Title: Shattered Briar
Chapter 4: How it all began
Hermione sat in the Gryffindor common room thinking how best to break it to her friends that she loved Draco Malfoy. Rolling her eyes, she knew what their responses would be. Harry would scream and rail at her for being a stupid and blind girl infatuated with the ferret's looks. Ginny would rail at her for the same thing, then look at Harry and cry. Ron would probably lose his temper and get her admitted to St. Mungo's Psychiatric Ward for evaluation. She smiled at the picture.
Harry entered the room, stomping his feet. Glaring at anyone who got between him and his query, Hermione. Putting her book behind her, in case Harry had learned how to breathe fire, she placed her hands in her lap. She didn't ahve long to wait, before he began his nightly tirade due to one of three people: Ron, Ginny or Draco. Tonight, it was all three.
"'Mione, Ginny hates me. Ron thinks that I am somehow in love with you! Don't even get me started on Ferret-boy! They are all insane. Insane, I tell you. Worse that Umbridge crossed with Trelawney. And that's going some." He paced as he talked, pointing and yelling.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Harry, sit down."
"Are you taking sides?" His eyes were incredulous.
"I SAID, SIT DOWN! I MEANT IMMEDIATELY!" She shouted at her best friend, without taking a breath to warn him.
Harry was taken aback, not to mention Ron and Ginny. Hermione never yelled at them. What was going on?
"Now, as I was going to say. There is something I know about the three of you, and for the rest of this school as well. With this information I am about to part with, I expect merely that you listen, understand?" She eyed all three of her friends sternly.
When they had nodded, she continued. "For each of you, there is someone at this school that loves you with all of thier heart. And they exist waiting in the wings to take thier rightful place by your side, in your life. You may not understand that now, but know that this someone has always been there, right under your very nose. Trust me on this. Someone is there; you must merely look for them. Now, I am going for a walk. Good night." As she rose, she made the mistake that would cause her death by thier hands, she squeezed Harry's shoulder in comfort, and left.
Draco had seen this, from his hiding place under an invisibility cloak in the corner, and it filled him with rage. Potter had to die. Hermione was his. No one elses.
Ginny was filled with agonizing betrayal. Hermione wanted Harry, even knowning all her secrets, Hermione chose Harry over her. Potter and Ron are so much the same. Ginny walked over and slapped Harry and then punched her brother in the nose before disappearing up to the girl's dormitory.
Ron glared at Harry before issuing his threat. "See you in the Great Hall tomorrow, at Lunch. Potter, be forewarned, I intend to kill you!"
Harry was left with an aching jaw, sitting silently. "I hate them all!"
And this is how it all began.
