A/N: I do not own anything just borrowing maybe!

Summary: Almost everyone that Hermione knows have someone already. While she was miserable her friends are happy. What others don't know, she was secretly in-love with Harry and she couldn't stand to see him with Cho Chang. She realized that waiting will not do her any good. She decided to change into someone better; she opened up to other suitors. She was almost into forgetting him when something happened….

Chapter 1: Unrequited Love

Hermione was sitting on a couch inside the Common Room. She was relaxing because

she just finished their weekend homeworks. Graduation is nearing that's why their

schedule is hectic. She closed her eyes, trying to make some sleep. After minutes later she heard the door opened. She opened her eyes to see who that was. Upon opening her eyes, she saw Harry. Her bestfriend, her companion and the only one man he loves.

"Hermione, I'm so happy!" he started.

"And why is that?" she asked.

"Well, you know about the party that'll be held next weekend, right?"

"Yup! What about that?"

"Cho and I are gonna go together at the party and well, of course I'm happy!" Harry said with sparkles in his eyes. She felt like something was piercing her heart. She would always have to control her tears whenever Harry will talk about how happy he is with Cho.

"Well…um…that's great! Excuse me Harry, I'm not feeling well…I'll just see you tomorrow then. Goodnight Harry." she said.

"Hermione…are you okay?" he asked with concern.

"I'm fine! Really…it's nothing." she answered then she went up to the dormitories.

Harry had been noticing that everytime he talks to Hermione about Cho, she would suddenly be silent. Hermione would always excuse herself then leave. If she wasn't tired or feeling well, she would say that she has loads of things to do. It was as if she was avoiding topics about Cho. He just doesn't know why but whatever it is… he has to know it as soon as possible.

Hermione was thankful that no one was there. She isn't feeling fine and she doesn't want anybody to see how miserable she is. She changed into her pajamas then she lied in the bed. She hid inside the blanket then she cried. It's as if her heart will explode. She remembered what she read in a magazine in their house…it said that "Unrequited love is the sweetest hell on earth…especially if the one you've fallen deeply in love with, is someone forbidden….like your bestfriend." Yes, she have unrequited love for Harry. Maybe that's why she turned down every single suitor that tried to court her. She was secretly waiting for Harry to give her attention more than just a friend. She was expecting him to return her love. But now that he had Cho, how could he give her any attention at all? Maybe it's time that she broaden her horizon. Not just revolving around friends, studies and Harry.

"But I love him, and I am willing to wait for him." she thought to herself. She just stayed at bed and then soon afterwards she drifted off to sleep.

Harry was now lying in his bed. He couldn't sleep because he was thinking. He couldn't get Hermione out of his head. He should be thinking about Cho, but why Hermione was the one stucked in is mind, he doesn't know. He was sure that he likes Cho. He was comfortable and happy with her.

"But does your heart leap everytime you see her? Does she make you catch your breath by just simply gazing at her? Does she make you feel like you don't want to leave a certain place simply because she is there and you don't want to go without her?" half of his mind is asking him these questions. Ironic but that's exactly how he feels when he is with Hermione.

"Damn…it's impossible!" Hermione is his friend and he doesn't want to ruin the friendship that they've been sharing all through these years. Whatever he is feeling right now, he was sure it is not healthy for both of them. He has to forget what he was feeling for their friendship is at stake…
