Chapter four of my tears are turning into time

Thanks to all for the reviews. This was my first fic, and I'm amazed I even got one!

"No, but put the pieces together. It asks Hermione to think this over, and who did Hermione just break up with? Who is passionate about nothing but her?" Ginny said.

"Draco." They both said at the same time.

Everything was just falling out of place. The love of his life dumped him, Potter was being an ass, Crabbe and Goyle were annoying freaks now, and he had to avoid Pansy everywhere he went. Draco muttered in disgust. He was ready to kill as he entered his dorm. He grabbed a piece of paper, let the tears flow(no one else was there anyway), he forgot all about his father, and began to write something down.

Hermione sat in the common room, alone. Her friends were being asses, she had stupidly dumped Draco, and no one wanted to talk to her. She had done her homework, but it had taken her longer than usual. She had sat up on her dorm bed, trying to write her Astronomy essay on Venus, which she had known so much about. It took her 2 hours to write, because her mind kept slipping back to Draco. Oh Draco, his face, those silver blue eyes….how I miss him. Hermione thought, but then shook her head. She had to stop thinking about him. She decided it best be getting to bed. She could already feel that it was going to be a long day. And indeed, it was.
"Now today class, your going to be changing cats into soap. Please repeat the incantation after me. Gilia Sopera." Professor McGonagall said.

"Gilia Sopera."

"Good. Now you are to make a circular notion clockwise with your wand, tap the cat 4 times, and then make a circular motion again. Then you say the incantation. I will demonstrate it once." Professor McGonagall said, and she did. The cat meowed and then turned into a blue bar of soap. Some people laughed. "You have the rest of the class to try the incantation, and your homework will be to write a foot long essay on when the incantation was first discovered, due Friday, (today is Wednesday). That will be all."

Hermione tried it. Her cat meowed and turned into a fancy pink bar of soap. She raised her hand, and showed McGonagall.

"Excellent Ms. Granger. 5 points to Gryffindor." The Ravenclaw's groaned in the back.

About 20 minutes later, the period ended. "That is all for today class, you are dismissed."

Hermione was so glad that that was her last class. In Potions, which they had double of with the Slytherin's, they had to take a bloody pop quiz, which even Hermione thought was difficult. Astronomy dragged, Charms, well Professor Flitwick's lecture was rather boring, as he had to spend twenty minutes on the subject of how wands could be broken….and everything else Hermione just thought could have been a lot easier, and a lot less boring.

She sat in the Great Hall, working on her essay, when Ron and Harry slid in the seats across from her.

"Mione, look, we're sorry for being idiots to you about Malfoy." Ron said.

"Yeah, it was really stupid of us. It's not our decision on who you like, it's just well you know, we really don't like Malfoy, but we're okay if you see him." Harry added in.

Hermione was so happy, she jumped up and hugged them both, and then sat back down. Harry and Ron sat there grins, on their faces.

"So now that you talking to us again, what's up?" Ron asked.

"Not much, you know I dumped Malfoy, umm trying to work on homework, the usual." She answered, scribbling the last of her essay down.

"I've got to go get ready for quidditch practice though, otherwise I'd stay." Harry said after a moment and left Ron and Hermione there.

"So what's up with you and him?" Ron asked.

Hermione put the last of her finished homework into her bag. "Nothing. I guess he was hurt in a way though because I went out with Malfoy. I don't know." Hermione said after a break of silence.

"He has seemed all weirded out lately though. He was a mess at quidditch two days ago, according to Ginny who was subbing for a chaser who got hurt. He doesn't talk much, and all he's been doing lately is moping." Ron said.

"Yeah. If only he could talk to-" Hermione bit her lip. She couldn't bear to mention the name.

"Sirius. I know. It's hard to see him in a mess like this." Ron said in hushed tones.

"I saw him looking at me the other day though. Very odd look on his face, like he was possessed or something." Hermione said.

Seamus was now sitting next to Ron, he had just apparently joined into the conversation.

"You mean that look that you use on Lavender, Ron?" Ron blushed a deep magenta, and Hermione and Seamus couldn't help but snicker.

"Yeah that's the one." Ron actually answered.

"And Flitwick wonders why you're failing…" Seamus said, and now Hermione broke out into laughter.

Harry was in the library the next day, looking up some information for the essay McGonagall hag assigned. He eventually found a book with some information, and he went over to a table in the corner and opened it. That's when he heard her. "Harry?" Ginny asked softly.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know anything about this?" Ginny asked, and gave him a folded piece of parchment.

Harry opened it, and read.

My days are short, my nights are long.

It seems like a lifetime since you've been gone.

My mind never leaves the thought of you alone.

I wish you were here, my only one.

I'd travel the world, the galaxy, far

For you,

My only star.

Though I cannot have you,

Your laugh, your touch, your kisses too…

I miss you so badly, if only you knew.

Hermione-please say you'll think this over.

"Gin, do you recognize this handwriting?" Harry asked.

"No, but put the pieces together. It asks Hermione to think this over, and who did Hermione just break up with? Who is passionate about nothing but her?" Ginny said.

"Draco." They both said at the same time.

Sorry to end the chapter here!
