Hello, everyone. Thank you for all those wonderful readers who read my story. And a very, very big thank for everyone who reviewed.

Since all the reviewers have requested I've decided to add some more chapters. I'm sorry if this is not up to your expectations, but I hope it is cause I tried.

So here is the second chapter. And I decided to add songs to every chapter since there was one in first chapter too. 'Because of you' by Ne-Yo is this chap's song.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or the song 'Because of you'.

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."

― Dr. Seuss

Harry was clearly confused of what to do. He liked two girls at the same time and now he had no idea what to do.

Harry knew he should not like two girls at the same time because he couldn't have a harem here. No one would let him do that plus it made him feel like a playboy. But he was no playboy. He wouldn't play with girls' feelings. He would never play with his best female friend's feelings even if he was offered gold.

'So, what should I do?'

'Ginny or Hermione?'

So, yes, Ginny and Hermione had been the girls who caused Harry this headache.

Ginny had been in Harry's mind for a while. Well she was an attractive girl, who wouldn't like her? She was smart, beautiful and even played Qudditch. Those qualities of her got Harry's attention to her. She was not that little shy girl who couldn't even utter a single word to Harry anymore. She had grown up. She had been more confident these days. She stood proudly and did her work like she owned the place. Lots of boys liked her. Unlike Hermione. She was the complete opposite of Hermione. Wasn't she?

And Hermione. One of Harry's best friends who had been in Harry's mind…

Since when? Since the day she kissed him? Only for two weeks?

Want to, but I can't help it
I love the way it feels,
It's got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real
I need it when I want it, I want it when I don't
Tell myself I'll stop everyday, knowin' that I won't

No. Not. At. All. She was always in Harry's mind; after all she was one of his best friends.

And the story goes back to their first year.

Harry had a crush on Hermione back then. A sweet crush that included looking at her secretly, hoping and dreaming of her and trying to be perfect for her. Just an innocent crush that didn't include wild thoughts, admiring her body, peeking at her breast and butt, thinking of how she would look without any clothes and sex.

He didn't know how to tell Hermione about this crush back then. Maybe he, who was just eleven, was scared since she didn't show any kind of interest in him or maybe he was just shy. Or maybe he was okay with just by dreaming and hoping. However he didn't tell anyone about that crush that year.

Then the second year came. That innocent crush had grown into something more. It included wanting to kiss her and touch her. And he first felt jealousy because of a girl that year. Professor Lockhart had won the attention of Hermione. It annoyed him. That was the main reason Harry didn't like Professor Lockhart. When Hermione was petrified that year he felt darkness, like he lost a part of him. He wanted to get her back. So, he tried and he was successful. He learned two things that year. Hermione's hug was warm and he liked it very much. It made him want more hugs from her. And the other thing was that Ron seemed to like Hermione too. It left him with two choices. He should tell Hermione how he felt immediately or get over this crush.

I got a problem and I don't know what to do about it
Even if I did, I don't know if I would quit but I doubt it
I'm taken by the thought of it, and I know this much is true
Baby, you have become my addiction, I'm so strung out on you
I can barely move but I like it

That summer he became thirteen, he got to know that Ron liked Hermione too. Harry thought about what to do. If he continued liking Hermione he would lose Ron's friendship. And it seemed Hermione didn't like him back, so if he confessed it would ruin their friendship too. So, he should just get over this crush. Those were his thoughts back then.

So in third year he ignored his feelings and it became easier as Hermione seemed to show some interest in Ron that time too. And that's when Cho came into the picture. The first day he saw her he felt his heart jump just like it did back then with Hermione. He thought he had gotten over his crush.

Then came the fourth year. He tried to make Cho like him. But, when he was chosen to the TriWizard Tournament, when even his best friend didn't trust him, Hermione stayed by his side helping him in every way she can. It made all those feelings he had come back. They weren't gone. They were hidden as he tried to ignore them. Again came the love triangle. Harry/Hermione/Ron. Harry thought he didn't have any chance. He thought Ron and Hermione liked each other. So that's why when the Yule ball was first mentioned even though the first girl came into his mind was Hermione, he tried to get Cho. At the Yule Ball he again felt jealous when he saw Hermione with Victor Crum. He was angry at Cedric for getting Cho, for having what he wanted. But in this case he was angry with Hermione for not wanting him.

