Chapter 1
Her eyes. That was it. He could stare into them for hours. Nothing would ever stop him. He just stared. They were beautiful.
"Harry!"
"Mmph, yeah?"
"What are you staring at? You have homework to do!" Harry pulled out his wand and began reading chapter 5 of his charms book. He could feel himself blushing.
"Harry, Hermione!" Ron walked through the portrait hole and into the common room. "I've been looking all over for you! Where were you?"
"We've been here all along, why do you ask?" Ron ignored them. He was blushing as well.
"You'd better get your homework done too! You don't want Flitwick to find out you've done it at the last minute, do you?"
"Umm, well it's funny about that!" said Ron checking his watch.

"Oh, Harry. Will you hurry up?" Hermione called over her shoulder.

"Oh yeah. Sorry."

"NO!" Screamed Hermione.
"Oh! Why not?"
"Oh, umm..."

"All right then. If it makes YOU TWO DAREDEVILS happy!" Hermione said as she punched Ron in the arm, knocking him down.
"Oi! That hurt!" Ron said with a particularly angry look on his face.
"Yeh'd better not ride with an arm like tha'! I'll take yeh to the hospital wing."
"So can we get on?" asked Harry while eying Hermione's embarrassed smile. She looked very pretty like that.
"What're yer waitin' for? Hop on!"
They were flying and Harry loved it. Shame he couldn't share the feeling with Hermione. Just as he was about to let go just to show off to Hermione, Witherwings started to dive. They both screamed as Witherwings hit the ground...
