When Hermione finally managed to haul herself out of the flat nearly a week had passed. She considered herself lucky that Ron had at least had the smarts to know it was better for him not to show up.
She wasn't sure what she would have done if he had.
Considering how little she remembered of the last few days and the state of her flat, she was pretty sure she'd have done something she might have regretted. Not because he wouldn't have deserved it – because Merlin knew he did – but because she probably wouldn't have kept the memory, seeing as the last week was more or less a big empty black hole of misery and self-pity.
Leaving the place was something she highly needed, and now that she had come back to her senses she felt deeply ashamed of what she had done.
This was not like her, and even after vanishing all the broken items and repairing the rest of the damage, she wanted to feel the wind on her skin and breathe fresh air. Anything to help her get her mind of the fact her fiancé had betrayed her.
Of course, when she stepped outside, it was raining. When she wanted rain, she got sunshine, and now that she longed for warmth, she got icy raindrops – typical.
It didn't matter though. She needed this, and maybe – just maybe – the rain would take her memories with it.
