Prologue

Hermione Granger a fifteen year old protégé at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, walked out into the hall with her two best friends, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter. The three were invincible and could do anything. With Hermione's knack for memorizing and using spells, Ron's cool and collected comedy and Harry's sheer bravery in the midst of danger. Perhaps it was his bravery that Hermione first fell for.

It started as a crush like the ones we all have but Harry's kindness and fairness towards her reason to deeply and truly love gentle Harry. Hermione would never speak the three most powerful words in the human language to the one she held so dearly to her heart. The words I love you had never crossed her lips in fear of not getting the same reply. She thought it best to keep her emotions and feelings hidden and locked away from public view and ridicule. Hermione thought it better to keep her love secret and be near Harry then to show how she felt and be pushed away.

Little did Hermione know her fear of confession was shared by her one true love. Little did she know that Harry's kindness and fairness toward her came from his own feelings for Hermione hidden deep within his heart that he dare not let seep though to the surface.

Neither one of them could chance living without the other for a single moment. So, both decided the three most powerful words could never be spoken for fear of loosing the other. Until one fateful day when yet another who also held a love for Hermione, meddled to far and caused great tragedy amongst the two.
