Authors Note : I deleted all my other stories because I realized I was going nowhere with them . I just had a brush of inspiration that inspired me to write this fanfiction, which I garuntee will be better than any of my other ones and I will finish . It may look like its in a weird format, but i just like the way it looks . If you read it and you like it, please let me know and reveiw . Flamers are Welcome even , If you hate it tell me . But if theres at least one person who likes my story and maybe gets something out of it, then i will continue . Very Very angsty, I wouldnt read this if your looking for a happy ending . Draco/Hermione, And i try to be as in charactor as i can . Most of the story is a flashback . Rated M for a reason . And im hoping to write a better summary in the near future .

Full Summary: Darkness became her. Hermione Granger is 22 years old, already the mother of a 5 year old boy without a father. She has lost the most part of her sanity, and it doesnt matter to her anymore. Anything that ever mattered died 5 years ago along with the love of her life. Back then, it was all so different ... after that one year, everyhing around her, just seemed faded. A lesser version of its older self . Nothing was worth it, but she lives for that boy . Most of story is a flashback . A story of hate . Of blood . Of love, passion, power, and destruction. That year changed everything .

- Faded -

Forgotten

The simplist of lies can have the greatest meaning

She stared at him . Expression blank . Silent . Indifferent .

"Wow, Hermione, i just cant believe thats really you . Its been, how long, 5 years ?"

His voice dripped with false enthusiasm .

"Guess it has, huh?"

Her gaze never left his face . It was like she was seeing a ghost . He hadnt changed a bit . Face only wiser from the years .

"Im married now ." He showed her his ring . "Shes actually a muggle too . 2 springs ago."

She managed a fake smile .

"Gee, Ronald, thats great . Im happy for you ."

Or at least in a sence she was .

"Her name's Ellie . She's amazing . Shes due in January with Arthur jr."

Hermione could tell he loved her .

He found somebody better .

"Wow . After your father i presume ."

She knew that was a stupid question .

"Yeah . Tell me, whats new with you ?"

Small talk . She knew he didnt care .

"Nothing . Roran started a muggle kindergarden the other day . Id rather keep him in this world as long as I can ."

She knew there was no way to hide the truth .

In the End it was inevitable .

"I forgot you were pregnant . How is he ? Ill have to meet him some time ."

He forgot because he wanted to forget .

They would never meet .

"Roran he's .."

A morbid smile ran across her face .

"He's just like his father . Looks like him too ."

He sort of gulped, but tried to pass it off as a cough .

That failed .

"Oh . Well, you should come for a drink with me . Leaky Couldron, around 9ish ?"

She wouldnt be meeting him anywhere .

"Sure . That'd be great ."

She smiled .

He exchanged his hand .

"Its been Great seeing you again, Hermione . See you tonight ."

She shook .

"Bye Ron ."

This was the second time those words had been said when she didnt think she would ever see the man again .

But she just saw him again .

She turned and walked .

5 years later and neither of them had changed since ..

It was that one year, five years ago, when everything changed .

When everything was how it was supposed to be .

Now, everythings just faded .
