A/N – Welcome to my new short reunion story. It is 5 chapters long and updates will be daily. Harry and Ron are main characters in this story along with Draco and Hermione, but the paring is 100 percent Dramione. This is set in a universe where the war never happened. They attended all seven years of school and everyone is still alive. The second half of this chapter is a flashback to the falling out between Ron and his friends, and there'll be another flashback in chapter two to tell the story from Hermione's point of view.

Ron Weasley had been enjoying a peaceful Saturday afternoon, until his sister, Ginny, entered his house unexpectedly. Ron had no problems with his family visiting him, but he often wished they would call first before they showed up. Ginny especially tended to just turn up whenever she felt like it.

"Hey Ron," Ginny greeted as she collapsed in an armchair. "What are you up to?"

"Just checking a few articles for next week's magazine," Ron replied.

Ron owned and published the wizarding world's newest quidditch magazine. Directly after leaving school five years ago, Ron had signed for a professional quidditch team as a keeper. He'd spent almost two years playing for the second team before getting his chance to play for the first time in the British and Irish quidditch league. Ron's first match had been a roaring success, but unfortunately for Ron at practice a few days later he came off his broom following a mid-air collision with a team mate and was badly injured. The injury brought a premature end to his career, and after a few months of moping he'd used the money he'd earned while playing to set up the magazine. The magazine had now been going just over a year, and it was really becoming a big success.

"Where's Jenny?" Ginny asked.

Jenny was Ron's fiancée, an American witch who Ron had met while his old quidditch club had been playing a few pre-season matches in the states. The pair had hit it off immediately and even when Ron returned home, they'd kept in touch. By the time Ron had his accident, he and Jenny were pretty serious and she'd been a major supporter of his idea of starting his own magazine. In fact, all the family thought that if it hadn't been for Jenny that Ron wouldn't have done anything productive with his time after the blow of losing his quidditch career just as it was getting started.

"Shopping," Ron told his sister. "She's heading back home next week, and she needs a few bits and pieces."

"Why's she going home?" Ginny asked.

"Her father's having a procedure on his heart," Ron replied. "He's only going to be in hospital for a few days, but she wants to be there for him."

"Are you going with her?"

"No," Ron answered with a shake of his head. "I'll go over if things go wrong, but she's okay going on her own. Her parents tried to convince her she didn't need to go over, but she was insistent."

"I don't blame her," Ginny said. "If Dad was going into hospital, I'd want to be there."

"That's what I said," Ron replied. "I completely understand her need to be there for her father. But since it's only for a few days, we decided I should just stay at home."

"And what are you planning on doing while your fiancée is away?" Ginny questioned with a mischievous smile.

Ron rolled his eyes at his sister, suspecting she was going to try and convince him to hold a wild party while Jenny was away. While her brothers had all settled down, apart from Charlie who loved the single life too much to give it up, Ginny was young, free and single. More often than not Ginny had a new hot wizard on her arm, and as a professional quidditch player whose star was rapidly on the rise, she was considered to be a catch. However, Ginny had no intention of settling down anytime soon, she was enjoying her wild lifestyle far too much to calm down and have a serious relationship.

"I'm just going to have a quiet weekend," Ron said. "Jenny leaves on the Thursday, and barring anything going wrong, she'll be back late on Tuesday evening."

"That's still plenty of time to have some fun," Ginny said. "I'm bound to have some party invites for next weekend. You could join me and we could have some fun together."

"Thanks, but no thanks," Ron said, shaking his head.

"You might get some juicy gossip for your magazine," Ginny teased.

"That's why I employ reporters," Ron retorted. "Come on Gin, you know I'd rather not hang out with a bunch of quidditch players. I started the magazine so I was still involved with the sport I love, but I don't need to be reminded of the life I was denied. I'm happy to leave you to your parties, and to pass the gossip along."

