It has been two months since what happened, and two months since Ginny came after me and tried to help me forget. I don't think I could've made a better friend, she's been supportive and I love her for that.
When she told me she was dating Blaise Zabini, I was a bit shocked and was pained. Blaise is Draco's best friend and whenever we hang out, I always think of Draco. But Blaise has been a great friend, he makes me laugh and help me keep my mind busy. Ginny and Blaise became the only friends I had here. Since Ron and Harry decided not to come back, I thought I was alone. But, Blaise and Ginny helped me, and they have become part of my family.
I thought that everything was going to be alright. But, the pain never went away, in fact, it became worse everyday. When I realized that everything in life reminded of Draco, I decided to leave. To leave everything that has to do with him. That's how much he hurt me. But, I decided to wait until Graduation, and until then, I will plan to make sure everything goes right when I do.
There are nights when I lay awake and wonder if I'm doing the right thing. Draco has apologized many times, but I couldn't look at him. After a while, he sort of gave up when he realized I wasn't going to listen.
It's been three weeks since I have seen or talked to him. As much as it hurts, I just can't seem to face him. The image of that night still haunts me at night, and I decided that I had to leave.
The day after graduation
"Hermione you don't have to do this"
"I have to Gin, everything reminds me of him and I need to get away for a while. I need to keep my mind off of him. I still think about it you know, and it still hurts. Maybe even too much."
"I know it hurts Hermione, but you don't have to leave. Let people help you, you can't run away from this." I know Ginny was trying to help me, but I just had to leave. And I already made my mind about it.
"I'm sorry Gin, I'm going and that's final. But you have to promise me to not tell anyone, not even Blaise. Please promise me this Gin"
I could tell Ginny was deciding, and I was starting to get nervous that she wouldn't make the promise. But when I saw her features start to give in, I knew she was going to keep her promise.
"Thanks Gin!" And I gave her a huge hug to show my great appreciation towards her.
"But promise to write Hermione, I can't stand not seeing you for so long, but if this is what you want then I guess I'll support you."
"I promise Gin!" I was so glad that she gave in, I don't know what I would've done if she decided not to.
"I love you Hermione"
"I love you too Gin, bye" and those were my last words to my best friend before I apparated to my destination.
