Gemini Myths POV

The twins didn't leave until late last night, we sat in my dorm all night catching up and joking around. Now it was early morning and classes started in about two hours.

I have no idea why I woke up so early but I'm a bit upset about it. I crawled out of bed and quickly threw on my robes.

If I was going to be up I mine as well go smell the fresh air or some shit.

I left my dorm and headed towards the corridors, not really stopping to talk to anyone as it was seven in the morning and if you know me by now you know I will kill someone this early in the morning.

I pushed past the portrait and made my way towards the great hall to grab a muffin as I did some homework, I was going to sit outside but as I passed a huge window I completely forgot it was snowing out.

The great hall was basically empty, a few people from each house but no one I hung out with.

Thank god.

I sat down at my table and pulled out some homework from my fathers class, the peace and quiet was nice until about ten minutes in, Hermione sat down next to me.

"Can I ask you a question gem?" She asked quietly as she fumbled with her fingernails and hid her face with her curly hair.

"Uh, yeah sure." I said suspiciously as I closed the dark arts book.

She sniffled quietly and that's when I realized why she was hiding her face, she's crying.

"What's wrong 'mione?" I asked as I fully gave her my attention now.

She nodded her head towards the end of the Gryffindor table, I followed her eyes to see Lavender Brown and Ron locking lips.

"What? Since when?" I asked confused, he's never mentioned liking Lavender. We all know he's head over heels for Hermione.

Hermione wiped her nose with her sleeve and dropped her shoulders. "Since last night."

I sighed quietly as I gave her a small hug.

"Want me to beat him up for you?" I whispered.

She quietly laughed as she shook her head.

"I hate him." She mumbled as more tears fell.

I sighed quietly as I hugged her tighter. She doesn't hate him, she never could.

"How did you deal with Astoria when you and Draco were broken up?" She asked as I let go of our hug.

I laughed at her question. "We all know how I dealt, I almost killed the girl."

"No, I mean in private. Did you cry or want to throw up, you know normal anxiety things?" She asked as she wiped her eyes and finally looked at me.

I shook my head. "No, I mean kind of. When I saw them together before I turned I wanted to die, my heart was shattered, but then I turned within two minutes...then I just wanted revenge but not because I was jealous but because I wanted them both to feel how I felt within those two minutes. Once I got my revenge I didn't give two shits anymore, I didn't care about anyone or anything anymore." I replied as I thought back to that awful time.

"I want revenge." She joked as she grabbed a piece of toast.

"She's annoying as fuck, believe me he's going through pain." I laughed.

"I was supposed to go to Slughorns Christmas party with him." She mumbled as she bit into her toast.

I gave her a confused look. "Christmas party? What party?"
