*Never Felt So Alone*
It's been a year since their funeral, since I got the letter. I've since moved out of the apartment I shared with Ginny. Since Ginny and Draco wanted to move in together and I needed to get away from everything, I offered to find another place.
Ginny said I didn't have to, that she would move somewhere else, but I refused. I needed to get away from the Wizarding world. Get a chance to be alone and with no reminders of the life in which I met the two most important friends in my life.
I moved to Muggle London. After a few months, I stopped responding to letters and lost all contact with the Wizarding world. My wand is hidden somewhere along with all my books, robes and pictures in the spare room of my apartment. I have a new job that pays fairly well, and for once, I can look at my surroundings without breaking down and sobbing.
I was sitting on my couch reading a book when a knock sounded at my door. I was surprised because I hadn't made friends with anyone in the complex, so there would be no reason for any of them to come over.
I got up and opened the door. I jumped in surprise when I saw who it was.
Draco Malfoy was standing outside my doorway.
I regained my composure and stood there, staring at him without blinking. I waited, letting him know I wanted an answer to why he was here. And fast.
"I need to talk to you."
Yea, like I didn't notice. Why else would he be here? I rolled my eyes and just looked at him, eyebrows raised. When he didn't say anything for a few seconds, I stepped back and went to close the door.
"Wait."
I ignored him and almost had the door completely shut when he spoke again.
"It's about Harry."
I flung the door open and glared at him.
"Is this your idea of a joke?"
He looked surprised, "No. why would you think that?"
"You just come walking up to my apartment telling me you found out something about Harry and you expect me to welcome you with open arms?"
"Well-"
"Ok fine. What did you find out?" I was getting angry. "Wait. let me guess. You found his Firebolt!"
"Well," he sounded shocked, "actually we did."
I raised my eyebrows. I was not expecting that. "Oh really. You did, did you? How thoroughly uninteresting. Now please leave me alone. I have a book that needs to be read."
"Hermione, he was on it."
My voice faded, I wouldn't get it to work. I couldn't comprehend what he was saying. Either that or I wouldn't.
"He's alive Hermione."
No. No. This can't be happening. He can't be alive. Not after all I've been through this past year. He can't come back now. Tears filled my eyes and my legs gave way. I collapsed to the floor outside my apartment.
When I came to, I was lying on my couch and Draco was standing over me, holding a cup of tea. He gave it to me and I drank it slowly, the events of what happened before coming back to me.
"How do you know?" I whispered, quietly, so he could just barely hear me.
"We saw him."
I glared at him. "And just by seeing him far off you can automatically assume its him."
"Hermione, it was-"
Tears started pouring down my face. He didn't get it. "Don't you know how easy it is to impersonate someone? Polyjuice Potion is out there; people can change their appearances. It could have been anyone."
He looked confused, "The Polyjuice Potion is very complicated and even if it was used, couldn't you tell by the way they act? It's not possible for the people to act exactly the same."
"Oh no? It isn't? Well let me clue you in on something. Maybe you didn't know that Harry, Ron and I all made that potion is our second year. Harry and Ron posed as your buddies Crabbe and Goyle and successfully tricked you into telling them all you knew about the Chamber of Secrets!"
I stood up. I knew I had got him there. I just proved what he said wrong. He never knew of the time Harry and Ron snuck into the Slytherin Common room. The reaction was immediate. He got really angry.
"You what? Your little boyfriends posed as my friends to get information out of me?"
"That's right, Malfoy." I smirked. Three twelve year olds brewed the potion and used it to a great effect. Isn't that surprising to you?" Tears started to fall harder and temper rose. "Isn't it suprising that the little mudblood and her two best friends could do that?"
His face immediately changed as he saw where I was going with this.
"Hermione-"
"Well, guess what? We'll never do it again; you won't have to worry about it! Because we can't ever do it again! Because they're gone! They're both gone! Dead! And they're never coming back! Ron's dead! Harry's dead! They left me here! They left me alone!"
"Hermione-" His voice was getting desperate, he didn't want me to yell like this.
"Get out of my apartment." I whispered it quietly, angrily.
"Hermione, just listen. Please."
"Get out."
He wouldn't move. He was very desperate now. "Please listen-"
"Get out! Now! I never want to see you again! I never want to hear another word about Harry being alive! You can't do this to me! I don't want to see any of you again! Everything I see back home reminds me of them! I can't take it! I've lost the man I love! I can't take it anymore!"
He looked shocked, "What? Hermione, you love-"
"OUT!"
I stood there, fuming until he left. As soon as the door shut I collapsed on the floor, crying.
How could they do that? How could they do this to me? Bring up Harry when I'd almost gotten over him? Give me false hope that he might just still be alive?
How could they?
I have to stop crying over Harry. There's no point in mourning anymore.
Because he's gone.
And I've never felt so alone.
