A/N: Finally, a story that isn't late! In fact, I may have written this is somewhere around 2 hours. It's supposed to be a drabble, for the 30 Drabbles in 30 Days challenge by Mystii, but I'm not sure if 300-something words counts as a drabble. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I wish I was JKR. Unfortunately, as I don't have a magic lamp, I'm still just Corinne, which means that I own nothing.

Also, the prompt for today's challenge was sapphires. I hope you don't mind that it was only briefly mentioned.

Hermione had stayed up half the night doing homework. Not because she had a lot of it, but because she really just couldn't sleep. Something was bothering her, and she didn't know what it was. That was the worst part of the whole thing, not knowing. There was nothing she didn't know except, apparently, herself.

She had finally fallen asleep, though, in the wee hours of the morning when her body couldn't take being awake anymore. And because she had simply allowed herself to fall asleep then, she hadn't quite made it up to her room. In fact, she was still lying on the couch in the common room when Ginny roughly shook her awake.

"You might want to go up to your room. People are going to start coming down soon, and you sort of look like hell."

"Well, there's no need to protect my feelings, Gin," she said, touching her hair.

Ginny laughed. "I know," she said, helping her friend up. "Now get upstairs and make yourself presentable."

Hermione was late for breakfast, and it was obvious that Harry and Ron had noticed. At least, it was if the way they watched her when she walked in was any indication. When she sat down and they were still staring, she looked at Ginny and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"You've just never been late for anything before," she replied.

"Where were you?" Ron asked, his blue eyes searching hers for an explanation, and she suddenly felt better, like whatever it was that was bothering her disappeared when he looked at her.

"I was just getting dressed and everything." She thought about his eyes. They were such a pretty blue.

"She was up really late last night. Why is that, by the way?"

"I was doing homework." They weren't quite sapphire. A little lighter, maybe. Why was she even thinking about this?

"You still have homework to do?"

"Yes, I guess I do," she said, distracted by her thoughts. "I mean, I did."

"Someone's a little distracted this morning," Ginny said, almost under her breath.

Hermione glared at her. "Don't start with me Ginevra Molly Weasley."

Ginny laughed, nearly shocked by the use of her full name. Both boys just stared at them.

Hermione stood abruptly. "I think it's time for class."

"Classes don't start for nearly fifteen minutes," Ginny said smugly.

"Then I'm going to go wait for class to start." And with that she walked away, with Ginny giggling behind her, and the boys still wondering what had just happened.
