Hermione granger walked into the ministry with her two friends at her side, with a passive face,showing no emotions as the workers of the ministry eyed her,some with pity and some with pride to see her strong exterior.

Although she had thought that anger was the only emotion in her at the moment,she knew deep down how hurt she was and most probably would cry herself to sleep the next few days.
She hoped her new neighbour (of she had one)  would hopefully not be able to hear her.

A bit blinded by the endless photographs the reporters were chasing them for,she decided that apparating would be better halfway to the ministry.

So in a snap,the three were into the ministry.

"Hermione!"

She looked behind her to see her assistant, Jenny rushing towards her.

"Hi jenny." She greets her with a faint smile.

"Hi,I needed to tell you that-um the divorce papers you asked for-here." She replies nervously,handing a pile of papers to the brunette.

"Thank you.I'll be...off now." The brunette nods.

"Oh and um Hermione?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry,I'll cover up for you as long as you want,he really didn't deserve you." Jenny smiles a bit at her.

"Yeah-it's alright jenny,thanks." Although Hermione was grateful for Jenny as her assistant,she hated pity.It made her feel like the wimp she was NOT.

If she was,she would have just called the divorce papers home.But she,being minister of magic,wanted to show people that she didn't have to cry over some excuse of a husband she had.
And so she did.

"I know you hate being pitied Hermione.And I'm not doing that,I'm just assuring you that I'll cover up for you." Jenny smiles knowingly.

This brought a smile to Hermione's face.
"Thank you Jenny." She grinned at the blonde.

"Go home and relax, yeah?" Jenny grinned as she walked off.

"I will..."
She stares of after the blonde and heads back to her friends.

"Hermione!" Ginny gets up,drawing harry's attention to her as well.

"How'd it go? When will the papers arrive,do you have them now? When are you divorcing him?" Ginny rushed.

Hermione sighed.
"Relax ginny.Now I just have to get home and wait for Ron." Hermione looked down.

"C'mon then,let's go."

The three apparate back to her home at that moment and ginny walks up to the counter and sits up on it while harry plops down on the couch,leaving hermione standing by the doorway,not wanting to sit nor stand.

POP

She motions for harry and Ginny to hide by the couch before Ron could reach the living.

"Is it who I think it is?" Hermione whispers to the couple with widened eyes.

Ginny nods slowly from behind the couch and Hermione soon turns around to find a smiling Ron weasley.

"Love! I'm sorry I just walked away last night,I was staying at Harry and ginny's for the night but I realised how much I love you.I'm not mad at you for last night." Ron smiled,grabbing her waist and pulling her to him.

She pulls away sharply.
"It's too late for that Ron." She glares at him.

"What? It's 9:30 in the morning love." Ron chuckles again.
"I need to give you something Ron..." Hermione walks over to the kitchen island and grabs the papers with a shaking hand."

"Yes love?" Ron looks down at the papers and in confusion.

"Here." She hands the papers to him and sits back down, glaring at the red-head.

He reads the papers for a moment,staring in disbelief.

"What?.... I don't get it...is this a joke?" Ron looks up at her with a confused face and wide eyes.

"It's a sorry gift from me to you." She replies,not making eye contact with him.
"I'm sorry for marrying you..." She adds,tears forming in her eyes.

"But-why hermione? How could you hurt me like this? What have I even done?" He yells at her.

She chuckles,bittersweet.
"Hurt you? How ironic ron. And cheating on me wasn't hurting me? huh? And then you lie about staying at harry and ginny's?" She raises her voice.

Just then,harry and ginny get out from behind the couch and glare daggers at him.

"Harry-ginny...I-How? I don't know what you're talking about!" He frowns.

Just then, Hermione shoves the daily prophet in his face.

He reads the headlines and a mixture of emotions of fear appear on his face.
He reads it twice,then again.Then he looks at the photos beside it and gulps.

"I-I...I must be drunk,I swear I didn't mean it hermione! Love?" Ron cries.

"Fine,you made out,but the prophet found you on a bed with this slut Ron!" A few tears make there way down her cheeks.

"but-but I-I swear it was just a one-time fling!"

"You didn't remember you were married?"

"I-love please I-

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT WORD RON! JUST SIGN THE PAPERS AND GET OUT OF HERE!" She shrieks which startles all three of them.

"I-I-we married! We can't just separate like that! You're my wife!" Ron starts to stutter.

" Sign it and leave! You're not my husband anymore and neither am I your wife!" She yells at his face.

"IT'S NOT FAIR HERMIONE! WHEN YOU DO MISTAKES I ALWAYS GIVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE,AND YOU CAN'T DO THE SAME?"

This was unbelievable.
How could he be so dumb? Why did she fall in love with this man of a git? This wasn't a sight she was unused to though, it happened all the time.He was just so....immature at times when he wanted to blame people!
"WHO ARE YOU HUH? IT'S ALWAYS MY FAULT? IT IS ALWAYS YOU BEING AN IMMATURE GIT AND YOU BLAME ME FOR IT? I'VE NEVER CHEATED ON YOU,NOR HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU THAT I-I DIDN'T LOVE YOU!!!

By this,Hermione had started sobbing again.

"HER-"
"SHUT UP Ron!" Ginny spat at him as she sat down beside the brunette and rubbed her back.

"Sign it and go ron." Harry turns to him sharply.

"I will not sign it! Not until you let me talk about it! You are being ridiculous!"
With that Ron had disapparated away.







..........................

Once hermione had calmed down,she gathered up Ron's things,sent them to the burrow,and removed all their photos together from the walls and charmed them flying to the burrow into ron's room,making weird canary noises saying 'Ronald weasley is a git'.And in clear view to the people on the street as the frames and pictures flew in sight.
She knew it would embarrass him.She wanted that.
