Ok chapter 4 is up liking the reviews thanks to all, I don't own Harry Potter etc etc.
Space that's all she needed from him, space to think and space to reorganize her thoughts, Hermione took a deep calm breath and knew that she had overreacted, truth be known she was a tad hurt that Harry didn't include her, in something so big.
It wasn't like him she thought inside her already overloaded mind, "why didn't he tell me", without thinking or knowing where she was going, she took the only route that she knew by heart, right into the library, a small smile began on her lips slowly making it up to her eyes, peace and solace, she remembered this was the only place she could truly be at home here.
Madam Pince remained on as the head librarian, she was still stern, with her black framed glasses and tight bun on the crown on her head, she still wore dark grey robes, with green truffles on the sleeves, Hermione felt herself releasing her first real breath, it had been way overdue this visit, and she knew in order to survive this wedding, she would have to take the bullet, and finally realize that unrequited love, was no life at all. Making her way around the first bookcase she was amazed on how much had changed.
Gone were the old round tables that Hermione loved so much, instead there were other sized tables from rectangular to round ones and even a triangle one that fitted in the corner, new seats were fitted beside the new tables, but that was not the reason why Hermione raised her eyebrows, sitting on top of all the desks, a computer screen with a keyboard was placed on top of it, curiosity is a sin Hermione thought but knowledge is power, and with the thought she strolled over to inspect the unusual muggle technology in Hogwarts.
As she sat down, she noticed that someone had permanently cushioned the flat seat, looking on the screen, she realized that it was a catalogue with just one simple click of the mouse, any book you desired was in your hands before you could click ok, "Wow" she exclaimed out loud.
"It also goes on the internet if that's what you require" a soft voice spoke "And the reference in the back is quite extraordinary, did you know that our yearly quota of owls and newts have increased by 60 %?" Big silver eyes stared into honey brown eyes, Hermione couldn't completely put into sentence on how much this young lady had left an imprint on her heart " Luna" Hermione whispered " Yeah" enquired Luna with her blonde eyebrow disappearing in her fringe. "Never ever change, you are amazing how you are" Hermione replied, and she right, Luna was still Luna, but the years had truly done her justice, her long blonde hair that was usually tangled and messed up with flowers and leaves, now lay just beneath her shoulders, she had cut most of her length of after the war, stating that she wanted a new look,
It obviously worked since Neville proposed soon after, but it was in her air that Hermione saw the most changes, gone was the awkward girl, who asked questions that were inappropriate and full of curiosity, in front of her she saw a woman, so beautiful and caring about every creature of the world, Hermione remember guiltily how she scorned at Luna when they first met, thinking she was loony and not worth her attention, now she could not picture a better and friend and sister, since she considered most of her Gryffindor boys her family. Without even moving Luna had embraced Hermione so quickly that she didn't have time to think, Luna was hugging her tightly that Hermione was trying to say something "Luna need….to…breath here" Hermione struggled to say, in an instant Luna was standing in front of her, holding her hands, "Sorry about that, but it has been far too long Hermione, and the wrackspurt around you are quite fascinating, did you know you were made from a rainbow? Asked Luna, what an odd question, but knowing Luna as she did, she didn't question it, what she had learnt long ago, was never EVER dismiss words that were said from Luna, in some ways, it always came around. "I didn't know that Lun's but thank you for telling me" replied Hermione with a genuine smile for her good friend.
Hermione surveyed the new and improved library with such pride and love, her Harry had made this place so much more roomier and lovelier than she ever expected, " he did this for you dear" Luna spoke with her silver eyes looking at Hermione, " he said that if he could do something right as head master, he would completely revamp Hogwarts, into the 21st century, and I do say it was really fascinating this muggle technology, I love my mp3 player" with that said Luna produced a pink and purple mp3 player from her front robes including unicorn ears, " Luna how can devices like these work here? Hermione inquired, it just wasn't right, if Dumbledore could have changed the way they studied years ago, maybe their society would have been more tolerant to Muggles, " you will have to ask Harry that my dear friend, but I must leave, Neville is taking me out to muggle London, for a date night" Noticing that Luna spoke with such love for her husband to be, it reminded Hermione if her situation, and her face must have shown her deep emotion, for Luna came up to her face, lifting her chin with her fingers " Hermione if you deny your very nature, of love, what kind of life is that you should tell Harry" "tell Harry what Luna" Hermione exclaimed, she was use to Luna by now, but some things she didn't want to express out loud, " you have to tell him that you're hurt and need a hug " replied Luna simply, with that she was out of the library swaying to no music.
She sat down thinking best on how to approach her problems until she had an idea, she would write down all the problems inside her, and by categorizing them, she could find out exactly why she was really mad with Harry…
