////// I rewrote the ending of chapter one, just some few lines. I hope you like this chapter, I'm not so into this story, so if you want me to continue review.!!!!!!1


- Stop pushing !
Ron shouted to Hermione who was trying to run past him. The rain was whipping the ground and everyone were running to Hogwart, that was the only protection of the rain.
- Run faster, I don't want to be wet!
Ron raised his speed but felt that he couldn't run any faster. Hermione who was actually much faster than he, ran past him.
- Hey, don't think that you are faster than me, brainy!
Ron muttered to himself that she was going to pay for making him fell embarrassed. Children were pouring out from the Hogwart Express, everyone afraid of being wet. Suddenly the rain stopped, like someone had switched the weather off, and the sun appeared. Everyone looked at each other in disbelief at first, but then you could see happy grins all over Hogwart's garden. Soon the chatter between the students begun and everything was back to normal. Some teachers from Hogwart who were directing the children to take it slow, send each other strange looks, and no one noticed the fear in their solid eyes.

Harry and Hermoine who were already inside the castle waited for Ron. He came slowly in, as if he was angry or thinking about something.
- So, another year in school, huh?
Harry looked at Hermione who was looking for somebody. She turned to him and raised her eyebrows.
- Oh my god, I haven't had time to finish reading the book " Muggles in war"! I have to finish reading it or else I will not know the answers when we get a test later!
Harry let out a groan, he couldn't believe that Hermione was the same as ever.
- Hermione! We haven't even begun the lessons and you are thinking of reading! You haven't change at all over the summer, have you?
Hermione gave Harry an angry look and walked away from him. Harry was standing there like an idiot.
- I can't understand that girl.
Harry muttered to himself while looking after Hermione.
- Neither do I, pal.
Harry turned to Ron who was standing beside him. His eyes were laughing but not he. He turned again to see after Hermione and found her talking with a young wizard.
- I mean she is the same as ever, always studying and it makes me sick. Not that it actually really bothers me, but can't she at least talk about something else than school.
Ron looked strangely at Harry, who was obviously upset.
- It's strange you now. First it was me that kept nagging Hermi that she is a bookworm, now it seems like we have changed rolls.
Ron tuned to see Hermione as Harry did.
- You know, she has actually changed. She looks different and....she is different.
Harry looked at Ron with a suspicious look, he knew that something was going up.
- What do you mean.
Ron changed look and started to change the subject.
- No, nothing. Oh, you know we better hurry, the assembly shall start at any minute.
He started to walk away from Harry, but Harry grabbed his dark blue glove.
- No, explain to me. How is Hermione different ?
Ron sighed and then grabbed Harry to a corner so no one would see them.
- I promise her that I wouldn't tell anyone, but since you actually threatened me... I have no choice.
He was now whispering and all this made Harry very curious.
- Hermi... she...she...she.....
- Wislyd´emla!


