Leaving
Hermione was raised in a nuclear family. She'd wanted that for her children, too. So, she'd married Ron, and Hugo and Rose had soon come along. She felt content: her life was falling into place.
Years went by before a certain blond Slytherin had re-entered her life through her work. She soon found a familiar dangerous attraction to him gaining momentum once more.
A realisation soon hit her: her life had become bland and boring - miserable. The excitement of her youth was long gone.
She spent months trying to fight it, but nothing worked.
After the dinner plates had been cleared one March evening, she turned to Ron.
"I'm leaving you."
The silence was as loud as an atom bomb.
