1. If I'm Just Bad News...

Hermione made her way up to the Gryffindor Tower. It was dinner time but she didn't feel like eating or seeing his face. She didn't feel like talking to anybody or being in any body's presence at the moment.

She told the Fat Lady the password and went up to the girls dormitories and slumped down on her bed as the setting sun made the room look a shade of orange. She fought off the hot tears that made their way up to her eyes.

You see... Hermione Granger was broken hearted. That's right, the man that she had loved had broken her heart and stomped on it!

She grabbed her pillow and lay on her bed holding the pillow close to her as she watched the sun outside her window. It was peaceful and very relaxing, just what she needed.

She said
"don't, don't let it go to your head
Boys like you are dime a dozen,
Boys like you are dime a dozen"
She said
"you're a touch overrated,
you're a lush and I hate it,
but these grass stains on my knees
they won't mean a thing"

She had thought something was wrong with him as she had followed him outside. He had pushed her away and then broke it to her...

He dumped her.

Worst part was that she didn't even know why?

Had he had a relapse and thought of her as no more than a worthless pathetic mudblood again? Had he regretted everything? Was he un-happy? Had she said or done something wrong? What?


And all I (all I)
Need to know (need to know)
Is that I'm something you'll be missing
(is that I'm something that you're missing)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that...

Luckily she had good friends that were at her side at any time. They were very supportive and tried hard to cheer her up when she told them the news.

"Hermione?" Ginny asked from the door as she popped her head into the room.

"Yeah" she said softly.

"How've you been?" she asked sitting down by the edge of the bed.

"Okay" Hermione shrugged.

They stayed there in silence before Ginny spoke again "You should of seen Ron and Harry during dinner they were furious. They kept shooting death glares at Malfoy and stabbing their food pretending it was his head and not to mention I had to hold them back several times to refrain them from attaching him"

Hermione gave a small sad smile "How..." Hermione hesitated to ask "How was he?"

"Stupid jerk acted as if nothing had happed" Hermione gave one loud sob and quickly tried to cover it up.

"Oh Hermione" Ginny said laying down next to her best friend "Kills me to see you like this, kills all of us" she said hugging her friend who was trying hard not to cry.


I'd never lie to you
Unless I had to I'll do what I got to
Unless I had to I'll do what I got to, the truth
Is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt

"Hermione just remember" Ginny said "He's arrogant, a git, a ferret, a dumb arse who deserves to rot in hell and not to mention you deserve better, so much better"

"I know" Hermione nodded "But it still hurts"

"I know I thought you both were so happy what happened?"

"I don't know! I thought so too but then this!"

"I wish I had all the answers but unfortunately I don't"

And all I (all I)
Need to know (need to know)
Is that I'm something you'll be missing
(is that I'm something that you're missing)
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that...

"Ginny"

"Uh-huh"

"What if... what if it this was some type of a game or a joke?" Hermione asked gently afraid of the answer.

"Then that bastard's gonna pay that's what"

"But what if it was? What if this was a bet or a game or something that he had with his friends to try and make me fall in love with him and then have him dump me. You know how those Slytherin's are"

"Hermione you know that we Ron, Harry including myself would never let anyone harm you or hurt your feelings or else they'd have hell to pay"


Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This'll be the last chance you get to drop my name
Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This'll be the last chance you get to drop my name

"He just has to ruin everything!" Hermione yelled hugging the pillow.

"How so?"

"Well you know how Ron and Harry were furious at me when we started dating and how I almost lost their friendship too and then I had to go through a lot of trouble for them to accept us and finally when they got use to the fact that we're together he calls it a quits!"

"Dumb arse jerk"

"And would he just bloody tell me why we're over! Do you think there's somebody else?"

"I don't know but if there is I bet she's ugly and dumb"


If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (Maybe I should...)
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (...hate you for this)

If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar (Maybe I should...)

"I know the world's not over I mean, he's just a guy and I'm not gonna kill myself because of this. I'll get over this in my own time and I do know I deserve better but we've been through so much and... and I just don't know why I'm still on this subject!" Hermione yelled in frustration as she put her head in her hands.

"Well you can't just turn feelings off. I mean..." Ginny searched for the right words "Having a boyfriend is like having a good friend, a best friend if you will that you just happen to really like and when you lose their friendship it's just... sad"

Hermione raised an eyebrow "I guess your right" Hermione said unsure.

"Tell you what" Ginny said getting up off the bed "I'll go into the kitchens and get us some ice-cream and spoons"

"Chocolate please"

"You got it!" Ginny said as she left the room.


Maybe I should hate you for this
(If only you knew half as much as you pretend to)

(If only you knew half as much as you pretend to)

Hermione lay back down on the bed. The sun was almost completely down and there was a light breeze coming in from the window. Hermione sighed.

"I hate you Draco Malfoy" she whispered.

A/N: Well there you have it. I know the song doesn't really match with the whole chapter but I was listening to the song and decided to make a story out of it.

I know it's probably not the best chapter ever and maybe a bit confusing I'm not sure but I've never written a story like this so I'm having a bit of trouble.

Let me know what you think, should I continue on with the story or not? Please review and NO FLAMES!
