What are the odds

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

Authors Note: Please be nice my dad's having surgery today. So I wont be updating for a while, because I'll be with him, sorry guys. But I will continue to write chapter two on paper along with my other stories.

Chapter One

They were all there, crying and sobbing as a coffin was being lowered into the ground. All I could see was black, no color…except one, he stood out like a sore thumb; wearing bright red. It was horrible. I wanted to cry.

I felt as if there was something missing, my heart ached. I felt so cold as I stood there shivering, in the freezing rain. I watched the coffin go down, further and further, as if nothing else existed.

The Priest now started talking, "We are gathered here today, to put this spirit to rest. She was a wonderful girl, a daughter and a sister; loved by so many. What has happened to her was tragic," the Priest was now saying, everyone around him now crying harder and couldn't stop. There faced bright red, lines of water noticeable on their cheeks, "she was what most people would call a hero, an inspiration. For most, we shall never forget what she has done and accomplished."

I stood there, as people started to walk forward, dropping a flower in the ground. Soon everyone was gone, and I was left standing there alone. I walked forward and let go of my rose, watching it go down and hit the coffin. It felt like it went in slow motion, but only it didn't. Crying silently to myself, I turned around and walked away, leaving and never coming back.

One year later

Harry Potter walked into the men's bathroom at Hogwarts. He had his head down as he walked towards the sinks. When he looked up, he jumped and stopped walking.

There standing before him, was a girl. Her hair was wavy, which came down to the middle of her back. Her hair was a light brown color, with a slight tint of red to it; and she had bangs that perfectly framed her face. She was wearing a long white skirt, a white long sleeved shirt with a light blue t-shirt over it and she had on blue sneakers.

"What are you doing in here?" Harry said which got her attention.

"What do you mean what am I doing in here?" she said back. "This is the girls bathroom, you pervert."

Harry just looked at her like she was crazy; then he looked around and then laughed, "Um…listen, I'm pretty sure that this is the…"

"Well don't just stand there, get out!" she yelled at him.

"Excuse me?" Harry said crossing his arms across his chest. "…And I'm not a pervert."

"Well excuse me?" she said sarcastically leaning against a bathroom stall, "I think I told you to get out…I…I really want to be alone right now."

Harry sighed and looked down at the ground. "Listen…what's your name?" he asked looked back up, but then saw no one. He blinked a couple of times; took off his glasses, rubbing his eyes with his hands and then put his glasses back on. "Um…hello? Are you still in here?" he said coming forward, but still found no one. "I must be seeing things is all." He said to himself, then turned around and walked back to his room.

The next morning, Harry walked down to the Great Hall, and sat down next to Neville and Seamus. Dean, Ron and Eddie later joined them. "So…what's this I hear of you going into Advanced Potions?" Dean asked him. "I heard that a lot of people tried out for it but only two got in. Is that true, Harry?"

"How am I supposed to know?" Harry said grabbing a piece of bread.

"Well you got in didn't you?" Dean asked.

"Well yeah, but…"

"Then you should know." Dean said.

"Dean, no…I don't know how many people got into that class." Harry said buttering the piece of bread that he had in his one hand. "I don't even know why Professor Snape picked me?" he then took a bite out of it. "I mean he hates me."

"Maybe it's his way of getting back at you?" Ron said.

"Well if that's the case, I just won't go to Potions class." Harry said sarcastically, and then looked over at the entrance doors to the Great Hall. His eyes widened a little as he saw that same girl just standing outside of the Great Hall. She then walked away.

"So what class do you have first Harry?" Seamus asked him.

Harry stood up, "Yeah…um…I have to go. I…um…forgot something." He said then walked away with his friends looking at him weird. When he reached the entrance hall he looked around and saw her turn the corner. He immediately started walking and when he turned the corner he started to run seeing as how she was halfway down the hallway already.

"Hey!" Harry yelled trying to get her attention, "Hey you, girl!" he yelled again and she turned around, stopping.

"You again?" she said shocked. "Not following me are you?"

"No, I was…just going for a walk." He lied. "Listen, what's your name?'

"Why do you care?" she said crossing her arms across her chest.

"Are you new here?" Harry asked her.

"Is this some kind of sick joke? Listen buddy, I'm not that kind of girl." She said to him, and he had a confused look on his face. "So why don't you do us both a favor and get lost."

"What?" Harry said confused. "Listen Miss, what's your name?"

