"Hermione? Hermione wake up" Hermione groaned and rolled over expecting to land on more of her warm comfy bed but instead she fell and landed onto the cold and hard floor of the gryffindor common room. Hermione bolted up then placed a hand to her now throbbing head and realised she must have fallen asleep on the sofa.

"Dear dear Hermione" Hermione looked up to find lavender and Ron standing above her with their arms crossed in front of them.

"Ugh shurrup and help me up will you?" Hermione groaned at Ron. "How long have you been there? What's the time anyway? Aren't you's two going home today?"

" Well by the looks of things you have been here all night and the train leaves in 20 minutes we thought it would be best to wake you up rather than just leave you there sucking your thumb in front of the entire gryffindor population." Ron joked

" I do not suck my thumb" Hermione protested

"Ok you don't but the dribble was to much for me. I've just had breakfast you know I would like to keep it down."

"Ron!" lavender laughed gently hitting his arm. "Hermione don't worry you weren't dribbling or sucking your thumb. You look positively peaceful and I warned Ron not to wake you up too early. Hermione smiled meekly and hugged lavender and Ron wishing them a safe trip home.

"Oh wheelers Harry?" Hermione said after looking round and not seeing him anywhere.

"Oh we saw him earlier he said he had to go some where to clear his thoughts. He said he might not be back in time to say goodbye so he did earlier." Ron explained whilst pulling on his winter cloak.

"Hmmm thanks" Hermione said goodbye to them both once again before going up to her now deserted dorm. She walked over to her bed and pulled out her favourite teddy she had had since she was a little girl. Hermione lay back on her bed and thought of the events that had occurred the night before. She smiled and hugged her teddy tight as she remembered how Harry had admitted his feelings towards her to Cho last night. Just thinking about harry made Hermione glow and warm up instantly inside. Realising how hungry she was she quickly jumped of her bed and gathered up her thick warm towel and wash bag and head for the girl's showers.

Walking down to the great hall now warm and refreshed form her shower Hermione thought of the possibilities that could happen between her and Harry this winter. Coincidentally her and Harry were the only two gryffindors left at hogwarts this winter. Her parents had made emergency plans to go to south France to help care for her elderly grandma who's condition had gotten worse than before. Hermione was glad that she didn't have to go and was glad her parents understood her choice. She loved her grandma to bits mind you but she didn't like to she her in such a weak condition after knowing how strong and full of life she had been in the past.

Hermione reached the great hall to find it nearly empty apart form a couple ravenclaw first years. She smiled at them and made her way to the gryffindor table. She loaded her plate with eggs, bacon and beans and began eating.

Sorry its not that long nothing much happens either does it? Oh dear, well back to the writing board for the next chapter! More soon! Xxxx
