PROLOGUE
*

* Hi Hermione!

Thank you so much for your letter. I am deeply flattered and I can't thank you enough. Though I just can't say I feel the same way. I apologize, and I will always be sorry, because I know, better than most people what a wonderful person you are. I know that you are great and deserve the best, I just don't think that we are suited for one another. I just think of you as a friend. I'm sure you can understand that. I don't want this to affect our friendship. Promise me it won't ok. I love you, and you mean so much to me. I miss you a lot, really even though we've only been apart a week. I look forward to seeing you soon. Ron's picking you up tomorrow afternoon right? Well probably today when you get this.

Bye Sincerely Harry

Hermione dropped the letter in disgust. She didn't understand why he had to respond that way. She knew how he felt about her. She said in her letter that she did. She just wanted him to acknowledge that he had received the letter. She didn't need the rest of that crap. Yet she had to smile. This was Harry. It didn't matter what he said as long as he said something. He could tell her she was a bat with now wings and she would still love it. This letter was his thoughts, in his words. She loved him for it anyway.

A.N. I apologize for this being short, but that is my prologue. I am a not a new author, though I am new to this side of things. I mean having Hermione as a character. I intend on it being R, though I have never written and R fic before, so if it isn't please tell me and I will either change the rating or make it R. I don't really want to tell you where I intend to go with this, just that Snape will be the other main character. There is a chance she will end up with him, so I should warn you. There will also be a Harry- Hermione issue, so please read on. I won't tell you with whom she will end up though!
