7 Minutes of Sadness

12- Talking

--Library, Sunday--

*Pansy's Pov*

I ran into the library to see if Hermione was there. She usually was.

I ran in and looked around, I found her at a table near the back.

Pansy: HERMIONE!

Hermione: Pansy! Shhh!

Pansy: Im so sorry! But.. You need to find Potter.

Hermione: Why? Is something wrong?

Pansy: Yes! He heard Draco say he didn't like him..

Hermione: Oh, no.. Do you know where he went?

Pansy: No..

Hermione: Ugh, Pansy!

She ran off out of the library, I quickly followed.

--Corridor--

I finally caught up to her as she stopped to catch her breathe, as did I.

Pansy: He- Hermione.. Slow down...

Hermione: W-we have to fi-find him!

Pansy: Check outside.. maybe....

Hermione: Good idea..

She ran outside and I continued searching inside.

--Lake--

*Hermione's Pov*

I ran up to lake at leaned on a tree. I was exhausted from running so much.

I stopped and heard crying..

I looked up and saw Harry, sitting by the lake.. Sobbing...

Hermione: H-harry?

*Harry's Pov*

I ran all the way to the lake...

I collapsed onto the ground and burst into tears..

I couldn't take it... I always knew he didn't like me, but hearing him say it...

It was just too much..

...

Hermione: H-harry?

I shot my head up and stared at Hermione.

Harry: O-oh! He-hey Mione! Wh-whats up?

She immediately ran up and hugged me as tight as she could.

Hermione: Im sorry Harry! It must've felt awful hearing him say that..

Did she... know? Who told her?

Harry: Wh-what?

I pulled back.

Hermione: Pansy told me she saw you running away after Malfoy said.. Well, you know..

...

Hermione: Im really sorry... If you need to talk, or just cry. Im here.

...

Hermione: Harry?

Harry: Its okay Mione.. I knew he didn't...

Hermione: Well, it still has to hurt...

Hermione: ... Its going to be okay ... I promise ...

Harry: ...... Yeah ...... It will ......

Hermione: .. Why dont we get you to bed, hun?
