Chapter 1

It has been three years since the war when the golden trio defeated the Dark Lord. It has been a year since Harry and Ron started training to become Aurors so that they could help people.

Hermione is still undecided with what she wants after the war. She thought that she knew what she wanted, but now she is not so sure anymore. She realized that since she met Harry and Ron, her life revolved around them and she always wants to help Harry.

It's been two years since she moved to the Burrow with the Weasleys. She sleeps in Bill's old room because he now lives at the shell cottage with Fleur. Harry shares with Ron and the twins have their own flat above their shop and comes back home once a week. Charlie still in Romania and Percy stayed with his fiancée.

"MUM!"

Hermione, who was helping Mrs Weasley in the kitchen by setting the table, and Mrs Weasley immediately, looked for the source of the voice. Fred and George grinned widely and quickly gave their mother a hug.

"Stop suffocating me!" Hermione tried to push them away.

"Aww Mione." Fred grinned, "We missed you, too." George loosened his grip and put his hand on Hermione shoulder while Fred put his hand around her waist.

Hermione just shook her head. "So, how's the new branch?" She looked at George and then looked at Fred.

It was miracle that Fred survived the war. When Hermione saw him lying on the ground, she thought that they had lost him forever.

The twins dragged them to the living room and Hermione gave Molly an apologetic look.

"It's doing well." Fred quickly pulled her to the couch and George sat next to her. "We have a lot of new products and-"

Hermione quickly got up from the couch and stared at them. Her eyes narrowed. "Don't you dare use me for your experiments!"

The twins exchanged their gander towards each other and chuckled. "We're not!" they spoke in unison "yet"

Hermione folded her arms and glare at them. "I swear Fred, George if-" Hermione sentence cut short.

She was interrupted by the green flames of the floo network. Bill Weasley walks out from them. His face looked dark and when he noticed Hermione and the twins were there he gave them a smile, but it was a sad and tired smile. The twins and Hermione looked at him with concern. His shoulders were slumped; his handsomely scarred face looked utterly devastated.

"Is mum here?" He asked the twins. They quickly nodded and told him that Molly was in the kitchen. Bill quickly went to the kitchen after giving the twins quick hugs and pats over Hermione's shoulder.

Hermione and the twins exchanged looks. "I wonder if something happened." Hermione said as she worriedly bit her lip.

"It must be something bad; it's been a long time we saw him like that." Fred got up from the couch and put his hand around Hermione's shoulder. "Do you want to eavesdrop?"

Hermione shook her head, "It's not nice." She frowned but admitted that she really did want to know what happened to him. She wondered if it was because of Fleur or his work at Gringotts?

George got up and he immediately pulled Hermione and Fred by the kitchen's door to eavesdrop. Hermione wished to protest but she gave in because she was curious as well.

That was when she heard Bill sobbing. Hermione was shocked because she never heard him cry before. Meanwhile, Molly was trying to calm her oldest son down so she could find out what was wrong.

"I-I thought that she loved me." Hermione try to understand what he said between his sobbing and breaking voice. "She left me and I signed the paper in angry state. I wasn't thinking before I signed it. After that, she just left without even looking at me one last time"

Fleur left him! That thought caused Hermione to gasp. Fred quickly put his hand to Hermione's mouth and gave her a look that told her to be quiet. Hermione nodded, knowing that they couldn't be caught eavesdropping.

Hermione felt bad for Bill, he is an amazing man. He fought at Hogwarts in her 6th year that resulted in him getting wounded by a werewolf. Then he bravely fought in the battle of Hogwarts a year later.

Hermione tapped Fred and George's shoulders to tell them that she was done listening and quietly walked away. She sat on the couch, as if she never got up to listen to Bill's troubles. It was almost dinner time; Ron, Harry, Ginny, and Mr Weasley will be home soon. She took her book from the coffee table. She was not reading it, but just wanted to hold it.

Why? Why would Fleur leave Bill? Hermione had barely spoken with him before, but she knows that Bill is very kind and loyal. She could see it in his eyes that he really loves Fleur.

Fred and George walked into the room and sat next to Hermione. Fred was on her right whilst George was on her left.

"Poor Bill." Fred muttered, "Yeah, that mean we no longer have a half veela sister-in-law." George smirked and put his hand on Hermione thigh and gave it a light pat. "Thank Merlin that we still have Hermione here." He looked at her naughtily and Fred did the same gesture. "Yeah…I hope no one will steal our kitten here." He pinched her cheek lightly.

Hermione scoffed, "Stop making me your pet."

"NEVER!" They said in unison and made Hermione scowl.

