HERMIONE'S PROV

I woke up with a start, soon realising I was not in my bed and that I had fallen asleep on the couch, with Ginny on the armchair opposite me and Harry lying on the floor. I often woke up early; it gave me time to think. The most common thing I would think about was my parents, after the war I went to Australia to recover their memories but when I casted the reverse spell, it turned out that due to me being so scared and worried for the sake of my parents that the spell I casted to protect them was too strong to break, so now I don't have parents, but I considered the Weasley's as family and Harry was not blood related to me but he is still my brother none the less. Today I was going to go shopping for school supplies and decided that I am going to leave after lunch.

I then later got a shower and had my breakfast. Feeling refreshed and with a smile on my face from the memories from last night I decided that it was a nice enough day that I would go outside and read for once. On my way out the door I saw Ron in the kitchen. My smile vanished straight away. He was wearing the same clothes from yesterday, meaning that he was out all night. He hadn't noticed me so I snuck outside and went sitting under my favourite tree, I began to read Hogwarts; a history for the 3rd time this week it seem to always calm me when I get stressed.

I looked up to find that my back was sore from hunching over for so long. It turns out that I had spent 2 hours getting lost in a book. I made my way back up to the burrow so I could have my lunch and leave for my shopping spree. What I didn't intend to find was that Mrs. Weasly had already made lunch and soon told me that they were to all accompany me to Diagon ally because now apparently to some displeasure, all four of them were going back to Hogwarts. Harry and Ginny were smiling, they didn't mind going back but they knew that it was going to be hard at first. Ron however just looked sullen and kept mumbling things but I swear I heard him say that it was my entire fault. I can't believe him; he's acting like a 5 year old.

It took them two hours in total to buy everything they needed and they soon made their way back to the burrow. The second they apparated into the burrow, Ron ran upstairs. I decided that it was now or never that I would end it with Ron. If I left it any longer it will make it harder. After 5 minutes of deciding what I was going to say I went up the stairs to Harry's and Ron's room and pushed the door open.

What I saw next was a shock. I opened the door to find a girls back facing me and Ron kissing her. I scoffed, of course how could I have been so stupid. With the noise I had just made Ron look up from his snog fest and pulled away and to my surprise the girl turned around, and of course it no other than the stupid pea brain Lavender Brown. I realized I could play this up, it was my turn to vent my anger. "WHAT THE HELL RONALD, I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME, BUT I CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THIS WAS ALL A HOAX!" Lavender suddenly diapparated, good because I was about to ex her into next year! "It's not what it looks like!" He tried but that didn't work. Seriously that trick, I could now tell that this had gone on for a long while. "OH REALLY!" I scoffed again, what does he take me for; and idiot? "THEN TELL ME, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? BECAUSE TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WERE ABOUT TO SWALLOW HER WHOLE. YOU KNOW RONALD AT FIRST I THOUGHT YOU CARED, THAT YOU ATCHUATLY DID LOVE ME, THAT I COULD TRUST YOU. BUT THEN IT ONLY RECENTLY HIT ME THAT YOU DON'T CARE, EVERYONE CONRATULATED ME RONALD FOR BECOMING HEAD GIRL, WE THREW A PARTY" I scoffed again. Now realising where he was that night. "WHILST WE HAD A PARTY, YOU WERE PROBBALLY WITH YOUR PRECIOUS LAV-LAV. IT'S FUNNY, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO IS MENT TO LOVE ME AND LISTEN TO ME BUT I WAS JUST YOUR KISSING OBJECT, WASN'T I? EVERYONE KNEW RONALD, EVERYONE KNEW THAT BECOMING HEAD GIRL WAS A LIFE LONG DREAM OF MINE AND GUESS WHAT, YOU DIDN'T. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT MAKES ME FEEL RONALD? " I was breathless. But before Ron could speak I started again. But this time I didn't shout, I was calm but it wasn't soothing, it was a scary calm and this was worse than the shouting. "You know what Ronald before I would have just said that we weren't working out anyways and that we should go back to being friends but now I realised that we weren't friends before, you never listened to me, you never appreciated me and you never cared, I was just a know it all who was venerable, who let you copy her answers and bookworm who fell in love because she thought that you loved her too, well guess what Ronald we weren't friends and we probably never will be. So just stay out my life and way and I'll stay out of yours. Oh, and don't try and turn your family or Harry against me, it won't work. Harry is practically my older brother he would never drop me at the sound of you call. So for Merlin's sake Ronald don't try anything you'll regret because hell isn't nice and I will personally see to it that your life will be one if you try anything. Have a good life Ronald Weasley. I'll see you around." And with that I walked away and just left Ron standing there with his mouth open. Serves him right.

I came down the stairs and headed straight outside with an expressionless face. Harry soon followed after me; he sat down next to me under my favourite tree that was in front of the burrow. "Are you alright? We heard shouting and then it went quiet?" I could tell Harry was ready to hex Ron into oblivion for hurting me but he was calm for my sake. " I'm fine actually, I'm not going to cry over him or hurt because of him for any longer, this is a fresh start and a new school year, anything could happen but the reason for the shouting was because I went up there to end it with him because I knew that it was never going to work. He must have had the same idea." I scoffed and noticed that I did that a lot. Weird. "He was practically swallowing Brown." "What, he was snogging Lavender brown behind your back! I'M GONNA KILL HIM!" I was touched by his gesture but it was pointless. "Don't. The reason for the quiet because I ended up talking in a quieter voice. Threating him saying not to come anywhere near me and to not turn you against me or I will make his life a living hell." I smirked at the look on Harry's face. "Not to be mean or anything but poor guy!" I snapped her head up at the last two words, how dare he, Ron had just cheated on me and harry is saying poor guy. What the hell? But before I could say anything Harry kept talking. "I mean you once did your scary calm voice on me and I nearly peed myself. And to think you threaten him, I've seen you threaten Malfoy but in your scary calm voice, I'm surprised Ron didn't pass out. I would have. Sometimes I think you can be scarier than Voldermort." I smiled at that and then we both broke out into laughter. Not only was Voldermort mentioned and was laughed about for once but it was Harry who had said it. Meaning he was getting better and soon he will be his normal self again probably faster than you could say quidditch. I had missed my old Harry, he seem more distant these days. After two more hours of laughing and joking around we went back up to the burrow and to our surprise everyone was in the living room waiting for us.

Ginny was the first to approach, she hugged me first then went over to her boyfriend. Each Weasley except Ron due to the fact he was know where to be seen and he didn't even care, apologised about his stupid behaviour. I quickly reassured them that I was alright and that I don't care, and that he can be with whoever he chooses from now on. He was nothing to me now, and I don't care.
