Chapter 2: Feelings for You
Hermione woke up the next morning with a sore arm and neck as she looked around the room, blinking as she took everything in. She smiled when she saw Harry, who was still sleeping, looked peaceful. It was a beautiful day, the sunlight poked through the windows.
His face was expressionless and Hermione had to fight the urge to kiss him. She sighed and smiled as she looked at him. Oh Harry….What am I going to do with you? Hermione thought. You always get yourself injured, one way or another. But I can't be around you all the time, though I wish I could…
Hermione's thought trailed off when a certain someone stirred next to her on the bed. She looked up and rubbed his chest soothingly as she leaned in and kissed his cheek softly.
Harry opened his eyes and blinked, looking around. He reached out on the nightstand to look for his glasses, and put them on when he found them.
"Wha…Hermione?" Harry asked, confused. "Where am I?"
Hermione looked at him and blinked. "Well, don't you remember, Harry?" She asked. "You fell and hurt your arm. So I levitated you in here to the hospital wing." Hermione said, wondering what was wrong. What's wrong with Harry? Hermione thought, worried.
Harry put his glasses on and looked around, blinking as he tried to remember what had happened the day before. He sighed and laid his head back down on the pillow when he remembered what happened.
Harry put a hand on his forehead and sighed again. That was a pretty bad fall when I hit my head…He thought as he remembered what happened during his Quidditch practice yesterday.
Harry turned to Hermione and smiled, reaching over and put his hand on top of hers gently.
Hermione looked at him and her heart skipped a beat. "What…What's wrong, Harry?" She asked, concerned.
"It's ok, Mione…Don't worry about me. I'm fine." He lied, not wanting her to worry.
Thank you for caring though." He told her, smiling.
"You're welcome, Harry." Hermione nodded as she looked back at him and smiled.
Harry smiled and caressed her hand softly. Then he sat up and looked at her. "How many homework did I miss, Mione?" He asked, still holding her hand in his.
Hermione shook her head sadly. "I don't know…Since I missed class too, because I was staying here with you.
Harry blinked and looked at her. "But…But why, Mione?" He asked, surprised. "You usually don't miss class no matter what!"
Hermione blushed and hoped he didn't notice it. "Well, I fell asleep. Besides, I wanted to stay here with you, Harry." She told him.
What am I doing? Hermione thought as she looked into his eyes. Harry sighed and nodded as he looked back at her.
"Ok, Mione…Well, I'm going to have to see if I can get the assignments from Ron then." Said Harry.
Hermione smiled weakly and nodded. "Ok, Harry." She said, sighing.
At this moment, Madam Pomfrey walked into the room to check on Harry. "All better, mister Potter?" She asked.
Harry smiled and nodded. "Yeah, except my head still hurts." He said.
Madam Pomfrey walked over to him to take a look at him. "Ok, let's take a look see." Said the school nurse.
Harry smiled and nodded."Ok, Madam Pomfrey. Thank you!" He replied.
Hermione looked at him and frowned. "Why didn't you tell me that you had a headache, Harry?" She asked, concerned. "I was sick with worry about you!"
"Well, I didn't want to worry you further, Hermione." He told her.
Hermione looked at him and sighed, shaking her head. "You don't get it, do you, Harry?" She asked.
"No, I can't say I do, Mione." Harry confessed, shaking his head.
"Well, do what you want, Harry. But I'm not going to stick around to find out though." She told him.
At this, Hermione ran out of the infirmary, trying to hold back the tears that were fighting to come out.
Harry stared after her and sighed while Madam Pomfrey examined his head. "Well, what did you do, mister Potter?" the school nurse asked, with curiosity in her tone.
He sighed again and stared down at his lap."I told her that I was fine when I still had a headache, since I hit my head during the Quidditch practice yesterday." Harry explained.
Madam Pomfrey nodded as she listened while she checked to see if everything was alright with Harry's head.
"Ok, mister Potter…I didn't find anything that's terribly wrong with you. Except you have a broken heart to mend." Madam Pomfrey said.
Harry nodded, even though he didn't know what she meant. "Ok, Madam Pomfrey. Thank you!" he said. Madam Pomfrey smiled and shook her head as she went back to work.
Harry tried to look for Hermione in the school library after he got out of the hospital wing, but he couldn't find her.
He scratched his head and began to get worried. Mione, where are you? He thought, as he looked around frantically.
Hmmm...What did Madam Pomfrey mean when she said that I have a "broken heart to mend?" Who's broken heart do I have to mend? Harry wondered.
Suddenly, a hand came up and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey Harry!" a voice had said, which sounded cheerful.
Harry jumped as he snapped out of his thought and trance.
"Waaaahaaa!" He exclaimed and turned around to see who the voice belonged to.
He patted his chest and sighed a relief when he saw a red haired boy with freckles stared back at him, smiling. This was his other best friend, Ronald Weasley.
"Ron…Don't do that, ok? You scared me half to death!" Said Harry, both hands in front of chest as he was ready to choke his friend.
Ron laughed and leaned back, trying to get away from his best friend's grasp.
"I'm sorry …But blimey! You should've seen your face, Harry!" He told his friend apologetically, with a grin on his face.
Harry smiled wryly and nodded. "Sure, Ron. Just don't do it again, ok?" He asked.
"Do it again and I'll hex you!" Harry joked with a grin.
Ron nodded. "haha! Alright, Harry. You can hex me if I do it again." He replied, chuckling.
