Hermione.

Hermione walked slowly down the corridors of Hogwarts smiling slightly to herself. She presumed she was probably the first one there as, being Hermione had arranged her own transport to get here early. She'd already unpacked all her things into her dormitory and now was thinking of heading up to Library to see if they had gotten any new books for the new year. She knew her friends wouldn't arrive for at least another hour so already began to plan how to check out all the different sections with the time she had. But as she ambled along the corridor she noticed something which she took great surprise to. A tall boy was standing in front of her with his back to her leaning against a post. He was tall and skinny but not lanky. He was toned. He had a mop of shiny brown hair on his head which was perfectly styled and the pale skin of the nape of his neck above his black robes gave great contrast. Ooh, she thought to herself as she softly approached him, now this could be interesting. As she neared him he began to seem more & more familiar but she just couldn't'

place him, but then like a light switch going off in her head it snapped. No, she thought, it couldn't be…Ron? As the boy turned around she knew it was him. She would have known his face anywhere despite his new found appearance. Running up to him she wrapped him in a warm embrace. To her surprise, as she wound her arms around his waist she could feel, even under his cloak, she felt a very toned strong body. So unlike the weak lanky boy she used to know.

"It's so good to see you!" She smiled pulling gently back to face him.

"You too!" He grinned that sweet grin she had seen so many times. Yet for some reason this time it made her heart skip in a funny kind of way.

"Well, you look great." He said slowly looking her up and down in a way that made her palms sweat. What the hell was wrong with me? She thought.

"Not looking to bad yourself." She managed to splutter. Understatement of the century a voice in her head said.

"Hey, you okay?" Ron asked his beautiful features slipping to a frown. Still without the ability to speak Hermione nodded vigorously causing Ron's frown to deepen.

"Erm… well if you sure, I got to get going. See you later." He said as he turned around and began up the corridor.

"Later." Hermione whispered in reply even though he was already half way down the corridor and unable to hear her. Backing up against the wall she sighed and sank to the floor. She didn't know what the heck was a matter with her but what she did know was that if the rest of the year was going to be like this she knew she wasn't going to be in for a very fun time.
