Chapter 1- A Bad Day with Bad News

It was a beautiful August afternoon in Hogesmade. The small village was filled with excited people who were preparing for the school term in Hogwarts to start. The sound of crushed fallen leaves was in the air as everyone carried on with their daily routine. One person however wasn't as excited as the others.

Lying, cheating, good-for-nothing asshole, angrily thought one woman, rushing to get away from somewhere.

People around her recognized her by simply looking at her. She wore a pair of jeans with a light blue shirt and a windbreaker jacket. Her sneakers would make loud noises as she rushed down the street. The one thing that was hard to miss was her bushy honey brown hair. It was none other than Hermione Granger, and she was having a really bad day.

She had caught her boyfriend, Ron, with his ex-girlfriend, Lavender Brown, in bed at the apartment they shared. Hermione's heart started to break when she saw them asleep in bed. Her reaction was quick and loud. She screamed Ron's name in a sad sob. It scared the two secret lovers awake. When Ron saw her, he immediately started to explain.

It wasn't the first time they had slept together. They had been secretly seeing each other for the past month. Ron blamed her working late as the reason for the affair. When hearing this, Hermione got pissed…really pissed.

She gathered her things as Ron tried to ask for her forgiveness. He even told Lavender their relationship was over to prove to Hermione he wouldn't do it again. But it was too late. After she gathered her things and placed them in her enchanted purse, she hexed Ron. The last words to him were "I hope she was worth it." Then she Apparated.

She didn't know where she was heading. All she knew was she didn't want to be there. She had Apparated in the dark, quiet streets of Diagon Alley. She walked down the streets for awhile, trying to gather her thoughts. The night's events didn't truly hit her until she started to think about old memories. She couldn't believe what had happened. Everyone thought they would be a great couple and they were until a month ago.

They started arguing more when Hermione started her job at Flourish & Blotts. He complained that he hardly got to see her due to her long hours at work. She never thought that he would do something to hurt her despite the problems they had. But he proved her wrong which hurt her to admit.

After walking for a few hours, she decided to stay at the Leaky Cauldron for the night. Though she knew she wouldn't get much sleep, she wanted to be alone to prepare for what tomorrow might bring.

When morning came, Hermione got dressed and headed to the fireplace. She decided to fire-call her close friend, Luna Lovegood. Despite their different beliefs, Luna had proven to be a great friend to her when she needed someone. If anyone could provide her a listening ear, it would be Luna.

Luna was getting ready for work when Hermione fire-called her. She was happy to hear from Hermione but knew in an instant that something was wrong. Hermione asked her to meet her at the Three Broomsticks in Hogesmade after she got off from work. She said yes which made Hermione a little happy. They said their goodbyes and Hermione ended the connection.

After talking to Luna, Hermione walked the short distance to her job. If anything could temporarily occupy her mind, it would be work. Luckily for her, it was another busy day due to students getting their books for school. She was able to leave work early enough to head to Hogesmade before meeting Luna at the Three Broomsticks which brought her to where she was at the moment.

Every time a memory of Ron came to Hermione, she would come up with an insult in her head. So far she had come up with over 100 before finally entering the Three Broomsticks.

Arriving earlier than planned, Hermione sat down at the table nearest to the fireplace. She opened her purse and pulled out one of her favorite books, Hogwarts: A History. Books had always been Hermione's escape from the world. So it was no surprise that after only reading the first two pages, she was hooked. She was so engulfed in her book that she didn't notice someone approaching her table. So it wasn't a big surprise that she jumped when someone said, "Good to see you, Hermione."

She looked at the direction the voice came from. She was surprised by the person in front of her. She had to do a double take to be sure who it was that stood before her. But she couldn't ignore that scar.

"Harry?" Hermione asked, still a little surprised.

"Yes, 'Mione, it's me." Her best friend, Harry Potter, said.

If it wasn't for Harry's scar, Hermione would have a little trouble recognizing him. He didn't look like the Harry she was used to seeing. He always appeared decently dressed with his hair somewhat tamed and a sparkle in his eyes. The person before her looked like he hadn't slept in a week. He had a slight beard growing and the sparkle in his eyes seemed to be gone. The one thing that stuck out about him besides the scar was his clothes. He wore a short-sleeved red shirt underneath a blue plaid button up shirt with a pair of blue jeans and sneakers. They were the only thing that looked somewhat clean.

Hermione was somewhat at a lost for words for a few seconds before she finally said, "It's good to see you, too, Harry."

