Your True Colors
Hermione was sitting in a dark corner by herself in the felorose tavern in Paris, France and was already on her 8th bottle of butterbeer, and by now, she was feeling very dizzy from the sheer amount that she had consumed. But as she was sitting by herself, she kept playing over and over again what had happen at Hogwarts with her and her girlfriend, Cho Chang, who was her girlfriend for almost all of fifth term…….until now.
Flash BackHermione was sitting in the library studying for her next lesson, which was "History of Magic" with one of the school's ghosts, Professor Binns. As she was studying, a small brown owl landed next to her on the table. She looked at the little owl and saw a piece of parchment attached to its leg and read it:
Hermione
Meet me in the quidditch pitch after lunch
Cho
Even though Cho was blind from an accident while flying on her broomstick, she still had beautiful handwriting. Hermione quickly took out a roll of parchment, ink and a quill and replied:
Cho
I will meet you in the quidditch pitch after lunch
Love you
Hermione
Lunch time rolled around and Hermione had a meeting to keep with her girlfriend, so she went to Gryffindor tower to drop her book bag off. She decided to skip lunch because she wasn't hungry, and so she set out towards the pitch. When she got there, she didn't see Cho so she thought that maybe she was somewhere else. Hermione walked all around the castle looking for Cho, but when she walked pass the lake, she saw two people there and both of them had long black hair. Curiously, one of the girls resembled Cho, so Hermione snuck up and walked to the lake while staying in the shadows of the trees because she didn't want to be seen.
As she got closer she could hear them talking about something, but she only heard every other word until she got just close enough to listen in.
"Angelina?" the other girl said
"Hmm?" Angelina replied.
"What do you think of me?" the other girl asked.
"Well I think you're a very gorgeous girl but now it's your turn to answer something" Angelina said when she kissed the other girl.
"Okay" the other replied. Angelina said "If we're dating secretly behind our your girlfriend's back, how come you haven't broken up with … that girl… you know, the one that's always hanging around Harry and Ron. The one in my house…Hermione! That's her name."
Right then, Hermione's suspicions that the other girl with Angelina was Cho were confirmed, but that caused disturbing questions to manifest in her mind: Why would Cho be cheating on her? What had Hermione done to offend Cho that drove her to cheat? Hermione thought to herself silently. She came back to reality to hear the rest of the conversation between Cho and Angelina with tears trickling down her face. Cho had told Angelina that even though she was dating Hermione, she only did because when Cho was in the mood for sex Hermione fed her appetite to the last drop.
At the last word Hermione came out from behind the oak tree she was behind and said "Cho,...I loved you ever since first year and thank you ever so much for revealing your true colors." Hermione yearned to cast a hex on Cho and Angelina but instead said she spoke again, "I wanted to go to the yule ball with you, but Cedric got to you first before I could and then I had to go with that Bulgarian bon-bon Viktor Krum!"
"Hermione...how long have you been standing there?"Cho said"long enough, but what have I done to drive you to cheat on me Cho? tell me please" Hermione replied, "You know, I always liked you Hermione,but...but after Cedric diedIthought you could be the one to fixs this wholeI have in my soul, butI was wrong, we're not meant for each other, Hermione please forgive I was going to tell you about Angelina and I but..." with that Hermione put her hands on her face and said "your a terrible liar cho you know that? and you said that we were meant to be together, rmemeber when you came to my house for the summer? and remember whenI took youto that classical music concert?" Hermionestood there crying from what she and seen and what hadjust happend, Cho tried to giveHermione a hug to comfort her but it was no use when she tried Hermione only pushed heraway and said"get away from me!"she turned on her heel and ran for the Castle and criedherself to sleep
End flash back
When Hermione played this scenario over again in her mind for the last time she stood up, feeling a bit tipsy from all the butterbeer she had drank, put some money on the table to cover the bill, and then tipped the bartender as she walked out of the tavern. She walked the streets of France to find a spot to sleep, but it began to rain. She found an alley way down the street and decided to sit down and cry one last time from the painful memory of what had happened at school.
It was about an hour before she stopped when she heard a voice from the street call her name.
"'Ermione?" it called again " 'ermione is that you?" the person came closer, Hermione looked up and saw the platinum blond hair and thought it was Fleur but she had to look again and realized that it was Fleur's little sister, Gabrielle. Gabrielle helped Hermione off the wet cold ground and asked what she was doing in France so Hermione retold what had happened at school and that the pain from Cho cheating on her hurt so much that she ran away to the first place she thought of; France was it.
Gabrielle gave Hermione her coat to try and warm her up. They walked and talked until they came to a small blue brick house with the letter "D" on the front. Hermione walked in after Gabrielle and was in awe; the house looked small on the outside but on the inside, it was like a mansion with marble floors, glass chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and paintings on the walls from different artists. Gabrielle told Hermione to go warm herself by the fire while she looked for her sister, so Hermione walked to the grandiose fire place and sat down to get warm. Gabrielle went to find her sister and found her in a small work out room in the basement
"Sister?" Gabrielle called out….no response. She called again "Sister!" the second time she got a response when she heard her sister say "Garbrielle what it is?" Gabrielle walked into the work room and told Fleur that Hermione was in the living room by the fire place getting warm from being soaked in the rain. Fleur quickly hopped out of the work room, ran to the bathroom for a quick shower and then came to see Hermione who was, and to this day, the person Fleur had desired for a long time ever since she was at Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament.
"'Ermione!" Fleur called as she ran to give Hermione a hug, Fleur too asked Hermione why she was in France and she told the story once again and explained why she ran away for a few days. With that, Hermione laid her head on Fleur's shoulder and fell fast asleep on the couch by the fire.
Fleur wrapped Hermione in her arms, kissed her forehead and whispered in Hermione's ear, " I love you, I always have ever since I was at your school." Fleur kissed Hermione's forehead one last time. Then she waved her hand to Gabrielle to help her carry Hermione to Gabrielle's room to sleep off all the butterbeer she had consumed.
"Where will I sleep Fleur?" Gabrielle asked. Fleur replied, "You can sleep with me little sister, my bed is large enough" and with that, they walked out to let Hermione sleep in peace...To be Continued
