A/N - Hey peepz!!! This is my second fanfic ever and it's sort of like a songfic to Hilary Duff's song 'Why Not?'. I thought it would be a good idea because in the song, it says stuff about a person who is usually boring and always the same doing crazy things and taking chances and I thought that Hermione would be a good example of such a person. This first chapter is just the present [ after graduation ] and the chapters after this will be flashbacks.
DISCLAIMER – I do not own Harry
Potter or any of the other characters, they belong to JK Rowling. I also do not
own the song 'Why not?', that belongs to Hilary Duff. [ I will only to the disclaimer once in the story ].

Chapter One: Why?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Think you're going
nowhere
When you're walking down the street
Acting like you just don't care
When life could be so sweet
"Why you wanna be like that
As if there's nothing new
You're not fooling no one
You're not even fooling you
"So walk a little slower
And open up your eyes
Sometimes it's so hard to see
The good things passing by
"There may never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
When the time is right
"Why not (why not)
Take a crazy chance
Why not (why not)
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not
"Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Take a crazy chance
"You always dress in yellow
When you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
You keep waiting where you are
What you'll never know
Let's just get into your car
And go baby go
"Why not (why not)
Take a crazy chance
Why not (why not)
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not
"Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Take a crazy chance
"Oh
I could be the one for you
Oh, yeah
Maybe yes, maybe no
Oh
It could be the thing to do
What I'm saying is
You gotta let me know
"You'll never get to heaven
Or even to L.A
If you don't believe there's a way
"Why not
Take a star from the sky
Why not
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But why not
Why not
"Why not (why not)
Take a crazy chance
Why not (why not)
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not
"Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Take a crazy chance"
"And that was Hilary Duff's song, Why not?"
Hermione turned off the radio as the announcer started to introduce the new song. It was just too painful to think and hear the song that had changed her life.
And still to this day, she didn't why she had even bothered to listen to those lyrics. She had taken a chance, she had changed who she was because she believed that the future might hold better things than it did for her in the present. But what did she know then? She was just a teenager, who believed in everything from finding that perfect someone to love at first sight.
She buried her head into her pillow, unable to control the tears that cascaded down her face.
Why had I been so stupid???

A/N- What did you think? Confused? Well, this chapter was just sort of an introduction, it's after graduation and Hermione is currently wondering why she had been so stupid in 7th Year. I think you can guess what she did … and if you can't, then you'll have to read to find out [ lolz, I used that line in my other fic, Love is like Quicksand ]. Please review and tell me what you think!!!
