Hermione had weaved her way through the crowd, head kept low so people wouldn’t see the tears in her eyes, the last thing she needed was questions.
Emerging out into the grounds, Hermione stumbled on her heel, cursing the black strapy sandals that she’d been advised matched
the dress she’d been told looked so nice. Now she felt foolish, like the mask she’d placed over her face was slipping down and she was being revealed.
Balancing against the wall she cursed as she noticed the buckle had broken. Pulling the shoes off Hermione sighed, this was the second time she was leaving Hogwarts upset and feeling more alone than ever.
Hermione had to pause, everything was just too hard.
Sitting down on the step she settled her head in her hands. This whole night had been a disaster, from Remus to whatever had just happened with Harry.
What on earth had possessed her? Life had been easier isolated at home, that’s for sure.
