Authors Note: Howdy. This was about my second fic. I'd like to say a really, really, big. Hagrid Hug thank you for all those 27 reviews or something, that I got! You guys made this fic one of my best ever, so once again I'd like ta thank ya. I decided to re-post it because I put myself down in my last one and I screwed it up. If you guys can help me get past 27 or something reviews, I'll have to conjure up another Hagrid Hug. ***Redoing of my other hit Sirius Black, Male or Female? Is coming soon

I thought about him the entire dance. Winced when he and Pavrati danced. I
had a Bulgarian freak next to me who couldn't even say my name right. But not
Harry. He could say my name right ever since we met. I had done myself up so
nicely for his sake. So he'd notice me. He did. Just Cho stood out better. What
does Cho have that I don't? She's smart. I'm smart. Does she have the power to
make Harry blush whenever she speaks to him? I just make him snore. I meant to
make Harry jealous when I did stuff with Krum, not Ron! Our first year. I
hugged him hoping to get a hug back. I got a complement. So many good things
he's done to our community. I'm just one of the many girls in the world who
love him. Cho's the lucky one. Famous Harry Potter's after her. I walked into
our common room, tired and hoping to get to bed straight away. The room was
empty. Then I saw him. Staring into the fire as if it were a T.V., nothing
around him cared. The fire was like his favourite show. He was straining his
eyes, like he couldn't understand it. I sat down next to him. I crossed my arms
put one leg over the other then swayed my foot slightly. He didn't even notice
I was there. So I sighed and decided to talk whether he heard me or not.
"How was Quidditch practise? You looked soaked to the bone. I wish the
weather was better. If only I didn't feel like the weather today. I spent most
my afternoon in the library." I said matter-of-factly. Harry eased. His
lips twicheted-like he was going to smile. I looked into his eyes and saw that
they were cold, not the normal brightness was in them.
"I kinda miss home. Hogwarts is so far away...the ones that we really love
aren't there when times get rough. You're the lucky one so many people love
you. But not me Harry Potter. Keep shining bright." I said hugged Harry
stood up and patted him on the shoulder. What if he didn't hear a word! I
wasted my breath. But as I turned to leave and started to walk I heard him.
"I love you a lot Hermione Granger." He said slowly and strongly.
I smiled slyly. They were the words I needed and wanted to hear. He liked Cho
but loved me. I turned around again and kissed him on the cheek and then he
grabbed me and returned me with a passionate kiss on my lips. I walked into my
Dormitory almost skipping. I grinned as I pulled the covers over me. I shut my
eyes and smiled.
As I slowly drifted of to sleep I thought,
Who needs a Yule Ball anyway?
