Hey peoples who are nice enough to read my stories! Anyway, I'm in a bout of writers block, and I was inspired to write snapshots from Hermione's life. I know, its kinda random.

Learning I was a witch

The letter came

and it was like

a train

going to the Promised Land

and I screamed

a scream

of joy.

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just screamed.

Meeting Harry and Ron

I got on the train

and everyone

was staring

I was the

odd one out.

And I had

something to prove

but they accepted me

and didn't care.

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just smiled.

Being Sorted

The hat

knew everything

about me

my hopes

and dreams

and fears

but it told me

I was brave

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just laughed.

Meeting Draco

He was evil

he hated me

his parents

supported pureblood

supremacy

and he hated me

but I felt something

that I didn't understand

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just froze.

The Quidditch World Cup

I didn't care about

the match

or the adrenaline

that everyone else

seemed to feel.

he was there.

and that made all

the difference.

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just lived.

Kissing Draco

I was so sure

he hated me

so sure.

but then

in a single moment

that changed.

he kissed me.

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just kissed.

Draco leaving

I was so sure

that he loved me now

but he told me

we couldn't be

together

and he left.

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just cried.

Finding love in Ron

I thought

he was

just my friend

but it turned out

he was so

much more

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just loved.

Ron dating Lavender

I was sure he

loved me

I was sure

he cared.

but I guess

I was wrong

because there

he was

with her.

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just sobbed.

Dumbledore dying

It was strange

there was no

way he

could ever

come back

my headmaster

was dead

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just hurt.

Kissing Ron

It was like a dream

there was war

in my school

and my friends

were dying

but he still

loved me

I didn't have to

be who people

thought I was

I just knew that

These are the

best moments of my life

because

the walls

came

down.

The walls

that say

who I am

and who I have to be

what's expected of me

and what I shouldn't see.

And in these moments

there was a spark

like nothing was suddenly

everything.

and these moments

were when

I lived.

so...what did you think? please review and tell me!
