Sorry it has taken me so long. I wanted to finish the new book. Which I LOVED!!!!!!! So many tears shed. I won't spoil if any of you, for some odd reason, have not finished it yet.
"Oh, no. I have to send every class with Ron today. How am I going to do this? I'm just going to sit in the back today. Not getting called on for answers will help me not look at him and start crying," Hermionethought to herself as she headed to the seat in the back of the room where she had never sat before. Harry looked at her, confused for a minute, and then decided that maybe she was having one of her "days" and went to sit with Ron and Lavender.
Welcome to My Life
"I want to die right now. Why today? Tomorrow I only have one class with him. Why couldn't it be tomorrow? I only see him and Lavender once tomorrow." Harry was looking at Hermione like she was crazy. She was sitting in the back of the room for the first time ever, after all.
"OK, class. Today we are going to review some spells that we have been working on in past years. Mr. Potter….What is the……"
Hermione, along with all students who were not currently under the were all either resting their heads or working on homework for other classes.
"At least I don't have to talk today. McGonagall won't call on me unless I raise my hand and no one else knows. That is one good thing about being smart and wanting that fact to be known. I never have to look up from my book." Hermione didn't notice that she had inadvertently written all of her thoughts down. She also did not realize that she had put her now diary, and not her homework journal, in her bag. "Oh crap. I wrote all of that down. Wait this is my diary. Well, that was lucky." Hermione felt like screaming. She could barely stand it. She had just looked up to see Ron and Harry staring at her.
"Miss. Granger, please tell me what is supposed to happen in a Amblomortus curse?"
"The feet and legs of the person receiving the curse are bonded into one entity."
"Very good, Granger. Five points for Gryffindor. Now, Mr. Finnigin……"
Hermione drifted off again. This time being more careful to pay attention just in case her name was called again. During the hour left in class, it wasn't, and Hermione had finished all of her homework for History of Magic for the next week. Forty points had been accumulated for Gryffindor and thirty-five for Slytherin. While the rest of the Gryffindors were celebrating the fact that they answered more questions that were deemed ones worthy of obtaining points for answering, correctly. Hermione, wishing not to join there silly game, left silently, and returned to the library where she located the chair that she had been sitting in earlier that day. Just as she was getting comfortable, she heard the radio.
That was Cast A Spell On Me, by the Weird Sisters. And now I want to treat you to my personal muggle favorite, Welcome To My Life, by Simple Plan.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Stay tuned it for more music after a few messages from our sponsors.
"This is my new favorite spot. I hope that nothing ruins it. The radio always seems to play music that I really need to hear. Ah…. It is nice. Relaxing even." Hermione thought as she closed her eyes and tried to forget Ron and all her troubles.
"I always hate waking her," Ron whispered to himself, unaware that Hermione was fully awake. "Oi, Hermione! Get up and come to lunch!"
"Ronald, it is not polite to wake someone so crudely," Hermione retaliated, knowing fully that Ron believed her to be asleep only seconds earlier.
"Sorry. Can we go? Ginny was telling me that if I didn't make sure you ate, that I probably would not have someone to help me with homework for much longer."
"Wow! I feel so cared for!" Hermione said sarcastically. Clearly Ron had picked up Hermione's sour attitude.
"Look, I don't know why you are so angry at me, but I'm sorry for whatever I did. What can I do to help?" Ron looked sincerely like he wanted to make Hermione feel better.
"Break it off with Lavender!!!! Nothing, Ron, you didn't do anything wrong. Who are you kidding?? Don't worry about it," Hermione's inner conflict was not revealed to Ron by her face, but he looked as though he didn't believe her, and they didn't talk the whole way to the Great Hall. As the pair entered, Lavender ran to Ron and grabbed his arm possessively, while pulling him over to where she had saved a seat for him. Hermione tried not to sneer too much at Lavender, and sat down across from Ginny and Dean, next to Harry. She couldn't help but notice that Harry was constantly looking over his shoulder to send a smile towards Cho, whom he had begum dating again. After several tries at real conversation, and learning that the effort was futile, Hermione swiftly finished her food, and left the Great Hall only fifteen minutes after she had entered.
"Hermione, what's wrong?" said a truly concerned Ginny, who had finally gotten Dean to let her go to comfort her friend, however this was under a threat of a break.
"Nothings wrong, Ginny. I just really want to read, and I left my book in the common room," Hermione prayed that this would work.
"OK. If you are sure nothing is wrong. You can come to talk to me anytime if you need to talk."
"Thanks for caring, Ginny."
"It's my job," Ginny said, smiling. Hermione was glad that she had one friend who was still looking out for her.
So, I'm having loads of fun adding a song to like, every chapter. It is supposed to help you know how Hermione is feeling and define the chapter a little bit. She is going to spend a lot of time in that chair in the library. R&R.