* * *

Suddenly Ron started to whistle, a loud whistle. Everyone turned to see him in chock. But he couldn't stop. Hermione appeared behind Ron and almost whispered in his ear, but Harry could hear what she said.
- Next time I will make worms come out of your mouth, sneak. I should have known that you couldn't keep a secret.
Ron shoke his head, as if he was trying to say no but couldn't. He bent to his knee and tried to beg to her to make the curse stop. Hermione had her arms crossed and was considering about it.
- Hermi, I actually almost threatened him. And I don't think that the teachers will be very happy when they hear Ron.
Hermi looked at Harry and then at Ron, she took out her wand and looked at Harry again as if asking if she had to. Harry nodded.
- Emla´wislyd!
Ron's irritating whistle stopped and all the kids that were around him stopped looking at him.
- Ron how could you even consider telling Harry! You promised!
Ron saw that Hernione was very upset and looked down to the ground. He felt like a betrayer.
- But it is Harry. I mean he isn't that kind of guy that will go around the school and tell your secret.
Hermione was whipping away a tear, she was about to cry. Harry felt very sorry for her but he couldn't help feeling the feel of envy for Ron. A lonely thought circled around his head all the time " Why did she tell Ron her "secret" and not me? Does she trust Ron more than me or does she consider him as a better friend than me?".
- Well, that's what I thought of you, Ron!
With that Hermione ran away from them, maybe because she didn't want them to see her cry. Harry looked at her and started to run after her, Ron was left in the same place and looked puzzled.
- Hermi , stop!
Harry shouted to Hermione but she wouldn't stop running. They were running across Hogwart's many corridors, Harry after Hermione and Hermione from Harry. Suddenly Harry stopped, he couldn't see Hermione anymore. He felt something cold behind him so he turned and saw Almost Headless Nick.
- Hey, have you seen Hermione?
Almost Headless Nick shook his arm in a sign that he was irritated, but he looked like he was going to help Harry .
- First young man you shouldn't run, you can actually get hurt in this corridors. No one know what's waiting for one behind the corners. I don't know if I want to help you, I'm not into hide and seeks, but since you look so concerned I will help you find this girlfriend of yours. Hey, I thought that she was your friend first.
Harry looked in disbelief.
- Em, we are not playing hide and seeks and second of all I'm not that concerned and third of all she is not my girlfriend, we are best friends and you now that!
Nick pattered his arm and raised it.
- Yeah right, and I have a nice and dandy head stuck in my neck. But I don't care. I think I saw her in the classroom 4¤¤*1. It's behind this corner.
With that Harry left Headless Nick with a simple thank you.
- Good luck!
Nick shouted after Harry. Harry didn't care what headless Nick said. It was maybe true that he was very concerned for Hermione, but they were just friends and that's all.
When Harry approached door 4¤¤*1 he didn't go in at first.
- Hermi are you there? Can I come in?
At first Harry couldn't hear anything, but then he heard Hermiones small voice.
- Go away Harry, I don't feel like talking.
Harry actually considered going away, but something didn't aloud him to go. Slowly he opened the door and met total darkness. He waited a while until his eyes were used to the darkness. He then walked in and closed the door.
Hermione was sitting on the window sill. The moon was shining as a round gold coin and the stars were as bright as ever. Hermione suddenly turned to see Harry.
- I thought I told you to go, Harry.
Harry walked slowly to Hermione and sat beside her. He turned his head and met her eyes the third time this day.
- I know.
Hermione looked puzzled and saw something strange in Harry's green eyes.
- Harry, the reason that I didn't tell you my secret is that I didn't actually "tell" Ron. He sort of found out and I made him promise that he wouldn't tell anyone. It is not that I don't trust you, but I can't tell you this. Please don't be mad at me!
Harry looked at Hermione, who was now practical crying. He whipped away a lonely tear from her cheek and a wide smile spread to his face.
- It's okay. But you know, you sure run fast.
Hermione giggled a bit and her eyes left the sadness. She put her arms around Harry's neck and kissed his forehead.
- Of course I know, but you also have to know that you are the best friend a girl can have. Thank you for being so understanding Harold James Potter.
Harry couldn't help looking into Hermiones warm light brown eyes. She looked at his eyes as well and the two of them felt their heart's raise it's speed. Harry lowered his eyes to Hermione's pink –red lips. He felt the urge to kiss them, but he couldn't aloud himself to do it. When he raised his eyes he met her shocking eyes. Hermiones arms were still around Harry's neck, but she couldn't remove them it was as if they were stuck there. But she also questioned herself if she wanted to remove them. Suddenly she felt Harry's hand cup her cheek and she couldn't help give his hand a light kiss that send a electrical shiver to the both of them. Without even thinking Harry moved closer to Hermione, who was almost trembling. A new feeling that wasn't friendship was floating in the air. Hermiones mouth was now a few inches from Harry's, but nor he or she made a noise, it was if time it self had stopped. Hermione raised her head a bit to see Harry's astonishing emerald eyes. She tightened her arms around his neck even more and Harry slipped his arm to her waist. Their chest were pressed against each other and they could fell each others hearts throb a few time s faster. Harry could feel Hermiones sweet smell of vanilla and her almost trembling body pressed against his. He slowly closed his eyes and lowered his head to her lips...
- Harry! Hermione! Are you in here!
It was Ron's voice, but it only lasted in a few seconds because then you could hear his footsteps walk away when no one answered him. Both Harry and Hermione unlocked from each other and looked stunned, the two of them were brought back to reality. Their eyes met in shock, while realising what they almost did. Harry brought his hands to his messy hair and brushed it backwards, he couldn't believe that he almost had kissed one of his best friends. But how could he have done it? Hermione moved slowly away from him and looked at him at the same time with round eyes.
- It ... it...it must have been the moon's atmosphere, you..you...you know that it can have a strange influence in human beings, specially those with magical powers.
Hermione looked at Harry with intense eyes, waiting for his confirmation of her own theory. Harry nodded slightly and looked away, he felt ashamed and out of self controlling. He took a few steps from Hermione who was still sitting on the window sill and turned to meet her eyes again.
- I...I think that the assembly have already started, that's probably why Ron was looking for us.
She nodded and turned her gaze to the moon, that slowly was clouded by some dark grey clouds.
- Yeah...
Harry took a few more steps backward but did not turn his eyes from her, he couldn't at that moment.
- I better go now.
In a rush he hurried from the room, he almost ran as if he was chased of something that he couldn't prevent from happening. Hermione was still left in the dark, lonely with the moon's shadow that cast a shape of beauty in the marble floor. But this time Hermione wasn't lonely with sadness, she felt instead happiness. A strangely happiness she couldn't explain no matter how many books she had read. And in the dark, silent room a smile crossed her lips while she whispered to herself.
- Thank You Harry....

To be continue.......
