HAPOV

BEEP BEEP BEEP! Eugh. What time is it? I glanced at my alarm clock and it read 7:00am. Well I guess summer is officially over. "Harry! Harry honey! Are you awake?" My mum rushed into my room holding lipstick in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other. "Get up sweetie, I'm off to work in 30 minutes and if you go back to sleep you might miss your first day so come on, get up!" I moaned and put the pillow over my head. "Harry, I don't have time for this so come on now get up," she said.

"I think I've come down with a life threatening illness," I mumbled.

"Nonsense. If you want a lift to school get up right now." I sighed, got up and went downstairs to have breakfast. Dad was sitting at the table reading the newspaper and sipping on his coffee. "Morning son," he said smiling.

"Good morning Dad. Anything interesting in the news?"

"Not really. Your friend won a prize in the Science fair but that's about it. What happened to her? She used to be around all the time."

"Who? Hermione?" I hadn't thought about Hermione in a long time.

"Yeah, lovely girl that Hermione." I finished my pancakes and walked upstairs thinking about her. As I stepped into the shower I wondered how she was. I hadn't spoken to her all summer, she had ignored all my texts and calls. I saw her once in town but as soon as she saw me she walked away. It's understandable really, we weren't on the best terms. I had really hurt her when I ended our relationship. I stepped out of the shower and into my bedroom when my phone rang. "Hello?" I said.

"Harry! Mate! How've you been?" said a familiar voice.

"Ron! I've been good, you? How was Egypt?"

"Good. My brother's doing really well over there. What did you do all summer?"

"Nothing really. Just stayed at home, went out from time to time but it was a pretty boring summer. Are you at school yet?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's pretty awkward in the classroom. It's just me, Seamus, Hermione and Cho. Hermione keeps giving me evils and I don't even know why! It wasn't me who broke her heart."

"Girls are like that aren't they? Anyone associated with their ex is automatically hated." I thought that was really stupid but hey, so are girls.

"Shame really, I quite like Hermione. She was a good laugh. Anyways mate, I'll let you get ready. I'll see you at school, see ya," he said and hung up. I put on some clothes, picked up my bag and went downstairs to find my mum at the door looking at her watch impatiently. "Harry really! It takes you this long to get ready? I'm going to be late now, sweetie. Come on get into the car," she said rushing me out of the door. It wasn't too far from my house to the school so the journey was pretty quick seeing as my mum was in a rush. She kissed me on the cheek, said goodbye and drove off. I watched her leave shaking my head and smiling. I took a good look at the school, sighed and made my way to the classroom thinking about Hermione again. This would be incredibly awkward but it can't be helped. I walked in and a few more people had turned up but she was the one who caught my attention immediately. Her hair had grown and she had it down the way I liked it. "Harry!" said Ron. I heard him but I didn't take my eyes off Hermione. She heard him too and turned around instantly. Our eyes met for a second then she turned around and continued chatting to Cho. "Alright there mate?" he asked. I snapped out of it and went over to Seamus, Dean and Ron.

HEPOV

My heart was racing and my breathing was getting heavier. Harry Harry Harry. "Hermione? Are you alright?" Cho asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired."

"Well I was saying that Harry just walked in and he's still staring at you!" Why did she have to say that? I was sick of getting my hopes up every time my phone beeped, every time I got a Facebook notification and every time someone mentioned him to me. It had all ended so quickly. I was expecting to spend my entire summer with him but it didn't turn out that way so I had to keep myself busy. I entered all sorts of academic competitions and joined loads of clubs to try to get my mind off of Harry and I thought it was working until just five minutes ago. "Don't be silly, Cho. I reckon he's staring at you. I mean come on, Harry and I are so over."

"Really? You think he was staring at me? Do you really?" she asked excitedly. Almost everyone in the year was interested in Harry. He was a good looking boy with respectable, well known parents. Everyone in town knew the Potters. Principal Dumbledore also took a shine to him; they were always smiling and greeting each other in the corridors. "Well he wouldn't be looking at me," I said as the teacher walked in.

"Right everybody today, we're going to be acting out love scenes. Love scenes are always powerful and intense. You've got to really make the audience believe that you are truly in love with each other! So do your best, okay?" The class groaned with discontent.

"Fantastic! I'll come round and assign your pairs." Oh great. A love scene. I get to see the boy I'm still in love with confess his love to another girl. I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet, it's only been a month and the break-up is still fresh in my mind. I sighed and rested my head on the table whilst his words repeated themselves in my head. "I think it's for the best… I do care about you, I really do… I want to be friends." My eyes suddenly got watery so I shook my head, blinked them away and got myself together. Not now Hermione. Not in front of him. "Hermione?" I turned around and there he was in all his handsomeness.

"Harry! Can I help you?" I said calmly.

"Miss Trelawney paired me with you," he explained. Crap.

"Oh really? Well let's get this over and done with then," I said getting off of my chair. I stood in front of him; he looked at me then smiled. "What?"

"Nothing, it's nothing. You don't seem very happy to be with me," he said stepping closer.

"It's not that, I just find it a bit awkward that's all. Let's just do this," I said stepping back. He shrugged then mumbled an OK. "How exactly are we going to do this?" I asked.

"I'm not too sure. Hmm. Remember the time I told you that I loved you? That was quite a cute, typical lovey-dovey moment." That moment. I know it like the back of my hand.

"Yeah, I guess so. But we don't really need to practice, one more time is good enough for me. Plus I don't wanna make it any more awkward than it already is," I explained.

"Alright then," he said. We just kind of sat there for another five minutes awkwardly looking at everyone else in the room but never at each other. Ron and Cho were absolutely hilarious! At one point he put his hand around her waist then moved his face closer to hers and she slapped him. "Miss Chang, I will have none of that in this classroom! Apologise to Mr Weasley!"

"Sorry Ronald."

"I think you need to kiss it better."

"Don't push it, Weasley," she said pointing at him. After about ten more minutes, Miss Trelawney told the class it was time for the performances. "Granger and Potter, you first," she said.

I heard someone mutter, "Well this should be interesting." I looked at Harry, he walked over to me and took my hand. We got up on the stage and started walking around. "It's a beautiful day isn't it?" I asked. My heart was thumping in my chest and I felt like I was going to be sick. We stopped walking and I knew what was coming next. He took my other hand and looked into my eyes. Then I looked down but he released one of my hands and tilted my chin up so I would look at him. "Just like you," he said looking right at me. Then as if by magic, a lock of my hair fell from behind my ear and onto my face just like it did on that day. He looked just as surprised as I was but then did exactly what he did then. He brushed the lock of hair aside gently and kissed my cheek. "I've been waiting a long time to tell you this, Hermione. I think I've known for quite some time but I never thought I'd have the guts to tell you but being here with you, it feels so right. I know I sound ridiculous and it's okay if you don't feel the same way but I have to tell you how I feel about you. When you're around, I feel like nothing could go wrong, I'm myself with you. You make me the happiest guy ever and I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you. I never want to hurt you. Hermione, you're my everything and I just need you to know that... that-"

"I love you," we both said together. Then we stood there just staring into each other's eyes and it felt like it did before. Like we were the only two people in the world. He stroked my cheek softly and then came the applause. We snapped back into reality and let go of each other instantly. "Best acting I've seen from either of you! I honestly believed every word you said! Are you sure you're not in love?" asked Miss Trelawney.