"I can't say there's much gossip at the moment," Ginny said with a sigh. Getting her eye on the latest copy of Witch Weekly sitting on the table beside the chair, she pulled it out from under a pile of post and sent the letters scattering to the floor. "Sorry," She apologised as she began to pick the letters up.

"Honestly Gin," Ron muttered as observed the mess his sister had made. Ginny seemed to have a knack at creating mess, and now it appeared that she couldn't even grab a magazine without creating havoc.

"Sorry," Ginny repeated. "Hey, what's this?" She asked, frowning at what looked to be an invitation of some sort.

"Nothing," Ron answered, plucking the invitation from his sister's hand.

"It doesn't look like nothing." Reaching over, Ginny took the invitation back off her brother and looked it over. "This is a class reunion, and it's being held next weekend."

"I know what it is," Ron muttered darkly. "But I'm not going."

"Why not?"

"Jenny's away," Ron answered with a shrug. "I'd have to go alone."

Ginny looked at her brother in a calculating way as she slipped the invitation back into the envelope. "That's not why you're reluctant to go."

"Of course it is," Ron replied. "Who wants to go to a reunion by yourself?"

"If that's what worrying you, I could go as your plus one," Ginny offered.

"I think that could be sadder," Ron grumbled. "The only thing worse than going alone, is going with your little sister."

"Don't worry, we can make sure people know all about Jenny," Ginny replied. "These reunions are a chance to show just how great your life is. And let's face it Ron, you have a pretty good life. You run a successful magazine and have a beautiful fiancée."

"I know my life is great, but I don't need to show it off," Ron argued.

"Are you sure?" Ginny questioned. "Don't you want to show Harry and Hermione how you're better off without them? This is your chance to show them what you've achieved. Or do you want them to think they've won, and you're too embarrassed to show up to the reunion."

"I have nothing to be embarrassed about," Ron argued. "I never did anything wrong. It was Harry and Hermione who betrayed us, not the other way round."

"I know, I was there," Ginny snarled. "And I think we should attend this reunion to show them we don't need them. We don't need backstabbers like them in our lives."

Ron nodded in agreement, but he didn't think he needed to prove anything to Harry and Hermione. Truth be told, he would give anything for them to be friends again, but too much had happened. Harry and Hermione had once been his best friends, but they'd betrayed him and he would never forgive them for breaking his heart.

"Come on Ron, you know you want to," Ginny cajoled. "Let's go to this reunion next week, and we'll knock Harry and Hermione dead."

"I'll think about it," Ron said quietly. Now Harry and Hermione had been mentioned, his mind was full of his former friends, and more specifically the falling out that had led to the breakdown of their friendship.

Ron pushed through the crowds in the Great Hall, looking for Harry and Hermione. Since it was the seventh years last night at Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore had agreed to let the students hold a small party. He'd had the elves provide food and drinks in the Great Hall, and a small committee of students had arranged for the rest of the evening's entertainment. There was music blaring in the Great Hall, and the party had also spread out of the front door and over the front lawn and down towards the Black Lake.

"Have you seen Harry or Hermione?" Ron asked Neville as he came across his dorm-mate chatting to Luna. While the party was for seventh years, the younger students had been allowed to stay for food and drink, and several of them had stayed on if they had friends amongst the seventh years.

"I saw Harry talking to Ginny earlier," Luna supplied. "But I haven't seen Hermione for a while."

Thanking his friends, Ron continued his search for Harry and Hermione. It soon became clear that neither of his friends were in the Great Hall so he headed outside. No sooner had he exited the school than he found Ginny sitting on the wall beside the front doors.

"Hey Gin." Ron settled down next to his sister, surprised to find she looked so bored. "Are you not having fun?"

"I was," Ginny answered. "Until Harry did a disappearing act. I finally thought things were going to happen between us, but then he disappeared. I only popped off to the bathroom, and when I came back he was gone."

"I hate to say this Gin, but maybe it's time you accepted it's not meant to be," Ron said. His sister had fancied Harry for as long as he could remember, but apart from the odd occasion his best friend seemed oblivious to Ginny's charms.

