Emotion prompt : Hurt
Characters: Hermione Granger
Summary: 'Why her?' she would wonder as she saw them together. Hermione's feelings during Ron's affair with Lavender.
Every morning, afternoon and evening, she would see them together, entwined in a violent display of affection anywhere they would be. She saw how they lunged at each other, how their lips molded together and seemed never to separate, and how they remained so oblivious to the ugly, disgusted looks sent their way by fellow students. He had never acted this way with her.
"Why her?" she would whisper inaudibly, unable to look away even as her heart shattered slowly, painfully.
They never seemed to care.
Every night, he would walk past her without even acknowledging her, tossing away all that friendship and the budding feelings that had been between them all through these years. Her eyes would beseech wordlessly.
He never seemed to care.
"Why me?" she couldn't help wonder to the empty air, and marvel her own loneliness and his heartlessness.
His silence never offered an answer.
Nor did the tears that soaked her pillow every night.
This was the shortest piece I've ever written, and I wanted to keep it this way. Hope you like it :)
