"Harry! Ron!" a familiar voice called behind the two best friends. They turned around to find Hermione Granger running over to them.

"Hermione we've missed you so much!" They both went in for a hug, but she moved away at the last second. "We need to find a seat!" she exclaimed and she boarded the Hogwarts Express.

I wonder what has gotten into her. Thought Harry. She seems so different, but she is still as beautiful as ever.

So the train ride was quite uneventful. Some 1st years kept opening up their compartment just to look at Harry and make sure he was real. Hermione hardly ever spoke the whole way, and she was scrunched up against the window, as if she was trying to get away from them.

When the train stopped the trio strolled into the Great Hall like they owned the place. Well at least Ron did, Harry just acted like he didn't know him. (A/N Oh by the way..... they are in there 7th year..) Ron and Harry took a seat at their table and Hermione sat across from them, looking like she didn't want to be there at all.

"Hey Harry" Ron whispered, "Maybe you will get Head Boy this year. Since you got perfect last year, and your scores were almost as good as 'Miones." "Yeah, maybe." He replied "Shh....." cut in Hermione "The sorting is starting."

Throughout the whole ceremony Harry barely paid attention. He was too busy looking at Hermione. Over the summer he finally admitted it to himself that he loved her. She was beautiful, flawless, but Harry noticed something. She had a few bruises on her body. One under her eye, and few on her arms. She kept trying to pull her sleeve down to cover the marks, but Harry could still see them. He knew something happened to her, and he was going to find out what.

Harry snapped back into reality when everybody stopped clapping, and watched as Dumbledore stood up.

"I would first off like to say welcome to all first years, and congratulations to all 7th years. You made it through the last 6 years!" he paused while 7th years hooped and hollered. "I would also like to welcome back professor Lupin. He will again be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. I am sure everyone is very happy. Now due to two of our graduates last year." He gave a few winks towards Ron "No one is allowed on the 3rd floor, because of a few graduation pranks." Ron turned bright red because everyone knew it was Fred and George, well except the first years. "And last but not least I would like to announce our head boy, and head girl. Miss Hermione Granger." Again he stopped for applause "And Mr. Harry Potter." The whole hall erupted in claps for the new head boy and girl, (except the Slytherin table) and Harry saw Hermione smile for the first time all day. Everyone then headed up to his or her dorms, to sleep, or whatever, classes were the next day.

Harry was studying the map to his and Hermione's new common room when Dumbledore and Professor McGonagal walked up behind them.

"Harry can we talk to you for a second?" they both asked. "Yeah. Sure. Wait here 'Mione, I don't want to get lost." And he walked over to the teachers.

"Harry something terrible happened to Miss Granger over the summer, and I do need you to keep a close eye on her. However I will not tell you what happened, that is her place, not mine." Said Dumbledore, with that same twinkle in his eye. "Is that the only reason why you gave me head boy this year?" asked Harry "Oh no" replied Dumbledore "Mr. Potter you deserve it. You got excellent grades last year, you won the Quidditch cup, and to top it all off you had to deal with another Voldemort threat. I daresay you deserve it." "Thanks Professor." Said Harry and he walked back over to Hermione.

"So" said Professor McGonagal to Dumbledore "I bet you 30 galleons those two will be an item in at least a month."

"Oh but you are to harsh Professor." Said Dumbledore "I bet they will do it in 3 weeks, and lets make it 37 galleons." "Why 37?" " Oh no reason, that's just my favorite number."

"Lemon drops" Hermione whispered and a door appeared in the wall in front of them. Harry walked inside and gasped at the magnificent looking room. "Oh Harry" said Hermione "It's beautiful."

The two friends walked around the room observing everything. There were two separate doors leading to their rooms, and only one bathroom.

"Well Harry if you don't mind I am going to take a shower first, seeing as how there is only one bathroom." Said Hermione and she went into her room to get her stuff.

Harry left and went down to the Gryffindor common room to talk to Ron. He told him how he thinks Hermione is acting really strange and also about the bruises on her arms. After a while of talking they decided to play a game of chess, before Harry decided to leave.

"Lemon Drops' Harry whispered, and he walked into his new common room. Hermione lay sleeping on the couch with a book on her lap, and a tear stricken face. Harry ran over to her and started to gently shake her awake. "Hermione wake up"

Her eyes bolted open, and she let out a loud "NO" before she jumped up, and ran across the room. "Hermione what's wrong?" Harry asked as he started to walk towards her. "Don't come near me!" she yelled "Not another step!"

Harry immediately stopped and obeyed Hermione's every word. He didn't know what was wrong with her but he didn't want to make it worse.

"Hermione I'm not going to hurt you." He said calmly "It's me Harry. Your friend remember? The one who will never let anything happen to you?"

"No!" She sobbed "Your just like them!! You're all the same!! You all want the same thing!"

"Hermione. Who's them?" Harry pleaded, "Who are you talking about?"

Hermione didn't answer, but she fell to the floor, putting her head in her knees and sobbing even more. Harry took this time to walk over to Hermione and get down on his knees in front of her. "Listen to me Hermione." He said forcefully putting his hands on her shoulders. She flinched and tried to move away, but Harry kept a firm grip.

"Hermione look into me eyes." He said trying not to scare her. She obeyed, and picked up her head, staring strait into his eyes. "Do I look like I am going to hurt you?"

They stayed that way for a few minuets. Hermione staring into dark emerald green eyes, and Harry staring into her chocolate brown ones.

"No." Hermione said softly and she flung her arms around Harry's neck. Continuing to sob.

"Harry I'm so afraid." She chocked out. "Afraid of what?" He asked.

"Of getting hurt again..."
