The next morning Hermione went downstairs and found something to eat before she left for her first day of public school. No words were said between Hermione and her father at breakfast. As she was packing her bag for classes she grabbed the letters from Ginny, Ron, and Harry and tucked them away in a small compartment in her bag in case she needed words of love and care during her first day at the High School across town. The school wasn't near as big as Hogwarts, and it wasn't as enchanting, but it was where she had to be. The first day of public school wasn't as bad as Hermione thought it was going to be. It was much like public school was before she went to Hogwarts. Whenever Hermione got home she lied down on her bed and did her homework and thought, she was in hell. The next two weeks were pretty much the same routine: shove the letters from Harry, Ron and Ginny into her bag, go to school, come home, lie on her bed and do homework. Sadness was overwhelming her as she slipped more and more into the darkness of her mind. She ate less and less hoping she would eventually starve to death.

Finally, after three weeks of her mundane routine, countless tears and never hearing from Dumbledore Hermione sat down at her desk and wrote her dad and Ginny letters. She decided an hour ago that she was going to kill herself. She pulled out two pieces of parchment and a quill and began to write…

Dad:

I can't stand living away from Hogwarts anymore. It is your fault I'm dead. I hate you for bringing me home. Hogwarts was my life, and you took my life away. I hate you for taking me away from Ginny. She is the only person I have ever loved and had love me in return. I wish that you could have seen this before I had to take my life. I can't stand living in such a horrible depression anymore. I can't stand living here with you.

Hermione

She folded the letter up and put it in an evelope, scribbled with the words DAD on it. Now she was on two her second letter, the hardest one to write.The second letter she wrote to Ginny. Then she wrote a letter to Ron and Harry, and finally Dumbeldore. After she was finished, Hermione took her stack of letters and placed them on her bed. Her mother and father were leaving at 7pm so no one will be home. Hermione waited until she heard the car doors slam, and the engine start before she went over and pulled a razor blade from her drawer. She sat down on her bed and slowly, but deeply ran the razor blade over each of her wrists in turn. Tears ran down her cheeks mingling with the blood on the floor. She pulled out a box and put the letters to her Hogwarts friends. She then walked over to the fireplace and threw some floo powder into it, placing the box into the green flames, she shouted "Ginny Weasley",The box vanished. The flames slowly died as Hermione sat in silence, waiting for the darkness to finally take over. The darkness she has been fighting for three long weeks. I love you Ginny, she whispers and falls to the floor, unmoving.

Ginny Weasley sat in the Gryffindor common room, nestled in a chair, crying to herself, she was lonely, and missed hermione. Suddenly, the flames turned a brillaint green, and a box fell out. Ginny walked over and picked up the old wooden box, and carefully opened it. Ginny gasped, It was a letter from Hermione. With excitement she opened it. The letter read:

Ginny:

I hate to tell you this, and I'm so sorry, but I will not be coming back to Hogwarts. By the time you receive this letter I will be dead. I can not stand being here anymore. I hate not being at Hogwarts and I hate not being with you. I don't want to live if I can't be with you. My life is not worth living if you are not here to live it with me. I'm so sorry. I love you Ginny, I wish we could have had more time to be together before my dad took me away. I wish that I would have told you how I felt about you sooner. I love you, I always will, forever.

Love,

Hermione

The other letters fall from her hands as she runs out of the common room to find Dumbeldore.

Authors Note: Just a little note I had some help from my girlfriend on the part where Hermione is committing suicide. I wasn't quite creative enough to come up with my own words for the whole committing suicide. Please don't freak out on me for killing Hermione yet…I have some good ideas of where to go with this. Give me a day or two to write the next chapter and come back to see what happens.
