Wow, my first Harry Potter Fic! (I did some 2-minute stupid stories on
Wheel of Time) Yes, I know I have NO ability, but to improve my English
mark, I will give it a try! Please Read and Review, tell me what I should
do to make it better! -Thanks!

Hermione looked up through the frosted window at the stars. She found them rather fascinating, they were old as time and told stories that no one could guess. Tales of conquest power and love. Of course, the scientific side to them was amazing too. Made eons ago by-
"Hey, Hermione!"
She looked up and found that Ron was standing behind her.
"You've got that look on you again."
She nodded. "Uh-huh."
"'Mione! You look all- glazed over. You've been off day- dreaming again, haven't you?"
She tried to look taken aback, but only half-succeeded.
"I just feel. kind of. insubstantial. Like I'm here but part of me isn't. I probably am just tired. I've been up late studying for the OWLS for the past week." She got an incredulous look from Ron.
"Hermione, the aren't for another two weeks."
She suddenly looked worried. Her eyes got wider and she gestured wildly with her hands.
"I know! I have to review so much before than! I still haven't gotten around to re-reading the potion's book-"
Ron broke in. His face looked exasperated and he rolled his eyes skyward.
"Yes, I'm sure that you do, but in case you've forgotten, you have to help me with my potions homework, since I didn't get it done during class like you. You did say." He trailed off.
"Alright then! Let's go to the library. Do try to keep from turning books to ash this time though-" She paused and snickered. "We got in enough trouble last time. I'll meet you there, and don't forget the powdered frog toes!" With that she hurried out of sight. Ron faintly heard the portrait swing open and close. Well, better go and fetch my stuff he thought and half-ran- half jogged up the steps to his dormitory.
Ron found his cauldron already filled with the supplies he needed. He could -occasionally- remember to think ahead. As he stepped through the portrait hole, he found himself thinking about Hermione. She's a great friend, I really am lucky to know her. He thought. Especially considering how bad I am in Potions! He laughed quietly to himself. She had gotten him and Harry out of countless scrapes in the past 6 years they had been together at Hogwarts.
Ron walked down the halls quickly. He was tall and lanky, his flaming red hair even more unruly as he had gotten older. He looked more serious, and quite a bit more handsome. Of course, the girls had noticed too. Not that he really liked any of them all that much. Yeah, some were nice, but nothing amazing. He felt guilty sometimes, he knew that he shouldn't be so picky, but they weren't what he was looking for.
~*~*~
Hermione sat down at one of the desks that were splayed around the library. She got out some books and waited for Ron to arrive. She looked around, and quickly cast a charm on the table to resist becoming stained or ruined. She felt a little guilty, but it was better than having to clean up another messed-up potion.
~*~*~ Ron walked through the halls quickly, trying not to spill the contents of his cauldron, which was filed with books, magic ingredients and parchment and quills. Not all of it was for potions, Ron was hoping Hermione would help him with transfiguration too. She's so smart. Well, I guess part of that is she has almost no other life besides school. Well, that and helping Harry and me. He thought that it was a bit of a waste. I mean, she pretty enough, and really smart. Really smart. That could be a bit of a drawback too, though. If she tried to get a boyfriend, there would most probably be a whole bunch of guys that would love to. He sighed. I wouldn't be one of them though.
He tried to push the thought away. She's my best friend! She will never feel that way about me! She thinks of me as. a brother and anyway, I'm not smart enough. "Oof !"
He had ran smack into another student! He automatically started to apologize, but he swallowed his words in favor of less polite ones when he saw who he had run into.
"Malfoy! Watch where you're going!" He glared at Draco Malfoy and shuddered. His eyes were grayish-silver. That wasn't the problem though. In the eyes was utter hatred and contempt. Ron couldn't help but feel a little unnerved. Looking into those eyes made you feel. unworthy. Like you should feel guilty for even existing. He blinked, and felt instantly better. Those eyes. Ughh!
"Watch it! Stupid git! Well, stop sitting there! Get out of my way!" Malfoy jumped up and strode past Ron importantly. The little. Hermione! She'll kill me if I am late! And I need help on my potion. Ron stood up and sighed. All his books and papers had been flung across the hall. He spent ten minutes picking it all up, and another five searching for a quill that had fallen into a dusty corner He half-ran the rest of the way to the library, cursing Malfoy in his head.
~*~*~ Well? Did ya love it? Hate it? Tell me!!!! And I have another Chapter coming up soon, like, tomorrow or sooner! I need plot ideas! Well, bye! Ps- basically first fic, the one I wrote before was just for fun, I wanted to do something and was bored, so I REALLY need advice!
