Knowledge and Truth

AN: at exactly 100 words, a little het drabble with angst

The moment Hermione saw Harry kiss Ginny she realised how much she didn't know. Somehow there were huge gaping holes in what she should've been taught – the most important things anyone could learn.

Love.

Hurt.

Heartbreak.

These were the things she should have been prepared for, because of course these were the things not covered in any of the books she'd read. How the ceiling of Hogwarts was enchanted or the inventor of the Patronus charm… even Voldemort. It all meant absolutely nothing.

The only answer that mattered was Harry and she had been too late to ask the question.
