A/N: This is a story I made for a Harry Potter fan fiction challenge that
would be 500 words or less. It's sort of a love triangle between Hermione-
Draco-OC. It's angst, cause Draco wouldn't love the other because the one
he really loved was dead, and he couldn't replace anyone in the girl's
place. Review. :)
Let Go
By Cerulean Sapphire
"You don't know what it's like..."
"You just don't let me in your heart! Why don't you give it a try? I love—"
"You're never gonna be her!"
"Can't you stop comparing me to her? I'm different from her! She's dead!"
"Don't ever, ever tell me that!"

We always fought. We never came to the conclusion that we can never be the 'perfect couple' I wanted us to be...you, loving someone who's far away, and I, the one who's desperately in love with you. I thought that if we gave it a chance, our relationship would survive.
And so we gave it a chance. I had lots of fun, I must say. I loved every minute of it. I was like a princess in a fairy tale, with all my dreams coming true. But those were only my thoughts. They were never true.
I never realized before how far you are from me. Every time we'd go somewhere, you'd stare at a distance, never minding me...as if looking for someone. Your eyes were cold, and you never gaze into mine. You always find excuses for things that you did or didn't do, such as promising we'd go someplace I've been dying to go to but then never coming, or saying that we'd have dinner, but then saying you're busy.
Those were hints I just shook away. I knew I noticed something, but the thoughts of you loving me were washing those problems. I was scared of losing you, someone I thought I couldn't have, and yet I had. Or so I thought.
You were never mine. You never gave a part of you to me. I was only something of a used toy to replace the old one you loved so much. I wanted to make you happy; to let you know there's someone out there who can love you much more than she did.
She was your first love, wasn't she? She was a very pretty girl you always made fun of, yet at the same time you protected her from bullies. I knew that...you always talked about her when we fought. You always tell me that you never shouted at her, you never scolded her, you never wanted her out of your way...while me...you always wanted me out of your sight...you never set those gray eyes on me the way you used to with her.
And yet I was blind. I was so blind that the pain hurts me even more. I tried to stop these feelings, I did. But I couldn't. I love you...and the pain doubles whenever I hear you saying things she did that I never could.
I loved you. I still do. But I knew we'd never work out. I knew you have devoted your whole heart to her, and although she's gone, she's still the only one, the irreplaceable one in your heart.
I love you.
That's why I'm letting you go.

A/N: I know, I know. It's not that much good, but I wanted to post it. Confidence is something I didn't have that much, so I'm going to burst it all out here. :)
