DISCLAIMER: IF I OWNED Harry POTTER I WOULD PUBLISH THIS INSTEAD OF THAT Rhr CRAP JKR'S DOIN! (no offence to jkr, I luv u 4 bringin Harry nd Hermione but Ron! Why why! why!)

"Harry…Harry… Harry wake up!" Ron Weasley waved his hand, distractingly in front of Harry's eyes.

"Eh?" He said, waking from a daydream.

"You were doing it again."

"Doing what? I wasn't doing anything?"

"Dude, you were staring again."

Harry sighed and held his head in his hands. "I know, I know. But I can't tell her, it'll ruin everything."

"You have to tell her; look at you, you're a mess."

"What if it doesn't work? What if she likes someone else?"

"It's your call Harry, but if you don't tell her, you'll wonder what would've happened if you did. You'll end up regretting it forever." With those last words he turned and disappeared up the spiral staircase.

He's right. I should tell her. Wow. Ron actually said something smart. Wait Harry, you're side tracking. Ok. Breathe in…breathe out. You can do this, you're Harry Potter for Christ's sake! Ok, so ill just walk over to her and say it.

He made up his mind and approached the girl who was concealed by the wall of text books that she chose to submerge herself in.

"Um…Hermione?

"Harry if you want to copy my charms notes again, NO!"

"No Hermione…it's…it's not that."

"Well then what is it? Is something wrong?"

"Well… I really like you and…was wondering…if you'd like to go out with me sometime."

"Oh. Oh Harry. Don't you know? I'm- I'm already going out with someone." Harry couldn't believe it. He was too late.

She stood up, leaving her quills and notes on the table. She brushed past him, lingering to rest her cheek upon his. She caught a tear and in turn spilled another. "I'm sorry." she whispered before turning into the girl's dormitory.

A/N: Awww poor Harrykins. More to come!
