Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

Hermione:

The things that happened next were a blur through Hermione's teary eyes. The healers told them to say their final goodbyes and then placed a white sheet over Ginny's face and body and then levitated her and the bed away. Everyone stayed rooted to spot. No one could believe what had just happened. Yesterday she had been on the road to recovery, and today she was gone just like that.

Another healer came in and told them all that once they had determined the cause of death they would release the body to them so they could arrange a funeral. Harry sobbed harder and went over to hug Molly. The healer then told them they would need to leave the room so it could be cleaned, after they had removed Ginny's belongings from it.

They all start to leave the hospital.

"What am I going to tell the children?" Harry cried.

"I'll come with you dear. We'll get through this a family." Molly told him.

When Hermione and Ron get home, Ron is a wreck. He won't stop crying. Hermione decided to not tell him just yet, he's already upset enough, and she doubts Harry will say anything. For now she stops worrying about that and pulls Ron into bed. They both cried themselves to sleep that night.

The next day she wakes up before Ron. It's a Saturday so it's not a mandatory day at work. A few hours after she woke up Ron walked through to the kitchen, his face still red from crying.

"Can you make me some food?"

"I know you're upset Ron, but it's not hard to have some manners." She immediately regretted opening her mouth.

"Don't tell me what I can and can't do! I'm my own person and I'll do what the fuck I like."

She doesn't respond and starts to make him some food. She knows if she protests, he'll lose his temper even more, and he scares her when he's angry. There's a knock at the window, and Hermione turns round to see an owl trying to get in. She walks across to let it in, and takes the letter from it. It's from Rose and Hugo.

'Hi mum,

We're fine thanks, my favourite lesson is Transfiguration and Roses is Potions. Nothing much to report really, just a normal year at Hogwarts, nothing like yours and Dads!

Love you mum

From Hugo and Rose xxx'

She summons a quill and parchment and starts to write, not to her children but to Professor McGonagall.

'Dear Minerva,

I am writing to you on a day of sadness. I regret to inform you that Ginny Potter has passed away, but I'm sure Harry has already informed you. I was wondering whether I could come to Hogwarts to have a private meeting with my children to let them know the situation.

Kind Regards

Hermione Gra Weasley'

She sent the owl with the parchment, and didn't have to wait long for a reply.

'Hermione,

Of course dear, do what you need to. I have made the necessary arrangements for you to be able to access the school. Harry had informed me, and I was very saddened to hear the news. I am sorry for your loss.

Minerva McGonagall'

She told Ron she was going out, and before he could question her, she apparated to outside the Hogwarts perimeter. A gargoyle was waiting at the gate, and when she said her name it allowed her entry. She walked up to the headmistress's office and Minerva sent the portraits to find the children and tell them they needed to come to her office.

When the children got there Minerva told Hermione that when she was ready to alert the portraits and she would know it was okay to come back, and then exited. Hugo and Rose ran up to her and hugged her tight.

"Is it true about Auntie Ginny?" Rose asked as her eyes filled with tears. "I didn't want to believe it when Albus told us."

"Yes honey, I am so sorry." She hugged them tighter.

They all wept together for a few moments.

"There's something else I need to tell you as well, and I'm sorry that I'm telling you now, whilst you are already upset, but it needs to be said. Do you trust me?"

"Of course we trust you mum." Hugo said.

"Okay well you know me and you're father love you both so much don't you?"

"Yes!" They both said in unison.

"Well, we and your dad haven't been getting along very well recently and I have decided to move to a different house. So you guys need to make a decision."

"Are you guys getting a divorce?" Rose asked, tears threatening to fall from her eyes again.

"Yes honey, I think so. But it's not because of you guys I promise."

"So what is the decision we need to make?" Hugo asked.

"You need to decide who you would like to live with. You don't need to choose now if you don't want to, but I will be going soon."

"I want to live with you mum, if that's okay." Rose told her.

"Of course Rosie. That's perfectly fine."

"Mum, I'm really sorry but can I live with Dad? I still want to see you though." Hugo said.

