Hermione stared sadly after Harry as he stormed angrily away from her, up towards his dorm. Through the crowd, up towards his dorm in Ravenclaw Tower. Soon she was left standing alone in the middle of their common room.
She was the only one who notice him leave.
He had been ignored by practically everybody except her since he'd come to Hogwarts.
Just because his brother was the boy-who-bloody-well-had-to-live.
Disowned.
Disowned.
Disowned.
It made her blood boil.
How could his family do this to him? Harry? The smartest, kindest, most loyal person she had ever met?
Disowned.
Disowned.
Just so that dear Charlus could snatch up his inheritance.
It was Dumbledore's work, she could've sworn it.
Disowned. Alone.
Well, Hermione thought. No matter what happens to him, he will always, always have me.
Disowned.
Disowned.
And later that day, when Harry apologised to her for storming off, she told him this.
And suddenly, the word didn't feel as bitter on her tongue.
