"Right, and what part of your life do you have trouble
coping with?" Lisle asked.
"Everything." Harry cried.
"It's so hard. I grew up with no parents, but with awful muggle relations. There
was Voldemort, trying to kill me and other people. And there were all those
deaths! I'm only 23…" Harry started to cry violently. Lisle walked over and sat
next to him.
"Hey, it's okay."

Hermione walked downstairs to have some breakfast. As she was on the stairs she could see Ron and Sylvia on their couch, hugging and kissing. Hermione ran upstairs, crying her eyes out.
************************
"I also really miss my
partner, Hermione." Harry said.
"And why did she leave you?"
Lisle asked.
"God, I told you!" Harry
shouted, then realised what he was doing. "Because I couldn't cope with my life
and I couldn't control my temper." He added quietly.
"Alright. So what part of
your life do you want to fix right now?" Lisle was asking a lot of questions.
"Um… I want Hermione to come
and live with me again. But I know she won't 'cause she hates me." Harry said,
bursting into tears. He had kept them in for so long, that now there were so
many to shed. "I'm sorry." He sobbed.
"Hey, it's okay. It's a great
achievement when you start crying. Now, I'm sure she doesn't hate you. She
probably just couldn't cope with you losing your temper all the time." Lisle
said.
"Maybe."
"Why don't you write a letter
to her, explaining how you feel and why you had been getting angry. Tell her
that you will stop taking it out on her. Because, Harry, it's good to let the
emotions out, but not to take it out on someone. So, will you write that letter
to her?"
"Yes."
************************
It had been ages since
Hermione had heard from Harry. Even though he had physically and emotionally
abused her, she still loved him. Hermione sighed and threw herself down on her
bed. It was so nice of Ron and Sylvia to let her stay, after all she'd been
going through. Hermione heard a noise. It was Hedwig, with a letter. Hermione
took the letter, mumbled a 'thanks' and started to read.
