Pairing: Moody/Hermione.

Written for Non-traditional relationships Bootcamp.

Prompt: Thunderstorm.

Her eyes sought him out like a child searching for a parent during a violent thunderstorm. At that moment in time she did resemble the sixteen year old much more mature than her age but someone who was going to fall apart any second.

He wants to reach out and tell her everything will be okay, but he can't their are too many judgmental eyes in the room. Too many people who wouldn't stop badgering them until eventually either he or she spilled every secret they had.

The only choice he had was to ignore the urge to comfort her and hope that she waited to fall apart when they were alone.
