Harry woke up in a cold sweat.
Why was he having such feelings about Hermione? They were just friends, weren't they. He had to forget the dream and write his charms test with a clear head. He quickly showered, changed and headed towards the Grifindore lounge. There he met Ron and together they went over some of the material they were supposed to know for the big test.
After a half hour Hermione joined them and the three went to get some breakfast. Harry tried to forget the way Hermione was in the dream. It was just a dream he kept reminding himself.
"What the devils is wrong Harry" Hermione whispered while Ron was explained to them why they shouldn't even attend classes.
"Um, nothing honey-I mean Hermione, I was just remembering a dream I had."
"What of"
"Nothing gotta go, bye!" Harry said as he rushed away from the table before he had even had a bite to eat.
"What's his problem?" asked Ron once Harry left."
"I don't know, he must have had a bad dream. It really seemed to disturb him. I hope Voldermort didn't have anything to do with it."
"Ah, he'll be fine, he's tough." Exclaimed Ron while scarfing down the last sausage on his plate and continuing with the giant conspiracy behind the reasons for children going to school.
I have to stop this stupidity, Harry said to himself. This is foolish. There is nothing between Hermione and me.
After the last period of the day, Harry couldn't get Hermione out of his mind. He had no idea what girls spoke about all night, but if there were any feelings that Hermione had about Harry he had to know!
That night, Ron went to bed early and Harry slipped on the invisibility cloak and sneaked into the girls' dorm. It was real nice in there. The colors were more feminine, but other that that it was an exact duplicate. The 5 girls were on one bed discussing their days. Harry sat cozily on the floor against the wall, out of the way and listened.
After what seemed like an eternity, the topic of conversation Harry was hoping for came up.
"So, any new crushes?" asked somebody
Harry heard no answer and was afraid he had come all this way for nothing, when suddenly, the same voice said:
"Alright then, we'll just go over the old ones. Hermione what's up with you and-"
Just at that moment one of the Prefects came and told everyone it was lights out.
Obediently, they all separated into their own bed and nothing was said.
