Seeing Green
She brushed a tear from her eye with one hand and stroked the picture with the other. Hermione Granger watched her best friends in the moving picture. Ron Weasley had his arm around his girlfriend, Lavender Brown, and they were both waving. The Hermione in the picture was sandwiched between Ron and her other best friend, Harry Potter. The Hermione who was looking at the picture directed her gaze at Harry. His messy black hair covered his scar, and his green eyes were sparkly happily. His arm was slung across Hermione's shoulder and occasionally, he would kiss her on her cheek. *Nine months*, she thought uneasily. *He's been gone for nine months.*
Hermione sighed. She missed Harry dreadfully. He was her best friend for seven years, and they had started dating at the end of their sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They had planned on getting married, but now Hermione didn't think they would ever get to. Harry had been gone for nine months, and every second was slowly eating away Hermione's life. Sometimes at night, she would hear his voice playing in her head. One day, she even found herself counting all of the times he had said he loved her. The list became so long, she had given up on it, but that didn't change the fact that she had begun the list. All of her friends and family had tried to comfort her, help her get over the pain, but nothing worked. Hermione thought that deep down she didn't want the pain to go away, so she wouldn't forget about him.
"Herm?" A soft voice whispered at the door to Hermione's bedroom. Hermione recognized the voice as Ginny Weasley, Ron's little sister.
"Come in, Gin. I need someone to talk to right now." Hermione placed the picture on her night stand and sat down on her bed. Ginny also sat down. "Ginny, do you think I'll ever get over him?" Hermione asked.
Ginny looked thoughtful for a moment before she said, "I don't think you *want* to get over him. Frankly, I don't think anyone can make herself do something that they don't want to do."
Hermione nodded in agreement. She sighed. "You're right, of course. I *don't* want to get over Harry. I just want the pain to go away."
Ginny had sympathy in her brown eyes for her friend. "Hermione, nobody ever said this was going to be easy.especially for you."
Hermione smiled weakly. "Well, it can't be easy for your entire family, can it?" Ginny shook her head. The Weasley's had practically adopted Harry over the seven years they had known him. "Ginny, it's been nine months. Don't you think I should be okay by now?" Her voice trembled with uncertainty.
"No, Hermione, I think if you *weren't* okay, I'd be worried. When you haven't seen someone you love for nine months, life is hard.no matter whom you are." Ginny responded genuinely.
"Just checking." Hermione whispered. She shut her eyes, and she saw two tiny green ovals in a sea of black. They appeared to be coming closer to Hermione. It was then that Hermione realized that they were a pair of eyes. Hermione gasped out loud and opened her eyes.
"Harry." She breathed.
Ginny frowned. "Hermione, what's wrong? What did you see?"
"Green. I'm seeing green everywhere." Hermione whispered drearily.
Ginny placed a comforting hand on Hermione's shoulder. "Herm, if you ever need to talk again, I'm here for you."
Hermione braved a small smile and replied, "Thank you, Ginny. I may be taking you up on your offer soon."
Ginny nodded and left Hermione's bedroom slowly. Hermione made sure that the door was shut behind her. She climbed back to her bed and muttered, "Nox," drenching the room in darkness.
"He's been dead for nine months and I'm *still* seeing green."
