Classes were over for the day, and Hermione was trudging to the Great Hall for dinner. She was exhausted, and it was only Monday. She had started munching on a biscuit when Harry, Ginny, and Ron sat down with her. 

"Hey Hermione." Ginny greeted as she wrapped her in a hug. Hermione laid her head on Ginny's shoulder and sighed. "Hey Ginny." "I've missed you. Is everything okay?" Hermione shakes her head 'no'. "Can we go to my dorm and talk, Gin? Have some girl time?" "Yea. Lemme grab some food." "Don't worry about food. I'll have Fifi get us something." "Okay." The girls said bye to Ron and Harry and went to Hermione's dorm. Hermione called Fifi and asked her to bring some food for them and her supplements and potions.

"Gin, can I tell you something? Something I don't want Harry and Ron to know. Not yet, anyways." Hermione hesitantly asked. "Of course! What's up?"

"Well.. you know how we were held prisoner at Malfoy Manor?" Ginny quietly nodded her head. "Well.. what most don't know was.. I was raped.. by multiple Death Eaters and I-I.. I'm pregnant." She stammers as she removes her glamours. Se hides her face as the tears start falling. "Only your parents, Poppy, McGonagall, and Snape know. Snape.. h-he saved my life."

Hermione was now sobbing as Ginny wrapped her in a hug. "Oh, Hermione. It's gonna be okay. What can I do to help?"

"I don't know. I just needed a friend to talk to that isn't a parent or professor." Hermione replied, grateful to have Ginny as a friend. "I'll always be here for you." "Thanks, Ginny."

A short while later there was a knock on the door. Hermione replaced her glamours and opened the door. "Yes, Ronald?" She greeted her guest. "Hi Hermione. I was wondering if we could talk about earlier." Hermione sighed and opened the door to let Ron in. Ron sat in the chair across from the couch that Ginny and Hermione were occupying.

"Gin, can you give 'Mione and I some privacy?" Ginny looks over at Hermione, who nods. "Okay. Good night, Hermione. Let me know if I can do anything to help." "I will, Gin. See you at breakfast."

After Ginny leaves, Hermione settles back on the couch and looks at Ron. " 'Mione, I'm sorry about earlier. I was just worried. And when we weren't allowed to see you, I got mad. I-I love you, 'Mione. I wanted to be by your side and make sure you're okay. I want you to be my girlfriend"

Hermione was silent for a few seconds, as she processed what Ron said. "Ron, I-I can't.. I'm sorry. But please, hear me out, first." Ron shoulders drooped and hurt flashed across his face. "Okay.." He agrees.

"Ron, Friday night, I tried.. I tried to kill myself.. I keep having nightmares of the war. Seeing all those dead bodies. My dead parents. The night at Malfoy Manor. I couldn't take the guilt, the pain, the sadness, or the anger anymore. So, I tried.. around the same time, Professor Snape had sent a house elf to get me.. and she found me in my.. state. She immediately brought him here. He saved me, Ron. And he, McGonagall and Poppy are all getting work through my.. problems. And until then... I can't be in a relationship. I'm sorry.."
