It was already two o'clock in the morning and still Hermione is awake. She was sitting by the window in their room staring blankly outside. It was very dark and silent...
She was so confused. Why am I feeling this way? She kept asking herself. Tears welled up in her eyes. That was it. She couldn't stand it anymore. The scene that she accidentally saw that morning kept bothering her. She felt so stupid. Suddenly, a fat tear fell down her cheek. Don't cry okay. Is there something to cry about? She continued saying to herself. But there's nothing she could do. Suddenly, tears started pouring down her cheeks and she started sobbing...
She can remember it clearly what happened.
She was on her way to her class that morning, walking briskly so that she won't be late. As she passed through one of the corridors, she caught the sight of Harry who's also on his way to his class, about a couple of blocks away from her. When she was about to call him, a familiar voice shouted Harry's name. She turned around and saw Cho running towards Harry's direction. She nearly bumped to Hermione as she made her way. When Cho reached Harry, She grabbed his neck and kissed him passionately.
Hermione was shocked and couldn't believe what she saw. She felt that her world suddenly fell upside down. Harry didn't even notice her and seeing them kiss made her stomach flip flop. She felt like throwing up but instead she ran towards the other direction with tears streaming down her cheeks...
Why did she kiss him? Are they together? No, it's impossible, but why? She asked herself over and over again. Tears were still pouring down her face.
"Hermione? You're still awake?", her roommate asked with a sleepy voice. Hermione quickly wiped away her tears. "Uh, I'm about to sleep. I just finished reading some books.", she answered with her voice trembling.
Ginny stood up, lit her lamp and stared at Hermione. "Have you been crying?", she asked quickly.
"Of course not!", Hermione exclaimed still holding her tears. She doesn't want Ginny to know that she's been crying for hours already.
"If you have a problem, you can tell me. I'll help you.", Ginny said sympathetically. "Is there something wrong? You were just here the whole day and didn't eat even bother to eat.", she added.
"I'm okay, don't worry.", Hermione answered. "Besides, there's nothing to worry about.", she continued. If only you know... She said to herself.
"Um,okay...", Ginny replied as she went back to bed. "Anyway, Have you heard th news?",
"The what?", Hermione asked as she slid into her blanket.
"Harry and Cho are finally together!", Ginny exclaimed giggling.
That was it. They're already together. Hermione thought. She wanted to scream but she can't. She was in pain. If only Harry knew how much I love him... She sighed. But there's nothing she could do.
"Hermione, did you hear what I just said? Are you still awake?", Ginny asked.
Hermione didn't answer back. She pretended to be asleep. As she closed her eyes, a fat tear rolled down her cheek again and without knowing it, she fell fast asleep.
