HERMIONE
Professor McGonagall left me later,to settle down and have a good night's sleep.As if.
Even though my mind was made up,my heart strained with the thought of saying 'No',it was just too much for me to do,guilt also ravaged me,as I thought of the moment of folly in the air with Draco-it just was a pure mistake.
I wanted to forget everything,go back to London and relive my life,to forget about Hogwarts,and let it cease into disappearance...But as I wanted to go down to look for Elan and Greg,Greg came up instead,his face was flushed and he was carrying a sleeping Elan over his shoulder.
Greg smiled quickly at me,and gestured to the bed,where he gently placed Elan,letting my sweet son drift off to dreamland.After that,Greg turned around expectantly at me,and smiled his mega-watt smile,which aroused all my guilty feelings,I couldn't bear to keep it in,and before I knew it,I burst out in tears.
Greg was startled,and he hugged me tight,continous "What happened?" followed.I paused in midst of my tears to tell him about the folly.
"I really tried Greg,I'm so sorry." I stammered,finishing.Greg's eyes bore no resentment,his face bore no anger,and his words bore no malice.Instead of resentment and betrayal that I would have thought he would have against the mistake,Greg was rather calm and his face was sympathetic as he pulled me into a tight hug.
I was of course baffled by his actions and I pulled away."Greg?Aren't you the least bit angry?" I asked,slightly afriad of his answer...
Greg smiled again,his green eyes were gentle and caring,and he spoke."Not at all Hermione.Yes,I admit I was a little betrayed,but I understand what happened and I do not blame you.Not at all..I know its difficult to forget someone important and I didn't expect you to throw everything away just in a few days,and I was really pleased when you accepted me,truly,I really was.I knew it was going to be difficult for you to accept another man into your life.That was why I waited patiently.",Greg paused and looked into my eyes.
Then he continued,"But you did let me into your life.I most definitely did not expect us to have a relationship like you had with Malfoy.Don't worry Hermione,I'm not angry.I'm instead thankful that you told me." Greg summed up his words with a smile.
I was really touched...At that point,if my doubts about Greg were still there,for that one moment,they were dispelled.I had chosen the right man........
But a voice inside me asked,"Have you really chosen the right one?Who chose?Your heart or your mind?"
