"I own nothing, NOTHING I tell you!…except maybe the computer I am using?"
Essential, Chapter 4
It was now morning and Hermione had woke up. 'Holy Shit! I can't believe I spent the whole night in Harry's arms! This is wrong so wrong…than why do I feel so content and why do I feel like I would want to spend an eternity in his arms' Hermione decided to put these thoughts to the back of her head. Suddenly, Harry had woken up, "Good morning," he started, "did we spend the whole night here?" Hermione nodded and told Harry she was off to take a shower. Once Hermione had reached her dorm she noticed Lavender with her mouth wide open. "What?" asked Hermione, even though she knew what Lavender was going to say, "You spent the whole night downstairs with Harry didn't you?" Asked Lavender. Hermione just blushed, Lav had gotten her answer and felt quite happy with herself. "How 'bout you?" Asked Hermione, "What time did Ron leave you're room this morning?" Lavender threw a pillow to her friend. "Mione! You can be such a little pervert sometimes! For you're 411 my dear, Ron brought me up here last night at 7:00 right after the incident with Malfoy and he stayed till 8:00 because we were talking and then he stayed I think until I fell asleep and I'm 100% sure he did because I could still smell his Calvin Klein cologne" stated Lavender. (A/N: My dad has the Calvin Klein cologne! It smells really good…just thought you should know!) "All right" said Mione, "I'm going to go take a shower." Hermione went into her shower (A/N: No I am NOT going to show you graphics! Ewww…Shame on all the little perverts out there!) and for some reason couldn't stop thinking about Harry. 'He even looks good in the morning! His eyes are so beautiful, Mione stop thinking like that! It's probably the long night that is making you woozy, well I hope…' Mione hurried to get ready after she got out of her shower so she could rejoin Harry, Lavender, and Ron in the great hall.
Harry and Ron were just as she suspected, down in the Great Hall eating breakfast. Harry had a big Quidditch Match today and as the new Gryffindor Captain he was even more nervous. Ron was trying to cheer up his friend before the big game against Slytherin but unfortunately nothing could make him feel better. "You'll do GREAT Harry" promised Hermione, who then gave him a kiss on the cheek. Harry blushed furiously at that. 'Wow her lips are so soft' though Harry. Ron noticed the two and just smiled. 'Is it possible that they like each other?' Ron thought. Harry was now outside in the quidditch field waiting for the game to start. Oliver Wood had given the rules and regulations. "Now I want a nice clean game out of all of you! And may the best team win!" said Oliver who was constantly winking at the Gryffindor's. "AND THE GAME HAS BEGUN!" started Lee Jordan "ANGELINA JOHNSON HAS GOT THE QUAFFLE! AND 10 POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR! OH! MARCUS HENDERSON (A/N: Marcus Flint had graduated and Marcus Henderson is now one of the chasers for Slytherin) HAS THE QUAFFLE NOW AND IS USING HIS BROOM TO GET IT PAST GRYFFINDOR'S NEW KEEPER SEAMUS FINNIGAN! SEAMUS HAS BLOCKED WITH HIS BROOM AND HAS SENT THE QUAFFLE FLYING BACK INTO THE SLYTHERINS HOOPS WHICH MAKES ANOTHER 10 POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR! HARRY POTTER AND DRACO MALFOY ARE NOW OFF TO CATCH THE SNITCH! IT LOOKS LIKE DRACO WILL MAKE IT BUT WAIT HARRY IS CATCHING UP OH THIS IS A HOT GAME! NOT FLORIDA HOT BUT HAWAII HOT WITH THOSE CUTE LITTLE HULA GIRLS! MAN I LIKE THE WAY THEIR HIP MOVES WHEN THEY DO THEIR LITTLE DANCES!" Pr. McGonagall had sent a death glare to Lee who got the message. "BACK TO THE GAME! HARRY AND DRACO ARE STILL IN CLOSE GAME BUT WAIT HARRY IS NOW STANDING UP ON HIS BROOM…HARRY POTTER HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH! 170 POINTS TO ZERO!" Lee Jordan finished. All Gryffindors were screaming with joy while the Slytherins were groaning because of their loss. Hermione had run up into the Quidditch field to hug her best friend. But most unexpectedly Hermione had also kissed Harry on the cheek! 'Why did I just kiss him!? And in front of the whole school!' Hermione thought but nothing was made of this matter because all Gryffindors were running up to Harry on the field to congratulate him.
A week had gone by at Hogwarts and nothing has really happened. Hermione and Harry, however seem to be growing closer and closer every day. It was now the 11th of November and the 4th years and up were all anticipating the Yule Ball. Especially the 4th years who had never been to a ball at Hogwarts before. Ginny had her eye on someone but hadn't told anybody yet. "Hey Ginny!" said Hermione walking into the common room. Mione sat next to her friend and asked her what was on her mind. "Come on Ginny! Please tell me who you want to go to the Ball with it's eating you alive and you know it!" explained Hermione. "Well there is this guy that I have liked since umm…this summer but he'll never like me back so what's the point of asking him to the Yule Ball if I know he might say no?" Asked Ginny. "Well," started Hermione, "You could always take the risk because you never know if that person likes you too, and in love nothing ever happens without taking risks. And by the way who is the lucky guy?" Ginny started blushing "Swear you won't tell anyone?" "Scouts honor!" promised Hermione. "Seamus Finnigan…" exclaimed Ginny. Hermione just smiled and hugged her friend and walked off. 'I can't believe she likes Seamus that's so awesome!' Thought Hermione, 'I wonder who'll ask me to the Ball…'
It was now dinnertime and Dumbledore had an announcement to make. "Now as all of you know the Yule Ball will be hosted on December 14th for 4th years and up. And because it went so great last year with Durmstrang and Beaux Batons, the teachers and I have decided to invite the two school's over again for a week ofcourse to attend the Yule Ball. That is all!" All the students were know in full conversation about the other schools coming. Hermione on the other hand was not at all happy about the news. "Aren't you happy Krum won't be there?" Asked Ron. "Actually, Krum will be there." Hermione said. "Huh? How is that possible he was a 7th year last year so he graduated!" Said Harry. "Krum might be the master at quidditch but not at educational studies. Krum's grades were so poor that he had to stay back." Said Hermione. "And when we broke up he didn't seem happy at all about it and he said that he will love me forever." Harry turned sick at the thought of some other guy telling her 'He will love her forever! Please! What a liar!' Thought Harry. "Well don't worry Mione! Harry and me won't let him annoy or get to you!" Said Ron trying to cheer his friend up. Unfortunately it didn't work Hermione was feeling sick to her stomach now. 'What if Krum still loves me and will want to go out with me again? I don't feel that way about him, I feel that way about Harry!' Hermione couldn't believe she just thought that. 'But yes it all makes sense! All those feelings I've been feeling and all those thoughts I've been having! I'm in love with Harry!'
