A/N: This is a little piece of fluff I cooked up while listening to songs on my MP3 player. Don't ask why, I don't know :)
***************************
I gently climbed in through the portrait hole with my huge stack of books slightly teetering.
No, please don't tip! I thought, inching my way towards a chair.
I flopped down, defeated.
Whew! That was close! ... Too close. I thought, picking up the heaviest book of all and tossing it into my bag.
Something caught my eye as I flicked through the pages.
It was snowing! The first snow of the season, and no one was here with me to see it.
I shivered in my dark blue jeans and light blue cable-knit sweater.
It was so beautiful outside. A whiteness that blanketed Hogwarts, making it look like a child's faerietale book picture.
There were still people roaming around at 11:05 at night. I chuckled.
I wonder where Harry is. I don't think he came back. I pondered. Harry'd been gone awfully long because of Quidditch practice lately.
I looked again and spotted some people heading in towards the back staircase to Gryffindor.
I spotted two people who looked very familiar. Ha! There was Ron and Harry!
I scrambled from my position and resumed a state of solitude as they entered the portrait hole. I calmly turned a page.
"Hermione! What are you doing up?" Harry asked astonished.
"Oh, hello Harry. I simply couldn't sleep so I came downstairs for a bit of reading to rest my thoughts." I explained, not looking up.
"It shouldn't surprise me, however it does." Ron said, sinking into a chair.
I shot him a nasty look.
"What are you reading?" Harry asked. Also sitting. Sitting dangerously close to me. I felt my breath catch and my hands get clammy.
"Ah.. the book? The book.. it's called Romeo and Juliet.." I stammered in a squeaky voice, closing it abruptly.
Harry looked taken aback for a moment then recovered when Ron sniggered.
"Shut up Ron." I commented, hoping it would improve the mood.
"Can do! See you guys later, MUCH later!" Ron said, winking at me. I looked disgustedly at him as he strolled to the boy's dorms.
"Ron is such a moron." I said, putting emphasis on moron.
Harry nodded, but I don't think he meant it as he continued to stare out the window, mesmerized.
I waved my hand in front of his face. Nothing.
"Harry?" I asked.
"Hm. WHAT!?" He asked alarmed.
"You wouldn't talk." I said.
"Sorry, the snow.. it's really cool to just look at it, swirling.. around..." He said, again, getting lost in a trance.
I laughed out loud.
"What?" He asked stupidly.
"You're such an idiot!" I gasped, hitting his arm.
"You should talk!" He retorted.
"UH!" I said, perhaps a tad too loud.
"SHHH! Shut up! Geez, my god your loud!" Harry said in mock anger.
"Sorry." I mouthed.
"Anyway..." Harry said, yawning loudly.
"The snow is rather beautiful.. and so serene!" I commented.
Harry nodded.
"I mean, it blocks out all other sounds and just.. is lovely." I finished, sighing.
"So are y-" Harry said, suddenly stopping himself.
My heart-rate seemed to speed up. Did he just say so did I? Must have been a mistake...
I must have looked stunned for a few seconds so I just quickly muttered goodbye and left.
