This is actually the first time I'm writing something in English, so please be forgiving :)

The girl stood in front of the mirror staring numbly at her reflection. She tried hard not to focus on the blood-red letters engraved on her forearm. After a few moments, she took a deep breath and pulled down her long black sleeve. „It's okay, Hermione" she muttered „You can do this. Everything's fine". The girl gave herself her best forced smile and grabbed her bag itrying to ignore the pain on her forearm.

It was the first day of school. The first one since it all happened, and she knew it'll be different this time. She came back to Hogwarts to finish her education, and she was all alone. Harry and Ron decided not to come back. She understood their decision, it was weird and painful to be in the same place they've lost so many friends just a few months ago in.

Walking slowly to the Great Hall, she instinctively rubbed her hurt forearm. Profesor McGonagall offered to remove the inscription, but Hermione refused, knowing it won't erase her traumatic memories.

The woman stood up from the ground in a cave that became her home a few months ago. She was finally getting stronger. It won't take long for her to finally heal after the battle. She madly smiled to herself fixing her dark curly hair. „I'll be coming for you, my filthy moodblod" She hissed through her teeth. „You'll pay for what you've done to me and my master."
