Thank u harry and hermione 4eva! And don't worry it will be!

"Harry, what is it?" Ron asked curiously.

"I never told her but." Harry started.

"You never told who what?" Ron asked. "Hermione?"

"Y-y-yes." Harry studdered. "I never told her- I didn't mean to insult her- I was just joking- I actually."

"You actually what?" Ron said.

"I have actually really." Harry started.

"WHAT?" Ron yelled.

"I really, really like her." Harry muttered.

"I know that your good friends with her and she knows that." Ron told him.

"No. I really, really LIKE her." Harry said fermley.

"Oh." Ron said taken aback.

"Yeah." Harry muttered as he started to walk up the stairs to the boys dormitory.

"Oh, and Harry. Your secret's safe with me." Ron winked.

The next week.

"Attention students. For the fun of it, me and the other teachers and staff have decided to hold a Welcome Back dance for all the 2nd through 7th years. We'll also be holding a Welcome to Hogwarts dance for the first years the day before. The dance will be November 2. Thank you and enjoy your breakfast." Dumbledore anonnced.

"Do you think I should ask Hermione?" Harry asked Ron.

"I think someone already did." Ron answered. He was looking over at the other end of the table. Harry guessed that was where Hermione was since she was still mad at them. (He thought if he asked her to the dance she would be happy with him again.) He followed Ron's eyes to the other side of the table and saw something he really didn't want to see.

"Draco." He stated. He saw Draco Malfoy asking Hermione something. Hermione saw Harry and Ron looking at her and he saw her say yes. Harry couldn't be more crushed. Meanwhile.

"So I'll see you at 8." Draco smiled.

"Yes of course." Hermione giggled. She really wasn't happy with the fact she was using Malfoy to get back at Harry and Ron but she had to. She really didn't want anything to do with the guy who called her the worst name she could think of but she found no other way.

Hermione turned her head just in time to see Harry storm out of the Great Hall. She heard Ron call after him as he ran out too.

Hermione was tempted to run after them but she knew that they would then figure out that she wasn't mad at them anymore. She wished she could cry.

Meanwhile.

"I can't believe she would do this to me." Harry cried as he sat on the window sill in the boys' dorimitories.

"Neither can I." Ron patted him on the back.

"Harry, Ron." They heard a voice call from downstairs. They were sure it was Lavender Brown.

"How do I look? Am I cute? What should I do?" Ron started to pace.

"Is there something I should know?" Harry asked.

"I have a HUGE crush on Lavender." Ron spat out.

"Oh." Harry replied. "You look fine."

"Harry, Ron." Lavender called again.

"Coming." Ron called back.

They ran down the stairs to where Lavender was standing. "I've got a note for you Harry. Its from someone that didn't want me to tell you who it was from but you will find out. And Ron can I talk to you for a minute?" Lavender said.

"Sure." Ron answered shyly.
