Harry's Secret: Hermione's Crush
A/N: Thank you all my reviewers!!! NO FLAMES ALLOWED!! H/Hr ROX!! Anyway, onto Chapter 3!!
1 Chapter 3: The First Morning and Notepassing in Binn's Class
The next morning, Harry felt that he was in a strange dream. Last night, Hermione had come up to him while he was drifting off to sleep, and SHE KISSED HIM! "Oh lord, am I hallucinating? Hopefully not!" Harry thought to himself. He slowly hoisted himself out of bed and rummaged around for his clothes.
In the girls' dorm, Hermione was basically doing the same thing, only she was frantically searching for her brush.
"Where in God's name is my BRUSH?" she bellowed.
"Calm down Mione, it's right here," Lily replied, handing her her brush.
Hermione began to brush out her hair vigorously.
"Gawd, Mione. If I didn't know better, I would say you are trying to look good for somebody," Lily teased. Hermione turned bright magenta.
"Uh…no of course not Lils," she stammered. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Mione, I'm not blind you know. I can see that you are trying to look good for a boy. And, I believe I know who it is," Lily said. She grabbed Hermione's wrist and whispered. "Harry Potter." Hermione gasped.
"How-how did you k-know?" she stammered. Lily laughed.
"Oh gawd Mione, it doesn't take a smarty pants to figure that you like him. It is so obvious." Lily smiled and patted Hermione's hand. "Don't worry, I won't tell him. But," she added, seeing the look of relief cross over Hermione's face. "You should. He likes ya Mione, anyone with eyes would see." And with that, Lily got up and headed for the door. "Oh, if you don't believe me, see for yourself at breakfast." She called over her shoulder as she left. Hermione gave her hair one last brush before grabbing her bag and scurrying after Lily.
As the two Gryffindors entered Great Hall, they hurried over to the Gryffindor table, and began to eat breakfast.
"Mmmmm this is so good," Lily said through a mouthful of pancakes.
"I'll say. This is delicious." Hermione agreed through a chunk of sausage.
"Oh look! Mail's here!" Ron shouted.
A swooping noise suddenly filled the room. Lindsey looked up and gsaped. About a thousand owls in different sizes, and colors were swooping down from the ceiling. They were now swooping down to the students, dropping letters and parcels into their hands. Lily, Hermione, Ron, Harry, Lavender and Parvati all got either packages or letters. Lily opened her letter and read:
Dearest Lily,
It's been only a day and your father and I miss you terribly. Amy, Jessica and Lisa (her sisters) always ask when is Lily coming home? How are you settling into Hogwarts? I hope all is well, and you have found new friends. We are fine, but very lonely without you. Aphrodite (A/N: That's Lily's owl) found us alright. We hope you like what we sent you. We thought it would help you settle in more.
Love From,
Mum, Dad, Ams, Jessie, and Lisa
P.S. DO NOT OPEN THIS PACKAGE AT THE TABLE…you'll find out why when you open it in your dorm.
"Wow, I wonder what it is," Hermione said, peering over Lily's shoulder.
"Me too. What do we have first today?" Lily asked.
"We have History of Magic," Harry answered. He paused and added. "With the Slytherins."
Lily could have cried out loud. "Hey Harry, Ron, Mione, maybe…you could introduce me to Malfoy?" She asked hopefully,
Ron smiled. "Sure. By the way he was looking at you last night, he'll be happy to meet you."
Lavender slapped him playfully "Oh Ronnie, don't scare her," she said sarcastically.
"Don't worry love, I won't," Ron replied kissing her softly.
Harry covered Hermione's eyes. "No Hermione. We cannot watch ickle Ronnie and his girlfriend snog at breakfast."
"HEY!!" Ron shouted, but Harry and Hermione had already bolted out the door… hand in hand.
*******************************
Later, as the group was in History, a piece of paper landed on Lily's desk. She looked around, picked it up and read:
Don't you think Harry and Hermione make a terrific couple? If so, meet me, Parvati and Ron in the Common Room tonight at midnight. We are going to do some match making plans!
From,
Lavender
PS: You can call me Lav.
Lily looked up, and spotted Lavender and Ron looking in her direction. She smiled and nodded to show that she would. Ron grinned and gave her the two thumbs up sign. She turned back to find another note on her desk. Curious, she picked it up. It said:
Lily,
My name is Draco Malfoy. I am a Slytherin. I know it is stupid, for a Gryffindor and Slytherin to meet, but I would like to get to know you. Meet me in the Astronomy Tower at midnight tomorrow night.
Signed,
Draco B. Malfoy (A/N: I'm making Draco's middle name Benjamin because in my favorite fanfiction about him, that's his middle name.)
Lily looked wildly around for a quill, hastily scribbled Yes, of course I'll be there if I don't get caught by Filch, and tossed the paper to Malfoy. He picked it up, read it, turned around and smiled brightly at Lily. She returned the smile.
*******************
Later at lunch, Lily was in total heaven. "Oh my lord, I am in heaven!" She sighed dreamily.
"Hello-o? Earth to Lils? LILY MARISA DAVIS!" Hermione shouted in her ear. Lily jumped.
'Oh my god, I'm sorry." She muttered, turning pink. Hermione lowered her voice.
"Did Draco ask you out?" she whispered.
"No, he asked me to meet him in the Astronomy Tower tomorrow night." She responded. Hermione's eyes widened.
"Oh my word. Lils, one do you know where it is? And two, did you know that is the one place where guys go to ask girls out?" she asked. Lily stared.
"No I don't know where it is. And oh my lord. Do you think… he'll ask me out?" Lily squeaked. Hermione cocked her head to one side, then answered.
"Well, yes, if he likes you. And I think I have a way for you to get to the Tower." She whispered.
"Really, how?" she whispered back. Hermione looked around, to make sure nobody was listening, then bent down.
"Ok. Harry has a map of Hogwarts. You can find your way around." Hermione whispered. Lily's eyes went wide.
"Do you think he'll let me?" she whispered back.
"Sure," Hermione smiled. Suddenly she remembered something. "Hey, what was in that package that your Mum and Dad sent you?" Lily clapped a hand to her forehead.
"Oh my. I forgot all about that!" And with that she and Hermione bolted up the stairs to go unwrap the mystery package.
****************8
Lily seized the packages once she and Hermione got into the dorm and ripped it open. Something silvery and soft fell to the floor. Lily let out a gasp.
"It's-it's a Firebolt 3000" she breathed.
"Harry has a Firebolt too. He says they're the top-of-the-line broom." Hermione added, looking in awe at it. Lily looked over at Hermione in disbelief.
"You really like him don't you?" Lily whispered. Hermione nodded eagerly. "Why don't you ask him out?"
"Oh… I couldn't. I'd be too embarrassed." Hermione said turning red.
"Ok, whatever Mione." Lily said as she linked arms with her. "But," she thought to herself, "if I am right, you will get with him soon enough."
A/N: That's the chapter 3! Chapter 4 will be out soon! I already know whats in store for Harry and Hermione and the gang. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!!! FLAMES ARE NOT WELCOME!!!!