She got up from her seat and went to give him a big hug. After the hug, they both took a seat at the table. Hermione put her book away while Harry looked around the pub. To Hermione, it looked like he was trying to find someone. He's trying to find Ron., she thought. She didn't know how Harry was going to react to what had happened. But she knew that he needed to know. But how was she going to tell him that his best friend cheated on her with his ex?

Finally, after he stopped looking, Harry turned to Hermione and asked, "Where's Ron?"

"He's at his apartment, recovering from that awful hex I left him with." She answered, angry.

Harry was taken aback by her answer. Though he knew Hermione to be straight forward, it surprised him how blunt she was. He couldn't comprehend what she had said. What the hell did he do that she left him with a hex? I hope he didn't do something stupid., thought Harry, trying to figure out what Ron might have done.

Hermione must have read his mind when she started to tell Harry what happened. She told him about everything from the problems they had been having to catching Ron with Lavender in bed, together to now. Recalling last night's events were awakening the pain she felt when it happened. She fought back the tears, trying not to let it bother her. When she finished, a tear slid down Hermione's face. Harry got up from his chair and sat down next to Hermione. He placed an arm around her and gave her a comforting hug.

"He's a bloody asshole for doing that to you. He'll realize what he did was a big mistake."

"I just can't believe that he threw away a year together for a fling with his ex. How can he be so daft? I gave him my heart and he broke it in a million pieces. I thought he was the one, Harry."

"Everything will be okay, Hermione. You'll find someone who will be a way better boyfriend to you than Ron ever was." He was trying to help her feel better.

"I don't know, Harry. I just don't see the positive in being in love anymore."

"It's okay. I believe that you'll find someone." He gave her another hug.

"I hope you're right."

They both sat in silence for awhile as Hermione regained her composure. Harry removed his arm from around her to scratch his head. They both looked around the pub to watch the hustle and bustle until Hermione asked, "So what brings you here, Harry?"

"Luna fire-called me from work. She wanted to tell me something important so she asked me to meet her here. She also told me that you were going to be here waiting for her. So I got dressed and headed this way."

"Well, you look…" Hermione was a little hesitant to finish her sentence.

But Harry seemed to know what she was going to say next when he finished her sentence by saying "like crap".

"Yeah, you look like you haven't slept in a week. What happened?" She looked at him with concerned eyes.

Harry looked at his hands for awhile. His eyes glistened as he let out a deep sigh.

"Ginny left me."

"I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you."

"Ginny left me."

"What? When did this happen?" She was surprised by the news.

"A week ago."

Now Hermione understood why he looked the way he did.

"Why did she leave? The both of you looked happy the last time Ron and I saw you. What could have possibly brought her to leave you?"

"Me."

Hermione looked at him with a confused yet concerned look on her face.

Harry let out another sigh before he said, "Ginny had been trying to get me to open myself up to her ever since we started living together. Though I never denied my feelings for her, she wanted to know everything that was bothering me or what was on my mind. I would listen to whatever she had to say so she wanted to be able to be there for me. But I just couldn't bring myself to talk about anything. At first, she was patient with me. She would give me my space and let me handle it on my own. Sometimes we would do something to get my mind off of thinking too much. But recently she grew tired of it. She started to push me harder to just say what was wrong. We would get into arguments over something small. She kept asking me to talk to her and I just couldn't. So a week ago, I guess she had had enough because when I got home from work, she was gone. I found a note from her on the kitchen table. It said that she hoped that I would find someone I can open myself up to. It also said that she needed to be with someone who wasn't afraid to talk to her about what was on their mind."

"So you've been hibernating in your house ever since?" She already knew the answer.

"Yep, after I read the note, I spent most of my time releasing my pain and anger. About three days after Ginny left, Luna came to visit after finding out what happened. At first, I didn't let her in despite her warning me that she would Apparate in. But after awhile, I let her in and she was amazed I could live in my house with it being such a mess. She even said it looked like the Nargles attacked while I was asleep."

Hermione tried not to laugh. That's Luna for you, she thought before continuing to listen to Harry.

"She sat and talked with me about what was going on in the outside world. She wanted me to try to be normal again. She hated the fact that I was hurting. So I told her that I would try to. To make sure I would try, she would come over after work and have me go out for a walk with her. She even gave me some books to read since I wasn't getting much sleep." After he said that, Hermione gave him a weird look.

"What?"

"You actually read a book?"

"Yes, why is that so hard to believe?"

"Well, think about it, Harry. Ron and you had me always help you on your homework. It would sometimes take everything in me to get you to read. The only book I've seen you read because you wanted to was our 6th year Potions book."

"Hey, it was a good book. I learned a lot from it."

"That's because it gave you the answers." She tried keeping a straight face.

"That's why I learned a lot from it."

