9:55 p.m

Sorry i didn't write the other day, I was so exhausted last night after i finished all my homework. Ron seems to think I over work' myself.

HA!!

Me over work myself... pish..... I simply just spend most of my time doing my homework and studying for tests, and for exams that wont be for at least another eight months, and I do extra reading just in case we have a pop quiz.....

ermmmmm................

I DON'T NOT OVER WORK MYSELF!!!!!!!

Harry's said the same thing, except he's much nicer about it, (Ron's always pestering me, stupid git............) He just looks at me strangely, with this half smile type thing, those bright green pools locked on mine and says........Hermione slow down a bit, you'll wear yourself out then who can I pester in History of Magic! *Sigh* Ahhhhhhhhhh *Is lost in Harry land*

*Cough* Well any ways.......... I haven't any home work tonight, so i went down onto the grounds earlier and....*blush*


*Flashback*

A cool breeze wafted through the air and played with my hair, caressing my face with calming fingers. I sighed and closed my eyes, tilting back my head I started at the moon, its white shape formed into a crescent, a sprinkle of familiar constellations shimmering against the deep blue of the night.

I stood on the Quidditch field. I wasn't quite sure what had brought me down here, I guess it reminded me of Harry. Whatever the reason I stood there now, cloak loose on my shoulders and my nicely curled hair let down from its ponytail.

Grinning I lowered my head and suddenly caught a quick glimpse of a maroon figure on a broom, streaking across the sky with amazing speed. My brow furrowed and I curiously crept forward. Gryffindor didn't have flying practice today, harry had told me so. So who would be out tonight?

I entered the field carefully my head tilted upwards, watching the red flash of a person race across the sky. I grinned, suddenly wishing I wasn't so terrified of heights, flying looked so wonderful.

Lost in my day dream, the person upon the broom had swooped steadily lower, obviously having noticed my presence. I shook my head and looked to see who it was.

Black rimmed lenses flashed in the moonlight, and wind swept black hair played in the wind. I caught my breath a blush coloring my already pink cheeks.

What are you doing out here Miss. Granger, Harry said in a mock reprimanding voice, jumping off his broom a few feet above the ground, a dashing smile playing across reddened lips. Desperate to hide my happiness I forced a cocky grin. Well well well, Mr. Potter, I could ask you the same thing. I crossed my arms seriously, Harry saw right through it and chuckled. My knees grew week at the sound and I leaned back against the stands, a strange anger rising in me. How could he make me feel such strange things with out even knowing?

Harry approached and stood beside me. Its beautiful out isn't it? I commented softly staring at the moon. I turned at his tone, but he too was staring at the moon, a soft pink color rising to his cheeks, I dismissed it as a reaction to the cold.

We were silent for some time, staring at the moon and stars, and every so often I would glance sideways at my best friend.
I was about to suggest we go inside when Harry blurted out, Do you wana go for a ride? I frowned, On your broom? I asked stupidly. Harry grinned, No on my back, of course on my broom silly, he said teasing me gently, I blushed and bowed my head. Im dreadfully afraid of heights, you know that. I said cursing myself for not agreeing and hoping on like I so wished to do. Harry's smile grew into a broad handsome grin that all the girls screamed over. But I'll be there, holding you, he said in a mock seductive voice. I giggled like a little school girl, covering my mouth with one gloved hand.

You have to promise not to go to fast or too high, I said firmly, but my smile lingered dangerously on my lips. Harry's face brightened and he lowered his glimmering FireBolt from his shoulder. What ever the lady wishes, he whispered huskily and I inwardly cursed him for being so handsome and charming. Carefully I swung onto the broom, my bum pressed against the carefully clipped tail. No, no, no, Harry said waving a finger in my face as if I were a child. I frowned I was cut off by Harry pushing me forwards to the front of the broom. I opened my mouth to protest but Harry mounted behind me and covered my hands with his, pressing his body against me. My breath stopped and my heart skipped a beat, then began to race at an amazingly fast speed.

Your going to fly today Hermione, Harry whispered in my ear, I shivered as his hot breath tickled my neck, but he didn't seem to notice. Suddenly Harry kicked off. I gasped and clung to the broom, squeezing my legs tightly together. You have to relax Hermione, other wise you actually will fall off, Harry said, a slight bit of humor creeping into his voice. I blushed and loosened my grip on the broom, but I was amazed that he kept his firm grip on my tiny hands.

Flying was as wonderful as I had imagined. The air was cool and soft higher up, and it was fascinating to have my feet dangling above the ground. Everything was great, Harry guided me slowly higher and fast, his warm body pressed against me his hands lightly caressing mine as he guided my motions. Everything was great... up until I looked down. I froze. My body stiffened visibly and my face paled. Far below lay the castle and the Quidditch field, the winking lights of windows from the castle barely visible from our height.

Fear rose up in me and I began to shiver. Hermione!?!?! Are you all right?! But I couldn't answer a ringing had filled my ears and my vision grew patchy. Harry cursed loudly, and lifted me off the broom then swung me around to press my face into his warm solid chest. Suddenly I could breath again and I began to cry, silently cursing myself for looking like a fool. Harry wrapped one strong arm around me, half for comfort, half for safety, and guided the broom slowly downwards.

My soft sobs stopped half way down and I deftly dried my tears on Harry uniform, knowing he wouldn't care. There was a small jolt has Harry touched the ground, and he hastily lifted me off the broom and set me on the ground.

Oh I'm so sorry Hermione! It was dumb of me! I knew you were afraid of heights and I still forced you.... I silenced him with a pale hand over his lips. Shh, you didn't force me to do anything, that was wonderful, next time I'll remember not to look down, I smirked, and Harry let out the breath he had been holding. Well lets get back to the castle then he said grinning broadly and helped me to my feet.

The common room was empty when Harry and I entered. I turned to Harry smiling warmly, Goodnight Harry and thanks for the ride, I whispered and turned to go up to the girls dormitory, but Harry grabbed my arm and kissed me gently on the cheek and said huskily Goodnight Hermione, then disappeared into his dormitory. My face burned and I touched a shaking hand to the blessed part of my face, with a giddy smile a slipped quietly into my own dormitory.

*Present*

Ginny says Harry was flirting, but I'm not sure I believe her. I'm just grateful I didn't puke all over him, like I usually do when faced with heights *shiver* that would have reallllly sucked.

It was so wonderful diary, I've never felt so......safe......... (except for the height's part) When Harry held me against him, it was as if...... everything bad in the world had disappeared and there was only him and his warm embrace.

*BLUSH!!!!!!*


I sound like a bloody poet! Geeze! This is what I get for being a writer! *Curses herself*

But it really was wonderful.......... *is getting lost again*

STOP! No more! Lord I can't get him out of my mind! Its like my whole life revolves around him, every five minutes I think of him. His green eyes, Great smile..........

Its no wonder every girl's in love with him...... what chance do I have?

I mean he claims he doesn't like Cho any more...... but what if he was just feeling guilt for Credric's death......

I wish I didn't feel this way, everything would be so easier........... but no matter what I do......or how hard I try not to.......I love Harry Potter
