Chapter 2: Unexplained feelings
Harry was surprised to see Hermione at the foot of the staircase going to the girls' dorm. Hermione was in her yellow, flowered nightdress with her pink robe on top. While Harry was in his blue, striped pajamas with his blue robe on top. "Harry, why are you up so late?", Hermione said to break the silence. Harry answered, "I can't get back to sleep because I had a dream and my scar started to hurt again." "Again?! Did you write to Sirius about it?", Hermione said while walking towards Harry and sitting down in an armchair beside his. "No, not yet. I'll tomorrow because Hedwig is tired.", Harry said looking at Hermione.
When Harry saw Hermione's face on the firelight that night he didn't see his best friend but instead someone who he really, really like or even loves. "She looks so beautiful.", Harry thought to himself. "Harry, are you okay?", Hermione said staring into his emerald green eyes. Harry finally came back to his senses and said, "Huh? Yeah, I'm fine." "Are you sure? Because you were looking at me strangely.", Hermione said.
Harry stared at the fire and Hermione stared at him with a worried look on her face. As Hermione stared at Harry she saw him not as her best friend and not as her crush but as someone she has feelings for then she thought to herself, "What is wrong with me? I can't believe that I think that he is so cute. I can't believe that I have feelings for my best friend." Then Harry turned his head and saw Hermione staring at him. "What? Is there something on my face, other than my scar?", Harry asked. "Huh? Oh, nothing.", Hermione answered. "Are you sure because you were staring at me all funny.", Harry said. Hermione answered, "Yeah, I'm sure." "Okay, I'm just wondering. Ahhh! My scar!", Harry screamed.
Harry's scar hurts so badly that he could barely keep his head up. "Harry, you better go up to bed and lie down.", Hermione said kneeling down in front of him. "How? I can barely stand up because of the pain.", Harry said with more pain surging through his scar. "Then I'll help you up to bed.", Hermione said with a worried tone in her voice.
Hermione help Harry out of his chair and led him towards the staircase going to the boys' dorm. Harry trips on the stairs on the way up and falls of Hermione and the stairs. "Harry, are you alright?", Hermione said with that worried tone in her voice again. "Yah, I'm alright but the pain is getting worse. Ahhhhhh!", Harry said with pain in his voice.
Harry and Hermione reached the door to the boys' dorm. Hermione opened the door as quietly as she could. They went into the dorm and to Harry' bed. Hermione helped Harry onto his bed and sat on the floor beside the bed. "Harry, are you feeling better now?", Hermione asked. "A bit.", Harry answered weakly. "Harry, listen I'll have to go now, okay?", Hermione said. "Herm, don't go yet. I might need your help later.", said Harry. Hermione answered, "Ron is here. Why don't you just wake him up?" "Because he won't wake up even how hard I try.", Harry answered. "Fine, I'll just stay until you go to sleep.", Hermione said. "Okay Herm. Thanks.", Harry answered.
After a few minutes, Harry fell asleep but Hermione didn't notice because she was looking out the window in deep thought. "What now? I know that I like Harry but I never knew that I would like, like him.", she thought to herself. Within minutes she fell asleep too on the floor beside Harry's bed.
Then Harry woke up in the middle of the night. Them he saw Hermione sleeping on the floor. "I really cannot believe that I'm falling in love with Hermione. One of my best friends, who looks past the famous Harry Potter and sees the real Harry Potter.", Harry thought to himself. He had a sudden urge to get out of bed and bring Hermione back to her bed in her dorm. But then Harry remembered that some of the girls in her dorm usually wake up at the slightest sound. So instead, he got out of bed and carried her on to her bed. Then he went back to sleep beside her. (A/N: Nothing happened between the both of them trust me. To me that is kind of disgusting. Plus they are too young.)
The next morning, Hermione woke up to the bright sunlight but she didn't remember where she was until he felt an arm around her waist. When she looked it was Harry. "He must've laid me on his bed when I accidentally fell asleep on the floor beside his bed.", she thought. Now she knew where she was, she was still in the boys' dorm. So she slowly got out of Harry's bed and started to head for the door but after a few steps she turned around and went back towards Harry and kissed him on the cheek and said a quiet "Thank you" to him. Then she started for the door again. Then she heard someone move.
"Maybe it's just Ron and I know that he won't tell, will he?", She thought to herself as she turned to look with her eyes shut but when she looked around the room none of the boys were awake. "I guess one of them moved a bit in his bed.", said Hermione to herself quietly. Then she opened the door as quietly as possible and slipped out of the room.
When she got to the foot of the staircase she saw someone sitting in an armchair in front of a roaring fire. Hermione tried to slip by the person but that someone heard her and turned to look at her.
"And where did you come from, Ms. Granger?", said the person. Hermione thought right away that it was Prof. McGonagall because of the "Ms. Granger" but . . .

A/N: I'm not going to tell you again who that person is you have to wait but during the wait think about it. I'm sorry that I have to keep you in suspense but I can't do anything. So just tell me what you think through your reviews and don't worry I'm working on the 3rd chapter already. Also tell me what I need to improve and don't worry I'll tell you in one of the chapters why Harry's scar hurt in his dream during 1st chapter. = )