Hermione looked at him before they both burst into laughter. Her friendship with Harry has always been different than her another friendships with boys. Everyone thought that they would end up together. But their relationship was completely platonic. She loved Harry like an older brother. She enjoyed talking to him about anything. But it worried her about how things had ended with him and Ginny. She hoped that he could eventually find someone he could share his secrets with. But one thing did bother her.

After they settled down from laughing, Hermione asked, "Harry, why didn't call me when this happened?"

"I thought you knew."

"This is the first time I heard about this."

"I thought Ron told you because he knew. He found out the day it happened. He was visiting Mrs. Weasley when Ginny came home, crying. He sent me a letter telling me I was an idiot for not being more open with her and that I didn't deserve her. I figured he must have told you about it."

"No, he didn't tell me a thing. Maybe he was too busy sleeping with that slut of his to even bother telling me about OUR best friend. Even if I was busy at my job, I'm not too busy to be there for a friend. Wait until I see him again. I'll give that good for nothing, lying, cheating, asshole of an ex-boyfriend A PIECE OF MY MIND." Everyone in the pub looked at Hermione and Harry. Harry nudged Hermione's side, which caused her to look around the room. She blushed seeing all the faces stare at her.

"Sorry." She said, giving them a small smile.

Everyone went back to what they were doing while Harry laughed at Hermione for her outburst. In the midst of his laughter, they heard someone asked, "Why are you going to give Ron a piece of your mind, Hermione?"

They both turned around and saw Luna standing next to their table. She was dressed in a black sweater with a blue button up shirt underneath. She wore a pair of blue jeans and her favorite Converse shoes. She looked at them both with curiosity in her silvery grey eyes.

"He didn't tell me about Harry and Ginny breaking up. He was too busy sleeping with Lavender Brown to care." Hermione replied, with anger in her voice.

"Ron cheated on you?" Luna asked, surprised.

Hermione nodded as she began to tell Luna what happened the night before. As she listened, Luna's face quickly began to change to being surprised to being somewhat angry. But as quickly as the anger showed, it began to fade into concern. When Hermione finished telling her what happened, Luna reached her hand across the table to give Hermione's hand a comforting squeeze.

"He didn't deserve you, Hermione. You'll find someone better than him. Someone who will love you for you and would treasure the time you do spend together." Luna said, giving her a smile.

"Thank you for your words, Luna. But like I told Harry I don't see the positive in being in love anymore. I mean, come on, I'm not that pretty and people find my intelligence somewhat annoying. So who is going to be interested in someone like me?" Hermione argued, not seeing what they saw in her.

"How do you think I feel, Hermione? Even with girls falling for me because I was the Chosen One, no one girl has ever loved me like Ginny did. I honestly don't know if I would find someone who would be willing to put up with the fact that I can't seem to open up." Harry argued back, joining in the conversation.

"Well, you have a better chance than I do." Hermione said, still a little gloom.

Hermione couldn't see what Luna and Harry saw in her. She wanted to be able to say that they were right and that there is someone out there who would love her for her. But she believed she had that with Ron and he quickly betrayed her over the simple fact that she was working too much. Maybe with time I can see what they see. But right now I think I'll just try to mend my heart before I can give it to anyone else., Hermione thought, trying to think positive.

Hermione was jerked away from her thoughts when she heard Luna say, "I know thinking positive is hard right now, Hermione since things ended with Ron just yesterday. But I do believe you will find someone. I always try to think positive about things otherwise I think I would go mad if I thought anything negative. I felt the same way as you do about how someone can love me. I'm weirder than most girls but I figure if someone can't accept me for me, then there's no point in being with them. Harry and you will find someone and be happy again."

"Even if I don't see it right now, I hope I can see what you two see someday." Hermione replied with a small smile.

"You will and maybe I will too. I just need to get over my fear of being close to someone." Harry said, smiling back at her.

"Why are you afraid of doing that?"

"Because I'm afraid that someone will try to kill me again. They haven't found all of Voldermort's followers and I don't want to put the people I love in danger again. Too many lives were lost from the last battle. Shoot, to be honest, I'm also afraid that Bellatrix Lestrange will find a way out of Azkaban."

"I highly doubt that she would be able to at least not without help from Voldermort, which makes it even more impossible since he's dead."

The mention of Bellatrix Lestrange reminded Luna about something.

"I forgot to tell you the news I had, Harry." Luna said, after Hermione's comment about Bellatrix.

"Is it good news?" Harry asked, hopeful.

"No, I'm afraid it's bad news." Luna answered, in a calm voice.

"What's the news then?" Harry asked hoping the news wasn't too bad.

"Bellatrix Lestrange has escaped from Azkaban."
