Chapter 4
The next day, they made their way to the Weasley's. Ginny still hadn't come home yet and Harry and Teddy were starting to worry. When they arrived, they were hugged by all the Weasleys but Ginny wasn't there yet. Then Harry saw Hermione. She motioned for him to follow her.
"Stay here Teddy, I'll be back in a minute." Teddy nodded and Harry followed Hermione. She led him into the garden.
"She's not coming. Mrs. Weasley got a letter from her just before you got here." Hermione felt like she had betrayed Harry.
"What did the letter say?" Harry's heart sank.
"It said that she's staying with a friend for a while. She didn't say why or how long she'll be there but it doesn't sound like she's coming back soon." Harry looked away from her. "Harry, I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, Hermione."
"Look, I've already told Mrs. Weasley what's going on. She's given me the names of Ginny's friends. I'm going now to find her. I'll be back soon. Just save me some dinner and stay here until I come back." Hermione said with guilt.
Harry briefly smiled at her. "Thanks. See you later." Hermione disapparated. As Harry walked back inside, Ron could tell that something was wrong but he chose not to say anything just yet.
They all ate a delicious dinner and said their goodbyes. This left Ron, Harry, Teddy and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley alone, waiting for Hermione. Mrs. Weasley ordered her husband, Ron and Teddy to feed all the animal so that she was left alone with Harry.
"Harry. Hermione told me what's been going on." She walked over and hugged him. "I thought everything was going well between you and Ginny. What changed?"
"I don't know. She just started acting really strange." Harry stared crying. "I don't know what I've done." Mrs. Weasley hugged him again, but for longer this time.
"I'm not sure you've done anything wrong. When Hermione gets back, she'll tell me where I can find my daughter. I'm going to have a serious chat with her about this." She looked into Harry's eyes. "I hate seeing you like this. You're practically my son. If someone hurts you, it hurts me."
Harry smiled and wiped his reappearing tears. "Thanks, Mrs. Weasley." Just then, the boys returned wondering what was going on.
"What's up, mate?" Ron asked, patting Harry on the back.
"It's none of your business yet, Ron." Mrs. Weasley told her son. Just then, Hermione appeared.
"It will be very soon." She told them. "Harry, Mrs. Weasley, come with me." They both followed her an the boys were left wondering again."What's going on, Hermione?" Mrs. Weasley asked, as they found themselves in the garden again. Hermione didn't say anything until she knew that the boys were eavesdropping.
"Harry. Ginny says that she doesn't love you anymore." Hermione's voice was soft, but that didn't help anything. Harry broke down in tears, and fell to the ground. Harry was unaware of everything happening around him. Teddy had sprinted out to comfort his godfather. Ron had burst out the door shouting about his sister. Mr. Weasley walked over to his wife, looking disappointed at their daughter.
Later that night, after the shouting, swearing and crying had died down, Harry questioned Hermione for more answers.
"Why? What made her stop loving me?"
Teddy knew that this was a bad idea. "Harry, don't. It'll make you feel worse than you already do."
Harry knew that his godson wanted to take care of him but he needed to know. "Tell me, Hermione." Harry said, sternly.
"She didn't say much. All she said was that she felt that something was coming between you." Hermione couldn't bare to look at Harry.
"Did she say what?" Harry wanted, more than anything, to know. "No, she didn't." Hermione looked to Mrs. Weasley.
Mrs. Weasley walked over to Harry and hugged him quickly. "I'll go talk to her now. You and Teddy can stay here tonight. Get some sleep. I'll tell you in the morning what I find out." She smiled and disapparated.
