*Never Felt So Alone*
I woke up this morning knowing something was wrong. Very wrong. My pillow was wet with tears and my face still felt damp. Suddenly last night's events came back to me. What had happened. Who had shown up in my apartment.
I walked slowly into the kitchen, hoping last night was a dream. Hoping none of this had happened. But no. There he was, sitting at the other end of the table, staring at me.
I opened my mouth to say something and he nodded towards my seat. Just nodded. No hello, no explanation, nothing. Just a nod.
I looked down and scowled. At my place on the table was a plate of waffles and bacon. Great. Now he's bribing me with my favorite food.
I glanced from the plate to him. He just raised his eyebrows at me. I glared and sat down at my seat. He smiled as I cut a piece of waffle and put it into my mouth.
Even better. He's bribing me; and guess what, I'm not falling for it. He just shows up at my apartment after I think he's dead and bribes me with food so I don't yell at him.
He's got something else coming.
I've gone beyond where I can be bribed.
If he thinks he can just walk back into my life after all I've been through. He is definitely going to get it.
I put my empty plate in the sink and sat back in my chair, looking at him. Harry opened his mouth, but I beat him to it.
"Why?"
He was taken aback. Apparently he wasn't expecting me to say anything. "What?"
"Harry," I paused. It felt so strange to actually say his name. "You have just shown up in my apartment, at night I might add, when I thought you were dead. I want an explanation."
His smile slipped off his face. "Mione, look, I'm sorry. I should have let you know somehow. I just didn't want you to get hurt."
I rolled my eyes and stood up, "You know, that's exactly what you said last time. 'I don't want you to get hurt.' Well it didn't work Harry! You hurt me just as much by leaving! Just as much, if not more that you would have if you stayed!"
"You could have been killed if I stayed!" He stood up, "I don't think there's much worse than being killed!"
"You killed me by leaving! And it was worse than anything Harry! Way worse than just getting cursed!"
He just looked at me, not able to understand what I was saying.
"You don't get it, do you?" I walked out of the kitchen into the living room, not wanting to deal with this.
Harry followed me and grabbed my shoulders so I would look at him. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh don't be thick! When you left it killed me! It felt like someone ripped my heart right out of my body!"
"Hermione. What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? What do I mean?! I'm in love with you Harry! I always have been! That's why it killed me when you left! You took my heart with you! You left me alone!"
His jaw dropped, "But Hermione, I thought you'd always liked-"
"Ron. Yes, I know. You made that perfectly clear in the letter you left me. Of course I liked Ron! He was like my brother! But I never loved him!"
"I'm sorry Hermione," he said, taking a step closer, "I never knew."
"Of course you never knew! No one ever knew! No one ever cared, no one ever-"
I was cut off because at that moment, Harry leaned down and kissed me.
"No one ever knew I loved you either."
Maybe I'm not so mad at Harry.
And maybe I won't feel so alone.