Summer that came following was the worst Summer Harry ever had. No letters, no information from any of his best friends. It hurt. He was heartbroken thinking Hermione had forgotten him. And Ron too. He was furious. It didn't help that they had an explanation. And when he wasn't chosen to be a prefect his anger got more, but he was satisfied to see Hermione disappointed because he wasn't a prefect.

Then Cho and him got together. When they first kissed, when he was sad thinking it didn't go well Hermione said something that surprised him.

"I'm sure Harry's kissing is more than just satisfactory."

That time the words, 'wanna see?' came to his mouth. But he bit back those words and it made him happy that Hermione thought his kissing was more than just satisfactory.

On Cho's and Harry's first date when Cho blamed him for always choosing Hermione he wasn't angry at Hermione for ruining their date. No, he was angry at Cho.

Now, this year Ginny had been able to keep his mind out of Hermione most the times. Well that wasn't exactly the truth. He tried to keep his mind off from Hermione by thinking about Ginny more and more.

He was good at it.

But now two weeks ago Hermione had kissed him making a way to all those feelings to be free.

That sweet and innocent crush had grown into something bigger, something more within the time. It had grown into love.

Love is strange. It comes and goes. Sometimes we don't even know that we are in love. It makes us want to protect our loved one. It gives us strength to die for him/her. It gives us courage to live for them. It makes us happy just by small things. It also makes us sad just because of small things. Sometimes it makes us vulnerable. True love is not just kissing and making love. It is caring and sharing. It is not perfect, never perfect. But we all wait for love, we all crave for love.

And Harry didn't even know that he was a victim of love.

Every time he found himself admiring Hermione's beauty, every time he found himself blushing under her gaze he questioned himself why. But deep down he knew that his crush was still there.

And now it seemed Hermione liked him too. So what was the problem, then? Ah, he liked Ginny too.

And it's all because of you
And it's all because…
Never get enough,
She's the sweetest drug

'Ah, what should I do?'

Harry hit his head on the desk, wanting to scream.

"Mr. Potter, hitting your head on your desk doesn't give you answers for your problems. Maybe you want our assistance to find out a solution for your problems, that's why you're not paying attention to the lesson. Right? So why don't you stand up and confess all your problems."

Harry looked at Professor McGonagall with a 'are you crazy, woman' look. Of course he was in class; he didn't have enough time these days as he had been busy with his homework and Qudditch Practice. He always recommended class room as a good place to daydream.

"I said stand up, Mr. Potter"

"But-"

"Stand up"

Harry stood.

"Now, listen, Potter. I don't want any kind of distractions in my lessons. I know you have been pretty busy lately, but that doesn't mean you can use this time to find solutions for some stupid problem. NEWTs are coming next year and if you keep acting like this you won't be able to pass the exam. That means you have to give up your dream of being an Auror. If you want that then I would like you to quit this subject. Am I understood, Harry?"

"Yes"

"Good, now sit down."

Ron and Hermione, who were sitting beside him, looked at Harry.

"Hey, mate. You okay?" Ron whispered.

"Yeah, Harry. Are you alright?" Hermione whispered.

'Huh'

"Okay, Hermione? You ask I'm okay? Okay? No, Hermione, I'm not OKAY. And you of all people ask me that. Puh." Harry shouted, standing up. Well, who could blame Harry? Hermione kissed him, but then acted like nothing happened, and Harry had been waiting for her to bring up that since he thought talking with her would give him a solution. And now she, who always ignored him for the past two weeks, who always ran saying some excuse when he came, asked him whether he was okay or not. Who wouldn't blow up?

Harry looked around. The whole class was staring at him.

"Detention, Mr. Potter, detention afterwards, and now SIT DOWN."

Harry sat down and hid his face in his hands.

