IDK if you guys can even read what it says in the pic, but it made me laugh so flippin hard when I saw it! That's seriously all Tom does in the first part of this book xD

Also, little disclosure, the lines in italics you're about to read are from the Harry Potter books. I researched like Sam Winchester to find these quotes, and they are not mine, but the work of JK Rowling :)

Now that we've covered that, enjoy!!

Hermione tossed in her bed, her legs getting tangled in the sweat-dampened sheets.

"It's no wonder no one can stand her, she's a nightmare, honestly."

"Hermione, Neville's right – you are a girl..."

"Oh well spotted," Hermione said acidly

"You're not going with anyone, you just said that to get rid of Neville!"

"Viktor? Hasn't he asked you to call him Vicky yet?"

"You're fraternizing with the enemy, that's what you're doing!"

He mimicked her voice. "You added Felix Felicis to Ron's juice this morning, that's why he saved everything! See! I can save goals without help, Hermione!"

"Go home then!" Harry yelled.

"Yeah, maybe I will!"

"Take off the locket, Ron. Please take it off. You wouldn't be talking like this if you hadn't been wearing it all day."

"Are you staying or what?"

"I...Yes – yes I'm staying. Ron, we said we'd go with Harry, we said we'd help – "

"I get it. You choose him."

"Ron, no – please – come back, come back!"

Hermione launched herself forward and started punching every inch of him that she could reach. "You – crawl – back – here – after – weeks – and – weeks – oh, where's my wand?"

"Hermione! Calm – "

"Don't you tell me what to do, Harry Potter! Give me back my wand! And YOU! I came running after you! I called you! I begged you to come back!"

"I know. Hermione, I'm sorry, I'm really – "

"Oh, you're sorry! You come back here after weeks – weeks – and you think it's all going to be all right if you just say you're sorry?"

"I wanted to come back the minute I'd Disapparated!"

"I heard you. Your voice came out of this Deluminator. You said my name. 'Ron.'"

"After you left, Ron, she cried for a week. Probably longer, only she didn't want me to see. There were loads of nights when we never even spoke to each other. With you gone..."

Hermione opened her eyes. She stared at the ceiling. Ron.

Their relationship had been anything but perfect.

Except at the end.

He had come back. Had helped destroy the locket.

He had saved her. Had given his life for her.
