A/N: I'm not good at summary and this is my first time to write here. I'll be giving precautions before you proceed, I am not a native English speaker, I just want to share to you guys this fanfiction I've made. There will be mature scene for the later chapter but I'm not good at writing such so if you consider yourself innocent, you can skip that part.

Her Chosen One

Chapter 1

"Ron, are you sure about this?" Hermione asked. They were in the burrow with Harry, Ginny and the rest of the Weasleys' family. They have decided to continue their 7th year in Hogwarts after the war where Harry Potter defeated the Dark Lord. At this point, Ron and Hermione were talking at the backyard of their house. "Yes Hermione, I think we should think about it. You know, maybe we're just carried away by the incident in Chamber of Secrets.. We're not really in love, are we?" Ron asked while watching the gnomes playing at the holes.

Hermione bit her lower lip, that's true, she's not in love with Ron but as time goes by she already developed a feelings for him. "Y-yeah.."

"I'm sorry Hermione." Ron turned to face her.

"I-it's fine Ron." She felt her eyes burning at its lids. "Just tell me the real reason... Nothing will change.. I promise." She smiled bitterly.

Ron sighed before slipping his hands to his pocket. "I'm in love with someone else Hermione.." He said.

At this point, a few drops of tears started to fall from Hermiones' eyes.. "Oh.. W-who is she?"

"Astoria Greengrass." Ron said still looking at her pinkish face.

"Astoria? The Slytherin girl? I thought she's Malfoys' girlfriend." Hermione wiped away her tears with her sleeve and their eyes meet once more.

"Yes she was, they've broke up a few weeks ago." Ron said.

"You fall for her in just a matter of weeks?" Hermione can't hide the pain in her voice.

"No.. It's been months, since the war ended. We're writing to each other secretly, and she said that she's willing to give up Malfoy for me." Ron said in his normal voice.

Hermiones' heart almost jump out of her chest.. She didn't expected that it will be painful as this. Her boyfriend was cheating with her for months, that's why there's always a strange owl flying around the burrow when she came. Her shoulder started to shook while the knot in her chest making her difficult to breathe.

"Look, I know I'm being a douchebag but I'm just being honest with you Hermione." Ron held her shoulder still and lifted her chin.

"I get it.. It's just that..." Her voice croaked as she gulped because her throat seem to burn in dryness. "I-it hurts Ron.. Really." her tears began to fall through her cheeks like a faucet.

Ron look at her with sympathy and pull her for a tight hug. "I'm so sorry Hermione, I've been planning to tell this much earlier but I can't find a good timing. We're still best friend, nothing will change I promise." He kissed the top of her head.

Hermione cried of Rons' insensitiveness, how could he just say nothing will change when everything have changed? They are supposed to attend Hogwarts as a couple, spending weekends at Hogsmeade while drinking butterbeers with Harry and Ginny. She's been dreaming to walk with him beside the black lake while their hands are interlaced together. But he just destroyed her dreams in a matter of minutes.

She pulled away and smile at him bitterly. "It's okay Ron, I-I'll just find Harry so we can go to station now." She turned away and forced her trembling knees to walk faster away from him.

"Harry?" Hermione knocked on Ginnys' room twice. The door swung open revealing Ginny and Harry who looked at her awkwardly. Their hair were both messy and Harrys' collar straighten up to his neck. "Hermione!" Ginny beamed at her.

"Sorry to disturb you." She faked a smile. "But your mother asked me to tell you that the car is already waiting us outside." Hermione glanced at Harry who's fixing his shirt.

"We will go down in a minute, thanks 'Mione." Ginny said and turned back to grab their things.

Hermione fetched her own things and jog down to the kitchen. "Ready dear?" Molly asked.

"Y-yes.." She said.

"Is this is your trunk Hermione?" Arthur asked and gave her a warm smile.

"Yes Mr. Weasley."

"Okay.. I'll get this." He exited through the kitchen door with Hermione's trunk.

"Ron told me about your break up.. I'm so sorry dear. You know how much I like you." Molly hugged her like a daughter, Hermione felt her heart clenched again.

"It's okay Mrs. Weasley, maybe we're really not for each other. " Hermione said.

"Yes, and I know you will find a better man.. Well Charlie is still single." Molly joked.

"Charlie is madly in love with the dragons mum! Come on now or else they will miss the train." George came holding a piece of sandwich.

"Okay come on! Ginny! Harry! Ron! Time to go!"

They traveled to King's Cross station in almost half an hour. They passed through the barrier and finally the four students settled in the train.

"Bye mum!" Ginny called as the train started blowing steam and finally set off.

"Okay we'll just need to find an empty compartment." Harry said while pulling his and Ginnys' trunk. Hermione wasn't speaking the whole trip.

