Hermione's POV

I didn't care for the small wounds in my hand and the smell of blood.

Or the roaring tears in my eyes.

I didn't care when my heart was beaten, smashed, destroyed.

I didn't care for the broken glass.

I didn't care for what they were going to say tomorrow.

I didn't care at all.

But as I was running away from the Great Hall, into the chilling cold of the autumn night, I found my self shattered. Beaten.

I should've run away when I got the chance. But everytime I found myself happy, he would take away all the happiness. I was supposed to be the smartest witch of our generation. And yet, I was fool enough to fall for Ronald Weasley.
I was a fool to think that it was going to be like a paradise.

But here I was, crying. Merlin, I hated to cry. Was I that weak?Yes.

I shook my head and another stream of hot tears rolled down my face.
I looked down my hand, it was mostly filled with blood. My blood.
I didn't want to go to Mantam Pomfrey. I didn't want to be healed. Or to ask me where I got them.

Everytime I wanted to set my mind in order, I went by the Lake. So, I walked towards it.

Where was Ginny anyway? I needed someone. Someone to lean on. A shoulder to cry on. I, Hermione Jean Granger, was that weak.

I had never felt like this before. Alright, maybe when we were in 5th year, it was pretty much the same. But now, it was a hundred times more aching. Like thousands of flames were going to burst out of my chest, like I was going to explode.

A cold stream of blood ran down my hand, I looked down to find the blood dried and new coming down. I snorted. I needed a bandage. I couldn't leave more blood on the floor. So, with heavy footsteps, I turned away, heading to the Hospital Wing.

I just hoped that Madame Pomfrey had a cure for shattered hearts.

Draco's POV

It wasn't that hard to track her down. Sure, I kept a distance, so she wouldn't notice me.
But still, all I had to do, was to follow the small blood traces on the floor. From what I could make , she was going to the Lake but nothing was sure. I thought she was going in the Hospital Wing; the traces of blood were bigger and bigger. Were the scars that deep?
And really now, he - Weasley couldn't see her how broken she was? And she-Weasley, why didn't she ran after her? Firstly, she tells me to 'treat her better' and then didn't followed her?Really?

I continued following the blood traces, which was kind of weird, and there was the biggest trace of them all. So she stopped there, for a minute or two. But, why?

I soon found the answer to my question. The blood traces made a 90 degree turn.
She was going to the Hospital Wing. Was it that serious?

I followed again, wondering what would I tell her when I see her.

Hermione's POV

"How did you got those cuts, darling?" Madame Pomfery asked me, exactly as I said.
