Hermiones aim

The eventful morning started out like any other. Hermione awoke at seven am and ran to the shower, it was always better to have a shower early before the rest of the Gryffindor's in her dorm stomped the place.

She showered got dressed and went down stairs for breakfast. Early as usual she didn't see any of her friends at the table and sat down to eat alone. As she was reaching for a piece of toast a shadow fell over the table.

"Well, well look what the wind blew in, some mud from the dark forest. Its all over you Granger!"

"Look what the cat dragged in the little white ferret himself. Been running around climbing up people's pants, Malfoy?"

"How dare you speak to me with disrespect you filthy Mudblood."

"Oh please you've been calling me that since second year, change your tune Malfoy. You still have two weeks before graduation to come up with something original. Time starts NOW…….."

Malfoy was speechless; he couldn't think of anything spiteful to say so he scowled at her and said

"Fine just give me a week and you'll have a knew nick name Granger."

"Ok"

With that he left In the direction of the Slytherin table, the scowl never leaving his face. Hermione watched him go. The seven years of insults were heavy on her shoulders.

How can some one hate me so much?' She thought grimly.

It was not that she wanted to be friends with Malfoy, no it was just that feeling that some one out their hates you for no fault at all.

Hermione ate her toast slowly thinking about Hogwarts. In two more weeks she would be free to live out in the wizarding world. Her exceedingly good grades have earned her a couple of high paid job invitations. She could start working strait away. Her only concern was Ron, lately she hadn't had time for him and he has been hanging out more and more with that slut Lavender Brown.

It worried Hermione that Ron was growing attached to her; she didn't want Ron to start dating with Lavender or anyone for that matter. Hermione wanted Ron for her self; she has had a crush on him since third year but has always been to preoccupied with studying to pay much attention to her feelings. Yet now when her education was nearly over she felt that she should pay more attention to her personal life. Her first step would be to ask Ron to go to Hogsmead with her, she knew he wouldn't refuse; after all he liked her didn't he?

Hermione's thought were interrupted by some one plonking down next to her. That some one was her best friend aka the boy who lived'.

"Hey Harry"

"Hey did you hear the news" he said cheerfully, piling up bacon and eggs.

"What news?" (Hermione never paid attention to school gossip)

"Lavender just got engaged" he said through a mouthful of breakfast.

"That's great, so who's the lucky guy?" she asked not really caring as her eyes were widening by sight in front of her. Harry sure knew how to pig out.

"Ron"

Hermione's jaw dropped open. Her eyes left Harry's face and were know resting their gaze on the table cloth. She didn't want Harry to see that they were clouded with emotion

Anger, denial, pain, denial, hurt, denial were just a few of the emotions she was experiencing all at ounce. This was making her dizzy.

I need to get out of here' she thought

She stood up and made her way silently towards the hall exit, ignoring Harry's please to wait for him. She didn't know what happened to her normal day but things just got a whole lot more complicated. Hermione did know one thing that didn't change and that was her aim. She knew that she may not be the winner, but she hasn't lost yet.
