Oh god it hurt.

Hermione sat across the library, twizzling a chestnut lock of hair around a muggle pencil. Her eyes roamed over her parchment in that way they had, dark lashes shading her beautiful, perfect eyes. He felt his heart thump out a rapid beat in his chest, and released a shuddering breath.

He loved Hermione. He tried not to stare, but it was difficult when she bit her lip like that… chewed on the tip of a quill, looked in his direction, walked down a corridor…

He sighed. Soon, he promised himself. Soon she would understand. Soon she would know how much it hurt to love someone who didn't love you back.

A/N: I wrote this for a 100 words prompt but it came out too long and I don't think it should be clipped. My sister gave me the prompt, "100 words about someone's obsession". It came out darker than I expected!

If you do stumble upon this perchance, please don't hesitate to leave a review! (Please... pretty please...) ;) GG x
