How Do You Miss Someone
By wiggie

Hermione's thoughts after she and harry talked through the phone.

How do you miss someone? Tell me, how does it feel?

I remember a time when I consciously know that I miss someone. My mother. She was always away, you see. Every time she was away, I remember taking her towel to my sleep. Her smell, that distinct smell that I will always know was her and no one else. And through that I feel her presence beside me, making me miss her even more.

How I wish I knew how it felt. Because now...now I'm void of it.

I can only tell that I miss someone when I see them after I left.

I feel so heartless and cold.

And now, it's different. I can't stop thinking about you. I can't get you out of my head. But I still don't feel anything...

If that's what missing really is about then I hate it. I wish there were more to it than just thinking...
