I stared into his big green eyes and sighed. He was so attractive. He sat at the end of the table, in the popular group. I blushed as he looked over and smiled at me. He might have noticed me. This moment was perfect.

Then, I got hit in the head as an apple.

"What the HECK was that for?" I shrieked. Ron and Neville sat across the table laughing and pointing at each other. I gave them both a look and they stopped.

"I'm sorry Hermione." Ron chimed.

"Yea Mum. We're sorry…" Neville giggled. I grabbed the apple and threw it back at him.

"You're both asses. Now, why did you guys do that?" I said.

"You were makin' googly eyes at Mr. Harry Popular over there. It was making us sick." Ron gumbled.

"I wasn't making googly eyes! Anyways…. whats up?" I said, changing the subject.

We sat there for the rest of dinner, and talked about Professor Snape's HUGE pimple on his nose. When it was time to get ready for bed, We all ran to the common room, to see how who was the fastest. I was first, Ron was second, and poor Neville was last. We were dieing of laughter when Neville came in, tumbling over and panting.

" I think you had one two many cupcakes Neville." Ron laughed out. I chuckled and walked towards the girls room. Ron gave me a good-bye wave and walked with Neville up to the boy's room. I laughed. Those two were my best friends, I didn't know what my life would be without them.

I changed into my pajamas and picked up my book. I had finished my homework already, so I had time to read. I had peace and quiet, when the other girls walked in. They were gabbing about boys, tests, boys, clothes, and of course BOYS. I really didn't want to talk about that topic, so I looked at my watch. 10:13. I didn't need to be in bed until 12:00. I walked to the common room. I loved reading in front of the fire, usually because no-ones there. Well, there usually wasn't anyone here. I turned around the corner, and saw him. He was doing homework sitting in front of the fire. I swallowed a large gasp of air. I looked at my pajamas. I was wearing a light blue tank (with a bra) and red and light blue plaid bottoms. oh my god, Hermione. Why are you doing this… I thought. I walked out and sat at the opposite end of the red sofa. He looked up and saw me. I turned my head a bit and saw him staring at me. I looked down and went back to reading.

"Hello." Harry said I turned my head and smiled.

"Hi." I spit out.

"Hi. I'm Harry." He said.

"I'm Hermione Granger. It's nice to meet you." I smiled. I built up self confidence, slowly.

"Nice to meet you Hermione. Whatchya reading?" He asked. I look at the front of my book and read the title.

"Um The History Of Hogwarts. What are you doing?" I muttered. why do you have to be a book nerd Hermione?

"Oh I read that before! I'm doing Divination homework." Harry said.

"Oh I hate that class! It's a bunch of rubbish." I said. He chuckled and smiled.

"Yea, Professor Trelawney is a bit of a nut." He said. We both got back to our business and the chimes saying it was 12:00 rang out.

"Shit." We whispered at the same time. We ran toward out doors .

"Bye Hermione!" Harry yelled. We ran up the stairs and made it to bed in time. I thought of the night, and fell asleep with a smile on my face that night.
