Chapter thirteen(Pasts)
Hermione's POV

Jk Rowling owns everything except the plot.
~•~

The rain was pouring down non stop and so were my tears.

I was slumped in my bed. All the pain and sadness was making my heart ache.

I am not the one who breaks down easily. But the matter was too painful today.

I was missing my dad.
I... I still am not able to come out of the shock of his death.
Two weeks after the war I came back home after an exhausting day of Re-building Hogwarts, only to find out that my dad was admitted in the ICU.

He got into an accident while returning home from his office. I couldnt even talk to him when he took his last breath.

Dad was my everything. I was my Dad's Princess. We shared a very strong bond and I was just, devastated by his death.

I cried, cried for my dad. Cried for my mum. Cried for the fact that even after facing so much my life is still complicated.

I didnt realize someone came in.

"Oh my, Hermione are you crying?"

I didnt have the energy to look up.
But I could recognize that voice anywhere.

Harry engulfed me into a warm hug and I leaned onto him.

"Ssh...Sshh..'mione stop crying. Whats the matter? "

"I...I miss him Harry. I miss my dad."

" Ssh..Hermione, its okay. Stop crying. I know you miss him, but hes in a better place now. He must be proud of you, Very proud that his daughter is so strong. Stop crying, you need to be strong. You need to be strong for your dad, for your mum, for yourself."

Harry whispered soothing things on my ear while stroking my hair.

My sobbing had stopped. I was just staring blankly at the ceiling while sitting there in my best friend's arm.

He is right. I .... I am stronger than this.
I need to be stronger than this.

"Harry.."

"Mmhm?"

"Will you please walk me down the aisle?" I asked quietly.

" I'd be delighted to..."
He replied.

I sighed.
Sitting up straight, I wiped my tears.

"Thank you Harry. Thank you so much for just being there."

"I will always be there 'mione. You are my little sister and I wil always be there by your side."

I smiled gratefully at him.

"Yeah Mum, the date went well." I said pouring myself a glass of orange juice.

"Glad that you two are getting used to each others presence." She said. "Honey, I am sorry for this. I know you and Draco weren't exactly best of mates but-"
