What If
What if everything you thought was right, happened to be wrong.
Those whom you thought were your friends really weren't?
What would you do?
...
Tears fell over freckled cheeks,
stinging the soft brown eyes from which they lingered from just
moments ago. Her hair a mess, matted and wiry.
Hermione had never
been in a state like such before, but then again, she had never been
betrayed before either.
Everything seemed so perfect. So orderly
and proper. But all of that was simply a mask to the havoc that was
waiting to be unleashed.
It started with Harry. He became
arrogant, violent even. His adolescent attitude taking a toll on what
was once a sweet and sensitive boy.
He lashed out at the most
simplistic things, pointing the finger at those whom didn't deserve
it.
Hermione had had enough, Ron had too.
But then the betrayal spread.
Only
days later Hermione found Ron, pushed up in the corner with none
other than Lavender... Again... Despite the fact it was easy to see
the feelings Hermione had for him and those he had in return. He
still let that minx wrap him round her little finger.
But it got
worse...
Soon Hermione found herself alone entirely. Spending
her lunches in the library more often than before. Her head
constantly down, hiding the tear stained cheeks that where once rosy
with joy.
But gone were the days of joy. Gone were the moments she
had gone to love. And gone were those she had once dedicated her
heart to.