"So, what's going on? You looked like you were lost." Ron asked his best friend, concerned.
Harry sighed and shook his head. "I messed up, Ron." He said, looking down.
"What happened, mate?" Asked Ron, his hand on Harry's shoulder.
Harry sighed again as he looked at Ron. "I hurt her…" He said sadly.
Maybe this is what Madam Pomfrey meant when she said I got "a broken heart to mend." Harry thought. It's Hermione's broken heart that I have to mend.
Ron frowned and looked at his friend confused. "You hurt her? Who is this 'her,' Harry?" He asked.
"I hurt Hermione…" Harry told his red headed friend, feeling guilty.
"You what?" Asked Ron, appalled. "What did you go and do that for, Harry?!"
Ron had feelings for Hermione, but he got over it after he started going out with Luna. Though he still cared for Hermione as a friend and just wanted her to be happy.
Harry rubbed his forehead nervously and shook his head again. "Well, I didn't mean to though…" He said.
Ron grabbed his best friend's school robe in both of his fist. "Harry, I want an explanation and I want it NOW!" He demanded.
Harry nodded. "Ok." He replied, staring at the ground with his hands in his pocket.
Then Harry told his friend what had happened from his Quidditch practice the day before to what had happened that morning with Hermione at the school hospital wing.
Ron nodded as he listened attentively.
"Well, you shouldn't have lied, Harry!" Ron said. "You should have told her the truth!"
Harry nodded and sighed. "Yeah, I didn't want her to get more worried but I got her to get mad at me in the end. Which isn't how I wanted it to be…" he said, staring down at the ground.
Ron patted Harry shoulder again and smiled slightly. "Well, you know what you gotta do, mate!" He said.
"Yeah, you're right, Ron. I gotta go find her and apologize." Harry agreed, nodding. "But do you know where I can find her though?"
Ron thought for a minute and scratched his chin, with a frown on his eyebrows. "Now that you mention it, I did see her running towards the Common Room looking pretty upset." He told his friend.
"I tried to talk to her, but she didn't say anything...She just ran past me towards the Head Boy/Girl's common room." Said Ron.
Harry nodded sullenly and sighed. "Ok. Well, I gotta go and find her before she does something she'll regret." He said.
Ron scoffed and nodded." Haha! Yeah…Especially with that brain of hers, she can think of anything to do when she's like this." He agreed.
Harry nodded and started to run towards the Gryffindor Head Boy/Girl common room.
"Good luck, Harry!" Ron shouted, grinning. Harry ran backwards and waved at his friend as he smiled. "Sure, Ron!" He shouted back. Then Harry spun around and raced towards the common room to find Hermione.
Please let her be alright, please let her be alright. Harry thought as he ran.
He said the password and pushed past the door, looking around.
Mione, where are you? Please be alright! Harry hoped.
He heard a sniffle in a corner and rushed towards it. Harry sighed as he found her scrunched up in the corner, sobbing. Harry's heart sank when he saw her as he walked forward and knelt in front of her. "Mione…" he said, seeing her wand on the floor beside her.
"What's this?" Harry asked, picking up her wand on the floor.
She shook her head and looked away, grabbing her wand out of his hand. "Nothing." Hermione replied, then she didn't say anything else to him anymore.
Harry reached up and brushed her cheek softly with the back of his hand. "Mione…" He said again, softer this time. "…I'm sorry that I lied." Said Harry, apologetically.
Hermione still looked away and didn't say anything, while tears still streamed down her cheeks.
Harry sighed and conjured up a handkerchief as he used it to dub at her cheek gently. "I didn't want you to worry further…" He explained.
She buried her face into her lap and sighed, then suddenly she looked up at him. "You hurt me, Harry!" Hermione said, her eyes were still red from crying.
Harry nodded sadly and looked at her, reaching over as he caressed her hand gently.
"I know, Mione…I'm sorry." He said again. "But I didn't mean to."
Tears continued to flowed down Hermione's cheeks as she looked at him. "I know you didn't mean to, but you did." She said with a sigh.
He reached over and put his hand on top of hers, caressing it softly. "I really am sorry, Mione…Please forgive me?" Harry asked pleadingly.
Hermione frowned and looked at him. "You don't get it, do you?" She asked. "Look, I don't mind you telling me problems as long as you tell me the truth, Harry!" She told him, sniffling as more tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Mione, I…" Said Harry, feeling speechless.
Hermione looked at him and shook her head with a sigh. "Forget it, Harry…Just leave me alone, please?" She asked and stood up, putting her wand into her back pocket.
She looked at him one more time before she ran up the stairs, towards the Head Girl's dorm.
Hermione ran to her dorm, said the password and went straight to her bed as she sobbed.
Boys are so dense! She thought sadly as she felt her heart was being squeezed tight that she couldn't breathe.
Especially when he's Harry Potter! Hermione sobbed and grabbed a handful of her shirt in front of her chest.
Tears dripped down Hermione's cheeks since her heart felt as if it were being ripped apart; She loved him, but she didn't know he had that much power over her.
Hermione sighed as she went out to the hallway bathroom to get herself cleaned up. She dried her face and went back to her dorm again, laying on her bed on her back.
Hermione stared up at the ceiling and felt drowsy. She yawned as she drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
Harry sighed and walked up the stairs after Hermione had disappeared into her room. He stood in front of it as he sighed again.
Harry hung his head and thought for a moment, then he walked out of the common room with an idea in his head.
He walked towards the school library to find Ron.
