Hermione left to the Weasleys' once she had obliviated her parents. A few days late she had to go for Harry. The boys were ready to leave after Bill's wedding but they had to leave during due to an attack.

Once the golden trio got searching for a way to destroy horcruxes and looking for more, after getting their first horcrux. Hermione had put a silencing charm around her at night since she cried herself to sleep most nights.

One night, when Ron was keeping watch, Harry saw her writing on a parchment with tears rolling down her eyes. He walked over to her bed as she quickly put the parchment away after writing something down.

He comforted her not asking questions because he knew why she was crying. She missed her parents, she missed Draco, and ,wether she wanted to admit it or not, she was scared. Scared that someone would happen to her parents or them. "Everything is going to be fine Hermione, I promise."

Harry carefully took the locket off from Hermione's neck putting it on his own. He held her like a brother would to their baby sister until she fell asleep.

He noticed something white under her pillow so he pulled it out. He saw that in his hands there was a white stuffed ferret with a Slytherin tie. He sighed to himself as he placed the toy in his friend's hands. Hermione instantly put the ferret to her heart.

He knew how it felt to miss someone, after all he missed his parents, Sirius, everything in the Hogwarts he was raised in, and Ginny.

He closed her curtains with a charm that wouldn't allow Ron in. He went out the tent where Ron was almost asleep. "Mate go sleep I'll take it from here. Please don't bother Hermione, she was having nightmares but she needs to sleep."

Ron nodded and went in to sleep.

Harry took Hermione's watch time so she could sleep through the whole night. Even if he had the horcrux, he still cared about his friend.

The next morning, Hermione woke up with the toy in her arms. She quickly put it inside her bag along with the parchment. When she opened the curtains, she found Harry peacefully sleeping while Ron was wearing the locket.

"Good morning Ron." She went to sit down at the table with a book.

Ron walked up to her and took the book away, "Harry told me that you were having nightmares."

Hermione looks at the sleeping Harry and smiles. "Yes Ronald but it's none of your business." She grabbed an apple along with her book and walked outside.

She took out her parchment once she made sure that she was completely alone.

Hermione read the message from Draco:

I miss you

She sighed and wrote, 'I miss you too'.

By the afternoon, Harry had woken up and they went to another place trying to make plans about what to do.

As they took turns with the locket, they began setting the tent and going down to catch fish.

Hermione cooked the fish as best as she could to make it at least eatable.

They all are in silence and Hermione chose to have the first watch. Harry gave her a blanket to cover herself from the freezing breeze.

She sent a patronus to Draco who had asked to give him a sign that they were alright. What she didn't expect is for him to show up that night while she was doing her watch.

"Hermione. Psst." Hermione directed her attention at her blond boyfriend. She stood up and hugged him tightly. "I missed you too love." He chuckled as she hugged him.

She noticed his scar in the forehead and bruises, "Draco what happened?"

He shrugged, "I'm not good at what I do so they say that by doing this, I'll learn. Honestly, they don't punch as good as you do."

She giggled and got closer to him feeling his warmth that she missed so much.

Suddenly they heard something coming. A flash of light almost hit them, she saw a figure she recognized.

Draco grabbed her hand and began running. While running, Hermione casted spells to protect them from Ron. "You have to go." She painfully told Draco.

He cupped her cheek and kissed her and left.

Ron ran up to her, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! HE'S A DEATH EATER!"

Hermione ran back to the campsite finding Harry wide awake. "Oh thank Merlin you two are alright. What happened?"

Before Hermione could answer Ron cuffed her off. "She was seeing a death eater!"

Harry stayed quiet not knowing what to say.

"Harry did you know?!" Harry looked down trying to find something to say to Ron. "You know what fine! I'm through! A bloody traitor and a bloody bad friend!" He took off the horcrux from his neck and apparated before Harry or Hermione could stop him.

"He's not like the other death eaters. He's not." Hermione's voice was dangerously soft.

Instead of saying anything Harry hugged her.

Days passed since Ron had left. Hermione was listening to the radio hugging her knees.

Harry walked into the tent and saw that his friend was upset. He went to grab her hand as the music started playing. He carefully took of the locket off from her neck and guided her to a clear area. Harry started dancing with Hermione and it cause her to finally smile. She laughed as they danced together. Once the music died down, Harry was still holding her. "Everything will be fine Mione." He whispered letting her go.

She told him about a plan she had to go to Godric's hallow.

When they arrived, Hermione noticed it was Christmas Eve.

They visited Harry's parents' grave. Then they visited Bathilda Bagshot where they were attacked by Nagini.

Another day passed without Ron and without clue of what to do.

That night Harry had the first watch. That night Harry saw a patronus that he knew it was like his mother's. Knowing it'll give him a clue, he followed it.

He was guided to a frozen lake where he saw the sword of Godric Gryffindor. He almost drowned if it wasn't for Ron who had returned.

With the sword, Ron destroyed the horcrux.

Hermione was still mad at him but nonetheless she knew they needed him.
