~~
It was a quiet morning at the burrow and the whole house was sleeping except for Hermione. The reason why Hermione wasn't sleeping was that she was waiting for something... a letter. Hermione was told by the ministry the previous day that a letter would arrive that had important information about her parents in Australia, and she had waited hours and hours but there was still no letter to be seen. Hermione was tired... she was beginning to feel drowsy, really fatigued and sleepy, but then she heard something drop on her table. She opened it as fast as she could and read:

Dear Ms Granger,

We have found your parents. We are sorry to inform you that your parents have passed away.

Hermione stared at the letter as tears began to swim in her eyes. It felt like her heart was being torn out of her chest leaving an empty hole that could never be refilled again. Her parents. Her kind, loving parents who had cared for her and raised her since she was a little girl... were now gone and were never to return. With shaking hands she carried on reading:

All of our evidence points to the fact that they were murdered by death eaters, most likely the killing curse. We do not know how they were found and doubt we ever will. We are sorry for your loss and hope you will recover from it, the best way possible.

Kind regards, Kingsley.

Hermione laid down the letter and dropped down in her bed... there were no feelings that could describe this... and she began to think about if she would ever again be the same Hermione Jean Granger.

It is now 3 weeks since Hermione got the letter and since then, she has isolated herself from the rest of the house not wanting to talk to anybody. Mrs Weasley has tried several times and so has Harry... Hermione did feel guilty for ignoring them but since the news about her parents, she couldn't keep it together...every time she tried to answer them back her voice cracked and nothing came out. After a while, everyone decided to give her space to take in the fact that she would never see her parents again. She now understood how Harry felt. To live without parents. But then...she had the Weasleys who always have treated her like she was one of their own, and she was grateful for that. She knew that she had to speak to them soon. She couldn't keep bringing this depressed vibe into the house. They had suffered loss as well. They had lost Fred. George had pretty much lost his other half. Hermione looks over at the door and slowly walks over to it... but for every step, she took the heavier her legs became and they wanted to give up, but Hermione used her remaining strength and will to reach the door. Hermione looked at the door and reached for the handle and with slightly shaking hands, she pulled it open. There was no one outside. She assumed they must be downstairs in the living room. She pulled herself towards the stairs and walked down them. She entered the living room and there sat the Weasleys and Harry. Harry was the first to look up and he and Hermione held eye contact for a moment before Hermione looked down; she didn't know how to get into this conversation. it was like while she had isolated herself from them she had become more distant from them, so she backed out of it... running to her room. She went to her bed and sat down not knowing what to think or do it was like her brain was shut down for the first time ever. She suddenly heard footsteps outside her room and then a soft knock on the door.

"Come in..." She said in a shaky voice. The door was opened and then Harry came in. "Oh hey, Harry." She said. He came in and sat on the bed next to her.

"What's wrong Hermione?" He asked quietly.

"Nothing's wrong Harry," She said, "What do you mean?"

"I know how you feel Hermione...You've lost your parents. That's hard for anyone to go through..." He said sadly. Hermione looked at Harry staring into his emerald eyes and could feel a tear coming down from one of her eyes. Harry walked over to her and gave her a hug... this made Hermione break down... she didn't want Harry to be sad... he has already gone through too much but she couldn't help herself she cried, cried and cried. After a few minutes, Hermione went out of the hug and said "Thanks, Harry..."

"Any time. That's what friends are for "Mione"
