CHAPTER 1: DAY BY DAY

"Look at them, who know Ron Weasley and Lavender Brown together, if only I had been brave enough to tell him what I felt, but no, and now look at them, he looks so happy with her, maybe she isn't so bad after all" thought Hermione.

At the time Ron was with lavender on the couch in front of the fireplace in Gryffindor comon room when Lavender realizes that Hermione was watching, so she decided to torment her a little.

"Ron oh, kiss me like you do when we are alone" Lavender said, not so high but enough to for Hermione to hear, at this Ron blushed, at that moment he realized that Hermione was sitting right in front of them, reading a book like always, looking so beautiful, with the fire of the fireplace glowing in her eyes creating the most beautiful brown color he has ever seen

"For Christ sake Lavender, not in here and much less in front of my friends"

"What friends, Harry and Ginny are not even here, there at the Quidditch Peach, snogging just like we should be" said Lavender in a high peach tone that so many times annoyed Ron

"Yeah, Hermione is right in front of us," said looking at Hermione, who was looking very still, trying to concrete in the book she had in front of here and not in the fact that Ron was speaking, which was the most beautiful voice she's ever heard.

"Oh come on, Won Won, it's not like we haven't kiss before in front of people and I assure you that Hermione does not care, right Hermione?" When Hermione heard her name, she look up and was received with a smirking look in Lavender's face, something that made her believe that she knew she liked Ron and wanted to make her see that she had won, she had conquered Hogwarts nerd for first time and the Ron Weasley, the love of her life was with her and not Miss Know it All.

At that moment, Hermione also notice Ron looking at her, with a expectation face, like waiting for her to confess her feelings to him.

"Of course not, in fact I'm going to study at the library to give you guys more privacy," said Hermione, so he saw her pick up her books and bag, walking to the door, while lavender already kissing his neck, his eyes were still glued to Hermione, just when she was about to step outside se look back, and saw Ron looking at here, he gave her a sad smile, but she didn't return it and just walk out, the fact that she didn't return his smile just broke his heart and start wondering if could ever be with her like he was with Lavender right now.

Just outside the room, Hermione could not hold back her tears and ran to the prefect's bathroom where she knew she was going to be alone at this hour, as she ran, she didn't bother looking up when she crash into Draco Malfoy, who was walking down the hall at that time.
"Bloody hell Mud blood, look where your going" Malfoy yelled at Hermione.

"Sorry Malfoy, I didn't see you" said Hermione as she tried to pick up your backpack as soon as possible, before Malfoy realized she was crying and started teasing her like always.

"Never mind, what can you expect from somebody like you" said Malfoy trying to get up and pick up his books before Hermione realized what typo of books where and the fact that they were from the Restricted Section of the Library, when he realized that Hermione was crying.

"Hey, are you crying"

"That's not of your business Malfoy, so please leave me alone," said Hermione.

Malfoy was surprised by the aggressiveness of Hermione and the fact that she was crying. "Don't tell me that someone got more grade than you on a test", Said Draco.

When she finished collecting her things, Hermione stood up and stared right into his eyes and said "Why don't you end up making fun of me so I can be on my way"

"Ahh, come on Mud blood, at least somebody cares about you, even if its as just as little as a rat or a house elves, which by the way, how is defending your one kind going" said Malfoy looking at her, knowing it would hurt her more than anything, he knew that Hermione always liked Ron Weasley, an always thought they end up together, so much was his surprised to see Ron Weasley and Lavender Brown together.

"Personally, I would have chosen you Mud Blood, although Lavender has one of the most gifted body in our year, but still there is something about you that more appealing" thought Draco, looking Hermione up and down like she was an object.

On hearing his words, which broke her heart, because deep down she thought where true, Hermione decided to say nothing an just walk past him without looking back, as tears streamed down her face up to the prefects bathroom, where she knew she would be alone and could drown her frustration and sorrow.

When she got to the bathroom, she locked the door and put several spells to close it and make sure no one would hear her. When she check that she was alone, she leaned against the wall and dropped slowly, hating the world.

"Why her and not me" thought hermione "Obviously she is prettier than me and more fun, has a better body and is more open, however I am always alone, or studying and I never do anything fun, I'm just the friend an that's all I ever going to be " at that time she felt the world came crashing down. Hermione stay up and cry like so many other nights, for her lost love and the fact that maybe there were going to dye and she would never tell him how she felt.

Slowly she calmed her crying, to complete silence, Hermione stared at the ceiling trying to think of nothing and keep her mind blank, turning her eyes, she saw the sun was rising and to her surprise she realized that she had spent all night on the cold floor of the prefect's bathroom crying.

After several more minutes she decided to get up and go to her room to change and start another horrible day in which Ron and Lavender would be the entire time together and Harry and Ginny, happy and content, as far as it goes, without worrying about the problems that were out there and the war with Voldermort eminent to come.
