Chapter 8

-Crash; That was you and me. Started out so innocently.-

The sun was setting outside, Hermione Granger was walking along the dirt path to her Herbology class. Ron hadn't been seen for a few days again and Harry well Hermione wasn't sure what was going on with Harry. He'd been ignoring her for the last few weeks and she had no idea why. Tears slid down her cheeks continuously everyday now. She and Harry had been going out for a month and a half now. Hermione was beginning to think now that she and Harry weren't a thing anymore.

-Shattered on the ground, I hear the sound Crash-

Hermione settled in her class and listened as Professor Sprout went into a lengthy discussion about one of her many plants that she was teaching about. Hermione however was unable to concentrate. Her tears blurred her vision and Harry was right next to her, but he did not acknowledge her. She quickly wiped the tears away and hoped that no one had seen them. She didn't think she could bare the embarassment of crying in class.

-I still feel the sting of my tears, someone wake me, I can't seem to break free-

She heard Harry begin talking to Pavarti and swiftly looked at him. Now he was acting single. What was going on? Hermione was extremely confused but not only that she was angry, so angry...hurt. "Harry!" She stated loudly.

"What?" He asked, looking at her.

"What's going on? Aren't you supposed to be my boyfriend?" She asked, her anger very visible. So visible in fact that Pavarti went to join Neville and Dean.

"Yeah so, aren't you supposed to be my girlfriend?" He asked, coughing. "Slut," With that he turned and followed the class to the school, leaving a dumbstruck Hermione.

-Go on Get out of my head! I'm on the wrong side of a parallel universe. Am I alive or just dead? I've been stumbling in the dark. Living in a crash world-

Hermione spent the rest of her day in her dormitory ripping every bit of paper that involved Harry that she could find. Pavarti had tried speaking with her as had Ginny but neither of them stayed for long, they feared Hermione's temper. Hermione would begin sobbing and then stop, Ron and Harry...they'd betrayed her. How could they? And why was she a slut? Hermione couldn't take any of it. She was sick of these rumors and she was sick of people believing them. She was sick of getting called to Professor McGonagall's office to ask if she truly was pregnant or not. She was sick of it all.

Tears rolling down her face she lay back on her bed, her hair spread out along with her hands. Sighing she let herself calm down slightly as she hiccuped what was left of her hysterical sobs. Why was this happening? Where was Ron? What was wrong with Harry? Had they broken up. Hermione decided they had and got up off her bed to let him know that.

Hermione walked into the Common Room to find Harry leaning against a wall. As soon as Pavarti saw Hermione walking up to Harry she left his side immediatly. Harry stood there rolling his eyes. Hermione stood face to face with him, her eyes attempting to bore his out.

"Yes?" He asked snidely.

"How am I a slut?" She asked, she was so angry she didn't know what to say.

"Why? How? God Hermione you're so stupid! Everyone knows about you sleeping with Ron and how you are only with me to get into my pants!" He yelled at her.

-Hush. Don't say one more word. At this point the truth seems absurd. Cause who we were is gone forever-

"Harry what are you TALKING about?" She yelled back. How could he actually believe that? "You said you loved me, why the hell do you believe that lie huh?" She threw at him.

"Because there's proof." He spat. Her eyes widened and her mouth went agape.

"Wh...what?" She asked, how could there be proof of something that never happened? Harry snorted.

"You don't even remember? That's pathetic. Yeah, Ron's been parading that footage around for quite sometime now. I'm surprised you didn't find out sooner, slut." He snapped.

"Well excuse me did we ever bother to find out if this "proof" was valid?" She retorted. "Don't go pointing any damn fingers at me Harry Potter, when you don't anything about any of it!" She yelled, before she started she got real close to him. "What that "proof" shows, yeah that was going to be yours. What Ron wants you were going to get. Sucks to be you doesn't it." With that she walked out of the room and into the darkened hallways of Hogwarts.

-Crash; Underneath the fears. Everything's so twisted and weird. Someone save me, I can't seem to break free.-

Harry stood there, mouth agape. Ron had lied, he knew it. Why did he believe it then? Harry wanted to go after her, he knew she wanted him to. But he knew that if he did it woiuld like he was interested in that one thing and only that. He shook his head, slamming his fist into the wall he walked out of the common room, unsure of where he was headed.

-Go on get out of my head. I'm on the wrong side of a parallel universe. Am I alive or just dead. I've been stumbling in the dark living in a crash world. Crash world...yeah yeah-

Hermione ran through Hogwarst quickly and silently as if she was running on air. She didn't know where she was going or what was going to happen all she knew was that she had to find Ron. To her surprise he was right in front of her, there at the lake. He stood there, teetering from side to side. Appearing at his side she wondered if he'd even notice she was there.

-Slow Motion, Devastation-

"Ron," She said strongly. He looked at her, his eyes wide. Was he drunk?

"What?" He asked, she couldn't smell anything.

-Should've seen it coming but I couldn't do nothing-

"How could you?" She asked, her voice strange to herself. He looked so different.

"The tape?" He asked. She nodded. "I don't know, I just did it...I lost you and I never got to..." She shook her head. Here he goes,she thought.

-Emotion, desperation. Someone save me I can't seem to break free-

"That doesn't fix the damage, I lost you for something you did. I lost Harry for something else you did. What do you want from me Ron?" She asked, blinking at him she nodded. "Fine," Walking away she didn't look back. She wasn't going forward. She was stuck.

-Go on get out of my head. I'm on the wrong side of a parallel universe. Am I alive or just dad. I've been stumbling in the dark.Living in a crash world-
