They walked into St. Mungo's, Harry and Ginny holding hands and talking to each other, they couldn't wait to see Ron. Hermione was hanging back. She wished she had gone home this holidays. Or even this week. She may have avoided the feelings she had. The sadness about Ron and the ones she had about their family friend; Amos Abraxas. He was a tanned, light haired boy who Hermione met the previous week. If she was honest with herself, she found him SuperMegaFoxyAwesomeHot. She almost ran into Harry outside of Ron's room. She wasn't paying attention.

"Ron" Ginny said walking over to her brother.

"Hey mate" Harry said walking in.

"Hey guys!" Ron said. There was a mark around his neck where the belt was and his voice sounded croaky and course. Hermione stood in the doorway. Ron hadn't even noticed that she was there.

"So, one week til Hogwarts" she said. Ron ignored her. She just smiled weakly to herself. No surprises there, he had a right to be angry, if she was the reason he tried to commit.

"Yeah Hermione, valid point. Do you think you will be out by then?" Ginny asked.

"Yes, Ginny, Harry, I think I will be" Ron said. Hermione couldn't take it anymore.

"Ron" she said walking up to him, "Surprised, I am here. I am here as your friend because I care! But you don't notice that I'm here! So I am going to go rather than stand here and be ignored!" she yelled. She turned around and walked out of the room. Harry followed her.

"Nice Ron, really nice" he mumbled to himself, "Hermione!" he said, grabbing her hand making her stop and turn to face him. Ginny ran out to them. She had tears streaming out of her eyes.

"Why is he so rude?" she cried.

"Hermione, please calm down" Harry said.

"Calm down! He didn't even acknowledge I was alive!"

"I know" he reasoned.

"He was being an ass, I don't know what's wrong with him" Ginny added.

"Ron! That was so rude of you!" Mrs. Weasley said.

"What?" Ron said.

"You can't just ignore her! She was here to support you and you totally ignored her! She felt so bad; as though she was the cause of you to want to commit, but she plucked up the courage to come down here to see if you were ok! She didn't sleep at all last night. She felt so bad! She said that she couldn't take you telling her that you loved her and so she got Fred and George to talk to you because you wouldn't listen! Sometimes, turn on your ears Ron!" Mrs. Weasley snapped.

"I am not going back in there" she said.

"You take her back to my house" Ginny said to Harry. He nodded and he and Hermione apparated out of there. Fred was eating breakfast.

"Your brother, the one who almost died last night, is a bastard" Hermione said sourly, walking up the stairs to her room.

"What did he do?" Fred asked.

"You don't want to know" Harry sighed.

"Ok" Fred said, taking another sip of his coffee, "But I do".

"Well, Hermione went rage at Ron because he was ignoring her. Do you know why?"

"No, but I do know that I saved his life. I bet she hates me for that"

"No, she doesn't hate you. But this year at Hogwarts is going to be hell for me" Harry said.

"Well, I feel for you" Fred said, patting him on the back and walking off.

"Hermione?" Fred asked knocking on the door.

"Please, don't come in" Hermione sniffed.

"Please Hermione?" Fred asked.

"No, please, just leave me alone" she said. Fred knew better than to argue with her, she was very violent when she was angry. Especially when she was angry with Ron. She gave him a black eye last year. So he walked away, this was going to be a long year for all of them.
