-1 Medicine For Love
"The sky looks grey today" an 18 year old Hermione said. 7th year has been going well so
far for her. She had made head girl, and Harry and Ron were still her best friends, yet
there were still problems. Problems that she knew would lead to even bigger problems.
Picking herself up from her seat at the window she decided to get some fresh air knowing
that she needed it. Grabbing her black wool jacket, and red scarlet Gryffindor scarf she
bounded towards the portrait, though the corridors, to the large doors that led to the
courtyard, and finally walking calmly towards the long bride. Snow was definitely soon to
come she thought. The air felt thinner, and the sky had a calm shade to it. Finally reaching
the bridges end she made her way towards the waters edge. Stopping at the edge of it's
sandy banks she stared into the distance not really looking at anything particular. The
water was placid this evening and the air was cool and serene. Sighing Hermione kept
thinking about everything that has been going on since 6th year. "It feels so peaceful when
you get away from your problems for awhile" she whispered. Slowly sitting upon a large
rock she thought about everything. Since the war against Voldermort had been taken into
full swing a year ago, Dumbledore had made sure all students knew of what this great war
may bring. Loss, pain, sadness, guilt, anger, hatred and many more things. But other
things were left unsaid. Though they were not fully spoken most students already knew
what they would soon have to face. All students and professors at Hogwarts spent the last
few weeks of 6th year learning, teaching, practicing, training, and planning for this war,
wanting so much to feel confident when the time came to face their fears. Soon summer
came and school let out but students knew there was still much work for them even over
the summer vacation. Hermione kept staring into the distance but this time towards the
evening sky. The sky was painted in pinks, glowing orange, marvelous yellows, and
smeared purples. The cedars casting shadows across the sand from the fading sunlight.
Smiling at the colors beauty she sighed again, the small smile fading into nothing.
"Where are you mom? Why did you leave me so soon? I' am afraid… so afraid and
worried for my friends and loved ones.. afraid that I won't know what to do. And I don't
know what to expect anymore" she said allowed. Hoping for the heavens to hear her.
Hoping for someone to find her. For someone to help her to rescue her. Little did she
know that "savior" was coming around the bend sooner than she thought.
