Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. They belong to the brilliant mind of J.K. Rowling. I am not trying to take credit for her work. I do own the plot. If at any point I got my plot idea from something else, I will mention that at the bottom of the chapter. In future chapters, some of my own original characters will appear. At the beginning of that chapter, I will have another disclaimer.

On the couch in the common room just like every other weekend, the golden trio sat, bored out of their minds. Christmas was two days away and they had their shopping done long ago.
"Guys, what do you wanna do?" asked Hermione, desperate to do something different for a change. Every weekend since the beginning of their 7th year, Harry, Ron and Hermione sat, bored on the couch in the common room, pondering what to do instead of out "exploring life" like most of the teenagers their age.
"I know what I WANT to do", Harry thought to himself. Lately he'd been noticing just how well Hermione's body had been developing. Since the first year, she'd always been wearing baggy clothes or her school uniform which didn't fit or show off her figure at all. But this past summer, after she left Ron's which she spent a week there, she had went to America and came back with all new clothes that curved with her body and fitted every bit of her figure. Harry had noticed how well her body looked. Right now, she was wearing a pair of tight fitting bellbottom jeans and a white tank top that revealed lots of cleavage. He wondered how the professors and headmaster even let her wear such clothes here. "What the hell are you thinking Potter. You like it so why are you complaining?" It's true, he didn't care why they let her wear clothes like that, in fact, he's glad that they let her.
Meanwhile, Hermione was having feelings for a certain someone. Lately, she couldn't get him off her mind. Of course, she didn't tell Harry and Ron though. She didn't think that they would approve so she didn't tell them, even though they have been going out since this summer. There was also another secret that she was keeping from them. But, there was no way that they would find out that secret until they had to. I mean, the secret she was hiding wasn't something you'd go around bragging about. Even HIS friends didn't know.
"Umm.... Hermione, I was wondering, I mean, I know we've been friends for a long time and I don't want this to ruin our friendship if you say no but, would you go out with me?" Ron asked Hermione while shaking uncontrollably.
"Ron, I wouldn't want anything to ruin our friendship either but...I'm involved with someone." Hermione said nervously. As if someone snapped their fingers in her head, she realized that she had told them that she went out with someone even though she didn't want them to find out.
Harry looked like someone had just punched him in the stomach. Not only did Hermione have a boyfriend, but she had hid it from him and Ron. He tried to look supportive, but was failing pretty badly, though Hermione didn't notice. She looked like she had just seen a ghost, well, a scary one.
"Really Hermione? You have a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell us? Who is he?" Ron questioned, not seeming too angry that he got turned down. He had always cared for her well-being, even though it many not have seemed like it.
Hermione started to blush uncontrollably. She didn't wanna tell him who she went out with. But, she had to think of a way to get out of telling them, and fast.
"Yes Ron, I do have a boyfriend. I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure how far our relationship was going, but now that I know, I guess it was a good time to tell you." said Hermione, blushing slightly cause she knew that she was lying, even though Ron and Harry had bought it.
"Well, who is he? Do we know him? What's he like?" Ron questioned. He seemed to want to know every detail. He kept asking her question after question.
"You'll find out tomorrow night since he is spending Christmas with me. Dumbledore gave him permission."
"Aww, c'mon Hermione, tell us." Harry said before Ron had a chance to say anything. Harry wanted to know more than Ron because he wanted to know who he had to beat up in order to make Hermione his.
"No, you'll find out tomorrow night. I'm gonna go upstairs and finish wrapping my Christmas presents. I also have to write my parents a letter. Goodnight Ron, Harry." Hermione said before hugging both of them and walking upstairs.
Harry and Ron sat discussing their plans for tomorrow before heading upstairs and going to bed.
