The Inevitable

Thoughts of that night's events swirled in Hermione's already exhausted mind. In one night she had chosen between two amazing men, lost her virginity to one, only to find out that he was her best friend's 40-year-old godfather!

'Merlin! Muggles have it so easy! They never have to worry about magic, time, dark lords, sleeping with the godfather of the famous boy-who-lived. Bloody Hell! Why me? Merlin! Why me? I was always so sensible and rational, why is my life so bloody complicated!'

She was brought out of her reverie by a mumbling on the other side of the room.

'Oh! Poor Harry... this has to be so hard on him.'

She wandered over to Harry's bedside and gently placed her hand on his back. He jumped at the gesture, but softened when he saw who it was. He shifted over to allow her a seat next to him.

"Why, Hermione? Can you just tell me, why it is always me."

"It's going to be okay, Harry."

"NO! It BLOODY well will not be OKAY! Voldemort is getting stronger by the day. I'm having even more horrible nightmares than usual where I have to watch my loved ones die nightly while I can't do a thing! Now, someone who I thought I had lost forever wanders back into my life, but has no idea what he means to me, and I can't let him know. I can't tell him anything about me, or how he is going to spend 14 years in Azkaban because his rat of a friend betrayed him leading to the death of my parents—his best friends! I can't tell him anything! AND... to top it all off, Ron has gone bloody PHYSCHO! He hates me, he hates you, but for some reason unbeknownst to me... HE LOVES PANSY!"

"PANSY?" Hermione interrupted.

Harry only nodded.

"Let me get this straight. Our Ron loves that pug-faced Slytherin slut?"

Harry lowered his head.

"Merlin, that is weird!"

She sighed deeply at the hopeless look she received from her best friend.

"Listen to me Harry. The situation may be a little bit complicated, but be glad that you have Sirius back...even if it is only for a little bit. We can't help what the world throws at us, but we can make the best of it."

He paused dramatically and Hermione started to prepare for another blow up, but he replied quietly, " Do you always know everything?"

Hermione laughed happily knowing that he was calming down, "I try, Harry, I try."

"God, Hermione, here I am worrying about my own problems... and you're bloody dating him... you must be so confused."

Her predicament came whirling back into view. "Well, it's my fault getting involved with him in the first place. I knew all along that he was from the future...and that was reason enough to stay away. I didn't listen to reason, and now I have to deal with the consequences."

"What are you going to do herms?"

"You know what I have to do...it was inevitable anyway."

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

A god with gorgeous black hair and piercing gray eyes peeked his head into the room.

"May I come in?" He asked gently.

"Let me come to you" Hermione replied, "I need some fresh air"

Harry threw her an encouraging smile as she left the hospital wing with his godfather.

They made it out to the lake in complete silence. He watched intently not knowing whether he should ask what had caused her spell last night. After five minutes of silence, he finally opened his mouth to speak, but she cut him off.

"—Listen S-Kyle. I had a great time last night, and I, uh, really do lo—care for you alot, but I ... I can't be with you anymore."

His eyes widened in surprise and he tried to speak again, but she hushed him with a finger on his lips.

"I'm so sorry, but I can't offer you an explanation... just know that I had no choice... this is the only way."

Tears began to trail from her sorrowful chocolate brown eyes, as she removed her finger and kissed him softly before she ran away.

As she ran, two sets of eyes were following her. A gray pair looked on with sadness and hurt, and a silver pair saw the opening he'd been waiting for.

Kyle slumped onto the ground near the lake in total shock, while Draco Malfoy took off in search of the girl he loved.

A/N: Hey guys! I know that was short, but my computer was messing up and I have to go to bball practice...it was all I could do today! But still review and don't forget to read my other story!
