Story (I copy and paste from internet) - Chapter 1 - 'HE KNEW EACH TEAR BEFORE IT CAME – HERMIONE AND GEORGE'
CHAPTER 1
Hermione appeared in the Weasley's kitchen with a sad expression on her face. Harry and Ron had just left to go fight off in the war against Voldemort and they were afraid that she would get too hurt so they wouldn't let her come along. She sat down at the kitchen table as everyone ran around not even noticing that she was there. Hogwarts had been closed for the next year so they didn't go to school at all but it was still crazy there. Hermione laid her head on the table and felt hot tears trickle down her cheeks. As her tears collected into a pool on the table, there were two loud CRACK! s signifying that two more people just apparaited into the kitchen.
"HERMIONE GRANGER!" one yelled as he walked over to her.
"Hello there," the other said.
"Hi Fred. Hi George," she replied with no emotion in her voice at all.
"Ronnie and Harry leave already?" Fred asked.
"About twenty minutes ago," she replied. "I've been sitting here since they left like your mum had asked me too." She sniffled and kept her head down so that they wouldn't realize that she had been crying. Fred looked over at George and shook his head. They both knew that she had been crying. The sniffle gave it away. "I've been sitting here for the past twenty minutes without anyone even realizing it."
"Are you OK?" George asked.
"Fine," Hermione said as she rubbed at her eyes, making it seem as if she was just itching them.
"I...Umm...I'm going to go and help mum out and tell her that we're here," Fred said as he got up and left Hermione and George together in the kitchen. George was always the more sensitive twin.
Hermione sat up and looked over at George. She just let out a sigh and felt more tears roll down her cheeks. "It's alright Herms," he said as he moved closer to her so that he was hugging her. "They'll be alright."
"Ron broke up with me too because he feared that if he didn't Voldemort would get me and use me against him like he would with Ginny against both of them," she added. "He just doesn't think that I'm still friends with them so Voldemort will probably try to get me anyway." She rubbed at her eyes. George had never seen her cry before unless he had seen her cry that one time in her first year. George held her closer as she cried. He didn't say a word because he knew that there was nothing he could say that would bring Ron and Harry back to the Weasley's house to talk to her and to bring her with them on their quest to take Voldemort down. Hermione sniffled and then pulled out of the hug. "Thanks."
"For what?" George asked.
"For listening to me and being there. I know that everyone's busy right now," she added. "The Order is still going crazy about what had happened. Snape had been on their side for a year and then..." She stopped and sighed.
George nodded and stood up and just looked at her. "Don't worry Herms. Things'll turn up. You'll see," he said as he helped her up and the two of them walked outside to go help the others out back.
