All She Ever Needed

The Break-up

Flashback

"Hey, Hermione, I have something that I need to tell you," Draco said to her, a slightly guilty look on his face.

"What is it?" Hermione asked, a questioning look on her face as she snuggled closer to her boyfriend.

"Well, I don't really know how to say this…" Draco trailed off in mid-sentence.

"What is it? You know you can tell me anything, babe," Hermione was now becoming confused. Draco was never so unsure.

"Hermione, I've found someone else!" he said, half shouting.

"Draco, someone else as in..." Hermione felt as if she already knew the answer but she did not want to face it, did not want to believe that it was true.

Draco sighed deeply. "I knew that you weren't going to take it that well. Hermione, I'm really sorry, I have someone else whom I love more than you."

"I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly, Draco," Hermione said, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Oh, Hermione, I don't want to say it but you heard every single word right," Draco looked down, avoiding any form of eye contact with Hermione.

"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU," Hermione yelled, raising her hand and slapping him sharply on his left cheek.

Draco rose up, his cheek stinging from the impact. He glowered at her

"YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT I EVEN WAS WITH A FILTHY MUDBLOOD LIKE YOU, ALTHOUGH IT WAS TEMPORARY!" he hollered back, angered at her actions.

Hermione gasped sharply. He had not called her a mudblood since they had been together about a year ago.

Draco, stood there gaping for about a second as he realized what he had said.

"Hermione! I'm sorry! I really didn't think before I said that!" Draco tried desperately to make up for what he had said and leant over towards her, wanting to give her a kiss.

She pulled away from him, "No Draco, I think you meant exactly what you said," she replied in a cold voice which broke at the end of her sentence.

Her tears began to fall freely now and she fled from the room, trying desperately to hide her tears from curious onlookers.

Draco reached out his hand as she ran but not chasing after her.

"She'll come back to me, won't she?" he wondered and covered his face with his hands. "Great work, Draco," he said despondently to himself.

End flashback

Her legs had carried her over to the lake where she crumpled onto the ground beside it, not caring about the dirt surrounding her. She sobbed loudly, wondering why this had to happen as she gazed tearfully up at the bright moon.

"Hermione?" she heard an uncertain male voice call out.

"Go away, Draco," Hermione sniffed.

"Oh, Hermione, it's me, Harry."

"Yeah, whatever, go away, Harry."

"Come on, Hermione, I'm sure that you don't mean that right?"

"GET LOST, Harry. I don't want to talk to anybody."

Hermione heard him coming closer and rolled over to face him, the tears still running down her face, smudging the dirt. He crouched down next to her, his eyes filled with sympathy.

"Come on, Hermione. You can't stay here all night."

"YES, I CAN!" her voice rose to a shrill scream at the end and more tears ensued.

He placed his hand on her shoulder but she sat up quickly.

"JUST GO AWAY, HARRY. Just-just leave me alone," she said, crying much harder.

He wrapped his arms around her and she felt anger overcome her and she began to pound hard against his chest angrily, putting all her hurt and anger into it. Harry found it bearable for the first few seconds but it soon was beating the wind out of him.

"Hermione," he grabbed her wrists, he could not believe that she was acting like a toddler having a tantrum, "stop it, don't do this."

Her arms fell limp as she was overwhelmed by a wave of helplessness. She sighed deeply, her tears now dripping silently off her chin and onto Harry's shirt, mingled with bit of dirt.

"I swear, the moment I get my hand on Draco, he is going to wish he had never cheated on Hermione," he thought back to the conversation he had heard as he comforted her.
