It's not true.
Her heart was pounding. She had seen him walking through the gate to the little winding path. She knew why he had come, what it was that she was about to be told. It was written across his face, it was a look she knew well, she had seen it too many times not to know what it meant. She didn't want to hear it though.
"Harry James Potter don't you dare come in this house and don't you dare utter a word."
If she didn't let him speak then she wouldn't have to hear what he was about to tell her and that meant it would not of happened, it wouldn't be true.
"Moine I'm sorry, I tried to stop it but..."
"NO. Don't Harry. I can't hear you Harry; I won't hear you and I won't believe you. What ever you say isn't true, it isn't true."
She had made her way down the path to face him. She had started to hit him with every plea against what he was telling her. He had never seen her like this before, not even when her parents had been killed.
"Moine I'm so sorry. I couldn't stop it, I wasn't quick enough."
He felt so helpless, all he could do was hold her and hope beyond hope that it took some pain away from the loss.
After a small time her sobs silenced. She looked up at Harry and could see the same loss in his eyes that she felt. Never again would the golden trio be together again in the living world. It hurt him to think it. He had failed his best friends, both of them.
"I tried Mione honest I did but it had already happened…am so sorry." He didn't know what else to say to her. He looked down at her, she looked so small. "Charlies at home. Said he would tell the rest, think we should go to the Burrow." Hermione didn't move, she knew Harry was talking and she knew what he was saying. All she felt was numbness. She didn't feel it when he steered her back into the house she didn't feel it either when he apparated her to the Burrow. She felt nothing anymore everything was a blur. She sat on the chair not speaking just staring out of the window. She was surrounded by her whole family. For the first time in her life though, she felt alone.
