A/N: yeah, you know  jk owns most of this, there's no longer a point in telling you.

            A/N: yes, I know what you 're thinking. Oh know,,,not another one of HER stories. But hey, It gives me something to do besides trying to teach ikofire how too juggle.(ikofire is my swedish short snout). the people he was juggling got a bit nauseous. So, ya know, I had to do SOMETHING. I'll stop babbling now. *smacks herself in the head* ooh…dizzy.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione Granger sat gazing anxiously out the  window of the Hogwarts  Express, thinking, once again, about Harry. The scarlet steam engine was rolling ever closer to Hogwarts, but in Hermione's opinion, not fast enough.

            The longer it took, the longer she would  have to sit and listen to his cheerful voice , his  adorable laugh-

            Stop It!

She  shook herself mentally. Harry was her best friend. Nothing more.

The train had been rolling along for about an hour and Fred, George, Ron, Harry and  Ginny  had been talking of Quidditch the whole time.  She'd decided to lose herself in a book ( 463 ways to ace your N.E.W.T.s) so she wouldn't find herself lost in Harrys emerald green eyes…not that she didn't want to.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The  thought must have shown on her face because a moment later,  Fred was whispering to George 

   

            " Oy, whats up with Lady Einstein?"

He said this loud enough so the rest of the compartment heard ,though  Hermione didn't , she was reading, or atleast it  looked it. A moment  later  she was aware of five pairs of eyes on her.

            She looked up, alarmed.

"what?"

"Nothing," said Ginny, with a slightly concerned expression, " you just looked a little stressed."

" why's that?" said Hermione ,probably  looking  substantially confused.

" Because your book's upside down."

Hermione flushed. She didn't know what to say.

 " Yeah. I was just …erm…" she trailed off. She felt so foolish.

See, she told herself, this is what thinking off him does to you.

            Harry, however, seemed to find this quite amusing. He laughed for a  moment, then plopped down next to her.

 He picked up the book and started to read.

            "The first way to prepare for your N.E.W. Ts is to designate specific study hours….-"

        His monotonous tone was so reminiscent of old, boring professor Binns that everyone had to laugh.

            " Laugh as you may, but when you all are repeating a year and have to take N.E.W.T.s over, I'll be sure to say I told you so." said Hermione.

"Ahh," said George playfully, "who says you're going to pass them? You would've had to read the book first. Unless, of course, you're going to take the exams upside down too."

The whole compartment burst into laughter again, even Hermione.

" Don't worry," said Harry, staring at her with a more serious face," if I fail, I'll be sure to have you as a tutor for next year."

 

Hermione turned, if possible, even redder.

A/N: If you want me to write more, review and say so. Even if you don't want me too, review. (pleez). Warning- I tend to be very quick about posting chapters. If I get enough feedback, it'll only be a day or two.

P.S: sorry it was so short and stupid. I have an uncanny knack for making them that way.
