-1The rain dripped down the window, and she sat leaning against the wall. She looked down at the photo of the three of them for a moment, before crumpling it up in her fist and throwing it across the room. She put her elbows against the window sill and lie there, tears dripping down her cheeks, rain dripping down the glass.
They used to be the Golden Trio, the one that would never split. The three best friends that would never betray one another. They used to be. Not anymore.
It was all because of this stupid rain.
Rain.

(A/N) - I tend to hate flashbacks, but I really liked my beginning. So here it is. A flashback. I also hate reading an entire story in italics, so the flashback is regular, and the beginning is in italics. Sorry if this confuses you. And I'm sorry for my ocd-ness. Now read.
She always loved the rain. Her bushy hair would soak it up and fall freely around her face. She looked pretty in the rain. She sort of… glowed.
She looked out the window in the library, only to see that it was raining, and she couldn't resist going out in it. She made her way towards the black lake and sat beneath the tree, watching as each drop hit the water. Drip-drop-splash. Drip-drop-splash. She sat there for minutes listening to nothing but the splash of the rain drops. That is, until a certain messy-haired friend showed up.
"Hey, Hermione," He called to her.
"Hello, Harry." She smiled up at him, and gave him a questioning look. "What are you doing down here?"
He laughed and said, "I was going to ask you the same thing."
"I like the rain. I love it, actually. I always have," she said pensively. He just nodded and sat down next to her. She looked over and smiled.
"Where's Ron?"
"Playing a game of chess with Seamus. He's so bloody obsessed with that game."
"You sound bitter, Harry," Hermione said, laughing.
"Oh no, not at all."
"Harry, stop moping. You've still got me." He looked over at her and held her gaze for what seemed like eternity before saying,
"You mean that?"
She nodded. He smiled radiantly and intertwined his hand with hers, and they sat there in the rain until it stopped, just enjoying each other's presence.
