Many Regards,

Headmistress of Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
I looked up from my letter overjoyed; this is just what I needed. A distraction. Everyone, including me is still suffering from the after-math of the war. With friends and family lost in the war no-one in the Weasley house has been the same. With this, I pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote a reply to McGonagall, accepting her request for me to finish my academic studies. I tied my reply slip to my owl and sent it away with a treat. Just as I did, Ron bursted in. "There's no way we're going back to that hell hole, I can't believe McGonagall would even think we would consider let alone accept!" Ron was furious, the after-math hit him hard. He was taller now but he was skinny and not in a good way. We have been dating since the kiss that happened in the chamber of secrets; so far it was going okay. After the war, Ron ate less and didn't speak much. It was me who was the one who got him eating again. His cheeks were flushed and matched his flame red hair. He pulled up a chair and sat next to me at my desk. "Er, Ron you see I hav-" I began but was interrupted by Ron, "I mean seriously, asking us 'The Golden Trio'" he said adding air quotes to make it more dramatic. "The ones who saved the wizarding world from destruction and the ones who killed Voldermort. We were mostly impacted, so why in heavens-earth would that old bag think it's a good idea to just go 'hey you were dramatised and are scarred for life, why don't you come back to the place where it all happened so we can torment yo-" It was all too much, I just couldn't take it anymore, " FOR GODS SAKES RONALD SHUT UP! WE WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES GREATLY IMPACTED AND WE WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES WHO TOOK DOWN VOLDERMORT, SO JUST SHUT UP AND BESIDES I'VE ALREADY SENT MY SLIP BACK SAYING I WOULD LOVE TO ATTEND DUE TO THE FACT THAT BEING HERE IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!" I finished with a huff. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'VE ALL READY ACCEPTED?" Ron was now confused and furious. "WELL RONALD, IF YOU LET ME EXPLAIN BEFORE YOU THREW YOURSELF A MASSIVE PITTY PARTY. I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT I HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO BE HEAD GIRL AND THAT THIS IS A BIG THING FOR ME, BUT YOU WOULDN'T THAT BECAUSE ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS KISSING, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF MY DREAMS SINCE I STARTED HOGWARTS WHEN WE WERE LITTLE BECUASE YOU NEVER LISTEN. SO I WOULD JUST LOVE IT IF YOU JUST LEFT RIGHT NOW SO I CAN LOOK OVER MY SCHEDULE FOR THIS YEAR. THANK YOU!" And with that I sat back into her chair, when had i gotten up? I pulled out my list with everything I needed for this following year and my schedule. Ron had taken the hint and left. I knew that her relationship with Ron wasn't meant to last. So I made a promise to myself to break it off with Ron before I left, so I can start anew.
I looked up noticing that it was now night fall. I have successfully memorized my schedule. Just as I got up, Mrs. Weasley called from downstairs that dinner was ready. Mrs. Weasley was chirpy but she was still mourning over her losses. Her eyes were a lot darker now and she was very fragile. I couldn't wait to tell everyone that I will be going back as the head girl. I quickly helped lay the table with Ginny, who was probably doing the best out of the Weasley family. She was eating well and she was not as sad and as gloomed as everyone else. Harry descended from the stairs and was greeted by everyone saying hi in chorus. Harry has lost a lot of weight; luckily Ginny was there to make sure he actually ate something. His raven black hair was always a mess and he rarely changed out of his pjs. He hugged Ginny tightly resting his chin on the top of her head. Hermione often thought that without Ginny there to guide him, Harry would be lost and confused and probably and eventually give up.
After dinner was served George spoke for the first time in a few days, He was still upset about the loss of his twin but he still ate. His hair was more limp orange than fiery red as it once was. His voice was weak from being so quiet for so long but because it was George everyone heard him ask his question. "Where's Ron?" Now noticing that Ron was not at the table everyone looked towards me. "We got into a fight earlier about Hogwarts." And with that everyone looked down and all was heard was 'oh'. So I tried to elaborate on what happened to distract them. "He started saying stuff like we were the only ones harshly impacted by the war and that McGonagall shouldn't have even thought about sending us requesting letters. So I then stated that we weren't the only ones impacted and that he should be more considerate. He then said that there was no way that we even would go back there, which then led to me telling him how I reply already saying yes and that I was also given the position of being Head Girl." I finished my story and was breathless, half expecting everyone to keep their heads down and just think over everything. But to my surprise Harry got up and ran around the table and picked me up and placed me on his shoulders to be Head Girl, I can't believe it!" And with that he pulled me into another hug and whispered quietly into my ear, "I'm so proud of you, one of your biggest dreams has come true, I remember when I first met you said that you hoped that one day you would be Head Girl, and here you are now. I could not have asked for a better sister than you Hermione." When he pulled away he noticed I was now crying. Lifting his thumb up to my cheek, he wiped away hmy tear. Instinctively he noticed that I was not crying due to joy, I was crying because I was sad. But also instinctively he knew I did not want to talk about it because I then put on her fake reassuring smile. Harry knew that I was upset but little did he know that I was upset due to the fact that Harry and Ron had know me for the same amount of time, but only now that I realised that only Harry had ever bothered to listen to me, that only Harry would do nice things for me to say thank you for all the times I had helped them with things reaching from homework to destroying Voldermort. That only Harry cared and that Ron didn't love me, he just loved kissing me, and I couldn't take it no longer. Tomorrow I will end it but tonight we were to celebrate and be happy for the first time in ages.
