediately dropped from Ginny's face, "Because your idiotic ass of a son broke up with her this morning."
Molly let out a squeak and dropped her recipe book. "What?"
"Yah, I guess he's fallen in love with Luna." Ginny said sadly and slumped into a chair.
Molly's eyes welled up. She didn't know how she felt; she loved Hermione and considered her a daughter. But Ron was her son. She sat down beside Ginny, "What happened?"
Ginny explained what had happened, and Molly felt more confused and sad. Charlie sat there the entire time not saying anything, or letting any emotion pass his face. But he was mad, how could his little brother do that to Hermione.
Hermione and Charlie had become very close because they both worked in the Department of Regulation of Magical Creatures. They owl'd each other multiple times a week. They hadn't seen each other for a year, but he still considered her a good friend.
He was contemplating apparating over to her flat when Ginny quickly stood up, "I don't know what to do mom, Hermione's my best friend but Ron's my brother. It would be illegal to kill him."
Charlie laughed at that comment, "I guess all you can do kiddo is be there for Hermione, she sounds like she really needs a friend right now."
Molly nodded at what Charlie said, "I guess I can stop making wedding invitations," she said sadly. Ginny looked sharply at her mom. "Sorry sweetie, I'm just really in shock right now."
"You think you're in shock, now imagine how Hermione's feeling." She said angrily.
"Your right," Molly said sadly walking out of the kitchen.
"But I should be getting back," Ginny said looking at Charlie. "I don't want Hermione to be alone. I'm taking her for a girl's day, and then we are going out tonight. I'm trying to keep her mind off everything."
"Let me know if there is anything I can do Ginny, Hermione isn't just your friend. Tell her I'm here if she needs it."
Ginny grabbed her brother in a hug, "Thanks Charlie, if you see Ron.. Punch him for me okay?"
Charlie laughed, "With pleasure kiddo."
Ginny apparated back to Hermione and Charlie walked out into the garden. He watched the gnomes hiding from him, he contemplated ripping a few out and swinging them around just to relieve some anger but decided against it. He pulled Hermione's last letter out of his pocket and read over the words. He smiled over the funny parts and thoughtful over the serious parts. She was a delightful pen-pal and a great friend. He pulled the one picture he had of the two of them out of his wallet. Many guys had asked if she was his girlfriend and he had always felt slightly sad when denying it. She was beautiful with her dark wavy hair and he loved her smile. He wanted so bad to go over to her flat and offer her a hug but he knew she probably hated all red haired men right now. Plus he knew Ginny would make her feel better. Maybe Ginny would let it slip that he was back home and she'd owl him. He smiled when he thought of taking her out for dinner and catching up on everything the other had missed. And then poof Ron's face broke into his head and he got angry
Man I'm going to kill that shit when I see him, Charlie thought.
Reviews would be nice, I see all of you reading and not reviewing..