"Kitten, why don't you work at our Shop?" Fred suggested, his brows rose,

"Good idea Freddy. Hermione work with us." George smiled widely.

"NO, thank you. If I was anywhere with you both for twenty four hours straight, I would go insane." She said as she shook her head.

"Ouch, that hurt our feelings Mione." They grinned while Hermione rolled her eyes at them.

The green flames appeared again, Ron and Harry walked through them with a smiles on their faces. Hermione quickly got up and gave them hugs. "How was training today?" She asked.

They both hugged her back, "Great and very tiring." Hermione smile at them, "You both are doing great. I know you two will be amazing Aurors"

"Thanks Mione." Harry caressed Hermione's cheeks, "Is Ginny home yet?"

Hermione shook her head and at that moment the green flames appeared again to reveal Mr Weasley followed by Ginny with her Quidditch uniform. Harry quickly walked to his girlfriend and Ron and Hermione joined the twins. Mr Weasley walked to the kitchen to greet his wife.

"What's for dinner?" Ron asked Hermione.

Hermione looked at him with narrowed eyes "Why are you asking me?"

The twins laughed, "Yeah Ron, Why are you asking Mione? She's not your wife, she's our pet." Fred and George quickly hugged Hermione and Ron rolled his eyes. "I'll ask mum." Ron walked towards the kitchen, but stopped when Bill walked into the living room.

"Bill!" Ron looked at him excitedly, but stopped when he saw how puffy his face was. There were still tear stains running down his face. Bill looked bad, even though he was smiling at his brother. Ginny quickly walked to her oldest brother and embrace him.

"What happened?" Hermione could hear Ginny asking him. All eyes were now focused on Bill.

"I got divorced." He said calmly.

"WHAT!" The living room echoed with Ron and Ginny's voices. Ginny's face looked angry and Hermione could tell that she was blaming it all on Fleur. Ginny bit her lip while Harry rubbed her back in an effort to calm her. Ron looked dumbfounded and still looks at Bill.

"What happened?" Ron asked him.

Bill shrugged, "I don't know what I did wrong." He tried to hold himself from crying again. "She just said that she wanted a divorce because she can't stand me anymore. Then she forced me to sign the paper and then left." Ron walked closer to his oldest brother and patted his shoulder.

Where is Charlie when we need him? Ron thought.

After dinner, the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione sat in front of the fireplace. Bill, Arthur, and Molly sat on the couch. Harry and Ginny sat on the loveseat while Ron on the single chair. Hermione and the twins sat on the floor.

"Since when did those three become so close?" Bill asked Ron.

Ron shrugged, "Since Hermione started living with us. They decided that that she was their pet." He shook his head while Bill chuckled. "What happen to Ginny? I thought Ginny is their favourite sister."

Ron snorted, "Not anymore, since Ginny officially became Harry's girlfriend and she kept ignoring them. They moved their target to Hermione"

"Hermione handles them better than I do." Molly interjected. Bill eyes widened as he looked at his mother in disbelief. "Really?" Molly nodded.

Bill looked at the brunette with amazement; his youngest brother's best friend was all grown up. She looked rather nice and feminine. Bill never noticed that before, her curly hair was no longer bushy like when was when she was fourteen. It was tame now and cascaded down her back like a beautiful, silken waterfall. She looked beautiful when she laughed at the twin's jokes.

"You're not jealous Ron?" Bill whispered to him.

Ron shook his head, "No, she's my best friend. I'm happy if she's happy." Bill's brow rose, "I thought you dated her a while ago"

Ron smirked. "Yeah, only for two weeks. We realized that it felt wrong and decided to stay best friends. Right now I'm dating Luna. She's awesome." He grinned.

Bill patted his brother's shoulder, "That's great Ron." Bill looked at his mother "Mum, I think I will stay here tonight. I don't think I can go back to Shell Cottage for a while."

Molly looked at him with understanding in her eyes. That home reminds him of Fleur and their memories. Molly smiled, "Of course you can dear; I'll fix a bed up for you. You can sleep in Ron's room."

Hermione looked at Molly and Bill, "I can sleep with Ginny, let Bill have his room back." She smiled warmly at Bill.

Bill shook his head, "No, it's okay Hermione."

Hermione got up, "No, Ron's room is too small for the three of you. I will sleep with Ginny. You can have that room for yourself tonight." She looked at Molly. Molly approved of her decision. "I'll fix your bed Bill." Hermione smiled and climbed up the stairs.

"She's very nice." He said.

They twins grinned "Of course she is, she's our pet" The twins said in unison and made all of them laugh.

To be continue.
