Response to challenge by Carlo inspired by the song "Runaway Love." This story is not for the faint of heart, contains child abuse. Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
*WARNING* MAJOR Alternate Universe and OOC Hermione. Hermione’s life hasn’t turned out the way she planned. In her dreams it was always her and Harry, not this mess she’s in now. Now, a mistake ten years ago ruined all her dreams, but can she still have hers with Harry? Rated R for strong language.
After the Final Battle with Voldemort, Hermione finds herself all alone. Chock full of angst. You have been warned.
