It's been ten years. Ten years since I let the light of my life go. Letting her go was the worst decision I have ever made. It's like a knife through my heart everytime I see her in the Prophet smiling and laughing, happy with the Ferret. That should have been me. I should be the one making her laugh and smile. I should be the one who is able to turn her day around with just a word or smile. I should be the one she gives that look to. But I'm not. Malfoy took her from right under my nose. I had such a hard time after Fred's death, I forgot that she might need a shoulder to lean on. Forgot that she lost people in the war too. Malfoy became her shoulder. They were just friends at first. Ha, just friends, what a joke. Slowly, slowly she turned away from me and began looking to Ferret face instead. It happened so slowly I didn't notice until she was gone. Gone. We were supposed to be forever, everyone said so. Supposed to end up together, in love and with a family, just like Harry and Ginny, or Luna and Neville. We were supposed to have a bunch of curly haired red heads running around. It was never supposed to be Hermione and Malfoy. I should have fought harder, harder for her love and affections. But I didn't, I let her go. Now I sit here, ten years after she told me she was sorry but thought that we would be better off as friends. Ten years since she left me for Malfoy. Ten years I've been wallowing in misery and darkness. Here's to another ten years watching the love of my life happy with another man.
