Hermione stood up and left her room. She slammed the door and walked into her kitchen.

" What's wrong honey?" came the soothing voice of her mother

There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me


Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy


Too many times that I've held on when I needed to push away


Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid to say what I need to say

"Nothing" she lied sitting down at the table.

"An owl came for you earlier" her mother said handing her an envelope.

She took the letter cautiously.

It was from Harry. It basically told her to get over being a smart-ass and be nice to Ron. She huffed and tore the letter in half.

Too many things that you've said about me when I'm not around


You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down


But I've had too many stand offs with you it's about as much as I can stand


And I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine

She snatched up a pen and a piece of paper and stormed up stairs. She scrawled all kinds of abuse on the paper. Things she wouldn't dare say to anybodies face.

(One minute you're on top)


The next you're not watch it drop


(Making your heart stop)


Just before you hit the floor


(One minute you're on top)


Next you're not missed your shot


(Making you're heart stop)


You think you've won


(And then its all gone)

Hermione, furious, tied the letter to her owl's leg.

"Go to harry" she snapped.

The bird hooted knowingly. Hermione opened the window and let the bird fly off. She watched it until it was just a dot on the orange horizon. She furrowed her brow. Rubbing her temples, she lay on the bed staring at the roof.

So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies


So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside


So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long


All I know is that all I want is to feel like I'm not stepped on


There are so many things you say that make me feel you've crossed the line


What goes up will surely fall and I'm counting down the time

The owl returned with a reply note from Harry.

It read:

Hermione,

You have not right to use that language,

You shouldn't be so selfish,

All Ron did was ask you the answer to a question and you bit his head off,

He has the right to ask a question,

He is your friend, well he thought he was,

You hurt him,

You should apologise for being so self centred

I have to go,

I have better things to do than justify my beliefs to you

Harry

Hermione slammed her fist on her desk. She took out another piece of paper.

Harry,

I can't believe you would take his side!

You haven't given me a chance to defend myself

I'm not being selfish,

Ron always asks me for help and I never said 'no Ron I won't help you'

Then when I asked him to help me he always wanted something in return,

He is in his 7th year, I'm sure he is capable of doing something out of the pureness of his heart,

I have done everything you and Ron have asked me to do over the years,

I've almost been expelled helping you two,

I was turned into a cat to prove your innocence,

I'm sorry that you think I'm in the wrong,

But you Harry Potter are the most selfish human being in the world,

You think the world revolves around you,

Just because you survived some stupid thing that most people don't care about anymore,

Does not give you the right to call me selfish!!!!

And you are definitely not my mother so don't say what I can and cannot write to you

If you are going to take his side don't bother replying to this letter.

Hermione

(One minute you're on top)


The next you're not watch it drop


(Making your heart stop)


Just before you hit the floor


(One minute you're on top)


Next you're not missed your shot


(Making you're heart stop)


You think you've won


(And then its all gone


And then it's all gone)


(And then its all gone)


(And then it's all gone)


(Now it's all gone)

She tied the letter to the owls leg.

"Don't bother waiting for a reply" she told the owl sternly.

Again she watched it until it disappeared into to the, now dark, horizon. She sighed and sat on her bed.

I know I'll never trust a single thing you say


You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway


And all the lies have got you floating up above us all


But what goes up has got to fall

Hermione started at the pieces of glass on the floor, they seemed to shine underneath the dim glow of her lamplight. She went down stairs and got the dustpan and broom. She began to sweep up the glass on the floor. She slid them into the bin. The photo was still covered in shards of glass. She picked up a shard and slowly slid it across her palm. She winced and dropped the shard. She used her other hand to apply pressure to the self-inflicted wound. She walked quietly to the bathroom and washed out the wound.

(One minute you're on top)


The next you're not watch it drop


(Making your heart stop)


Just before you hit the floor


(One minute you're on top)


Next you're not missed your shot

(Making you're heart stop)


You think you've won


(And then its all gone)


(And then it's all gone)


(And then its all gone)


(And then it's all gone


(Now it's all gone)

"Its all your fault" She screamed.
