Chapter 6: Fix me now

Hermione and Harry had been dating for a few weeks now, and both had very different ideas about there relationship.

Ask one, and they would be ecstatic, they would say that they had never been happier, this was what they had always truly wanted. They would hear the wedding bells already.

Ask the other, they found it lacking, trite and poor supplement for the one they really wanted.

It didn’t take a potions master to figure out who was who.

Hermione had starting to withdrawal into herself again, and Harry remained oblivious to it all.

She thought that a relationship was just what she needed, something to keep her mind off of Draco. Hoping that it would work like a good book or studying to her when something was upsetting or worrisome. It was supposed to be comforting, not annoying.

Harry was needy and unsure of himself, the exact opposite of what Draco was, and it was frustrating beyond belief.

Harry treated Hermione as though she was the most precious of gifts at one moment, then as though she was just the girl who he found annoying in his first year at Hogwarts, well before he really got to know her.

She knew that she wasn’t giving Harry a proper chance, but it’s just not what she wanted, she wanted someone assured of himself, someone who challenged her. Hermione always worked for what she wanted - something she never had to do for Harry, dating him was hardly a prize, and it made the whole relationship seem even more like a joke.

Hermione lived for the thrill of a challenged, that’s why she did as well as she did. She was a secret competitor at heart. Becoming a wizard was a challenge, she had to catch up on something that some people had known for all there life, and had been submersed in all of her life, making it that much harder for her.

She aced all her NEWTS partly because she knew she had to succeed and because it was a challenge, now everyone door was open for her, and she found it almost heart breaking.

Draco was something that she truly desired, and Harry was pale in comparison. They were the exact counter opposite, and it just didn’t feel right.

Each chaste kissed with Harry felt so very different then she imagined they would be like with Draco. With Draco none of the kisses would be chaste, but full, lustful and remind you of why you are with them. They were supposed to be knee weakening, not dry and hard. It was almost as though she wanted to be tainted with the beast that was Malfoy.

Harry was supposed to fix her, to change her or atleast bring her back to how she was pre 7th year. Sometimes she had the urge to shake him and demand her medicine and at other times she just wanted to sit down and cry, she always choose the latter.

Hermione opened a few of her letters, more job offers that were very unappealing, and she set them aside. Nothing offered to her would give her the self-satisfaction she craved, or the person she craved.

Hermione could see the obvious similarities between her and Draco. Even though the very thought of him still hurt, but it took so much energy to not think of him.

That last day on the train broke her, destroyed her, Draco would be marrying Pansy and there was nothing she could do about it.

She always briefly scanned the daily prophet, looking for the wedding announcement of the Malfoy’s heir wedding. There was no way they would allow it to go unannounced, they were too pompous.

The usual news about more supports freed from Azkaban. The news of that jilted her slightly, making her more apprehensive towards the future and weary of what will become of her. The future looking even bleaker by the minute.
