Hermione Granger sat on her bed in a small Muggle apartment, searching for some lost papers that she needed for her job. She opened a box where she kept most of her files and shook out the contents of it. Among all of the papers and notes, a sight of an old photo caught her gaze.

She confusedly picked it up, staring at the date written on the back of the photograph. 19th June 1998. Almost 10 years ago.

Hermione turned over the picture at the same time some quiet slow song started playing on her radio.

”When I was young, I never needed anyone... and making love was just for fun... those days are gone...”


She slightly shivered as she heard the beginning of the lyrics. Something about them gave her unpleasant chills as she staringly watched the moving wizarding photo.


Hermione simply couldn’t do anything else but peer at the picture where three widely smiled persons in their age of 17 esctatically waved back to her, all wearing dark wizarding robes with diplomas in their hands.


The first thing she noticed on the picture was fiery red hair that belonged to the tallest boy. Lots of freckles rested on his face and nose, scattered across the milk coloured skin. The boy had a huge grin on his face, as he hugged Hermione with one and some boy with his other arm.


-R- ron... – whispered Hermione hoarsely, as she felt a lump stopping somewhere in her throat. It’s been a while since she dared to say his name out loud.


Her now watery eyes moved onto the other figure. Slightly taller than she used to be, but lots more skinnier, with his black untamed hair rustling on mild breeze, chuckled a boy, as the sun reflected at his glasses. Hermione could clearly see the ligthening shaped scar on his forehead and the famous emerald green eyes.


-Harry... - she muttered, desperately trying to fight the painful feeling in her stomach.


She couldn’t believe how all three of them looked so careless there... so happy... so free... why did they have to be so wrong?


”Living alone, I think of all the friends I’ve known... and when I dial a telephone, nobody’s home...”


Hermione closed her eyes as the sight of her best friends flowed through her mind... Harry Potter and Ron Weasley... Two boys who taught her the meaning of true friendship... loyalty... bravery... love... Two boys who were there whenever she’d need them... Two boys who could annoy her like nobody else could, just because she loved them too much... Two boys who gave up their lives so that she, her family and everybody else could stop living in fear... Two boys whom she could never seen again...


”All by myself, don’t wanna be all by myself any more, hard to be sure, sometimes I feel so insecure, and love’s so distant and obscure, remains the cure...”


A tear strolled down her face. Then another one... and another one... They weren’t with her anymore.. nor they ever will... she was all by herself...


And nobody could ever change that...

P.S. That date in the beginning... is it good? I am desperate when it comes to the numbers, . If anyone thinks the year isn't good, please tell me so. Much appreciated.