"Like you with Hermione?" Ginny countered, raising an eyebrow at her brother.

"That's different," Ron argued.

"How?" Ginny demanded. "You'd fancied her for ages, and yet nothing's happened. You still have hope, so why should I give up on Harry?"

"I guess you're right," Ron conceded. "Unless Harry's said he's not interested, you should have hope. I know I have hope with Hermione, even though she never seems to notice me as more than a friend."

"That could be because she's seeing someone," Ginny pointed out.

Ron growled softly at his sister as he got to his feet. "Don't start this nonsense again, Gin."

All year, Ginny had been saying that Hermione was seeing someone, but Ron had yet to see what his sister had seen. From where he was standing, Hermione's year was no different to normal. With her duties as Head Girl she spent less time with them in Gryffindor Tower, but she was working, not running around with some boy. Ron still wasn't sure where Ginny had gotten her idea from, but it ridiculous.

"It's not nonsense," Ginny insisted as she also got to her feet. "Even you can't deny that Hermione has been happier than normal this year. She's practically glowing."

"She's just thrilled to be Head Girl," Ron argued. "You know as well as I do, how much having the position means to her. This is what she's wanted since starting school. She's just making the most of her final year and the opportunities she's had."

"Suit yourself," Ginny said with a sigh. "But don't blame me when you find out that I'm right and Hermione has been seeing someone."

"I'll prove you're wrong," Ron stated confidently. "Let's find Hermione, and I'll ask her outright. Then we'll see who's right."

"Fine by me."

More determined than ever to find his friends, Ron led Ginny down to the Black Lake. After scouting around for nearly ten minutes they got lucky when Dean Thomas said he'd seen Harry and Hermione less than half an hour ago heading off for a walk around the lake. Heading in the direction Dean sent them in, Ron and Ginny began hiking around the lake in search of their friends.

Ten minutes later they were stunned to stumble across Harry and Hermione in a compromising position. The pair were sitting on the grass beside the lake and sharing a lingering hug. As Ron and Ginny watched, Hermione gave Harry a peck on the cheek and told him she loved him. Harry replied with his own declaration of love and the pair smiled warmly at each other.

"Well this just explains everything," Ginny stormed as she stepped into view.

"Hey guys," Hermione greeted, her smile freezing when she spotted the anger flaring in the eyes of the two Weasley siblings.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

"What's wrong?" Ron repeated with a snort. "I would have thought that was obvious. How could you do this to me, Harry? You're supposed to be my best friend."

"I am your best friend," Harry replied. "But I'm not sure what I've supposed to have done."

"Hermione," Ron spat. "That's what you've done. You knew how much I loved her, and yet you still made a move on her."

"I bet the pair of you took us for such fools," Ginny snarled. "Sneaking around behind our backs. I bet you were laughing the entire time. Oh, let's lead Ron and Ginny on. We know they fancy us, but we just don't care."

"You've gotten this completely wrong," Hermione said as she got to her feet. "There's nothing going on between Harry and I. We're just friends."

"As if," Ron growled. "We're not blind. We saw you together."

"I don't know what you saw, but you've misunderstood," Harry said pleadingly. "Please Ron, just listen to us."

"I don't want to listen to either of you," Ron stormed. "I've heard enough of your lies. We know what we saw. The pair of you disgust me, and I never want to speak to either of you again. Our friendship is over."

"The same goes for me," Ginny added as Ron turned away. "We're done."

Without looking back, or giving their friends a chance to fully explain what was going on, Ron and Ginny stalked back to the school. They immediately left the party and headed back to Gryffindor Tower, ignoring everyone. The pair continued to ignore everyone the following day and they wouldn't listen to anything Harry or Hermione had to say. They knew what they'd seen, and nothing the pair could say would change that. They knew the truth, and they wanted nothing to do with the pair who had betrayed them.
