Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER.
All different kinds of emotions drifted through Hogwart's corridors like ghosts. There were the love, the sorrow, the pain, the anger, the betrayal. And all Hermione wanted to do was block all of them from getting into her heart. They literally ate away at her, leaving her crushed.
She still lay in her bed, and she was giving very dry sobs. She had cried ever since Harry had left, because she hadn't wanted him to see her cry when he was there. She was trying to be strong for him, knowing that he couldn't take up the responsibility of being the brave one all the time.
Hermione rolled over and pressed her moist face up against her pillow. It was getting darker outside.
How at this minute, she longed to feel his soft dark hair pressed up against her cheek. Or how she longed to gaze into his sparkling green eyes. Or even how she died to be embraced in his strong, loving arms. The one place she felt totally and completely safe.
The crickets began chirping outside softly. Hermione listened for a while, no longer bathed in light, but drowned in darkness.
Why was everything so hard right now? Bridgett and Oliver were dead, Fred and Ron were in mortal danger, and she knew Harry was having the hardest time of them all.
She began to cry for him, now. Every tear drop represented his screaming sorrow. Hermione so wanted to just make everything all right for Harry, to make all his pain melt away. She wanted it all to be all perfect again. She thought back to how everything had momentarily been all right again, when she was with harry a few days ago.
Flashback
Harry let go of her hand, and scooped up a smooth, flat stone. He skipped it across the water. Hermione watched as it finally stopped skipping, and sank. The ripples made their way to Hermione and Harry's feet. When they finally touched Hermione's foot, she spoke up again, empowered and feeling braver after seeing how beautifully the ripples made this moment.
"Harry, you are..all I think about." Harry looked up, and their eyes locked for a precious minute.
Hermione swallowed. Harry stared at her, then turned his gaze towards the water, where the ducks that Hermione had been watching before, were making their way over to the two friends.
"Does that scare you?" Hermione asked, her voice slightly shaking. Harry had still not said anything. The ducks drifted over, as if skating across rippling glass. Suddenly, without a warning or sign, Harry grabbed Hermione's face in his hands, and pressed his lips to her's. Hermione was caught by surprise, and her pulse quickened.
Soon, she began to kiss him back just as passionately, and nothing else mattered anymore. She didn't think about anyone dying, or how everyone was depressed, or how the rain was now falling harder. The world stood still. And for that precious, majestic moment, everything was perfect again.
Flashback Over
She lay there a while longer, her sobbing eventually getting drowned out by the ever growing cricket lullaby.
