So, like all of my other fics, I am uploading the original prompt... and I have to say, this one-shot deviated quite a bit from the prompt. I'm not entirely sure what I was going for with the prompt, or what the story behind it was going to be.. I think I wrote this prompt after a difficult biology class. It was one of those 'I have no idea why, but I need to get it down on paper'. I'm glad I did, because I was thinking about it this weekend and the actual one-shot just went BAM!... So, without further ado, here you go!

Prompt
She hadn't meant for anyone to see, but her N.E.W.T.'s were wearing her down.
It's crazy how one mistake cost everything she had worked so hard to achieve. Everyone now saw what was behind her carefully constructed mask.
She forgot to put her glamour charms on one morning after she woke up late.
She was still tying her tie when she ran into her Charms class, one of her socks not even pulled up all of the way. The class had already started and Professor Flitwick frowned as every head turned.
Hermione forced a laugh.
'Everyone oversleeps every once in a while' she joked, trying to get all of the eyes off of her.
When they continued to stare she frowned and made her way to the seat Harry and Ron had saved for her.
It was when Harry wouldn't meet her eyes and Ron visibly grimaced when she realized something was wrong,
'What?' she asked, glancing around before looking down 'Is there something on my shir-'
She trailed off.
She saw what everyone was staring at.
Her scars were showing.
'oh'
She glanced up at Flitwick, who was frowning.
She heard a sharp laughter and whirled around to face Draco Malfoy, who smirked at her before lifting his feet up on an empty desk, quirking an eyebrow.
She ran.
Everyone knew.
She ran.
Tears ran down her face.
She ran.
No more hiding.
She ran.
She ran all the way to her dormitory, ignoring the worried protests of the Fat Lady.
Everyone knew.
She started to put on her charms, then stopped. It was no use. The whole school would know before lunch.
Fuck.
A/N 2.0: So... Pretty different from the fic huh? I've honestly been thinking about it.. Where did I think this was going to go? What was going to be the story behind it? Why Hermione? Then it hit me... Not Hermione, Lupin! Then I was like... MUST WRITE! And so.. yeah.
Let me know what you think :)
