Notes: I love watercourses. The last sentence, I didn't think of writing it from the beginning,. I love that song, and yeah, I think they both saved each other. They needed each other, Ron wasn't a leech that clung onto Hermione, they both were in need. Um, clear?
I scrub my face violently, but the filth and the pain don't go. I stare at my reflection on the creek, which is as deep as grief, and almost as dark.
Her reflection is etched on the water. Hermione is standing there.
'Are you planning on drowning?'
I'm considering it too, she silently says.
She shakes her head, more to herself, and kneels. Her arms are cold against my own moistened flesh. I find out that kissing her is the only thing that makes me forget, and remember. Remember Hermione, why I love her. My wonderwall, I'll be your man.