Lavender and Parvati burst out laughing. Hermione and Professor McGonagall glared at them.

Think of it every second
I can't get nothing done,
Only concern is the next time, I'm gonna get me some
Know I should stay away from, cause it's no good for me
I try and try but my obsession wont let me leave

Hermione felt guilty. After all it was her fault. But a tiny part of her was happy that she was able to make Harry think this hard. But it also scared her.

'What am I thinking? No, no I have given up, it's over. Harry's just thinking about how to tell me that he's sorry without breaking my heart. And haven't I made it easier to him by not bringing that subject up? So why did he explode? Is it because… No, no, no that couldn't be.'

Then that period ended.

Lavender and Parvati who were hoping to catch Hermione before she goes to the main hall stood near the door.

"Ughh. That stupid girl, what is she thinking? When we thought finally they got together she starts acting like nothing happened. No wonder Harry's angry." Lavender said while waiting.

"Yeah, I wonder why Hermione said that she had given up last time." Parvati said.

"Gave up, gave up? Yeah, right."

"Lavender, what is your real motive behind this?"

"What, what motive?"

"Oh, c'mon spit it out."

"Okay, okay. You know when Hermione's out of the way I can just jump forward and make Ron mine."

"How opportunistic?!"

"Hey, that's just a reason why I want them together. There are other reasons too like they look good together and I like to play the matchmaker."

"Yeah, yeah, oh Hermione!" Parvati called out to Hermione.

Hermione slowly tried to sneak away but Lavender caught her.

"Come with us, idiot." She whispered. Parvati got Hermione's other hand and dragged her with them.

Soon they were in an empty classroom.

Oh, how much Hermione hated those empty rooms.

"Okay, don't try to escape Hermione." Lavender started.

"I won't" Hermione sat on a chair with a huff.

"Just what do you think you're doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Ahhh, please do not annoy me more than I am."

"I told you I gave up."

"But why?" Parvati asked.

"Oh, don't believe her, Parvati. You know that day she kissed Harry, she said she wouldn't do 'these things' but the same night she went and kissed Harry. She says she gave up but tonight she'd come and say that they got together and maybe tomorrow she'd say they broke up and tomorrow night she'd say she's marrying Harry."

Parvati laughed making Lavender roll her eyes.

"Hey" Hermione cried. "It's not like that. I know I said that, but that time I didn't want to give up. Later when I decided to give up I thought that I'd make a move and give up, so I can be satisfied."

"So, are you satisfied now?"

"Yes" Hermione answered after a pause.

"You hesitated to answer that means 'no'."

"What, no? No."

"Okay, let's think you are but do you think Harry is satisfied with that?"

"Err,"

"You kiss him and then act like nothing happened."

"I'm making it easier for him. I don't want to go through a rejection and this way he doesn't have to worry about saying sorry."

"IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK, IDIOT? WHY DO THEY CALL YOU SMART, HERMIONE WHEN YOU'RE AN IDIOT?"

"Lavender!" Parvati shouted.

"I'M NOT AN IDIOT. HE LIKES GINNY, NOT ME. CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?"

"OH, I CAN PERFECTLY SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. YOU'RE THE BLIND ONE HERE WHO CAN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN HARRY'S MIND. Harry is confused and he even got blamed today, do you think that's because he's trying to find out a nice way to reject you? HUH? DO YOU?"

"Lavender!" Paravti shouted again.

"YOU GIVE UP AFTER TURNING THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN, HERMIONE. THAT'S CALLED SELFISHNESS."

"LAVENDER!" Parvati shouted at the top of her lungs.

'Thanks, god this is an empty classroom.' Hermione thought.

"LAVENDER, SHUT UP. AND YOU HERMIONE, YOU CREATED THIS MESS AND DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY FROM THAT EASILY. THAT'S CALLED RUNNING AWAY AND WE GRYFFINDORS NEVER RUN AWAY. SO YOU TRY AND FIX THIS UP. JUST TELL HIM YOUR FEELINGS. OR WE WOULD. UNDERSTAND?"

