Hey everyone, this is my first fan fic. I have the whole story written so I'll keep posting chapter by chapter until all the chapters are posted butI won't post untilI get a lot of reviews.

I don't own Harry Potter, unfortunately, so everything you recognize isn't mine.

Chapter 1: Betrayal

The Gryffindor fire warmed the common room as Hermione and Harry sat on the couch side by side. Her head was leaning comfortably on his shoulder and he had her hand in his, stroking it warmly. This was bliss to Hermione, she was with the one person that made her feel wonderful; the one person, in Hermione's eyes that would never do anything to hurt or harm her. Hermione had put her full trust in her two best friends, but she would trust Harry with her life. Everything was perfect for her.

She quickly fell asleep on Harry's shoulder until she felt a small shove on her left side.

"What is it Harry?", she asked as she woke up.

"I just wanted you to go up in your bed instead of falling asleep on my shoulder, you would be more comfortable in your own bed." Harry replied smiling down at the young girl.

"What are you talking about Harry? I'm very comfortable here, but since as we might not wake in time for classes tomorrow, I'll go on up to bed. I'll see you tomorrow, Harry. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Hermione." Harry said giving her a small peck on the lips.

She smiled walking up to her bedroom. I don't want this bliss to go away. I wish things could stay like this forever, she thought while changing into her nightclothes and slipping into bed. I just wish everything could remain the same.

Hermione woke up to the chirping of birds just outside her window. She got up and dressed. Walking down the stairs in the common room, she noticed that no one was around. Maybe everyone has gone down to breakfast already, she thought. But then the thought of Harry leaving her while he ate didn't seem to be Harry at all. Shrugging, she walked out of the portrait hole and continued on for the great hall. When she entered she spotted her two best friends, Ron and Ginny, as well as Harry. Harry was no longer her best friend, but much, much more.

Sitting down across from Ron and Ginny she glared at them trying to rack her brain thinking of reasons they would have left her in the dormitory while they ate, but she unsuccessfully came up with none.

"Why didn't you all wait for me to come down, before you went to the great hall?" Hermione asked annoyed.

Suddenly Harry and Ginny turned their faces towards Ron who looked down.

"Well Hermione, I was really hungry and I persuaded everyone else to come down with me. In fact Harry was insisting on staying and waiting for you, but I didn't want to eat alone." Ron replied with a bright red face that matched his ginger hair.

Hermione couldn't help but laugh. "It's ok Ron, but I really don't like to be left alone either. It would have been nice if you had actually waited instead of leaving me."

"Sorry 'Mione."

"It's ok." Hermione answered smiling at her best friend.

The rest of the day passed by without anything out of the ordinary. Malfoy continued his famous taunts and Neville almost caused an explosion in Potions, but nothing abnormal, so when Hermione couldn't find Harry at the end of the day, she began to panic.

"Ron, have you seen Harry?" Hermione asked Ron hoping he had some idea where Harry was.

"No, I haven't seen him since we got back from Potions." He replied

"I'm starting to get worried, I mean what if Malfoy did something to him?"

"I'm sure he's ok. He knows how to defend himself. Don't forget about the many times he fought You Know Who."

"Yeah, I guess your right, but it wouldn't hurt if I got his Marauder's map and checked on him, you don't think he would mind, would he? I'm just going to check where he is."

"Sure if you want to."

Hermione slowly ascended the stairs to Ron and Harry's dormitory. As she walked in, she noticed how messy these boys were. The beds weren't made and clothes were thrown all over the floor. Hermione quickly walked over to the truck still debating whether or not she should really use Harry's map to find him, but she was really getting worried. She opened his trunk and pushed aside some of Harry's spell books trying to find the map. Finally she spotted it and tapped it with her wand whispering, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." After a couple of seconds waiting for the map to appear, Hermione searched for tiny print indicating where Harry was located. She soon found it, but what she saw next surprised her. She saw Ginny's name right next to Harry, as close as humanly possible, and they were in the room of requirement. With anger surging through Hermione like electricity she quickly shut the map back in the truck and sprinted down the dorm steps and out the common room with Ron yelling behind her asking her what was wrong.

Hermione was soon at the Room of Requirement within minutes with Ron at her heels. As she opened the door, she gasped in shock, while Ron stared at what was before him. In the room Harry and Ginny were both in a bed naked. As Hermione gasped they both looked up and grabbed the sheets to cover themselves. Ginny just sat there staring at Hermione and Ron, while Harry attempted to justify why he was in bed with Ginny.

"Hermione, its not what you think." Harry managed to get out. "It's not what it looks like."

Hermione couldn't speak. She felt as if her mouth felt so dry and her feet were bolted down to the floor. Suddenly as if her feet became unstuck, she turned around and ran. Harry jumped out of bed, grabbed his pants and ran after her, but when he got out into the corridor, she was gone.
