"How did you sleep?" Hermione asked a stirring Ginny.
"How long have you been up?" Ginny asked Hermione. She was rocking back and forth and it looked like she hadn't slept at all.
"I didn't sleep" Hermione said, still rocking back and forth, staring at one part on the wall. She felt like it was all her fault that Ron tried to commit. It probably was, that's the impression that she got from Harry. There was a knock on the door.
"Girls, breakfast. Oh my god. Hermione!" Mrs. Weasley said, "What happened to you?" Hermione broke down in tears. Ginny got out of bed, Hermione needed some time with her mum now. She walked downstairs slowly trying not to fall down. Rubbing her eyes wearily.
"Morning" Harry said, sleepily.
"Didn't sleep well either?" she asked.
"Nope. Did Hermione sleep well?"
"She didn't sleep at all" Ginny said settling into the couch next to Harry and resting her head on his shoulder. Harry was just shocked. Hermione, not get a wink of sleep, because of Ron? He couldn't believe it.
"Now Hermione, what's wrong?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"I feel like this is entirely my fault" she sobbed.
"How do you mean?"
"Well, Ron was starting to creep me out because he was always going on about how much he loved me and stuff. I tried to tell him I really didn't like him that way but he wouldn't listen. I asked Fred and George to help me, and I think I broke his heart" she said.
"Hermione" Mrs. Weasley said comfortingly, "Ron has been going through a hard time since his Grandfather died"
"They were close?" Hermione asked. Ron had never mentioned his Grandfather before.
"Yes, very close. They had a better bond than Fred and George" Mrs. Weasley laughed to herself, "So much in common. He tried to kill himself too, also unsuccessful. Thank god. But we had better get down to breakfast. School in a week, are you excited?"
"Yes, I am. But is it safe, with Sirius Black around and all?"
"I hope so"
"Where are Fred and George?"
"Probably sleeping, they got back only two hours ago" she said standing and walking out of the room. Hermione followed her.
"Morning Hermione" Harry said, not so cheerfully.
"Hi" she said, yawning.
"Dig in" Mrs. Weasley said. They all sat down, but no one could eat anything. Finally Harry grabbed a piece of toast. He ate it slowly, nawing at it like it tasted like rubbish. Ginny had some eggs, Mrs. Weasley had a piece of toast. Hermione didn't have anything to eat.
"Can we go see him?" Ginny asked.
"Yes, of course my dear. Go upstairs and get ready" Mrs. Weasley said. All three of the teenagers went upstairs. Hermione however, was reluctant to go. She went upstairs anyway and got ready. She was nervous, how would he react to seeing her? He didn't smile at her last night. She had messed it up big time.
"Come on kids!" Mrs. Weasley called, "We have to go now!" Ginny and Harry ran down the stairs together. Hermione walked calmly. Not because she didn't want to see Ron, because she had no energy. She got in the car and they flew off. Hermione longing for the time that she could go to Hogwarts and forget about this whole situation.
