11. Pirouette
Prompt: Autumn
Hermione's POV
The autumn leaf pirouetted to the ground, landing at my feet.
I had watched it with fascination, saddened by the way it had lived for such a brief moment before dying in an insignificant way.
I thought of the war then, of the people who had lived and died for a cause that meant everything to the Wizarding World. Their lives were brief too, some of them just kids, but their deaths were never insignificant.
I turned to Ron and took his hand. He didn't say a word but he saw the look in my eyes.
And together, we mourned.
