Disclaimer: I am not lucky enough to own Harry Potter or anything else you recognise!

Inspiration: Vanessa Amorosi - 'This Is Who I Am'.

All my life I've tried to be that girl, the perfect studious child that is the top of every single class.

And I'm sick of it. I've been through so much and I'm tired of keeping up this image. Some days I just want to take some time out and hang out with Ginny and the boys, but no, everyone expects entirely too much of me.

I've finally realised exactly how I want to live my life. But it's so hard to just switch to the real Hermione, the real me because no-one seems to understand.

Ron is the least understanding. No matter how many times I tell him it just doesn't sink in. Last weeks pre-dinner drinks showed that.

"Wow Mione, looking great," Harry greeted me.

Ron turned, "What the hell happened to you? Gain about 20 pounds or something?" he sneered.

I lost it completely.

I screamed at him, "I don't care if I'm fat Ron, I'm pregnant you bloody moron. But at least I can go to sleep at night knowing that I'm not a complete arse to my friends."

I've spent years hating the person I've become. I need some bloody freedom. The world keeps spinning and I'm getting trapped in it.

After all the shit that Ronald Bilius Weasley has put me through you think he'd be happy for me.

I am no longer just 'Hermione Granger – Bookworm Know-It-All / Harry Potter's best friend'.

I am quite happy being 'Hermione Malfoy – Wife of Draco Malfoy and mother to an amazing set of twins with another on the way'.

Thanks for reading,
