Trapped in Darkness

by xxlovesuicide61xx

A quick drabble written early in the morning before class. Angsty. Alone. Hermione reflects on her loss. Set anywhere between the end of Half-Blood Prince and during the Hallows.

Love. Affection. Safety. Trust. Everything she had ever wanted. And everything she would never get.

Because of him.

Only he could give her that. And he was gone. It didn't matter that it wasn't of his own choosing or that she had other men more than willing to take his place. What mattered was that it had to be him, and her, together, or nothing. And thus she was doomed to have nothing. Doomed to live an eternity, alone, exposed to a life of cruelty and emptiness. All because he was gone.

Trapped in darkness and lost to her forever.
