This oneshot is Hermione looking at her reflection, probably around 5th or 6th year.

For every girl who longs to find beauty in their reflection- always take a closer look.

I own nothing.

Enjoy!

She stares into glass

Dim eyes mock her, the fire quelled within dances

She wants to be beautiful

Was she ever beautiful?

Who would look upon her with lustful eyes?

Who would touch her and breathe a sigh?

She thinks of no one

She thinks of emptiness

She touches the glass

Praying the reflection would shatter into pointed shards

Then it would rebuild a new woman

One with skin of porcelain

One whose eyes are alit in flames

Who causes every man to moan her name

But she is not

She is fragile

She whispers to the glass

Asking only for it to allow her to see her desires

To see a figure seductive

To see hair effortlessly cascade to the floor

To see eyes, playful and alive once more

She releases a sigh

For she is not

And will never be

Shards of glass will not make her such
