There she stood. Asking herself, where she did wrong? Feeling small and vulnerable. She remembers the words clear. She starts to cry ignoring the weird glances of her classmates. Is it possible that life hates me that much? She thought as she whimper. Nothing will help her from getting out of this. And then she cry ageing, harder. Can it get worst? It's almost the end of the six year at Hogwarts. Her goals and satisfaction of this year was at her tops. Until the news of Dumbledore break down. Which changes everything. One afternoon Dumbledore ask Hermione to past his office after class. Nervous she went. What if is a complain? Or a low grade? I did everything right and nice, what did I do? The young witch thinks. And finally she enter his office. Dumbledore ask Hermione to accept a request that needs to be done. Is to give a chance to new generation of witches and wizards to change their mind about muggle born. She was pleased by the idea. But no quiet so sure what Dumbledore is asking her. Then she hearts it and breaks down, she tried so hard to not break down right there in front of Dumbledore. He says "Hermione, would you accept to marry Draco Malfoy?" She cry even harder. The hallway that is filled with students minding their own business, not caring Hermione's break down. And the worst part of this whole situation is that she can't tell her two dearest friends.
It seems that life hates her. After years of torture and been mock by her blood, she has to marry him. Dear Merlin! The young witch screamed in her head. Feeling like there's no choice, she accepts it. It's been a week since the trip to Dumbledore's office and it's been hell. That means goodbye freedom. Definitely she will not have a chance to be attract to a guy who is worth. Well who is she kidding she has no love life. Like the only guy she's been with is the one who invite her in four year. And she didn't even had chemistry with the guy. The only reason she went with him was to see a reaction from Ron. Clearly that didn't work, he went with freaking Lavender. Witch! Wait a minute. Since then Ron has this like love-crush, she doesn't even know what is like their relationship. Ron made clear his feelings. After years of friendship, showing little hints that maybe he has an interest to the know-it-all, the brain of the trio, the bookworm was all wrong.
And because of Ron, after the four year Hermione is been force to create shield to protect her emotions around Ron and Lavender. Is not easy as been said than done. Through the years, Hermione has found herself really alone. She couldn't confess her feelings to Harry, because that would make it worst the situation that Ron doesn't even know and she couldn't tell Ginny because is Ron's sister, so she's screwed. So she has made the choice to shut it and suffer. Really, that so not Gryffindor'ish thing to do. That's so pathetic and coward from her part. That is not who she and how she is. And now she has to suck it up, cause she has to marry Malfoy. Oh god, that so wrong. Marrying the enemy is like a punch in the gut. Is like ignoring the past and forgive all the humiliations, the insults, the worst treatment she has ever had in her life and pretend she madly in love with him. Against her will, just to please an idea to make a better place.
Nobody bother ask her feelings, her opinion. But whatever, she guess is better to pretend to have someone than have this feelings and been all alone. Maybe she can forgive him and try to be friends with Draco. The bubble of a giggle burst out, and she starts to laugh. Now the glances are from worry to confuse. She laughing alone that sound so crazy. But she not in the mood to care. The hallway is almost empty and the students went off to the classrooms and she was the only one there. Just standing there looking into space, lost in thoughts. Until a voice which sound panic snap out of her worries. She turns to her right finding a flush, panicked Harry running towards her. And Ron after him. Oh no don't tell me he found out. Harry finally gets to her and hides behind Hermione, knowing she would deal with Ron better than him. Really after surviving from the Dark Lord when he was a baby and not been afraid at all, he's more afraid to confront his best mate. Hermione groans loudly.
"I'm going to kill you" Ron growls
"Don't, please" Hermione looks at her friends already bored with the conversation. She knows she will win the argument but she doesn't want to deal with them know, not after the recent news.
"Why?! You know what's he been doing?" Waiting for her respond, and not giving him one he continues. "He was kissi- no more like fucking making out with my sister in the common room. It was empty they saw as an opportunity to do whatever they were going to do! Thank Merlin that I got there on time." Ron spits like is venom and her was beyond mad. Hermione will say more like hurt than angry. The poor kid has to find out the worst way that her sister is snagging with his best friend. And what makes it worst is it was behind his back. So yeah more hurt than angry.
Ron still glaring at Harry who only stood there feeling guilty and looking to his shoes that seems to be more interesting than the situation in front of him. Hermione waits for Harry to speak up, but clearly the guilt is eating him up, so she steps in.
"Ron," Ron looks at her. "you been unreasonable. We are talking about Ginny's feelings. If she feels happy with Harry, so beat. Don't make unhappy because of your selfishness. You have to accept it, not now but in time." Ron now glares to Hermione knowing she is right. But he will not admit it out loud. "And as for you Harry" Harry glances at her then back to his shoes. "You and Ginny should have told Ron way before. You could have avoid so much trouble. He wouldn't been this mad in half a year ago-"
"This has been going all a half year!" Ron shouts. Ok now he is angry. Hermione groans inside. Surprise the mistake she just has done, she tries to make it better. But before she realize Ron turned around and left. Great he super mad about this, she couldn't image the reaction of her engagement. She doesn't want to lose her friends. She didn't think this through enough. What if Ron and Harry will never accept it, or leave her. She can't deal with that. The idea terrifies her, and she couldn't control the tear that have left her eyes. Before she know it's, she sniff softly ready to sob again. A pair of arms hugs her tightly in comfort.
"Don't worry. He'll come around. Is not your fault" Harry whisper.
Oh, how little he knows. Now she feels even guiltier about the thing with Malfoy than fact she open a secret. And like that she sobs even harder. Harry held her, whispering non sense, thinking that she was guilty about confessing the secret. After minutes of cries, she finally goes silent, just enjoying the feeling of the embrace.
"We should go, we're super late for class" Harry says suddenly. Hermione's eyes goes wide. The young witch was never late for class. She pulls away from the warm embrace and recover herself.
"yes we should hurry"
She turns her heels and walk through the hallway in silent as Harry follows the trail. They enter the classroom making them the center of attention. Every pair of eyes went to them. It's not like the first time that Harry got late in a class, but now Granger. Less with a puffy red eyes, obviously she's been crying. Professor Snape turns from the board and looks at the two students. He doesn't say nothing just glares, sending the signal to move a sit to continue his lesson. Quickly the two young kids went to sit where Ron was. As they both sit Ron glares them and turn his back facing Lavender.
Rolling her eyes, disgust by them and tries to pay attention to Snape. But the cruel thought of her and Malfoy in church getting marry creeps her, making her lose her focus. And he sitting across the room doesn't help. The icy grey-ish blue eyes pierces' her like blazes cutting in cold blood. Her head screaming not to look at him, but failing she glances to him. She regret it. His face was unreadable. Even do his eyes you can see hate through it, his face was blank. She wonders how he took the new. Was he surprise? Shock? Furious? Hermione didn't know but she just hoped that he would be nice about it. She's been through enough for the last day of class. Just say hello summer, and prepare the wedding plans.
