Hey all! So, just a heads up, I'm going to try and get as many chapters up over the next week as possible. I'm going away for 2 weeks and then it'll be the end of term for me, so I'm going to be ridiculously busy. Hopefully, I can finish this story before I leave, but I make no promises.
Anyway, the story continues! Enjoy! (I know it's a short one, but the next few should be longer)
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.
Chapter 14 - Needy
Hermione was independent and strong. She could hold her own, be it a duel or an argument; she was by no means needy. Nor was she unobservant, however, even she wasn't sure what to do about the meddling prying of her friends. She was quite aware that they had noticed her stealthy escapes. Well, perhaps they weren't quite so stealthy; she did get caught after all. She was never the one to shirk a duty or shy away from a difficult situation.
Until now, that is.
She knew she would have to tell them eventually, and there were only really two possible outcomes: in the best case scenario, they could not care and be fine, or, the much more likely, worst case scenario, the would kill her.
Hermione very much doubted there would be any middle-ground in their reactions to her... situation.
Yes, she would call it that: a situation.
Yet no matter how she speculated, evaluated, contemplated, and every other type of "ated" there was, she still cycled back to square one.
Much to her horror, her anxiety over the eventual unveiling of her situation had reached critical mass, and as for her aforementioned horror, it was due to her sudden descent into the realm of needy girlfriend.
Oh, the horrors of life.
Thanks for reading! Leave a review, please. :)
