Just A Normal Friday Night
It was just a normal Friday night at Hogwarts. All the students had reported back to their common
rooms for the night. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting in the big chairs, staring into the fire.
After a half hour, Ron finally spoke up. "I'm hella bored." Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron and said
"Oh, well done Ron! You've actually realized something! Good for you!" "God, 'Mione. It's better
than staring off into space." Once again Hermione rolled her eyes and continued staring into the fire.
Harry grinned at his two best friends. "There is never a day that goes by without an argument," he
thought. He brought his gaze to Hermione, admiring how the fire reflected in her chocolate eyes.
Harry hadn't realized he was staring until he heard a "Harry? Are you alright?" Harry snapped out of
his gaze to find a blushing Hermione looking at him with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Yeah...yeah I was just, uh, thinking bout stuff." Harry said quickly. He glanced at Ron, who looked
as if he were about to start laughing. Ron, along with Harry's other friends Seamus, Dean, and Neville,
had known that Harry had secretly liked Hermione since their 5th year (A/N: This is their 6th year).
Hermione, who was beginning to feel uncomfortable, stood up from her chair and said "I, uh...I think
I'll go up bed. 'Night, guys." "Night, Hermione," Ron said. "Night," Harry said quietly, embarrassed
from what had happened only minutes ago. As Hermione disappeared up the staircase, Ron turned to
Harry grinning sheepishly. "Alright, mate? You practically blew that one. What were you thinking,
staring at her like that?" Harry hesitated for a moment. "I dunno. One minute I take a short look at
her, and the next...she's looking at me like I'm an idiot because I can't keep my eyes off her." Ron
shook his head and stood up to go to his room. Before he started up the stairs, Ron turned around and
said," Harry, your in love, you prat!" and headed to bed. Harry sat thinking for a minute, then followed Ron up
the staircase.
A/N: So what do you think? R&R, no flames! Chap. 2 will be up soon.
