Learning To Let Go
Chapter One A Story Untold
After their Fourth Year at Hogwarts things changed a lot, for the golden trio. There friendship was stronger but they knew something was different, Hermione had a secret that she was too afraid to share.
Her and Cedric Diggory had a relationship together, that they never told anyone. They never told because Cedric was with Cho at the time, and Hermione thought it best not to say anything.
When Harry came back from the graveyard in the fourth task, Hermione's heart shattered into a million pieces. But she could never show how she felt because, no one knew about the two of them. Everyone was more worried for Cho Chang, and how she was feeling about Cedric dying.
Now they were heading into their Fifth Year of school, and Hermione had noticed that Cho had been falling in love with Harry. Not that she minded but Ginny didn't like it one bit, as she liked Harry a lot.
Worse still there knew teacher for Defence Against The Dark Arts, was Professor Umbridge and she wouldn't let them do magic at all. Harry felt more alone then ever, but most of that was his own fault for not talking about what was bothering him. A storm was coming they all could feel it, they just didn't know when it would hit.
They also was worried about there friend Hagrid, you see it wasn't there but they had heard of the grape vine he was on a mission for Dumbledore. Sitting in Defence Against The Dark Arts that afternoon, Hermione was starring out the window. Her mind always thought back to her times when she was with Cedric, before the last task in there Fourth Year they had met up by the lake.
Flashback
It was a very sunny day and Hermione felt like a walk, she had a free period that afternoon as did Cedric. As she walked along feeling a slight breeze in her hair, she sat down when she came to a stone bench by the lake. Pulling out one of her many books from her book bag, Hermione began reading it to herself it was Hogwarts History.
Reading deep into the book, Hermione had not noticed Cedric behind her till he tapped her shoulders. They both were wearing their house uniforms, and Cedric always looked very dashing in his. "Oh Hi there Cedric, how are you doing nervous about the last task?"
He was tired of standing so he sat down next to her, study her face for a moment and than looking into her eyes. "Yes I am nervous, you see I have a uneasy feeling about it. But Hermione there is something I need to tell you." With that she closed her book, to give Cedric her full attention, he took hold of her hands.
"Ced it's going to be fine, I know you'll do great. What is it that you need to tell me, I'm listening." Said Hermione looking deep into Cedric's eyes, he cleared his throat and spoke. "I'm going to end it with Cho tonight, because I love you Hermione Granger and I will only truly be ok winning the cup if I have you to come back to."
The sun was beaming down on the two lovebirds, and a single tear slid down from Hermione's eye. "Wow Cedric I love you too, you'll be forever in my heart no matter what happens." With that the two of them smiled at each other and Cedric leaning into Hermione claiming her lips, not caring that they were outside at the time he kissed her with a force that was left wanting more.
She kissed him back making him moan slightly, her lips applied more pressure to his making both of there mouths open sliding there tongues together as if they were dancing.
End Flashback
"Class I would like you to read chapters through 1 to 10 for homework, before our next class anyone have a problem with that?" Umbridge starred around the room, and frowned when she noticed that Hermione's hand was up in the air. "Yes Ms Granger what can I do for you?"Umbridge said and Hermione knew what she had to say, would not make her happy at all.
"What if you have already read the whole book, which I have what should I do than?" Smiling slightly Umbridge had heard from the other teachers about her Hermione was the smartest witch of her age, she was starting to see why. "Well I guess you will have no homework, maybe you can help your friends I'm sure they need the help." Not wanting to argue that Hermione agreed, Harry and Ron had been watching Hermione stare out the window half the class and really was shocked to see her even talk to Umbridge.
The class now was ended and everyone filed out of the room, and Harry stopped Hermione before she could take off. "Hermione are you ok, you seem off with pixies?" Damn they had noticed but she didn't feel like talking about it, considering she couldn't tell them the truth about her and Cedric. "I'm fine really look I gotta run, I have to meet Ginny I promised her I will see you all later." Harry was not convinced that Hermione was fine, as she took off Ron and Harry starred into that direction. Oh well he thought he would catch her another time and place, Hermione was to meet Ginny in the Common Room so that is were she headed.
End Chapter One.