Silence took over the empty classroom till Lavender started laughing.

Soon all of them were laughing.

Suddenly an unexpected guest interrupted them.

"Hermione"

"Harry!" All three girls shouted at the same time.

"Um, Hermione, can we talk?"

"Of course Harry but I'm hungry."

"No worries, I brought your lunch."

"Oh" Hermione chuckled nervously.

"Well, then you two can have your little talk here. We're going. See ya!" Lavender said, leaving with Parvati, who winked at Hermione.

"Er..."

'Oh god, why did he show up when I still needed time to think.' Hermione thought.

"Hermione, I-"

"I'm sorry Harry, but I just remembered something urgent. Sorry" Hermione grabbed her lunch which was in Harry's hands and ran out of the classroom.

She ran as as fast as she could.

Of course Harry chased after her, but it was no use.

'Where did she go?'

I got a problem and I don't know what to do about it
Even if I did, I don't know if I would quit but I doubt it
I'm taken by the thought of it, and I know this much is true
Baby, you have become my addiction, I'm so strung out on you
I can barely move but I like it

'I shouldn't have ignored Harry after all. Should I go back?'

Hermione decided not to. She needed some time to think. A walk by the lake would be good.

Hermione recollected every thing Lavender and Parvati told her, then took one by one and thought about it while eating.

'They asked whether I'm satisfied. Well, am I?'

The answer was no. The kiss didn't satisfy her. It made her want more.

'Then they asked whether I think Harry is satisfied with that.'

Truly, she thought that the kiss made Harry angry with her, worry about her.

'Harry didn't bring up that subject for last two weeks and now was he going to? Ugh, stupid me. That must've made Harry uncomfortable.'

'Then they called me an idiot. Er, let's just forget it. And then she said that I can't see what's going on in Harry's mind. Can't I, now? Then I'm a horrible friend.'

Hermione who could always read Harry like a book had been glued to the thought, 'he didn't like her'. It made her unable to see any other emotion of Harry.

'And am I selfish? No I'm not. I decided to give up because I couldn't bare the heartbreak and it would also give Ginny and Harry some space without me in the picture. Is it selfish?'

'Have I been running away? I guess I'm running away after turning the world upside down like Lavender said.'

'And do I still lov- no, no like- No I wouldn't deny the truth now, I still love Harry. So what should I do now?'

'Guess I owe an explanation to Harry after all. Okay then...'

'I would confess to Harry and not turn back even if he didn't like me back, I'd say.' Hermione decided, returning back to the castle.

And it's all because of you (all because of you)
And it's all because…
Never get enough,
She's the sweetest drug

It was getting dark by now. Harry's detention had been over and he missed his practices because of that. He was returning to the Gryffindor tower now.

Suddenly three girls appeared out of nowhere.

"Ah, Harry" Lavender said.

"Hey, Lavender and Parvati and Padma." Harry said wondering what they were up to.

"Come, Harry there's something we wish to talk with you." Lavender said trying to drag him.

"Erm, okay"

"Where are we going?" Harry asked Padma quietly.

"Sorry, Harry, I have no idea. They dragged me too."

"Hmm"

They stopped in an empty classroom.

'Huh'

"All right, now Harry. We want the truth." Lavender told Harry.

"Huh?"

"Do you like Hermione?"

That question startled Harry. He didn't expect that.

"Er..."

"So, you do?" Parvati said.

"No" Harry said quickly.

"Not no You hesitated to answer that means you do." Lavender said thinking him and Hermione both replied the same way, 'how sweet'. Yes, how sweet.

"Er..."

"So, do you like her?"

"Er..."

"Tell us the truth, Harry."

"Er..."

"Stop 'ERing' and answer please."

"Er- Okay." Harry looked at Parvati and Lavender. Both of them were staring at him.

"I do."

"Yes!" Parvati jumped up.

"You do? Since when?"

From where did that come from?

"Since the first grade."

"Ohhh, how cute" Parvati hopped in.

"Then why didn't you tell her till now?"

"It's complicated."

