Chapter 3
*This is not happening to me. This is not happening to me.* "This is not happening to me," Hermione continued, whispering it out loud.
"Hermione?" Harry and Ginny said together, both looking so red with shock.
Hermione tried to stop the tears from falling. She just couldn't let anyone know, not right now, not when she has kept it for so long from so many people. She couldn't let Harry, especially, know that she was in love with him. That she had been. For so long.
She took a deep breath and started to walk slowly backwards. "I-I'm sorry for barging in. I didn't know--."
"Hermione--," Harry began, walking towards her.
"No, I'm really sorry," Hermione cut him off. "I was just patrolling and. I'm just sorry." She turned around and walked away.
Then the tears began to fall.
** Hermione rushed in her common room, closed the door quickly behind her and rested her back on it, her eyes closed, trying to stop the tears from continuing to fall. She couldn't believe what she just saw. Harry. Ginny. Kissing. She slid down until she was sitting on the floor her face buried in her hands. She had begun sobbing now. She couldn't take the hurt and pain. She knew that neither Harry nor Ginny had any idea what they did. because they didn't know.
"Granger?"
*Oh no.*
Draco kneeled down beside her. "Granger, what's wrong?"
Hermione wiped the tears from her face before looking up. "What do you want?" she asked almost menacingly.
Draco snickered. "Geez, Granger. I'm actually trying to sound concerned here."
"Well, I don't need your concern," she replied bitterly.
"Suit yourself," he said and stood up.
"Sure," she snapped, also standing up.
But the pain was too much for her to handle. She was weak. And as soon as she lifted her feet to walk, her knees gave way and she began to fall. But she didn't care much if she did. She just closed her eyes and waited to hit the ground.
But it never came.
Instead, she felt an arm wrap around her waist and that stopped her from falling. She opened her eyes slowly and saw gray eyes staring back at her. She felt unusually comforted.
"Fell for me, Granger?" Draco suddenly said.
This put Hermione back to reality. "What?" she asked feeling confused.
Draco leered. "What's happening to you?"
Hermione pushed Draco away. "None of your business, Malfoy!" She began to walk towards her room, but at the last minute she turned around. "And if you tell this to anyone, I'll--."
"You'll what?" Draco snapped.
"I'll hex you to death." With this, she went inside her room.
Hermione lay down on her bed, still in her school robes. She closed her eyes and sighed. She tried to stop herself from replaying the scene in the corridor. Harry's arms were around her and Ginny, the same. They were kissing so passionately. A sob escaped out of Hermione's mouth. She couldn't help it. She couldn't help herself.
*This is so stupid! Why am I even crying? It's not like I told Harry how I felt about him? He doesn't know a thing!*
She turned on her side, looked at the wall and cried her heart out.
** After crying the whole night, Hermione felt wholly refreshed of the pain, but also tired because of crying. She stared at the ceiling. She was now feeling angry at Harry, although she really had no right to. But still. He had led her on at times. and she felt for it. *Sheesh! How stupid am I?*
She sighed and continued staring at the ceiling.
*I wish I never loved him.*
*I wish I never loved at all.*
