"The saddest thing about betrayal is that it comes from not your enemies but your dear ones"

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was only the next morning at about 7:30 in the morning when Hermione woke up,her cheeks sticky from the tears she had shed the previous night.

Usually,after a fight she would be sulky the next few days but...
However this morning,she was hopeful that she could fix the broken relationship between her and Ron.
A few weeks off from the ministry ,a holiday to an expensive country ,cooking for him ,doing everything like he liked it...it would fix it all right?

Sure,it would be extremely hard for her to do all of this,especially since taking weeks off from the ministry could be extremely dangerous but...she was willing to do it fro Ron.
He loved her didn't he? Last night's words couldn't have meant anything right? That was enough for her.

She got off the bed and walked to the closet to get some clothes and freshen up before Ron could arrive back.
She was so sure he would come back because no matter what,he always did.

Today was a nice day,so she dressed up nicely as well...for Ron.
She found a nice black pencil dress,both formal for the ministry and she looked good in it too.

So she picked it up and headed to the bathroom for a nice warm shower,it was pretty cold outside too.

The warm water soothed her nerves and she was back to the cheerful Hermione granger she usually was.It was very rare for her to be so happy after a fight,so why not make the most of it?

She walked out all ready and fresh,her hair held in loose curls and with a flick of her wand,a cup of coffee appears on the kitchen island in front of her and the daily prophet comes flying into her hands.

The cup shatters to the ground.
It's all a dream.
It's all a dream.
It's all a dream.
It's all a dream....

Knock knock knock

"No no no no no...I-I-" She falls onto the ground,her eyes widened in shock and tears pooling into her eyes.

Knock.Knock.Knock.Knock knock knock.

But hermione was too busy in her own head too even go open the door.

Suddenly,a pop from behind that brings her tears down to finally fall.

She expects someone to speak as she spills all her tears out.She wants to sob but nothing would even come out of her throat.
For once,Hermione granger,was speechless.

No noise.
She's beginning to wonder if the pop was really someone apparating or not.Surely the person would've said something regarding her tears?

A hand on her shoulder brings her head to finally look up to meet the eyes of the stranger.

"Ha-Harry?" She manages to croak out.

"Hermione-" Before he could finish speaking another pop interrupts them.

Ginny.

"HOW DARE HE!!!" The red-head bellows in the scariest voice hermione had ever heard her speak in.

"Ginny..." Harry interrupts her glare and ginny looks down to the broken brunette.Her eyes immediately soften and she sighs deeply.

"Hermione..."

This time,hermione finally manages to find her voice.

"No.How? I-He has a wife!" She yells at particularly no one.

"Hermione,he really doesn't deserve you crying over him." Ginny says strongly but hermione could see her bottom lip trembling at the sight before her.

"But ginny-I-I was going to fix it all! He couldn't just give me a chance?" She tries to speak clear but all she manages are faint whispers.

Suddenly,the red-head rushes towards her and before she knows it,wraps her into one of the famous weasley bear hugs.
Boy,she had bone-crushing hugs.Just like her mother.

"Shush,shush hermione,we're all here with you!" Ginny whispers in her soothing voice.

"Thank you g-gin." Hermione begins to sob all over again.

Ginny and harry help her onto the couch and wait for her to calm down a bit.

But anger found Hermione earlier than she thought it would.
"I can't believe him!" She yelled.

"Yes hermione,neither of us can.How did this even happen? Did you two get into a fight yesterday?" Harry asks.

"Yeah,about my work,like usual,I was busy with a file, talking to Carl,and then Ron suddenly appears and starts accusing me for nothing! And then,he calls me a workaholic! I'm sick of this harry! He's always jealous of me being the minister of magic.He won't let me do my work properly!" She cries even more.

"I'm going to make him regret it.I-I..." She was heartbroken,but this was Hermione granger we're talking about.She could get over a heartbreak right?

"First,I'm going to file a divorce,then kick Ron out of my house since I'm paying for it.Gin,he-he told me he didn't love me yesterday!" She begins to sob again,all the anger forgotten...

"What the heck!" Ginny's eyes filled with rage.But then she sits back down ad softens as Hermione cries even more.

"I'm going to kill that stupid excuse of a weasley today!" Ginny's eyes shine maliciously.

"Take the week off Hermione,you need it now.We'll help you look for a new and better place and help you file the divorce..." Harry hugs the brunette.

"Yeah-I already did-For Ron to fix it all bu-" She takes a few deep breaths and opens her eyes to see two proud faces.

"You really are the strongest women I've ever seen Hermione!" Ginny smiles.

She knew it was only so she would stop crying over him but it still worked.

"You're right ginny...I've been through so much worse...I'll get over it." She wipes her eyes onto her sleeves and breathes deeply.

"She isn't the brightest witch of her age for nothing right?" Harry adds.

"I'm going to...file a divorce..." Hermione sniffs a bit before getting up and putting her boots on.

"What? You know you can just get the divorce papers at your home right? Don't you think it wouldn't be right to go outside no-

"No harry,I need to show people that I'm not the one to be crying over him...and besides,the prophet will be making some silly excuse of an article,in which I'll be a crybaby anyways.I won't let that happen." She interrupts him.

"Let us go with you...?" Ginny has that pleading look that suddenly forms gratefulness in hermione's heart.
Harry and Ginny get up as well.

"Guys,harry you have to go right? And I thought Ginny had team practice today?" Hermione questions.

"Are you daft hermione? Our best friend is hurt and we can't even take off leave?" Ginny grins.

"Thanks guys...you didn't have to." Hermione hugs both of them as they walk out and she closes the door behind them.

This was one of the moments when Hermione was extremely grateful for the friends she had.
