The Breaking of the Triumverate
Main Article : Dead Grails


 * "We three had lived basically the entirety of our lives side by side. An entire life spent together, and in one instance the center of each of our worlds was gone. No words were said in that moment because I know we all knew what had happened. There's nothing like the loss of something to make you understand how much it meant to you. I wanted my world back, and the look in Ron's face told me that it was gone. It was lost to him now, the image of what we were. I have no doubt that me and Harry would be the same, but even though I didn't love him as he deserved my love for Ron was true, and without him it just didn't make sence in the same way that it had."


 * -Hermione Granger

Following the attack between Lavander, and Hermion Lavender would tell Ron about the events of the attack and the fact that she had een the two of them together. With the situation between the triumverate standing in very bad shape, the time came for the three of them to come together and decide what they were going to do about the actual situation in Hogwarts as opposed to the conflict between the three of them. Despite the love the three shared for eachother, the damage was quickly spreading into the core of the friendship and it was becoming a case that their was real hate breweing between Harry, and Ron. The Three plan to meet at their secret home in the fortress of Marni where noone can find them. Hermione goes to see Harry to tell him that she loves him, and whatever happens between the three of them she will always love him. When she arrives the two as they always do lose themselves into eachother, and make love. After they are done, she prepares to leave, but she sees Harry putting on a necklace and when she sees the necklace she recegnizes the necklase as one of the Dead Grails.


 * Albus_Dumbledore.jpg"In my persuit of knowledge I had come across a book called The Nefarion. In this book I learned what true evil was, but I also had read about a pendent with the symbol of Mordor on it. It was the image from the book that had shined in my mind when I saw the necklase that Harry had put on. Seeing it on his neck made my heart skip a beat. Made me nearly fall down, and only Harry steadying me kept me from falling over. He begged me to tell him what was wrong, but all I said was where did you get that pendent?"


 * -Hermione Granger

Hermione had read at the library a book called The Nefarion which has chronicled a terrible truth about three items. The Nefarion told a story about a book, a sword, a ring, and a pendent that were the complete construction of the Dark Lord Sauron. The book was the first of the three, and the book was so violent in their writings that anyone that read it became lost in its views. This book had passed down throughout the life of Europe, and had destroyed all that had read from it. The next was the sword which the book said had been taken in ancient times by a truly honorable Knight who recegnized its evil, and had sacrifised himself by killing himself on the sword, and then barrying it in the mountain he had wandered into. The final item was a pendent which held a very recegnizeable icon of Mordor on the front, and was the most nefarious of the three because it allowed any who had bound themselves to it, to be completely unable to die. Only through the destruction of the other two items could end the darkness of the pendant's power. Harry held her close, but she eventually pushed him back and said she didn't want to upset Ron in case he came by. Harry could tell something was wrong, but he let her go, and when she walked out she immediatly made her way towards Albus Dumbledore of whom had given Harry the pendant. When she arrived in his office his doors, and elevator led her right to him, as he was expecting her, and when she saw him she didn't know what to say.

Confronting the Truth
Main Article : Conversations between Hermione Granger, and Albus Dumbledore


 * Hermione_Granger_Large8.png"Looking at the man that for so long had been the moral center of our lives and not seeing that same great man was a painful thing. I just stood there staring at him waiting for him to tell me why it happened. I thought he would have an explanation. I thought he would say he was sorry. I thought he would say a thousand things to make the situation seem real. But instead he stood up from the desk walked over to me and said to me that he was sorry Harry had to die."


 * -Hermione Granger

Albus Dumbledore knew that eventually he would have to deal with what he had planned, and he knew the moment she had discovered his plan that the moment was upon him. She stood in front of Dumbledore and they just waited for the other to talk before he finally stood up and walked towards her and placed his hand on her shoulder. He told her that he was sorry that Harry had to die, but it was neccessary. The two would argue and he would explain to her that the only way to kill Voldermorte was to destroy the Horcrux that binded him to this world. She begged to know why they couldn't destroy it some other way, and he said that the only thing that could destroy the horcrux was someone of the bloodline that bore its hatred into the world, and this particular time it had been the killing of the Potters meaning that the only one would be Harry Potter himself. Realizing that as long as he had the pendant he was in danger because Voldermorte would want the pendant back so she knew what she had to do. She went to the library and got Nefarion before heading to meet with the Triumverate.


 * Dumbledore_Gif1.gif"I just hoped that she would finally come to terms with the fact that I was the one she was meant to be with. He was nothing compared to what I could offer her, and she just had to see that."


 * -Ron Weezly

The three engage first in a constructive conversation but it soon becomes about what Hermione is doing with Harry, and Ron forces her hand when he gives her one minute to decide between the two of the. Hermione in her heart knows that things have changed and she now wants Harry with everything in her but she can't hurt Ron in that moment so she just walks out. As she walks out Ron bolts at Harry and begins to strangle him. Harry loves Ron and refused to hurt him, so he basically doesn't fight back and the situation gets out of hand before Hermione uses a spell to teleport Ron out of the room and into Hogwarts Castle. Realizing that she just chose Harry she emotionally walks out of the room but is closely followed by Harry who begs her not to leave.

Hermione leaves



 * "Watching her walk away was the most painful moment of my entire life. Without her I just didn't see how continueing to resist was worth it anymore. Life was just such a struggle to just stay alive, and the main reason for fighting had just walked out the door. Ron's insults to me as she rode away didn't mean a thing to me while my world fell apart."


 * -Harry Potter

Harry and Hermione get into a long and very emotionally fight which leads to them making love outside of the fortress. Harry following this attempts with everything in him to make them be together now because in his heart he knows that he needs her, but as she starts to give in to him and they begin to kiss they are interupted by Ron who steps from the shadows to reveal that he had clearly witnessed the entire thing. With the situation of the Triumverate now in shambles Hermione tells Harry that she's leaving for a time, and that when she returns they will be together one way or another. She said that she wanted his pendant so that she would have something of his, and without thinking about it Harry gave her the necklaseWith that she got on her horse and rode away from the fortress leaving Harry behind.
