Hermione Granger sighed loudly as she sat alone in the Gryffindor Common room. She had just had another big fight with one of her best friends, Ronald Weasley. The littlest things had been setting him off lately. She had simply told him that one of his homework problems was wrong. O.k.....so maybe she did sound a little bossy, but he didn't have to blow up in her face. Now she was alone. Everyone was in Hogsmeade, now including Ron. She slammed her Arithmancy book shut and walked to the window. Hermione moved the curtain aside so she could see the grounds surrounding Hogwarts. She stared out at the forbidden forest, remembering the detention she had in her first year and had to go into the forbidden forest. She remembered how close she was with Ron and Harry then. Ron had been mad at her lately for reasons unknown to her and Harry was almost always at quidditch practice. Just then her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice behind her.
"Hey there," it said.
"Hey, Harry." she said without turning around.
"Why aren't you in Hogsmeade, Herm?" Harry inquired. Hermione turned to face him.
"Shouldn't I be asking you the same thing?" she said lazily. Harry took a few steps closer.
"Snape's detention, remember? When I accidentally spilled that potion on Snape?" Hermione smiled remembering it.
"You have to admit, it was pretty funny watching Snape balloon up like a whale." she said still smiling. Harry chuckled.
"Yeah it was.....It's your turn. Why aren't you in Hogsmeade?"
"I have to--" but before she could end her sentence Harry finished her it for her.
"study." Harry shook his head. "Geez, Herm you are so predictable." Hermione turned looking out the window again. "What's so interesting out there, Herm?" he said walking up to her. He was almost leaning against her he was so close. Hermione turned, leaning against the window so they weren't so close. She looked up at him, he had out grown her by a good 4 inches.
"What's wrong with Ron?" she said. Harry turned his gaze from out the window and down to Hermione.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean why does he seem like he just wants to blow up at me every time I try to talk to him?"
"I don't know." he said avoiding her gaze. God he hated lying to her. She looked straight into his eyes. He hated when she did that, and she knew it too. It always got the truth out of him. No matter how hard he tried he just couldn't lie to her when she was starring into his eyes.
"Harry, I'm not stupid. Now quit lying to me and tell me what's wrong with him.
"Well, I guess he's just a little upset."
"Why?"
"Remember when Lavender asked you if you liked Ron, and you said only as friends?"
"Yeah---wait....how did you know about that?"
"Ron and I over heard you and Lavender talking in the common room."
"But why would that make Ron--?" She stopped talking...it had just hit her. "He doesn't...does he?" she watched as Harry bit his lip.
He likes you, Hermione. And more than a friends." Harry watched Hermione run a hand through her hair.
"This is not good."
"He'll get over it, Herm."
"But what am I gonna do? Pretend like I don't know he heard me say that."
"Everything will be ok, Hermi." Hermione nodded slowly, but her eyes looked uncertain. "Wanna go for a walk around the ground to try and get you mind off things?
"Sure, just let me go get my coat." Hermione brushed passed Harry and ran up the stairs. Harry sighed and closed his eyes taking in the smell of honey that Hermione always smelt of. 'How can you be falling for your best friend?' he thought.
