AN: This takes place in the 6th year. Hermione has just witnessed another public display of emotion between Ron and Lavender. And no, I don't own Harry potter :(
She (the other one)
... needs to be alone, or maybe surrounded by people.
... walks in a daze, a blur, a rush to the head.
... saw what she can't unsee, can't purge from her mind.
... pushes through the unyielding sea of people, past her mental block.
... tries to file it away in the corner of her head, the bottom of her heart.
... starts her climb, onward, upwards into impossibility.
... feels the sting, in her eyes, the bitterness in her mouth.
... trips, her ascent is halted, her vission blured.
... gulps in fresh, raw, painful air, almost there.
... bursts out, into the blinding sunlight, the mind-numbing reality.
... stares around, won't look down, calculating.
... is now alone, the gate open, it floods out.
... hears her sob, eching, bouncing around her.
... can't watch that any longer, she might implode.
... swears, there and then, vows to the deaf gods.
... will never let him see what he has done to her!
... collects herself, all the shattered pieces, all the odds and ends.
... turns, a resolution, heads back towards the sickly sweet taste of Lavender.
