Hermione's POV
Guilt seeps into my conscience. Could I ever fall for a guy like you? What is it about you that attracts me? Do I even deserve you...? After all those times that you spat such a dirty word at me... I feel like a low, poor and dirty creature. But I can't help but care for you eventhough it's all wrong. Wrong! We're not compatible by social status, nor looks, nor blood. Something like this should not have happened at all...
Blame it on your smile... The small crease between your brows when you frown. Those piercing, captivating grey eyes of yours that holds all the things I ever need in my life. Although they held neglected promises to change for the better, to fight beside me, at the same time, they were lies. I knew that it was your destiny, inevitable. It had been engraved in your mind, your heart and your soul that you were meant to leave. Leave me without reason nor promise of return.
And so you did... Left me like a whisper in the breeze, an uncomfortably penetrating coldness that I'm suffocating, gasping for air.
You pointedly ignored my pleas of you to stay... Though I was not aware of the thoughts that ran in your mind, your eyes, your clenched fists and the grit of your teeth, told me that it was not a choice. It was an obligation that had to be fulfilled.
The most difficult request you asked of me: To trust you. Which I so foolishly did. I trusted that you would come back. But how could you have left me? Left me holding on to only the things that belonged to you... Your clothes, photographs of us, your scent on the bed sheets... Mere earthly things that do not mean a thing to me now that you're gone. What hurt me is not that you left without a promise. What hurt me the most was when our eyes met and yet recognition failed to register.
