Love Should Always Be

The grassy fields' cool, clear stream sparkled in the pale moonlight. All was quite except for the sound of a young girls' heart breaking. So involved in her thoughts was she that she couldn't hear what he was saying.

How can this possibly be? First, he's saying 'I love you' and now he's telling me he NEVER loved me and it's over! OH THAT BASTARD! He thinks he can just play with my emotions?

She clenched her hands into fists, turning her knuckles white, and ground her teeth.

"I hate you Severus Snape." Her voice was deadly even. When they locked eyes he saw a burning anger so frightening, her honey eyes might as well have been on fire.

"Please don't do this Hermione." His voice was so sorrowful it was painful to hear him speak. She even almost regretted saying she hated him. Almost.

"Don't do what?! Get upset, angry because my heart has just been ripped into HUNDREDS OF PIECES! If it bothers you so much then leave!"

All of this was a mere jumble of words to him. Her voice cracked like fall leaves underfoot and a dam broke inside of her. Tears poured down Hermione Grangers face and she let loose a strangled cry. But this was no typical wail. It was one known only by those who had loved, just for it to be taken away. Never in her life had she been in so much pain. Never. This was it for her; she'd been through to much to handle this. Not without someone to help her get past her anguish, to help her forget the person standing in front of her. So, she simply collapsed into a heap on the soft grass at the feet of the only person she had ever loved.

"Why, why have you done this to me," she shouted, pounding her hands into the ground.

It broke Severus' heart to see such hurt foisted upon his lo--. No, he didn't love her. He couldn't, it would be much too dangerous for her. He just could not, and would not let himself get further into a relationship with this beauty. This gorgeous person, both inside and out, with tears of sadness plaguing her face.

He crouched beside her and tried to reach an arm around the tiny form next to him. She would have none of that though and pulled away.

"LEAVE ME BE! Haven't you done enough? Just leave Severus, please just leave." Hermione stood up and looked down at him, eyes pleading for him to go. Yes, it was too much for her and him being there did not help in the least.
