Chapter I: Broken vow

Twenty four year old Hermione Granger stood alone in the garden of her house, trying to erase the sight she had just witnessed. It was the middle of autumn… rain was pouring, for even the angels were crying her pain, the purity of their tears trying to drive away her solitude

Yet, her own tears mingled with the rain… anyone would have thought that she had the perfect life… part of the Golden Trio, partially responsible for the vanquish of Lord Voldemort, known and respected by everyone and above all that, the wife of Harry Potter. But no; her life was far from perfect… after four years of what she considered a happy marriage she caught him cheating on her… with his former love, Cho Chang.

Tell me her name
I want to know
The way she looks
And where you go
I need to see her face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end

Of course, he did not know she had found out. Harry told that he was going to the Ministry to discuss important matters about the giants…yeah, right! She had accidentally found him an hour later in a café snogging the Ravenclaw girl like there was no tomorrow.

Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own

Hermione turned around and entered the house…her long, wavy hair was soaked, her cheeks were red because of the wind that whipped her face and her crimson dress was dripping with water… the dress she had bought for their anniversary, where he failed to arrive, She rushed to her room, ignoring the cold that took over her and started packing… she wouldn't come back.

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Harry Potter returned late that night… he didn't notice the lipstick that was staining his shirt nor the cheap French perfume that surrounded him… he entered the dormitory waiting to be greeted by his wife, but instead of her, a piece of paper was lying on the bed.

Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time

" I know. I saw you in that café. Don't try to find me… It's too late for apologize, to late for sorrow. I will never forget you, not will I ever forgive you. My lawyer will send the divorce papers… it's over.

Hermione"

There were stains on the note where her tears had fallen. In that moment, guilt shot through his heart like a poisoned knife… there and then he knew that he had lost her forever, that he was never worthy of her. There he said goodbye to his past and looked grimly to the future.

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

The news had spread as fast as the wind blows and soon, all of the headlines spoke the same thing:

" War heroes' marriage fails. Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. More information on page 5."

In two different places of London this former couple held the Daily Prophet with trembling hands… it was truly over.

I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes
I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end

As soon as the divorce papers had been made official, Hermione bought one plane ticket to Paris… far from pain, far from tears, far from a hunting past…

She could have faced the whispers, the gazes, the mumbles every time she passed by, but she didn't want to… it would have been too hard for her broken heart.

I let you go
I let you fly
Now that I know I'm asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

After her departure many called her a coward; the papers were burning with this new information. Her family and friends were heartbroken… for her, everything would start from the beginning… no more lies… no regrets… no more…

The song is called Broken vow by Josh Groban. We modified the lyrics a little so they would fit, but in the rest it isn't ours.
