Hagrid rushed to the door, something had to be wrong for someone to be knocking like that. "I'm jus' comin'. Hold your horses I'm jus' comin'"
Hagrid opened the door to find Hermione standing there with tears streaming down her face yet again. "Come in. Crikey girl! Come on in."
"I need to talk to someone." She said through her tears.
"Aye, I can see tha'" He ushered her into his cabin, Fang came rushing over, placing his large head in her lap when she sat down. "Tea?" Hagrid asked watching her closely.
"No thank you, Hagrid." Hermione wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her robes.
"Here." Hagrid passed her a large tissue. "What's up with you Hermione? Somethin' happened to you yesterday."
"I know and I thought that I could get over it, work it out myself, but I can't."
"Then why didn' you go to Harry and Ron?"
"They wouldn't understand Hagrid. I'm not even sure if you will but I have to speak to someone."
Outside the bell for first period rang. Hermione sat up ram-rod straight, a look of fear on her face.
"You jus' stay here. I'll go speak to Professor Dumbledor for you. You jus' stay were you are an' I'll be righ' back."
Hagrid left her in the cabin alone with her tears. She knew that she was being ridiculous but she couldn't help it. How could someone like Malfoy have meant so much to her? He was a foul and unfeeling creature, he had proved that when he didn't go after her, he just let her walk away. Fang nuzzled her hand looking at her with his large brown eyes. Hermione threw her arms around his head, crying on the shoulder of the large dog. She was still crying when Hagrid returned fifteen minutes later.
"I spoke with Dumbeldor an' he says you can make up your classes later."
Hermione said nothing, just nodded her head as she let go of the dog.
"Are you goin' to tell me what has made you so upset."
"Hagrid I'm sorry, I didn't want to burden anyone with this but I can't keep it to myself anymore."
"An' you shouldn' have to. You know you can tell me anythin' Hermione. Anything that has you feelin' like this needs to be talked about."
"I know but it's hard. No one will understand, you wont understand."
"Try me."
"I…I don't know where to start. I, uh, it's Malfoy."
"I should a known." Hagrid shouted angrily.
"It's not what you think. Please just listen."
"Okay. Sorry."
"I broke up with him."
"I don' understand." He looked at her as if he were trying to piece things together.
"I'm in love with him Hagrid. We were going out and…and…"
"I don' think I wan' to hear anymore Hermione."
"Hagrid please? I have no one else to turn to."
Hagrid said nothing as he sat staring into his large hands. He couldn't face her now that he knew what had been bothering her. He wished she had never told him.
"I should of known."
Hermione stood up, heading for the door. Hermione ran from the cabin, tears once again welling in her eyes. Hagrid called after her, but she just kept on running, ignoring the pleas that boomed around the castle grounds.
How could she have been so stupid? She shouldn't of even tried to tell anyone, now Hagrid knew and whether or not he would tell Harry and Ron she didn't know but what did it matter the damage was now done. As she ran, Hermione thought back to her life the day that she had been forced towards Malfoy, a day that she wished had never happened. The day that all of her problems began.
