The love of an enemy.

CHAPTER ONE!

Hermione's Diary—

November 2

All went well today, I got an A+ on my potions quiz. Snape was in such a horrible mood, I'm surprised that he gave me a good grade. He has been all crabby and mad for the past week and that's why he had given us that test. And it was only the second week of that unit of the lesson. So most of the students had no clue what half of the stuff was about. Poor Harry and Ron, they bout got D's on their tests...which brings me to the bad parts of my day. so we were walking on our way to defense against dark arts, right, and well we were minding or own business and then Draco and his posse of rich slytherin snobs came walking up behind us... well if it isn't the weasel scar face and mud blood. we all just ignored it until he tripped me and Harry and Ron got all defensive... and then they got into this whole big fight with eventually led to something stupider and les pointless...before the first punch was thrown the last thing I heard Harry saw was, 'I DO NOT WEAR TIGHTY WHITIES!' and that's a Fact... I know he doesn't...I helped him clean out his part of the boys dorm last week because he was getting piled up with homework and the other boys were so upset it was annoying...so I did his laundry...but yes i'm getting off of the subject now. And then Harry punched Draco right in the nose and Draco started gushing blood badly. He used a spell to stop it of course...but then he punched Harry in the stomach, Harry bent himself in half and fell on the floor. Draco was bragging to all his snobbish posse when Harry was slowly getting up and Draco was still talking... not noticing that Harry was recovering, and his posse was trying to warn him but he was to proud to be interrupted. Then out of no where Harry grabbed Draco by a chunk of his hair and turned him around. then out of no where snape turns the corner and sees Harry holding the hair of Dracos head and walks over to him and give Harry a months of detention and 50 points from Gryffindor and he only take 10 from slytherin and

Draco doesn't even get a warning or any thing...the snape just walks away. Then on top of that we were late for defense against dark arts and 10 additional points were taken off from Gryffindor. But hey you can't be to mad... that's how the story goes...live with it.

Hermione walks down to the common room after putting her diary in her safe. And there was Harry and Ron sitting on the big red sofa doing homework. She didn't have a chance to talk to them sense the "accident" with Draco. So she walked slowly down the stairs and went to go sit in the golden armchair next to Harry.

"So... when's your first detention from snape?" she asks

"I don't wanna talk about it... god that's the last thing I wanna talk about right now... snape" he says in return.

"well then what do you want to talk about?" Hermione says with boredom in her voice.

Harry directs this to Ron. "Ron could I speak with you in private please...like maybe up in the boys dorm?"

"As long as it keeps me from doing this stupid potions homework"

They walk up the stairs leaving Hermione all alone in the common room.

"How rude. Some body must have woken up on the right side of the bed, laid back down, and then rolled off the wrong side this morning." she says to herself

then she picks up the teen witch magazine sitting on the coffee table in front of her and opens up to a random page and starts to read.

Meanwhile up in the boy's common room with Harry and Ron...

"Yea so what's up with you tonight?" Ron asks with a slight yawn.

"Ok I know this sound a little girlish... but you have to promise never to tell this to any one... unless I say you can"

"Yea yea yea... I promise..."

"Ok well sense this mourning when Draco tripped Hermione, I realized th-"

Ron interrupts, "that you have had feelings for Hermione and never known it until today because you got all defensive?"

"You know me all to well Ron...its kind of sad when you think about it..."

"Yeah I know... but you're just so predictable Harry..."

"So what if I am... do you think Hermione knows?"

"nah... she might be the smartest girl in the school, but if you even try to flirt with her she wouldn't know it because, well ... not to be mean, because you know Hermione is like my sister, but she has never had a boyfriend and no guy has ever really flirted with her."

"No your wrongs... remember... the Yule ball... her and Krum?"

"Oh... yea I forgot about that... but that's just one person..." Ron said stricken by how he had forgotten that.

"Yea... I don't really know what to do... I have never liked someone like this before... and, what if she doesn't feel the same way... I don't want to ruin our friendship..." Harry states as he slowly sits on his bed and put his head in his hands

"Well ill leave you hear to think about what you want to do... and then... I might just be able to help you... maybe..." Ron said and then quietly walks down the stairs into the common room to find Hermione fast asleep in her arm chair.

"Well I better wake her up to make sure she gets to her bed..."

"Wait, don't wake her... ill take her up to her bed." Harry said from the bottom of the stairs.

He stares at her for a while. For she has changed over the summer. She now has long bark brown hair and it has a relaxed curl in it instead of that icky frizz. And she has filled out a little sense Harry had last scene her. But she still had those beautiful honey gold eyes, (which of course you can't see...because she is sleeping...) and those perfect soft lips that Harry has been dreaming to touch for the past month and a half.

"Oh... ok then... you do that... i'm going to go up to bed... good night." Ron said

Harry gave him a slight nod, and carefully picked Hermione up from her chair and she dropped the magazine which she had been reading...Harry didn't even notice. He took her up stairs and carefully tucked her into bed and was about to give her a good night kiss on her fore head and decided against it incase he suddenly woke up. Then he walked to his bed and lay there for about two hours until he fell into a horrible nightmare filled sleep.

He dreamed of Voldomort rising once again. But he knew it couldn't be true for he had killed Voldomort last year after almost being expelled.

The next morning when Hermione wakes up. She sits up in here bed, and then looks at her clock.

"Only 5:45 I can still sleep for another forty-five minuets before I get up and get ready for my weekend with my parents!"

She lies back down and tries to fall back asleep. But then she thinks to herself...

'Wait... how the heck did I get here, I don't remember coming up to bed last night!'

she just lays there for a while until Ginny groggily sits up in her bed and yells at Hermione to shut up for she was thinking this over in her head because usually she had a wonderful memory, but she just couldn't remember how she got up the stairs and into her bed. Ginny threw the pillow because while Hermione was thinking about this she must have been talking too. This apparently woke Ginny up. Hermione sits up in her bed to apologize to Ginny.

"Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't realize that I was talking to myself."

"Yeah I'm sure you are..." Ginny replied uninterestedly while lying back down. "Oh and by the way, Harry brought you up last night, you fell asleep in the chair."

"How did you know?" Hermione questioned her.

"he forgot the password tot he door and was knocking on it for like five minuets until I finally got up and let him in so he could 'tuck you in'."

Hermione was shocked by this. Harry doesn't have felling for me does he? I mean he is just being friendly, because he knew I was going to my parent's house today and that I needed a full night of sleep. He was just being nice, that's all. Yea nice. They were just some of the thoughts that entered Hermione's head before she got up because she knew that with this on her mind now, she would never be able to fall back asleep. So she got ready for the long trip home. The only reason why Dumbledore is letting her out of the school is because her parents have something 'important' to tell her and they want to spend some 'duality time' with their daughter. She arrived at her home and rang the door bell but no one answered. She rang it a second and third time but still no one. 'They must still be sleeping' she thought. Then she remembered that there was a spare key under the lawn gnome. She went to got it and let herself in.

"HELLO! IS THERE HERE!" she yelled out throughout the house. "Hum... I guess not...I go see if they left a note."

And sure enough there it was on the sparkling clean countertop.

It says:

Dear daughter,

We knew you would be early, but we had thing to do this morning and we just hope that we won't take to long. See you soon.

Love mom and dad

p.s. there is a visitor in your room sleeping so don't be too loud (you have probably already yelled and rung the doorbell a couple of times) and don't interrupt him.
