Hermione fell against a wall, tears streaming from her eyes. Her
gentle sobs were the only sound in the empty corridor, the soft light from
the torches reflecting in her eyes and casting shadows on her face. She
slid to the floor, pulling her knees to her chest and burying her face in
her hands. She replayed the scene over and over in her head, feeling it cut
into her each time.
She had been walking to dinner, and noticed one of the classroom doors was slightly ajar, nothing but darkness spilling from the crack. She was curious, and had went to close the door, when she noticed movement inside the dark room. She quietly opened the door, light from the hallway pouring into the room, putting a spotlight on the people inside. Draco Malfoy and Felicity Dawson had been there, Felicity laid out on one of the tables, Draco on top of her, kissing her passionately and reaching up her shirt. Hermione let out a gasp and froze, staring at them in shock. They had stopped kissing, and both stared at her, looking both scared and surprised. Finally, Draco spoke. "Granger!" Hermione ran out of the room, slamming the door behind her and running down the hallway.
Hermione wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up, smoothing out her skirt. She sniffed and began walking back down the hallway, towards the Great Hall. When she walked inside, she spotted Harry and Ron sitting at the Gryffindor table, talking over their dinner. She walked slowly over to them, taking her seat beside Harry. They both looked over at her, noticing her tear streaked face and red swollen eyes. "Are you alright there, Hermione?" Harry asked softly. Hermione nodded quickly, picking up her fork and poking at the food on the plate in front of her. Harry stared at her suspiciously and turned back to his food, giving Ron a quick see-what-I- mean glance.
Hermione glanced at the door, just as Felicity and Draco appeared in it. They were hand in hand, Felicity's shirt untucked and hair messed up. Knots tied in Hermione's stomach as she watched them walk towards the Slytherin table, taking their seats with their usual gang. New tears formed behind her eyes as dinner continued, her fork frozen in her hand, staring at them. Draco's nose brushed against Felicity's cheek as he whispered to her, slipping his arm around her and pulling her into a kiss. With each touch, smile, kiss : Hermione's world began to cave in.
Felicity's mind was wandering as she lay in bed that night, staring up at the canopy above her bed. She thought about that night, the night she gave up the only thing she had left to hold dear, the one thing that kept her dignity alive. But now it was gone- thrown out the window like it was something replaceable and unimportant. Why had she done it? Why had she given into his charm? Felicity felt her broken heart collapse, sending a stinging to her eyes as tears spilled from them. Marissa's face was in her mind- sending chills through her.
She remembered that night as if it was yesterday- the night she'd spent with her muggle cousin, Marissa. They were driving, out late, bottles of beer littering the floor of the car. In a drunken swerve, Marissa had run a red light and was blind sided by a truck, sending the car flipping and flying. Felicity remembered the shattering glass raining down on her, the sirens and the screams. She remembered a blurry slur of words, still playing in her mind. Her cousin's words: "Felicity!" That was the last thing she'd said before she fell limp on top of Felicity, blood dripping from a cut on her arm. Felicity blacked out then, the bright red lights flashing blurrily in her mind.
Marissa had been her best friend- her confidant, the one person she could tell anything in the world to. And ever since she died, Felicity had little to hold on to. Her parents were both dead- both killed by Death Eaters. She'd lived with Marissa and her aunt and uncle in the muggle world, spending each day with Marissa. Thinking of it all now made her insides churn. She thought about the exact second she'd become a woman- the exact moment, the feeling, the thoughts in her mind: What am I doing?
Felicity blinked away tears as she rolled over onto her side, letting her tears fall down onto her pillow. When she finally fell asleep, she had nightmares about the night of the accident, the sound of Marissa's voice screaming her name echoing over and over in her mind.

Draco sat by the lake, staring out at the hills that rose above it. He felt so content in that moment, yet he felt empty. He wanted so much for Felicity to be there to share it with him, to be in his arms as he watched the sun set, the rays of orange light glimmering off the surface. Behind him, he heard footsteps and whispering. Turning around, he saw Hermione Granger and Harry Potter walking together and sitting down by a tree.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Hermione asked Harry, folding her hands in her lap. "I've been worried about you, Hermione," Harry said, trying to ease into the subjest of his worries about Malfoy. "You aren't acting like yourself lately." Hermione's face went pale. "I-I didn't know you'd noticed." "It's not just your schoolwork. I've noticed other things, too." Hermione swallowed, and looked scared. "I've noticed the way you look at Malfoy. The way you're always saying mean things about that Felicity Dawson." He paused. "Is it because you are jealous of her?" Hermione sat, quietly looking down at the ground, twiddling her thumbs in her lap. "Hermione." "Maybe."
Draco's eyes got wide. Was Granger really crushing on him? "You mean that you like Malfoy?!" Hermione got tears in her eyes. "Yes, Harry, I do." Harry was speechless, his expression one of shock. "I do, I love him. I don't care if he calls me a mudblood, I don't care if he treats me like dirt, I don't care that he hates me from the depth of his soul- I love him, and I will always love him." Hermione got up, storming away, tears falling from her eyes. Harry sat, still silent, not knowing how to react. Draco waited until he left to emerge from his hiding place behind the rock. He followed Potter back into the castle, before taking off towards the Slytherin common room. He had to rid himself of the thought of Granger loving him, and he knew exactly how. He would find Felicity, hold her close and take her in, forgetting completely about everything else.
The memory of that night was still fresh in his mind, and he smiled to himself as he cooked up a plan to relive it. When he reached the common room, he whispered the password and went inside, looking around. Felicity was no where to be found, not sitting in her usual chair by the fire reading a book like usual. Draco began to worry, and began asking people if they had seen her. "Sorry," Crabbe said. "I haven't seen her all day." Draco knew of only one more place to look- the girls' dormitory. Even if the boys were not allowed up there, he was worried and had to find her.
So he climbed the stairs, despite the calls from fellow Slytherins not to, and walked into the girls' dormitory. He looked around, and spotted a bed with the curtans drawn closed, blocking out whoever was inside. He noticed a picture of him and Felicity smiling and waving back at him from the night table, and he knew it was Felicity's bed. He walked over to the bed, reaching for the curtain. "Felicity?" He said softly as he pulled it open. He pushed the curtain aside, revealing the horror that lay behind it.
