"Where have you been, Mione?" Ron asked.
"Yea we were getting worried," Harry explained.
"I'm fine I was just running late."
"You? Running late? Queen of being on time?" Ron questioned.
"Honestly, Ronald. Humans are allowed to make mistakes."
"Come on, Mione, you don't..." Ron started to say before Hermione interrupted him.
"Drop it, Ronald!"
Harry and Ron looked at each other and then back at Hermione. They wanted to ask her what was wrong but thought best to leave it alone. The whole ride to Hogwarts was very quiet. There were a million things Hermione wanted to say. She wanted to scream at Harry and Ron. She wanted to hex and curse them for making her not feel confident in herself. All she ever got from them is "Mione, you look like a porcupine" or "Mione, tame the wild beast." She just scoured at them and all they could do was try to figure out why she was death staring them. Maybe Cedric was telling the truth maybe he wasn't. Why couldn't she trust in anyone when they say something. Thats probably because the two bumbling blockheads in front of her. She loved her friends but she could NOT tell them how she felt. They just would not have understood.
Then out of nowhere. Her emotions got the best of her. The tears just kept falling and didn't want to stop. Why was she crying like this? Especially in front of Harry and Ron.
"Mione...?" Harry and ron had both said.
By then the train had stopped. Thankfully again. Sometimes she was lucky. She grabbed her books and ran off the train before they could even ask her what was wrong? Why was Cedric's comment affecting her so much? She had never let anyone get to her like Cedric did. She didn't even know if Cedric even meant to be rude. Maybe she was over analyzing the whole thing. But then again what if she wasn't? Why did being a girl have to be so complicated. Guys just like girls. Thats it period! Girls had to exaggerate things. And make more out of what the situation was. 'Well thats just the way we are,' she thought.
She tried to talk herself out of crying but couldn't the tears just kept falling. She ran past what looked like a group of hufflepuffs and almost knocked them over. One of the people in that group was Cedric. He saw Hermione running for the black lake. What was she crying for? All he knew was that he did not want to see her this way. He ran after her and found that she was sitting by the edge of the lake.
"Hermione... y-you ok?" Cedric asked standing over her.
She quickly rubbed her eyes, "I..I'm fine. Dust in my eye is all."
He sat down beside her, "Come on, Hermione. Whats really wrong?"
"I barely know you. Why would I confide in you? No offense."
"Just trust me."
