As Hermione walked down the corridor she couldn't help being nervous, she had this huge arithmacy test the next day. It was 9pm, the most obvious thing for her to do was to study in the common room, but it was too noisy and cheerful for her to be able to concentrate.

So she entered the faintly lighted place that was the library. She gave the librarian a little smile before she plopped down on her favorite table in the far end of the room filled with bookshelves and tables to read.

She opened "A guide to Arithmacy" with some laziness; in her eyes were kind of heavy, when she heard a weird sound from the darkest side of the room. She curiously went there, with her wand out pointing at the dark area. Some one seemed to have held their breath.

-Lumos-She whispered and from the tip of her wand and a soft light illuminated the dark spot revealing her best friend Harry Potter with Cho Chang. They had been kissing as it was obvious due to Cho's vanished lipstick and Harry's guilt face.

Time stopped as anger boiled inside her, her arithmacy test way forgotten the minute she saw them. He had promised.She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. She glared with Harry with disgust and pity. She took her books and left the library running to the girl's dormitories in the Gryffindor tower.

-Hermione Wait!!!- Harry yelled after her, his cheeks were red from embarrassment. But he couldn't catch up with her as she disappeared behind the doors of the girl's dormitories.

There were only days until the school year came to an end and Harry kept trying to talk to Hermione. But she wouldn't even look at him; she even managed to disappear from the end of the term feast. He didn't see her on the train., but as he was coming down from the train, he saw her. Almost going through platform 9¾, he rushed over to her and stopped her in her tracks.

-Look, I can explain.- He trailed off as she shook her head.

-There is nothing to explain, I didn't want to hear it, You thought I'd never find out about you and Cho.- Hermione said this ever so quietly that it sounded dangerous, Harry grimaced.

-But I dated her last year. - Harry said redder than ever.

I didn't care back then!!! - Hermione yelled in his face - she hadn't done what she did to me last year!!!

- I know - Harry said felling very embarrassed, he knew that Hermione was right, he shouldn't have dated Cho.

You remember what she did??? !!!!! Eh?? DO YOU?? - Hermione said throwing her hand in the air in exasperation.

Yes. - His voice was in a low whisper...- She put a manipulated picture of you naked...And gave a *cough* copy to each student. Surprising thing Dumbledore didn't find out. Look Hermione I'm so sorry.

Sounds like bullshit...- she said in a loud voice.

Which part??- He asked confused.

Every bloody part of it - She said and with that she was off through the platform.

It was the last day of school in their sixth year. This was day that they would return to their parents. But something dreadful had happened Hermione had found out that Harry indeed had been dating Cho Chang throughout this year as well.

It wouldn't have been that bad if Cho hadn't played that vicious prank on Hermione because of her jealousy. It would have been a bit bearable if it wasn't for Malfoy and his group of Slytherin's stupid little song:

"Granger is our Queen

Granger is our Queen

She lets everyone see

What she hides behind those

robes

Granger is our Queen"

Harry shook his head and shrugged, it was her problem not his. A voice in his head said "but you made the promise". He shook his head and thought:

So what, I don't care. ?

*Flashback* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hermione stormed into the common crying hysterically. Harry and Ron had been doing homework.

Ron and Harry both sat next to her and asked her "What was wrong. She didn't answer. She just kept crying.

Ron then sighed and said - Harry find out what's wrong with her and help her, I have to go meet Lavender at the library, See Ya"

- Hermione - Harry said embracing her in a hug , his emerald eyes sparkling with concern - What's wrong ???

Hermione's sobs became lower and lower and she was wiping the tears from her cheeks and eyes. After a couple of minutes in which Harry keep hugging her , she then looked up and said - It was Cho , she gave a manipulated picture of me to the whole school. Malfoy even has his own little song to it.

- Stupid git , He'll get his, don't worry I'll make sure of it" shouted Harry - I'm tired of him picking on you all the time , Hermione I'm so sorry, Cho is nothing like i imagined , I can't believe that she would do this to you. If she likes me then she has to respect my friends.

Well, she obviously doesn't - said Hermione and then groaned- and ill have to see her everyday, because she's your girlfriend.

Harry felt such a force inside him , he wanted to make sure that Hermione never cried again, it didn't feel right

- That can be worked out - Harry said smiling weakly - I wont date her anymore if you don't want me too

- Are you serious Harry - Hermione said

Harry nodded and said - I promise, I won't.

*End Flashback* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Harry was beginning to feel a little guilty about breaking his promise of course. But when Harry was about to go through the barrier Cho came up to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. All his guilt had escaped his mind.

* 2 Weeks Later * ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Harry lay in his bed thinking about his girlfriend Cho. She hadn't written to him since that goodbye on the platform. He was starting to become suspicious. Hedwig hadn't come back in days and when she did, she had a very tiny and insignificant letter that said:

Harry I'm kind of busy right now. I'll talk to you later, ok.

Bye,

Cho

He frowned; he didn't know what was keeping cho so busy lately, she couldn't write a proper letter. Then he stroke Hedwig's soft, white feathers and went down to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

Dudley was still the same stupid bloke since last year, though due to his title as wrestling champion he was a arrogant as you could get, but was still intimidated by Harry which came in handy a lot these days.

They ate eggs, bacon and toast in silence that is until pig (Ron's little owl) came into the house from the nearest window with a letter attached to its leg. Harry after seeing uncle Vernon's purple face grabbed pig and ripped open the letter as quickly as possible. It read:

Dear Mate,

You won't believe what just happened!! I am writing to you from St. Mungo's, Hermione has been attacked but we don't know who the attacker is. They're investigating, she is very ill and her parents are in critical condition. I attached a bag of floo powder along with this letter so you can head down here and pay Hermione a visit. I'll see ya when you get here.

Sincerely, RON

Harry's heart fell, Hermione injured, a tear escaped his eyes but he wiped it away furiously, and she was going to be ok, nothing to worry about. Then he looked up and saw the Dursley all looking at him expecting him to do something he said then a bit lower than usual - uncle Vernon , a friend of mine got injured and she is in the hospital..

- You can go boy - uncle Vernon said and to Harry's surprised he didn't say it in a disgusted voice and then Vernon hide himself behind his newspaper. Harry could only see his forehead and it was red. Harry blinked several times before saying - thanks - and going up to his room with the letter still in his hands.

A couple of minutes later Harry ran to the fire place threw in the floo powder and said "To St. Mungo's Hospital.

Harry stepped out of the fireplace in St. Mungo's Hospital and looked around, green cloaked healers appeared from time to time and odd looking persons in line in front of the receptionist.

- Harry, Harry!!! Called a familiar voice he turned around and saw Ron standing there looking sleepless but giving him a huge grin. Harry approached him and gave him a friendly hug and then a handshake.

He then looked at his right and in a large sofa near the entrance of the room was a little girl with long curly brown hair, about 11 years old, and entrancing bright blue eyes, she looked exactly like Hermione, apart from the eyes.

Who is she? - Harry asked forgetting a bit about Hermione and smiling at the kid.
