I HOPE YOU DANCE

Chapter 2 – Exchange Program

Hermione awoke, dried tears stuck to her face. Slowly, very slowly, she got up and made her way to the loo. She took a long hot shower, rinsing herself clean. Brushed her teeth, and went back into her room to get changed. She choose to wear, a blue knee-length skirt, and a white blouse with her yellow and red Gryffindor tie.

Slowly she made her way down the girl's stairs and out the Gryffindor common room. She made her way to the Great Hall for breakfast, and seated herself far away from Ron. Harry, who was sitting by Ron at the time, looked like he didn't know if he should get up and sit by her, or stay sitting by Ron. Luckily for him, Ginny showed up and sat down beside her.

"How are you feeling, Hermione?" Ginny asked picking up a bagel and putting cream cheese on it.

"Like my heart was torn out and stomped on," Hermione replied truthfully.

"I'm really sorry for the way my brother acted-"

"It's not you fault, Ginny. Your brother does what he wants when he wants, and apparently I don't fall into those categories." Hermione replied.

"Hermione-"

"Its fine, all I have to do is get through this last year and then I'll never have to see him again. I'll just move on, maybe one day, I won't feel so depressed." Hermione said.

There was a clanking of glass, and Hermione and Ginny turned towards the head's table, where Professor McGonagall was tapping her glass with her spoon. "Everyone, I would like your attention. This year, we are lucky to be a part of an exchange program. One student from each house will go and live with muggles for three months. When they get back in February, you will continue classes with your class. On the final exam, you will be exempt from questions asked from the information learned when you weren't here. Now if any of you are interested, come and talk to me. You will be leaving in four days. That is all; carry on with your breakfast." She said and sat down.

"Hermione! That is the perfect thing to do!" Ginny cried.

"What?"

"Go and live with muggles. You'll be away from Ron, and everyone here, you'll have time to heal. By the time you get back, you'll be changed women." Ginny said.

"Well, that would be nice. But Ginny I can't go live all by myself. I'll get lonely." Hermione replied. "I wish you could come also."

"Well I'll just have to then." Ginny replied.

"But Ginny, you heard McGonagall-"

"Pff, really Hermione. Well just go ask her if two Gryffindor's could go. I'm sure she'll let us; I mean she heard about what Ron said. And she's sure to agree with us."

"She knows what Ron called me?" Hermione asked.

"Yes." Ginny replied. "Let's go ask her." Ginny said standing up.

"Ginny, maybe we shouldn't." Hermione said.

"Of course we should Hermione. And when we get back, you will have changed so much. Ron will be so incredibly jealous." Ginny said, walking towards McGonagall, Hermione fallowing.

A/N: Sorry it's short. The next chapters will be longer.
Here are my answers to your reviews:

Sarah: Thanks for the review. I appreciate it. I'll be updating soon (hopefully!)

THAT WAS SO GOOD! PLZ WRITE MORE!

TheDivaDivine: thanks for the review. I'll explain what happened to Ron to call Hermione a mudblood, in flashbacks in the next few chapters.

THE CHAPTER IS GOOD ENOUGH TO CAPTURE MY INTEREST. I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED IF ITWEREN'T FOR HARRY WOULD HERMOINE AND RON HAVE BECOME FRIENDS. BUT HOW YOU GOFROM THAT QUESTION TO RON ACTUALLY CALLING HER A MUDBLOOD? HOW COULD RON HAVEWISHED SHE WOULD HAVE DIED?  I AM INTERESTED ENOUGH IN THE STORY IF ONLY TO HAVETHOSE 2 QUESTIONS ANSWERED. SO YOU CAPTURED MY INTEREST WHICH IS GOOD.

Pinkpygmypuff: thanks for the review, I appreciate them.

Very sad. I can't believe Ron said that to her. Please continue soon.

bpotato23: thanks for the review, I'm glad you like it. After I read through it again, I also thought that Ron was a little girlie at the end also, but he's heartbroken, what can you do?
