"Harry" yelled Hermonie seeing him hit the floor.

"Shut up you stupid girl!" A cold voice said in the dark

With a flash of white light Hermonie was flung backward leaving a gash across her stomach.

"Hermonie!" Harry ran over to her and laid a hand on her head. Knocked out cold.

"What have you done to her!"

"Nothing concerning YOU, Harry Potter" The cold voice spoke again

There was a red blaze that lit up the whole room.

--------------

Hermonie woke startled and yelped in pain as what she had seen was a few hours ago. She sat there on the common room couch clenching her stomach, her clothes red from blood. Harry has noticed she was awake and rushed over and sat down next to her. Breathing heavy he tried to calm her.

"It's alright Hermonie, I'm here, what's wrong?" Harry whispered as it was night.

"Harry?" She said faintly,

"Harry!" she said as though she had just recognized him

"Harry!" she said louder, "Where's V-Voldermort! What has happened? Are you okay? Where are we?"

Harry cut her off and put his arm around her and hugged her.

"It's okay Hermonie, Voldermort is gone, we're in the common room"

She looked around and figured out they WERE in the common room.

"How did we get here?" She asked him and stared at Harry in confusion waiting for an answer.

"You mean how did YOU get here, Hermonie?" Harry said with a part smile raising from the corner of his mouth.

A faint smile appeared on Hermonie's face and gave a small laugh but then winced and put her hand to her stomach.

Harry's smile went away from his face and he lowered his head to her level.

"I carried you back here Hermonie, you thought I was just going to leave you back at his layer?? You thought wrong you silly girl."

The smile reappeared onto Harry's face. And so did Hermonie's.

"Harry… your so good to me, you make me laugh and smile in the darkest of times". She had to admit it to him. What is happening to me she thought to herself. I feel…weird. She loved him. She knew it. Harry leaned closer to her.

"Hermonie, I would never let anything happen to you." He whispered softly into her ear.

"I think I knew that" she said softly, looking at the floor.

Harry took his hand and placed it gently under her chin, lifting her head up to face him.

She looked into his gray eyes. As Harry stared back admiring her face.

She pulled back and flinched , returning back to being crunched over and tightening her grip on her stomach.

Harry lifted her face up to him.

He slid his hand lightly down her face as Hermonie watched his hand go down. Then to her shoulders, then to her waist and pulled her closer.

Hermonie put her hand to his face along with leaning in and kissing him passionately on the lips.

She broke the kiss when her stomach sent a sharp pain into her chest. She pulled back, looking down, her eyes closed tight. After a second, she had realized what she had just done. She had kissed Harry. Her eyes shot open and she looked up to find him still staring at her.

"I…I'm…Harry…I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry!" She burst into tears.

"Why are you so sorry? What wrong?" Harry asked looking at her worried.

Between the tears Harry managed to figure out what she was saying.

"Harry, I kissed you! I kissed you Harry! You're with Cho! You like Cho! I'm so ashamed! You must think I'm awful for doing that to you!"

"Hermonie! It's okay, really it is!…I'd rather be with you" Harry confessed to her.

But she didn't hear him.

She got up and started for the common room door. Harry was still on the couch trying to think of how he could explain that he liked HER. Then it came to him.

Hermonie ran, she bleeding, cut, what has she done??!

Harry ran after her but he was too late, he didn't see where she went, he searched and searched the corridors of Hogwarts. No sign of her.

Where could she have gone? Harry thinking.

He ran to the entrance of Hogwarts and opened the doors to reveal the cold snowy outside.

He opened the doors and there he saw her. She was half jogging but slowing down.

All of a sudden she fell, hitting the ground.

NO! Harry screamed in his head.

He ran and keeled to her side in the snow. He grabbed her wrist and put his head to her chest.

Don't let her be, please, please, don't let her be dead. Harry yelled in his head. Starting to cry.

A pulse, a heartbeat, Harry lifted his head in relief, she wasn't dead, no she wasn't.

She passed out. Harry knew. She couldn't handle it, it was taking up too much energy that she didn't have.

"Wake up Hermonie, please wake up" Harry said quietly to himself in the night. Holding her and rocking her back and forth.

A tear fell from Harry's face and landed on her cheek

" I won't let you go, I'll look after you" He whispered

"I promise"
