Train Ride Scenery

As she stared out at the scenery out of the train window a pang of guilt washed through Hermione. Her mind drifted back to the twin looks of understanding and acceptance on her two best friends faces when she had told them that she was going home.

'How stupid can you get Hermione?' Hermione thought to herself as she gazed out of the window at the snow covered landscape in front of her. 'Ron's family is properly too poor for all of them to go away on holiday which is why only his parents are going to visit his older brother for and Harry...Harry's family hates he, they would never allow him to go on holiday with them.'

Trying to push herself loathing to the back of her mind Hermione did stared at the falling snow as it coated the earth. Her brown eyes watched as farmers herded their animals into the barns and the leafless tree branches danced in the wind. As they passed over the bridge she leant forwards and looked down at the frozen lake below only to shudder as a thought hit her.

'I hope that our friendship is not like the weather when I get back to school' Hermione thought as she hugged herself. 'I like having Ron and Harry as friends, I rather have our friendship be like the scenery out of the train window in the summer time than be like the scenery out of the train window in the winter.'

Biting her lip nervously Hermione glanced at her school bag that sat beside's her on the empty seat as the train entered a dark tunnel. The coldness from outside suddenly seemed to enter the train compartment in Hermione's opinion as she gazed at the two empty places that her two best friends would normally sit when on the train with her.

'Without Ron and Harry here it feels just like the weather outside' Hermione thought as the train exited the tunnel and back out into the winter wonderland. 'Cold, deadly, dark and lonely...I wish that Ron and Harry was with me.'

Letting out a depressed sigh Hermione looked out of the window at the passing scenery with a thoughtful expression on her face. Maybe she could think up of a way to invite both Harry and all of the Weasley's with her and her family on holiday next time.
