I don't own any of the characters they all belong to J.K Rowling!!!!!


Chapter 1.


' Why can't I get him to notice me?' Hermione asked herself. They had been friends for 5 years and yet he had never taken her for much more than a friend.
Harry Potter was not the skinny little boy she had met in the first year. Has strong, charming and not interested in anything but Cho Chang. Every lunch you could guarantee to see them sitting together, laughing and talking, the very idea was enough to make Hermione cry. The only person she had ever told was Ron who had try to tell Harry but all he ever did was ramble and on about Cho. He didn't realize that his so best friends were being shadowed; after all they'd been through together.
Hermione dug deep down into her pillow, her prefect badge cut into her chest but she didn't care. She had never seen herself like this before, yet she had never felt like this before. She often had dreams about him, the most frequent one was one with Cho and Harry in a room chatting...then Hermione came in, Harry walked over and kissed her with the most delicate kiss ever. The look on cho's face would be the one thing she would never forget.
'But that'll never happen now you've let him slip through your fingers.' She sat up, her cheeks soaked with tears and her beautiful eyes bloodshot and sore. Hermione was totally different altogether, like she was a new person. Her hair was no longer bushy but sleek and straight. Her eyes where a delicate shade of beautiful hazel and her lips were tender soft, her figure was perfect and she was the centre of attention with all the boys in her year and above!!! Yet that wasn't what she wanted, all she wanted was Harry. Hermione got up and looked at the clock, it was 6:15. She sat herself in front of the mirror. It was the winter ball. She was going to put on a fancy frock and do herself up.
The lilac gown was resting on the end of her bed and her make up was set up in front of her on the dresser.
"Right," she said to herself," You're gonna get this boy girl."
After a full hour she was ready and I have to say she was the most beautiful person I have ever seen!!!! She stepped out into the common room to see people everwhere. She saw Ron coming over and smiles at him. He stopped in mid pace and his jaw dropped.
"Bloody hell Hermione, you look like an angel!" She grinned.
"Why thank you!" Ron was a super friend!!! "Where's Harry?" She asked trying not to sound to eager.
"Over there," Ron jerked his head to the far end of the room." He's waiting for us."
"Well that's got to be a first." Hermione said in a sarcastic voice. They made their way over and most of the common room gave a reaction, which was somewhat similar to Ron's!!! Eventually every set of eyes where on Hermione. Then the volume turned up again.

"Well hello their Hermione," said Harry. He was obviously trying to hide something in his voice," could I talk to you a minute?"
"Yeah, sure." She said and he pulled her through the crowd to the fat lady and they made their way out of the common room. They carried on walking for a couple of minute's and then Harry stopped and turned to her.
"I need to tell you something," he said, there was a note of urgency in his voice, "I was afraid to tell you before but then- well Hermione, I love you."
"What did you say?" She managed to whisper after a minute or say.
"I love you." He said. The words kept on going around her head, over and over again. " I went around with Cho because I felt things for you and I thought that if I went to Cho they would go. But they didn't, hey became more."
" Harry, I love you more than anyone else in the world!" She flung her arms around him. He did the same to her. They stayed like that for a minute or so. He kissed her hair, it was so soft.
"Come on," Hermione said, "we better get down for breakfast," So they set off hand in hand down to the entrance hall.
" Where the hell have you been Harry, I've been waiting for you for-" but she never finished her sentence. She looked at the stunning Hermione standing beside Harry.
She ran into the Great hall and sat down at her table with her head in her hands.
Hermione looked up at Harry and smiled at her.
" Where have you two been?" He said, then he saw the look on Hormone's face and he understood at once. But before anyone could say another word, Parvati came over and trapped Harry in a jaw lock. Hermione stared at him for a few seconds and then she was off across the hall.
" HERMIONE!!!!!!" yelled Harry after, but she was to far away to hear.
" You pig." Yelled Ron and he went after her. Harry sat there in disbelief. He had won and lost the girl he loved in one morning. What was going on?????
