Chapter 35

What was going on with my life? Everything happening from Ron, to Draco, to Voldemort to all the stress and drama in my life. How do I deal with all of this?

"Hermione?" Harry asked putting a hand on my shoulder.

I sighed and turned towards him.

"Yes, Harry?" I asked.

"Is something wrong? Well I mean there has to be something wrong, but what's the matter?" He asked taking a seat across from me.

I knew the answer well, very well. We were in a Library, that's where all of my thoughts and emotions come clear to me. It's whenever I read a book it might inspire with me or relate to how I'm feeling at the moment. Luckily, when those emotions relate and I start to cry no one can see me, one of the advantages of being Head Girl, comes with having your own part of the Library.

"I'm overwhelmed, Harry. With everything. The whole thing at Malfoy Manor, my feelings for Ron...and Draco." I said, muttering the last part.

Harry took my hand and squeezed it.

"It will be alright, 'Mione. Remember you have people who love you and care about you, all around you." He said nodding.

I tried to think about his advice and I just sighed. If people love me and care about me, why don't they really show it? Why can't they just come out and tell me? Ron was the exception though, but I loved him back.

"Thanks." I said simply.

Harry nodded. "Well I have to go, Ginny is waiting for me. We're having...some tea." He said blushing a little and walking off, out of the library.

I laughed and shook my head in disbelief. It was obvious that Ginny and Harry were going off for a date. I had an idea and walked out of the Library to the Head's dorm. I walked in and saw Ron, sleeping on the couch. I smiled and walked over to him, kneeling in front of him. Before I could say anything to wake up Ron that voice stung me, it made me cringe at the thought of who it was.

"Granger, may I speak to you?" Draco Malfoy asked coming out from the darkness.
