You're Not Alone
Hermione wasn't sure how long she'd been sat there but it was long enough for her to notice that it was starting to rain. She squinted up into the sky, that couldn't possibly be a good sign could it? She shuddered and got to her feet, as she walked blindly up to her dormitory she ignored everyone. As she passed through the common room she blanked out Ron, Harry and Ginny, she couldn't bare to speak to them, to see them, to hear them. As she ascended the stairs she could hear them running up behind her and she could feel the rage building up in her heart, she reached the door to the dormitory and slammed it shut behind her, uttering a strong locking spell as she did, one that none of her 'friends' would be able to destroy.
"Herm' let us in", she heard Harry call, rage took over and she lifted the china model Harry had bought her off her desk and hurtled it at the door, rejoicing as it shattered into a million different pieces, and with that she threw herself onto her bed and covered her head with the pillow so she would be unable to hear their calls.
After about 10 minutes the shouts stopped and silence filled the room, Hermione slowly stood up and stared at the door. Were they gone or were they just pretending so she would open the door and look?
"Hermione.....let me in", Ginny whispered suddenly, making Hermione jump. Then again she shouldn't be surprised, after all, she hadn't expected Ginny to leave her alone. Harry and Ron, yes, Ginny, no. She hesitated for a few seconds before releasing the spell on the door and letting Ginny into the room, her friend crossed the distance between them swiftly and wrapped her arms around Hermione.
"I thought you might have done something stupid", Ginny whispered, cuddling Hermione as if the world was going to end. Hermione returned the embrace half heartedly, she didn't know how to feel towards Ginny. After all, she had been there when Draco got hurt but whether she was involved or not was another matter.
"Why?", Hermione asked softly, at Ginny's confused look she explained, "Why did they hurt Draco?". Ginny looked at Hermione for a few seconds, studying her intensely before speaking,
"It's true then? You and Draco are friends", Hermione nodded and watched as the different emotions crossed across Ginny's face before she pulled Hermione in for another hug.
"I don't know", she whispered, "I don't know". Hermione suddenly crumbled and burst into a flood of tears, Ginny held her as her small body shook from the sobs.
"What if he dies Ginny?", Hermione sobbed, clinging onto Ginny like a lifeline. Ginny didn't know what to say, she just sat there, holding onto Hermione and silently praying that everything would turn out okay.
But then again, what are the chances of that happening?