"Hermione." She said to him.

"Hermione what? Do you have a last name?"

"Granger. Hermione Granger, and you are?" she said slowly.

"Well it's nice to meat you Hermione." He said to her.

"It's nice to meat you too, I guess." She said with a weird look on her face.

"I'm Harry, Harry…"

"Potter!" Draco Malfoy yelled storming down the hallway towards him. "Where the hell have you been?" he said then paused. Harry turned and looked at him, and then turned back around to look at Hermione, who was nowhere in sight.

"Hermione?" Harry said.

"Not talking to yourself are we?" Draco said stopping in front of him.

"What the hell do you want?"

"You didn't show up for class, so Snape had me come and find you."

"Oh…"Harry said then paused. "Wait, you're the other person in Advanced Potions?"

"Yup." Draco said. "Now can we get going?"

"Yeah, sorry I must have gotten sidetracked."

"I'll say, fifteen minutes into class, he had me leave to come and get you." Draco said as they both started to walk towards the dungeons.

"Mr. Potter!" Snape yelled slamming a ruler against his desk, causing it to break and hit him right in the face. Harry and Draco both tried not to laugh. "It seems like you have a habit of being late or disrupting my class on the first day back." He said standing up. "Very well…both of you have a seat."

Draco and Harry looked at each other then went and sat down next to each other and Snape sighed. "No, both of you up here." He said pointing to the table in front of him. "I want you two up close…since you're my only students for this class." He said to him. "Move now!" he yelled and they both got up going to the front of the room.

"Sorry Professor." Harry said.

"Yes…well don't let it happen again now Potter." Snape said sitting down at his desk. "Malfoy?"

"Sorry Professor."

"Very well, open your books to page four hundred and eighty-five."

After along day of classes, Harry walked up to his room, since he was a prefect this year, he had his own room. He walked in and sat down next to the fireplace in a red chair. It was actually pretty soft. Harry leaned back and put his feet up on the chair next to him, putting his hands behind his head.

"Have a fun day, Harry?" Hermione asked coming in his common room. When he heard her voice, he nearly jumped five feet in the air. "Jumpy are we?" she said smiling.

"How…how did you get in here?" Harry asked standing up.

"Well it's nice to see you to?"

"How?"

"Well…I originally planned to steal your broom and fly in your bedroom window while you were sleeping…to scare you of course; but I thought against it since I hate flying." She said to him. "So I just came in the same way you did."

"I'm sorry, you what?" Harry said then sat down.

"I was only kidding about the window thing…"

"No," Harry said cutting her off. "How the hell do you know the password?"

"Please don't swear at me." She said and sat down. "Well your password wasn't that hard to figure out, only took me a couple of guesses is all."

"Right…so um…are you a student here?" he asked her.

"Uh…here?" she asked him.

"Yeah, Hogwarts?"

"No." she said and laughed.

"What's so funny?"

"Well it's just…I haven't been able to talk to someone in along time." She said to him.

"Okay, so you're not a student. So then why are you here?" he said.

"I don't know really."

"How old are you?" he asked as she stood up, walked over to a table and picked up a picture. Harry then stood up and walked over to her.

"Sixteen." She said as he took the picture away from her. "Hey, I was only looking at it.

"Well please don't touch it." He said putting it back down.

"Fine." She said then smiled. "I'm off to bed then." She said and walked up the stairs.

"Um…that's to my bedroom." He said going after her.

"What you can't share?" Hermione said turning around to look at him.

"Um, do I have to answer that?" Harry said.

"No." she said turning back around and going the rest of the way up. "Wow, nice room."

"Thanks…I guess." He said and she took off her shoes.

"Do you have a girlfriend Harry?" she asked him pulling her t-shirt over her head.

"No, not at the moment." He said as she took her skirt off.

"Oh that's too bad." She said then climbed into his bed.

Harry just starred at her. "What, not taking your shirt off?"

"No, you don't get to see that."

"Why your already half naked?" He said indicating that she was in nothing but her shirt and her white underwear.

"I was right, you are a pervert." Hermione said pulling the covers over her. "Well are you going to get in or what?" she said and Harry shook his head and stripped down to his boxers, then laid down on his side of the bed. After about two minutes, Hermione rolled over and wrapped her arms around his, putting on leg around his and her head on his chest. "Night Harry." She said smiling as he sighed.
