Snowbirds [COMPLETED]

Dancing

Hermione curled up sleepily in the arm chair, tears stained on her face.

"Hermione," Harry said cautiously. "Just leave me alone," she said, her voice faltering.

She had just seen her two best friends go at each other and had witnessed one leave her, which was a lot to take in, even for a strong girl like Hermione.

Harry nodded slightly, watching her beautiful eyes well up with tears.

The only thing he wanted to tell her was I'm so sorry, but even that seemed unfitting.

He wished he could fix everything, but he of all people knew that wasn't possible.

And there he sat, watching the love of his life cry to herself over something that was his fault.

Harry and Hermione swayed together, the music coming to a stop. She looked up at him, the first trace of happy he had seen in days.

Her eyes traveled down to his lips. Her chin quivered, and she looked like she was about to do it... about to lean in....

Hermione pulled her head back, turning away and letting go of Harry's hands. Harry starred at her blankly for a moment. She was already leaving the tent.

"Hermione!" He said, following her out through the flap. She stood gazing at the moon.

"Hey.. Are you okay?" He asked. Hermione turned to him, her face illuminated in the moonlight. "I felt more than okay," she said softly. "I felt wonderful. I felt like all my problems were gone."

Harry stopped. He didn't know how to respond to her. "Why?" He said finally.

She looked down. "I.... I don't know. It was you, the music... It was us," she breathed.

Harry had seen Hermione give him this look many times, this I wanna be with you but I can't look and he smiled.

"I get it," he whispered. She looked at him softly, playing with her thumbs. "I just need some time, you know? To figure things out. I know I really did love you once. But things changed. And... There's someone else, obviously," she said, her breathe visible in the cold night.

"Of Course," he said back, not wanting to upset her. She smiled slightly. "Thank you," she said. He smiled back.

Hi! Sorry for this ugly chapter lol I have no inspo for this storyline anymore.
With that said, I'm think of finishing up with 1 more chapter and an epilogue.

I will continue with my Oneshots and when I'm done with this, I'll start a new Harry Styles/Harry Potter mashup!
