Harry lent forward, he could feel the soft touch of Hermione's lips against
his, reaching out he cupped her face with his left hand and went to kiss
her.
Without warning the ink bottle beside them smashed sending ink and glass everywhere, Harry pulled back, Hermione's eyes shot open and she pulled away from Harry and his touch she looked upset. She jumped to her feet and Harry realised that she was upset, without a word she raced from the library. Stumbling to his feet Harry called after Hermione who disappeared out of the door, a few students were now watching what was going on, but Harry paid them no attention as he followed Hermione.
He skidded to a stop in the corridor, he looked up and down but he couldn't see her anywhere.
Ginny was sitting in the library, tucked into a corner; she had seen the whole thing. Before Harry and Hermione had entered the library, she had been studying the book that belonged to her mother, trying to figure out where she could get the ingredients for the potions, she still didn't know if she really wanted to use the potion on Harry, she had just turned a page when Harry and Hermione entered the library. Ginny sank lower into her seat as she watched them sit down. She soon noticed that Harry really wasn't paying any attention, just sitting staring into space, then Hermione was talking to him showing something in a book, then it happened, Ginny watched as they both lent forward at the same time, she felt hatred boil up in her veins,
"Harry doesn't like Hermione" she told herself, Ginny's eyes narrowed into slits as they lips went to touch, she found herself muttering a spell under her breath, then the ink bottle smashed. Ginny couldn't believe what she had just done, she quickly got up and gathered her belongings, she heard Harry calling Hermione's name as she rushed out of the library, she watched as Harry raced after Hermione, keeping her head low she made her way out of the library, only to bump into someone, the book fell to floor and opened on the page she had been looking at.
"Watch it Weasly" Ginny looked up to find Draco Malfoy standing glaring at her, then he noticed the book, he picked it up before Ginny could get it.
"What's this?" he asked
"Give it here"
"Love spell's and potions" Malfoy said reading off the title
"Trying to get someone to fall in love with you," Malfoy scorned
"Give it back now" Ginny hissed at him trying to get hold of the book. Malfoy broke into a grin,
"I might be able to get you want you want Weasly" he said handing the book back he was already plotting evil thoughts
Malfoy watched as Ginny almost ran from him clutching the book to her, he knew that he could rope Ginny along with this. Still smiling to himself, Malfoy headed along the corridor to the Slytherin common room, he had just turned a corner when Hermione bumped into him.
"Watch it mud blood you could of knocked me down, I'm sure the rest of the Slytherin team wouldn't like to hear that their star seeker was injured by a filthy mud blood like you." Hermione glared at him, glad to see that his eye was still black and blue.
"I think it would give them chances at winning, Slytherin haven't really done well at all since you joined the team, I guess I was right when I said that pure talent was needed for qudditch."
Malfoy's eyes narrowed
"If you think that Gryffindor are so good, why don't you try and go for the new beaters place."
"Okay I will," Hermione said surprising Malfoy,"I'll show you what talent is" She said before walking away. Hermione found Fred in the common room sitting plying wizard's chess with his twin George. They both smiled as she took a seat next to them.
"Hay Hermione, by the way Harry's been looking for you every where, he seemed a bit upset has something happen," Hermione ignored the question.
"Fred have you found a new beater,"
"Not yet, I'm thinking we might have to forfeit the first game, why!"
"Can I try out for the place," Fred was quite taken back.
"Er yeah, if you come to the qudditch field next Monday, we'll see how good you are, After talking with Fred Hermione made her way up to her dormitory only to bump into Harry.
"Hermione," He said stopping dead in his tracks, "about what happened in the library," but he didn't get a chance to finish as Hermione pushed past him without a word,
"Hermione wait we need to talk," he taking hold of her arm, she turned sharply, and Harry saw tears in her eyes.
"I understand Harry if you want to forget about what happened in the library but I can't" with that Harry watched with a heavy heart as Hermione pulled away from him and raced into her dormitory. He stood for a while looking at the closed door, and then slowly made his way to his own dormitory, where he sat on the edge of his bed and stared at the floor lost in though.
"You okay Harry" Ron said at the breakfast the next morning, Harry couldn't be bothered with food, he had been awake all night, thoughts running though his mind, mainly about Hermione not liking him. Ron watched Harry as he pushed the food around his plate.
"Are you sure you okay, you look like you haven't slept a wink." Ron said biting into a slice of bacon. Harry sighed and pushed his plate away and stood up.
"Where you going, double potions starts in ten minutes Snape will mostly likely kill you if you're late."
"Look I can't be bothered with potions today, just tell Snape I'm sick or something.", Ron watched as Harry walked away.
Harry didn't know where to go, he couldn't face the library and he didn't fancy sitting in the common room with only his thoughts for company, so he decided to find Hagrid.
"Sit down 'arry" Hagrid said pushing Fang off one of the large arms chairs, but as soon Harry had sat down Fang came up and placed his large head on Harry's knees, almost as if he knew that Harry was upset.
"So what brings you here Harry you not missing a lesson are you," Harry shook his head
"Not really, Hagrid I need to talk to you about something." Harry sat patting Fang on the head as Hagrid poured them a cup of tea.
"Talk away then Harry."
"Its about Hermione, I tried to kiss her in the library, but it all went wrong and I think Hermione thinks I don't like her." to his surprise Hagrid was laughing.
"Ah! Harry I just had Hermione in here, don't worry I told her that you like her, she waiting for you in potions, I think you need to talk to her"
Without warning the ink bottle beside them smashed sending ink and glass everywhere, Harry pulled back, Hermione's eyes shot open and she pulled away from Harry and his touch she looked upset.