What did they expect? That Harry'd say them everything. No, wrong. This was already making Harry annoying.

"Hmph. Well then do you like Ginny too?"

Woah, those two had surely been with Professor Trelawney way too much.

"Er.."

'Maybe they could help him. After all girls are good at those stuff.'

"Yes"

"So then what do you expect to do?"

"I don't know. I'm trying to find out still."

"Who would you chose?"

"I don't know."

"What about Hermione?"

" 'Mione?I'm not sure." "Mione?, oh how sweet?" Parvati giggled.

"Isn't she the one who you liked from the very beginning?"

"Yeah, but..."

'Is this an interview?' Padma watched, amused by what was hapenning.

"I don't know, I'm not sure. Of course I liked Hermione from the beginning but now... I don't know who to choose."

"You ha-"

"Harry, " Padma interrupted Lavender.

All turned at her direction.

Smart, beautiful witch talked again.

"Do things that you will never regret. Do things that won't make you say 'it would've happened that way'. Do what you feel is right, Harry."

"Ah. Er, Thank you" Harry said.

"Welcome" Padma smiled. "We'll be going, now Harry. Bye" Padma said dragging Lavender and Padma out of the classroom.

"Bye" Harry said while sitting on a chair.

Ain't no doubt, so strung out
Over you, over you, over you

'Something I won't regret. Huh'

Even though Harry never admitted, these days he could feel all those feelings he had for Hermione getting stronger more and more. It felt like now that he admitted to himself that he still liked Hermione those feelings which were free were getting uncontrollable. And those feelings he had for Ginny were disappearing slowly. After all Ginny was just a replacement.

'If I got together with Hermione, would I regret it?' He would feel guilty at first as he was sure Ginny liked him too. Unless was there a better explanation for the way she acted in front of Harry? 'But would I regret it? No, I guess.'

'But if I got together with Ginny, would I regret it?'

Now that it seemed his best friend liked him too, could he ignore those feelings and go out with Ginny? Would he be satisfied with that or would he regret it?

When he thought about it more and more he got the answer.

Of course he'd regret it for the rest of his life for not taking this chance to be with Hermione, for not making those dreams that he had since eleven true, for not giving Hermione the happiness she wanted.

So he found a solution to his problem.

"Harry!" A girl called out to him.

Recognizing the voice Harry wished she would go away.

Ginny came and stood in front of him.

"Harry, are you okay? These days you don't look okay."

"I'm fine."

"Is it because of what happened, Harry, is it because Hermione kissed you?"

Did every girl have some super power to read others' minds?

"Don't worry, Harry, tell her what you really feel. She'd be depressed for a while, but I'm sure she'd get over it."

Maybe he was wrong about super powers.

"No, Gin-"

"Shh, I know. You don't like her. but don't worry this much when you worry it makes me worry too."

"Err. Ginny I-"

Ginny suddenly pressed her lips against Harry's lips.

It felt nice. Her lips tasted good. But it was nothing like when Hermione kissed him. When Hermione kissed him he forgot everything on his mind and only thing in his mind was 'to stay like this forever' that time. That kiss made him want more. Even though this was nice, he felt like he was betraying Hermione. Just like the feeling he got when he kissed Cho, at that time too he felt like he was betraying Hermione.

So Harry pushed Ginny away and stood up and looked down at her.

"Listen, Ginny. I'm sorry. But I love Hermione."

Harry left a furious Ginny.

Because of you,
And it's all because of you,
Never get enough
She's the sweetest drug, she's the sweetest drug

So, yes he found a solution. He would confess to Hermione. After all Harry couldn't live without Hermione. And if he got together with Ginny, Hermione would be heartbroken. So could he still choose Ginny, making his precious 'Mione hurt?

'Nah, Ginny's not worth it.'

The End of the second chap.

Please review.

I promise next chapter would be better. So keep on reading!

And I decided to do a chapter with Katy Perry's Hummingbird Heartbeat and that song is jus' so dirty. It'd be the last chap.;)

So Good bye till the next time. I'll try to update the next chapter soon.
