Author's Notes: It may not make sense, and I am truly sorry, but just take it for what it is, a sad tale of love that was never returned and will never be returned. Will remain a one-shot forever and always. I'm sorry if it sucks. No HBP spoilers. Thanks for the possible read and review. Yes, it is a Draco narrative.

The Man With No One to Love
I will remain unloved.
Unwanted by everybody.
I shall put on a façade of not caring.
But if you look deep into my eyes, you can tell I do.
I did once love.
She didn't love me back.
It's a timeless cliché.
But it's a sad truth.
I thought we had connected.
I thought we were meant for each other.
Even through the years of me calling her a mudblood.
She was a beautiful angel.
I envied her.
She was everything I wanted to be.
Smart, kind, and happy.
I'm not saying I was an unhappy person, but I had my times when I hated the world.
But most of the time it looked like she would never be brought down.
Except when I called her a mudblood.
I guess, she expected more of me.
She wanted me to accept her.
She didn't want me to love her.
But that is what I began to do.
Once I got to know her I realized that she was as close to perfect as you could get.
I began to love her.
I pined for her.
I needed her.
I wanted her.
And I began to hope she felt the same way.
My envy for her disappeared completely, along with my hate.
I watched her whenever I had the chance.
I began to notice the little things she did.
I began to memorize every detail about her.
I was becoming slowly obsessed.
Then she began to date Ron.
She had even announced that she was in love.
With him, not me.
I didn't want to lose my hard earned friendship I had made with her.
So I kept quiet.
And even told her that I was proud of her when she said she was getting married.
To him, never me.
I didn't attend her wedding, although I was invited.
We kept in contact over the years.
She told me of her pregnancies, job woes, and martial issues through owls.
I would write back with the best advice I could offer.
We kept our friendship that way.
Even though Ron hated me, he sent me an owl telling me of her sudden death.
I didn't attend the funeral due to the fact about no one wanted me there.
But now I sit in front of her tombstone.
Tracing the letters of her name with my fingers.
Wishing I had told Hermione I loved her before it had been too late.
Before I had became the man with no one to love.