"Of course, we can sort something out for when you aren't at Hogwarts. So are you both sure of this choice and you're okay with it all?" Hermione asked.

They both nodded at her.

"Okay. Hugo, do you want to go back to class? I just need to talk to Rose on her own." Hermione continued.

"Okay mum, see you soon. Love you."

"I love you to Hugo."

He left and Hermione pulled Rose into another hug.

"So how are you getting on with Scorpius?"

"Yeah he's really lovely; he helps me out with potions. He's really smart!"

"Well that's good then." Hermione smiled.

"Why mummy?"

"Well, we are going to be living with him and his father, but you can't tell him okay. His father is going to tell him soon."

"Wow really? He's my best friend! This is going to be so fun!"

"Yep, but remember keep it quiet young lady." Hermione laughed. "Anyway you best get back to your classes."

"Okay mum, love you."

"I love you to sweetheart."

Hermione told the portrait that it was okay for Minerva to come back. When McGonagall came back, Hermione thanked her for arranging everything then left.

When she got back to the house she saw that Ron had trashed the kitchen and living room.

"What the hell has gone on here?!" She shouted at him.

"I was looking for something."

"And you couldn't put things back?"

"No, couldn't be bothered."

"That's it Ron! I'm done. It's over! I want a divorce!"

"Oh nice, I'll get some peace and fucking quiet!" he shouted.

"Lovely, nice to know that's what you think of me. By the way, I've spoken to the children, and Rose will be coming to live with me wherever I decide to go." She said whilst packing hers and Rose's possessions' into a charmed trunk.

"So the kids knew before me? Now I'm definitely glad I fucked Parvati!"

"WHAT?! When?" Hermione shouted.

"The other night when we argued, I went to The Three Broomsticks, and she was there. She was very comforting." He smirked.

"Well I hope you'll be very happy together. As for me, I'm in love with Draco Malfoy. Goodbye Ronald Weasley." She said as she walked out the door and apparated to the ministry.

She didn't know where else to go. She didn't want to go straight to Malfoy's house because she didn't know whether or not Pansy would still be there or not, or whether she'd be keeping the house. She walked up to Draco's office and saw him sitting at his desk.

Draco:

He looked up to see Hermione standing there struggling to hold a trunk. As he stood up to help her she dropped the trunk and came running up to him throwing his arms around him.

"I did it, I told him. I even told him I was leaving him for you." She cried.

"Smile, bookworm. You did it!"

"He slept with Parvati Patil the other night."

"Yeah, well we can't really comment on that, we have been sleeping together for over 6 months now."

"I know." She smiled.

At last, that dazzling smile was back. Now he just had to keep it there.

"Come on, I'll show you our new home."

She looked up at him in amazement and took his hand. They walked out of the office and he grabbed her trunk. Once they were out of the ministry, they apparated to the country house Draco had brought.

"It's perfect! Rose and Scorpius are going to love it!" Hermione exclaimed.

It was a large 5 bedroom cottage, that looked old fashioned from the inside, but was modern on the inside.

"Hugo wanted to stay with the Weasel then?"

"Yes, I guess so."

"Well he'll love it when he stays with us, I'm sure.

She smiled again.

"Did you talk to Scorpius yet?" She asked.

"Yes, I went to see him last night, he was ecstatic. He's never gotten along with his mother, and he said that Rose is his best friend."

"Rose said the same thing!" Hermione laughed.

She leant up to kiss him and wrapped her arms around him. The high spirits didn't last long unfortunately. An owl flew in with a note attached.

"It's Harry. He says that Ginny's funeral is tomorrow at the church in Ottery St Catchpole, and that he is sorry. He understands now."

Hermione began to cry again as he pulls her close.

"I'll stay close but I won't attend with you if you don't want me to."

"I want you to, I just don't think it would be the best option in light of recent events and the fact that Ron's whole family will be there."

"Okay fair enough. Come on lets unpack your things and make a start on the kids rooms for when they are home. All of mine and Scorpius' things are already here."
