Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter just the plot is mine
A/N: This is an Hermione/Ginny little story so if you don't like then don't read it. Just a little something for the Christmas season told from Hermione's point of view.
Hermione woke up a little bit later than she normally would finding that she was the only one still in the room, Hermione chastised herself as she bolted out of her bed to get ready for the day a head.
What is wrong with me recently? I was supposed to meet Ginny for breakfast and I'm sure she's going to be upset especially since I haven't been a very good friend lately. Merlin's pants Hermione get it together already.
Hermione rushed from the room still pulling on her robes and almost falling down the steps. Just as she reached the bottom she collided with something solid and fell to the floor on top of said solid object.
"I'm sorry I wasn't looking were I was going…" Hermione tried to apologise quickly
"Hey it's ok but can you please get off me? You're kinda squashing me" Chuckled Ginny from the ground
Hermione realised who she was currently using as a cushion and couldn't help the red flushing of her face which quickly spread down her neck and under her shirt collar. Yet she still didn't make a move to get off her friend as she just stared into the smirking face of Ginny Weasley.
Why is she smirking at me like that? Did she just say something or is my mind playing tricks on me? And another thing why the hell have you not moved yet!!!
Ginny cleared her throat slightly as she watched Hermione's expressions change at a rapid rate across her face.
Bloody hell, Granger move! You are going to freak her out.
Hermione finally scrambled off Ginny and backed away from her whilst stuttering another apology. Ginny stood from the floor, dusting herself off she decided to spare Hermione from any more embarrassment so she quickly made conversation.
"Sleep in did you Mione?" the same smirk still plastered on her face
Hermione sighed loudly "Yes, sorry Gin I know I said that we would go to breakfast together. I just over slept"
"Well that's not like you, we still have time if you want to hurry down there now?"
Hermione nodded her head with a smile as they made their way out of the portrait hole.
The walk to the great hall was made with polite conversations about classes, and the up coming Quidditch game between Gryffindor and Slytherin.
"Are you feeling confident about the match this Saturday?" enquired Hermione
"Not confident exactly, because it's against…well Slytherin and with their reputation for playing dirty, Harry wants us to be on our game for Saturday so he's booked the pitch for after lunch today and tomorrow so that we will be ready for anything that they might throw at us"
"I'm positive that you will do great Gin. I might not particularly love the sport but I know that you are a fantastic chaser" this time it was Ginny's turn to blush at Hermione's compliment as she muttered a shy "Thanks"
She looks so cute when she blushes like that. It's not often I see her blush like that, maybe I should compliment her more.
Sitting down at the table Ginny launched straight for the bacon and sausages and piled them high on her awaiting plate.
Hermione just grabbed a couple of slices of toast and a goblet of pumpkin juice, aware of the lack of time they had before classes began. She turned to Ginny to see her diving into her own breakfast and rolled her eyes at how very Ron like she could be.
Although I don't find it disgusting as I do when it is Ron who is eating like that, thinking of Ron where is he any way. And Harry isn't here either.
"Have you seen Harry or Ron at all this morning Gin?"
Ginny swallowed the ruminants of sausage in her mouth before answering "Yea Ron wanted to get breakfast early so he could have some private Quidditch practice with Katie before classes, and by practice I'm assuming it's code for a quick snogging session. But the more I don't think about that the safer my sanity will be" Ginny made a face as though she had just tasted something rather disgusting. "And Harry said something about meeting Luna at the lake because he wouldn't be able to see her until after his Quidditch practice later on tonight"
Hermione just nodded her head in response whilst sipping some more pumpkin juice.
Finishing up her breakfast Hermione made to stand to go to her first lesson. "Are you coming Gin"
Just before Ginny could reply Colin walked up behind Ginny
"Er Ginny can I speak to you…Er before class, please? It's about that think…I really need to speak to you?" Colin was acting more nervous than usual.
Smiling up at him Ginny say "Sure Colin" she look back to Hermione apologetically "Sorry Mione, you don't mind do you?"
Hermione looked disappointed but shrugged it off quickly "Not at all Gin, see you later" she turned on her heel and marched from the great hall muttering a quick "Colin" as she passed him.
What could Colin possibly want to talk to Ginny about that is so urgent that he has to bother her before class? Not that I should really be bothered, and I'm not. He isn't asking her out is he? No that's impossible, Colin is a great guy but he is defiantly not a suitable match for Ginny. No I'm sure their just friends…Although they have been spending quite a lot of time together.
Hermione shook her head and laughed at how ridicules her thoughts were as she entered the Transfiguration class room for her first lesson of the day.
She spotted Harry and Ron and made a B-line for their table that they usually shared.
"Hey Hermione" greeted Harry, smiling happily at her
Harry never smiles like that. I guess Luna is good for him. I hope he holds onto that happiness for as long as possible, Merlin knows he needs it.
"Hi Harry, Ron" Hermione greeted in return as Professor McGonagall glided into the class room and took control of her students to begin.