"I'm just gonna meet Astoria, see you at the castle." Ron waved goodbye ignoring Harrys' questions behind.

"Astoria?! Why the hell he's going to meet Astoria?!"Harry exclaimed, looking at Hermione confusedly.

"Let's go inside." Ginny opened an empty compartment as the three settled in. "Now tell us why, Hermione."

"We broke up, just an hour ago." Hermione turned her eyes on the wide glass window.

"What the hell?!" Ginny grunted and began cursing that made Harry grimaced.

"Gin! Let her speak." He said, throwing Hermione a sympathetic stare.

"It's fine.. He told me he's in love with someone else.. Well that's Astoria Greengrass. We're still friends so you don't have to worry about it." Hermione faked a smile to them.

Harry gestured her something that she immediately understand. They need to talk about this, privately. Ginny continued comforting Hermione at the rest of their trip that made her sick and dizzy.

Hogwarts. Great Hall.

McGonagall, the new headmistress of Hogwarts was standing by the podium. She speak about the previous war and the fallen 50 who sacrificed their lives to achieve their victory against the dark force. Harry wasn't listening, his eyes were fixed on Hermione. He could see the pain written all over her beautiful face.

He clenched his fist as he gazed on Rons' direction, he was sitting in Slytherin table. Harry has a strong desire to pull his best friend by his ankle and throw him outside the large window behind the staffs' table. He turned to Draco Malfoy who's also looking at the couple with such hatred.

"As a privileged for all seventh year student who returned back to Hogwarts, I give them exclusion of the night curfew. But you know your limitations so I can't forbid the staff and head students to give you punishment if they caught you doing something else." McGonagall glanced at Slytherin table.

Dean and Seamus rose from their seat and start clapping their hands in happiness. "I decided that the head students will be from sixth years . The seventh years already done enough serving for the school. Now, let the feast begin." With the wave of her wand, the foods appeared on each long tables.

Hermione hardly touched her own food, she's just playing it with the fork. Harry was still looking at her. After everyone was full the headmistress commanded them to go back to their dormitories.

"Come on Harry!" Ginny said pulling his arm.

"I'll just talk to McGonagall.. Don't wait for me Gin. Goodnight." He pecked on her cheeks.

Ginny just nodded and joined the crowd. Harry spotted Hermione and immediately pulled her robe.

"We need to talk." He snapped, Hermione nodded and followed him.

At the bridge just above the black lake. Hermione stared at the glistening water as the moonlight penetrates at its surface.

"You can cry, I won't mind." Harry said.

There's a moment of silence before Harry could hear a soft sobs coming from her lips. His heart seem to broke in half at the sight of her best friend crying over their best friend.

"I don't know what's wrong with Rons' eye sight but I think he needs my glasses more than I do. You're pretty, intelligent, clever.. You're an amazing witch. Mens are dying just to be with the great Hermione Granger, the brightest witch of her generation.." Harry said.

"I'm a geek know-it-all boring girl. Who would like me?" She chuckled but Harry can feel the pain in her voice.

"Only stupid git won't like you. Cheer up 'Mione." Harry patted her back.

She lifted her head and looked straight at his emerald eyes. "Well I've been spending years with a stupid git best friends." She laughed bitterly.

"Oh come on! Stop pretending that you're okay." Harry put her arm around her shoulder for a warm hug.

"I'm fine Harry.. That truth was, I'm also in love with someone else." Her eyes grew wider thinking hard if those words really came out from her mouth.

"Really? Who is the lucky guy?" Harrys' lips curled up for his famous smirk.

"Ah.. I.. Who's who?" She tried to hide the tension on her voice.

"You said you're in love with someone else. Who is he? Come on, it's just between you and I." He winked at her, she gulped as her eyes roam around his handsome face.

"..Er... You know it's getting late I'm sure Ginny is already looking for you. Come on!" She's about to step away when Harry pulled her by wrist.

Their body collides momentarily as their eyes locked on each other. "Who is he Hermione." Harry asked in a cold husky voice.

Hermione suddenly felt the hotness rising through her cheeks. Her heart was banging on its cage that leaves her speechless.

"Come on.."Harry put some strands of her hair behind her ear as their eyes met once more.

Hermione was getting uncomfortable by this contact, she could feel the heat of his body temperature and his breath was hitting her face, she could smell his mint toothpaste.

"Malfoy.. I'm in love with Draco Malfoy." She finally said.

Harry loosened his grip on her waist as his eyes look in different direction. "Are you serious?" He asked.

"Y-yes.. Ron is in love with Astoria, then there's nothing wrong if I fall for Malfoy." Hermione was dumbfounded by the words that coming out from her own mouth.

"Yeah.. I just thought...Er.. Never mind come on let's get inside." Harry smiled bitterly and held her hand, he interlaced their fingers together and started walking back to Gryffindor tower.
