A Magical New Start

Chapter 1

The war is over and now I must move on with my life. I did not know where to start. There are so many dark shadows and memories following me. But I had to move on but not forget. I have decided to move in with my Uncle and cousin in America. This was a new start for me. But now I had to break the news to everyone I care for and I don't know how they will feel about it.

I walked down to the stairs at the Burrow and into the kitchen. There I saw Molly cooking. She smiled to me and I asked,

"Do you need any help Molly?"

"No dear. I am almost done with lunch. How about just sit down and relax." Molly said.

I nodded and sat right down. I was nervous to tell everyone, but I knew I had to. They had a right to know. I was going to miss them all, but I just can't move on. I already talked to Kingsley and he understood. He was going to give me this wonderful job in any department of the Ministry.

"Molly, can I talk to you about something?" I asked.

She turned around and sat next to me. She gave me a look and I continue explaining,

"I think it's time for me to move on. I have been thinking of going to live with my uncle and cousin in America."

Molly looked at me and asked,

"What made you think this up? You know that we all love you and would want you to stay. Is there a reason?"

"Everything is just hitting me, and I just need some time to get away and find my own meaning. Harry has Ginny and they are moving forward as a family. Ron and I tried to be together like everyone wanted but it didn't work out. He is now following his dream as an Aurors. Plus with Fred being gone... I It just doesn't feel right. Everyone is trying to move on, but I just feel stuck. I need something new and I think this will be a good start for me." I explained to her.

"Well, if you think it is what you need then you go for it. Just don't forget that we are here for you as your family and we will always be here for you if you need us. Fred would be so proud to see you trying to find your path. He wouldn't want you to be stuck in the past." Molly said.

I got up and hugged Molly. She was the best. Molly really cared for me and was like a second mother to me. I was so thankful to have her and the Weasley family in my life. We heard everyone else coming in from outside or work. I sighed and let go of Molly. She directed us all outside. I knew I should talk to Harry and Ron first, but I just wanted to get it over with everyone at once. It was hard to tell Molly what my plans were.

Everyone was enjoying the lunch that Molly had made. I knew that it was sooner or later to tell them. I took a deep breath and looked over to Molly. I nodded, and Molly spoke up and said,

"Alright, Hermione came to me earlier and said that she wanted to share something with all of us. So please keep a mind open to what she has to say."

Everyone looked at me and I stood up and said,

"I have been thinking about this for a while and I think it's time for me to move on. I will be moving to America and living with my uncle and cousin in America. I just need time to get away. I think this will do good for me."

"WHAT!" Ron screamed in shock. "Mum you can't let her go. We need her here."

"Hermione can do whatever she pleases to do Ronald. None of us can stop her. Even if we would want her to stay." Molly spoke up.

"But she can't. She is needed here for her family, her job, and me." Ron spatted.

"Ron, I am not yours to control. I will be going. I know that my family is here, but I actually have family in America that I haven't seen in a long time. I don't have a job here to worry about. I already talked to Kingsley and he understood. I already talked to Molly and she is understanding. What do you need me for? Ron this is my life and I need to move on. It's time to start a new chapter. I am always going to be here for you all and I know that you are all going to be there for me. But this is what I am going to do." I stated.

"I just want you happy. If this is what you need to do, then I will be there for you." Harry spoke up and gave me a hug.

I nodded, and we went back to lunch. I answered a few questions and the biggest question was asked. George asked,

"Where in America will you be staying? Where does your uncle and cousin live?"

"Fork, Washington."
