Untitled Love

Chapter 1

Harry's heart was thumping out of his chest. He would never forget that day. Wonderful, scary, brilliant. But he could not sum it up with a couple of words.

Harry woke up, drenched in sweat and panting. He did not remember his dream...only the fact that it was important. Even though it was very early in the morning, he still got up and dressed in his Hogwarts robes. He sat back down and tried to bring the dream back. Katie Bell. That was all he could remember, then the dream slipped away. It was like trying to hold water.

Harry walked down into the common room, hoping to see Hermione, but there was no one there.

For the next hour, Harry just gazed at the wall, trying to recoil his memory of the dream. As time ticked by, he got no closer to recalling his dream as he was to finish up five rolls of parchment paper for charms class.

Finally, the Gryffindor common room got filled up as people were going to breakfast. He waited a while longer in order to walk down to breakfast with Hermione and Ronald.

"So, Harry...How'd you sleep last night?" Hermione asked.

It took a while for Harry to respond, but eventually, he responded with an unfashionable, "Fine."

Hermione looked at him skeptically but said nothing more.

Halfway to breakfast, Ronald spoke up with a "Harry..why did you get up in the middle night and go down to the common room?"

Harry thought about how to respond to this question. He could not just tell Ron "I had a bad dream," so instead he replied with, "I could not sleep."

Ronald looked at him, his face questioning, but it was replaced with hunger as they approached the Great Hall.
