Hermione sat in the common room, as usual, slouched over a mixture of books and parchment doing her homework. Well at least that what people who saw her there in the warm, cosy common room of gryffindor thought. But truthfully hermione couldn't concentrate. She had other things on her mind. The main thing though was her crush. Her long crush of the past few years. Her long crush that happened to be one of her best friends, Harry potter.
She sat there in her corner of the large table watching Harry and Ron play a game of wizard chess. She adored everything about harry. The way he always grinned mischievously when he and Ron thought of a new trick to play on people. The way he was able to make her smile and cheer up when she wasn't feeling well. The look on his face he had at the moment- of pure concentration, determined to beat Ron at this game of chess for once. She let out of sigh of pure content thinking about harry. Then she started thinking sensible. Get over yourself hermione she thought. Like he would ever think like that about you. Come on he has a girlfriend! Oh yeah his girlfriend hermione thought. Cho bloody Chang. Ugh u hate her soooo much! She is soo lucky and I don't think she really knows how lucky she is. She doesn't like him half as much as I do. She doesn't appreciate him either. She just treats him like a trophy, but he hasn't noticed yet.
I hate feeling like this, hermione thought its so annoying feeling this and never being sure if the person of your affections feels for you as much. Only one person knows about my feeling towards harry and that's Ron. He a great friend. He's always there when I'm down about harry and Cho. I remember when he was there for me when I strangely got really upset at the last Halloween ball and that was only a few weeks ago. I just couldn't bare the sight of harry and Cho kissing like that. I wanted to be kissing him like that. All hot and passionate. I stormed out of the hall not being able to take much more.
Ron came after me and comforted me on the steps at the front of the school. I remember how I told him that lavender was very lucky to have Ron if this is what he's like with me. Oh, and I remember how he told me I was like a sister to him and he cared for me so much. I cried for ages after he said that. Oh no! I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes now thinking about it. Oh no Ron's just looked up at me!
" Are you ok herm?" Ron asked giving me a worried look. This promptly made harry look up to after moving his piece.
"Herm what's wrong?" he asked concerned
If only you knew I thought.
"Oh… erm... Nothing I'm ok," I said quickly. Oh god was that too quickly?
" Are you sure you look like you're about to cry? Has something upset you?" harry continued
" No. Really its ok I'm just tired that's all. I think I might go to bed."
" Herm its only 8.30" Ron stated giving me a funny look. Then it suddenly dawned on him what I might be upset about. " Well never mind I hope you sleep well" he said quickly but concerned.
"Thanks" I said standing up to gather my books and school stuff together. "Night yous two" and said smiling briefly at them both trying to avoid looking into Harry's eyes that were staring at me intently. Oh god he knows something else is up. Why can't I lie properly? Arrrghhh! I quickly ran up the stairs to my dormitory and quickly slumped onto my bed with me books still in my arms. I don't think I can handle this much longer. It really seems to be getting to me much more now a days. Hmmm what if I stay away from him? Maybe I won't feel such strong things towards him? No I can't do that! I need my harry fix. God hermione what on earth is a harry fix? Im going mad I mumbled out loud.
" You sure are if you're talking to yourself hermione"
"Lavender? I didn't know you were in here," I said shocked jumping up off my bed.
" So what's up then herm u seemed really down about something" lavender asked quizzically. God its it that easy to spot? No wonder harry was staring at me like that.
"Oh nothing really. You know school stuff. Exams, homework blah blah blah." I said hoping that she would drop the subject. And she did thank god. I know what lavenders like she'll quiz you forever about some things. I soon changed into my pj's and settled won in bed with my favourite book and a mug of hot chocolate. But I couldn't seem to concentrate. I kept drifting of and imagining the things me and harry would do if we went out. Strolling along a beach hand in hand laughing. Me lying on his chest in a park in the summer with him twirling my hair. Just being together basically.
"Lavender how did u and Ron get together?" I asked after a while.
" It was just after the final quidditch game last year as you know. Harry had just caught the snitch after a really long game. Ron was ecstatic as they had beaten slytherin to win the quidditch cup and it was his first season as keeper. I remember jumping and screaming for joy when they won. I had liked Ron for ages before. And I remember during the fourth year when harry asked padam to the Yule ball and then asked if I would go with Ron. I was soo upset that I had already agreed to go with Seamus. But Ron came over and smiled his big goofy grin at me and literally swiped me off my feet and onto the back of hiss broom. It was only when we landed he turned to me and gave the best kiss to date. Sigh I love him soo much" lavender explained drifting further and further away as she told her story. "Why do you ask" lavender said shaking her head of her thoughts.
" No reason it's just really sweet that you two have it other. I tell Ron all the time that you're very lucky." Hermione smiled at her friend
"Thanks hermione. Your really nice to say that." Lavender smiled.
"Its ok. Night lavender"
"Night herm"
Hermione turned and switched of her lamp. And soon she was in a deep sleep thinking about her crush yet again.
