A/N: Right thanks to everyone, who guessed, the answer is on this chapter, it's quite upsetting so I put the rating up a bit. I thought of this story because I thought Hermione gets the worst deal, I mean Harry and Ron just take her for granted completely, especially Ron. So I thought I'd teach them a lesson and here you go.Hope you like it (by the way: my other story, I've ditched cos it would take too long to write, lol) So flame me if you please! Enjoy.

Love Fawkes_2001



1 The Letter Makes A Difference

A girl with dark, curly hair wept into her pillow beneath the shadows of her curtains. The four poster bed held many dark secrets within, to which no one would ever know apart from the inhibitor. Years of rejection, loneliness, unhappiness all bundled together in this bed. Hermione got up from her wet pillow; she looked around, to try to find solace, but found only darkness. Once the curtains had been moved she stood up ready to face them, ready to tell them she had had enough. But then she saw a letter, a letter on the table, and it said.it said.To My Love, Hermione. She grabbed the letter and once again closed the curtains, which already held so many secrets, how could it hold more? Nevertheless she closed them, tight and muttered "lumos" to which a glow erupted from the tip of her wand. And she read.

My love,

I see you across the room, smiling that sweet smile that always makes my heart break because I know you can not be mine. Your smile just makes me so.so different; it makes me distant to the world I know. I would do anything for you, my love; I would almost certainly die for you if it meant you would love me. As I know you do not and will not ever love me, but must you continue to be so beautiful?

I try, the lord knows I try to ignore the craving feelings I have for you. At night I long for you to be here with me, I long for the feeling of your lips on mine.

I CANNOT STAND not being able to hold you, I want to touch that sweet smelling hair, I want to caress that beautifully tanned skin, I want to look deep into those amazing, thoughtful eyes.

But fate stops me, and I must follow fate, but darling please do not forget, in your worst hour, in your worst day, when you think no-one loves you, remember this letter and remember I do.

From your sobbing admirer, never forget me.

She couldn't believe it, but what, was this a joke? A sick joke from, from them? Would they do this to her? Maybe.No, no they wouldn't. She finally placed the letter under her pillow and left the dormitory. Down the windy steps she went, into the noisy, happy common room. She looked around for them, found them both huddled in a corner together, as always, did they even notice she had been in the dormitory for over two hours?

"Hermione! Where have you been! We were going to look for you but Lavender said you were in the dormitory so we thought you were doing reading or something, but you've been in there for ages! What's up?" The curious boy looked deep into her red sad eyes; he saw hurt and betrayal. The boy with dark hair but bright green eyes moved closer to Hermione and gently put his hands on her shoulders.

"Hermione? Have you been crying? What's the matter?" He looked thoroughly concerned, and the other boy came over looking equally curious at her.

"Hermione?"

"What's the matter?! What's the matter?" She shrieked. "The matter is that for years I have put up with you two! I have put up with your boy bonding; I've been shunted to the side to do your homework! While you have fun playing with chess, maybe at first I didn't mind I thought they'd grow up a little and not take me for granted anymore. But that time before the Yule Ball, when you couldn't find a partner? (She was looking directly at Ron when she said this) And you came up with 'Hermione! You're a girl!' Oh well done Ron! Well I'm not taking it anymore, I'm not standing here waiting for you two to notice me and not just use me when you need some homework tips or something! I've had it with everything, absolutely everything! And now you go and send me this stupid love letter! I'm not that dumb! I know no one likes me so you didn't have to rub it in! Now leave me alone and never come near me again!!" She was sobbing by this point and absolutely everyone in the common room was staring at her. She took one look at them all and stormed out of the common room, to where, no one knew.

"Oh my god, Harry what is she talking about, what letter?" Ron had gone thoroughly pink and he looked very upset by the ordeal.

"I don't know what letter, but that doesn't matter Ron, we have to do something, she might be off to well you know.kill herself or something." Harry trailed off and looked at Ron who looked back with the same expression on his face. Find her, now.

They looked everywhere, from the library to the kitchens. But they missed one place out, the tunnel to Honeydukes, which was where Hermione was crawling, sobbing, thinking to. She paused, thinking of what she was going to do, she didn't know. And then she had an idea. She would do a test. If anyone really cared about her then they would be looking everywhere for her, someone would think of looking here, probably Harry. If no one found then she would know, she would know that no one cared. Smiling Hermione said the sleeping charm

"Equilus Son" With that her little head tilted to one side and she was in a deep sleep.



A boy, a boy no one would think would care was searching the large dark castle at night looking for Hermione. He was looking thoroughly in every corner for her. He had heard of her disappearance by Harry Potter and Ron Weasley who were discussing whether to tell anyone. Tjhey had decided not to, not until the morning.

"Well you won't need to because I will find her first and she will see who cares about he the most." He was smirking to himself, but deep beneath that smirk was a very worried expression. It was getting very late and the boy was getting quite tired but he couldn't give up. If anyone were up, any teachers then he would be done for. Because his silvery blonde hair easily showed up in the dark surroundings of the castle.



A/N: There you go! I guess it was a bit obvious really I mean who else would it be? Anyway so I will post the next chapter soon and you'll see what happens to Hermione! Love Fawkes_2001!
