Life After Hogwarts: Hermione's story
Summary: Ron and Hermione were going out, but then Ron drops Hermione for Lavender Brown. Hermione hates it.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. They all belong to J.K. Rowling. It might turn out to be longer than originally planned. I own only Amanda.

Hermione Granger pulled herself out of bed. She hated getting up these days. There didn't seem any point of anything for Hermione lately. Nothing seemed to matter. Not even work. Everything was pointless. Nothing had meaning.
She hated everything. All she could think about was Ron. She had tried so hard to forget him, and that horrible day. Nothing worked. Everything had been perfect. Ron had finally begun noticing her. Then he asked her on a date. A simple, harmless date. Everything skyrocketed from there. It was wonderful. Hermione became Ron's girl. She was his girl.
But then, Lavender started getting prettier, and more persistent to get Ron's attention. She had started wearing more make-up, and playing Wizard's Chess, and even offering to help Ron in Divination, since Hermione couldn't because she wasn't in that class. Why did Lavender like the same boy Hermione did? Hermione had been no match for the pretty Lavender Brown.
After about two weeks with Lavender's new look and attitude, Ron dumped Hermione, and turned around and asked Lavender to go out with him. And, as usual, Harry took Ron's side. He said that Hermione and Ron just weren't meant to be. Hermione was devastated. Lavender got what she wanted. Ron was happy.
Ginny had told Hermione to get over Ron.
"Ron is a stupid git for dropping you, Hermione." Ginny had said. "Complete idiot, seeing how he dropped you for Lavender Brown." Ginny had shook her head right there.
"But Ginny, I loved him." Hermione had said miserably. "And I thought he loved me, too. I guess that's what I get for thinking."
"Oh, Hermione. It was Ron's mistake, and one day, he'll realize that, and he'll come running back for you." Ginny said comfortingly.
"But what did I do wrong?" Hermione broke down into tears, and was pulled into a sisterly embrace by Ginny. "What did I do wrong?"

"What did I do wrong?" Hermione mumbled to herself as she got dressed and ready for work. She worked at the Ministry Of Magic. She was Head of Department. She delivered things to people. Animals, furniture, pens, parchment, you name it she delivered it.
In fact, she was the only one in her department, besides her secretary, Amanda. Amanda loved to give Hermione paper work. It was so annoying the way Amanda always had some kind of paper work for Hermione to do. It never failed. She always had something for her to sign, or something she needed to get done before a certain deadline.
Sometimes it was a good thing that Hermione always had something to do to keep her busy. Then, she wouldn't have to think about Ron, or Harry. She had left her Hogwarts life behind her. She would have never guessed that she would become so detached from her best friends, but it had happened. In fact, she hadn't spoken a word to them since somewhere in the middle of the seventh year. She didn't even write them letters.
She hadn't even told them that she had moved out of her parent's house, or that she had moved out into a house way out into the country, in Westbury, England. Or, that she had gotten an owl, that she named Dashley. Or that she was still in love with S.P.E.W. She even had at least twenty or more little house elves running around in her back yard that were learning to think for themselves, and almost never cleaned up a mess unless they were asked nicely.
Yes, Hermione certainly had changed since the day Ron dropped her for Lavender Brown. **********************************************************
Me: So, what do you think? I was going to make this a songfic, but I decided not to, and make it into a story. Well, I think it's going well for the time, do you? Also, what do you think about Hermione? She's kind of a loner, but that could change. Stay tuned to Life After Hogwarts: Hermione's story, for more chapters. Please don't get upset if I can't update soon. I am writing another fic with Ginny and Draco, and I'm reading at least ten books right now. So, please be patient with me. Thanks. =)
