AN: This chapter is set to Star Witness by Neko Case in my playlist.
Harry,
They say you first feel shock. And then denial. But I don't know if that's right. Can you believe it? The great Hermione Granger, bookworm extraordinaire, doesn't believe her books?
But I don't.
They say I should feel something.
But I don't.
I don't think shock is supposed to last this long. It's been two weeks.
Two.
Can you believe it? I can't. It's like I've been removed. Like I'm not a part of this anymore, either. I feel like I'm watching something from a long way away. And though I can hear it, it's muted. And I can understand, but it doesn't resonate. Like it's a dream…
But this is no dream. I wish it were.
I miss you, Harry. I miss you.
My Love Always,
Hermione
