The In-Between Part 2
---------------------------------------
Ron was instantly quieted and as he slowly came back to his senses, he reached for the doorknob and decidedly ran after Hermione.
"Hermione! Hermione, come back!" He yelled as he ran down the stairs. "Hermione! Please, just stop!".
With all of the noise, more of the Weasleys started to leave their respective bedrooms to check what was the cause of the ruckus. "What is going on in here?" Ginny asked as she entered the kitchen, closely followed for what seemd to be a very stressed Mrs. Weasley.
Hermione had just entered the room crying, followed by a very startled and upset Ron. Harry was sitting in across the table, apparently drinking a cup of tea.
"Hermione, I'm sorry, it's the stress of the wedding, it's starting to make me act terrible, I didn't know what I was saying. I'm sorry" Ron pleaded, Hermione was still giving him her back, and staring hard at her shoes, knowing that if she dared to look up, a pair of confused green eyes would meet hers.
"How could you, Ron? How dare you disrespect me like that? I have told you time and time again that I have chosen YOU" Hermione said coldly and quietly from where she was standing. "Though right now, I'm not sure why I have done so."
"Hermione, you don't mean that. I know that you don't mean that." Harry said from where he was sitted. His voice seemed strained, and when Hermione looked up, his eyes were weary and looked desperately at her, his words were lying, but his gaze was not.
Hermione turned around and spoke directly to Ron, her voice stilled with a wave of chillness, but she was determined nonetheless. "Time and time again the only thing we seem to do is fight, we don't argue, we simply bicker and end up insulting one another, I'm tired of it, Ron. Honestly, I'm not sure If I can even take it anymore. It's destroying me, us…"
Ron's face turned even paler. His mouth was dry, the love of his life was dumping him, on their wedding day… This had to be the most terrible experince he had gone through ever since the death of Fred.
"Hermione, dear; You must be under a lot of pressure right now… We all know you don't mean that. This is the way things are supposed to be." Molly Weasley's words cut through the trio's building tension like a knife. It seemed to pull them out of all of their reveries.
"Mum, please don't get involved, this is between Hermione and me, and just us." Ron replied; though his answer was easily discarded by Mrs. Weasley hasty huffs.
"Ron, this is a family celebration; it involves us all…" Mrs. Weasley's voice was as the one you'd use to speak to a small child. She approached the fighting couple and said "Now, Hermione dear, please apologize to Ron; and Ron you do the same. This way things will go back to normal and we will be able to have a wedding today and forget about this nonsense."
"Nonsense? Mrs. Weasley, I think this is everything but nonsense… I mean, it's really important to solve this problems now; before the guests start to arrive" Harry said, as he stood up to face Mrs. Weasley.
Hermione was extremely shocked, both from Harry´s words and Mrs. Weasley intrusion, "I think we can settle this by ourselves, with no one interfering…" she spoke, and with a sudden move she walked away from both Mrs. Weasley and Harry, and spoke directly at Ron.
"This isn't working anymore, Ron. Not for me and definetely not for you; we are just so hurtful towards each other… it's just not right. I love you, but I don't want to be in a marriage in which we disrespect each other so… I'm sorry…" Hermione spoke clearly and without stopping at any sort of distraction, then she turned around and started to make it to the door.
