She got dressed, got her books, and went in the common room to pass the two
hours till she could go down to breakfast. Settling down in the best lounge
chair in the common room she opened her worn-out book, Romeo and Juliet.
This book was her favorite non-magical book, it had all the love and
compassion that she wished for.
Before Hermione knew it, the common room was filled and she decided to head down to meet Draco, because he hated when she was late.
While stepping out of the Fat Lady's portrait Hermione stumbled on her untied shoe and fell forward on her face. All she could hear was the laughter of people behind her. Gathering all the dignity she could, she carefully picked herself up and turned around to retrieve her books.
It was complete silence, everyone was looking at her, staring. Then one chuckle, another, and before Hermione knew it the whole common room was rolling on the floor, crying from laughter. Everyone in the common room, except one. Harry.
"Oh Hermione, are you alright? Do you need me to do anything for you?" Harry said while picking up her books off the ground.
Their eyes met and they froze. Hermione's heart started to pound. They stood there for it seemed like forever, just staring at each other. The Hermione snapped out of it. "Gosh Harry, I can handle everything on my own okay? Just get out of my way!" Hermione grabbed her books from Harry's hands and rushed out. Before she turned the corner she looked back. Harry was still there looking and staring like before. All Hermione wanted to do was shout out, "I Love You Harry!" but she knew she could never.
She saw Draco coming towards her. "Hey Babe! What's up?" Draco said. He leaned over to kiss her, but she turned away and he hit her cheek. Draco just shrugged it off and started to put his arm around Hermione but then and a yell from behind them.
"Hermione wait! I wanted to." It was Harry. When he saw Draco he stopped.
"What do you want Potter?" Draco asked with disgust. "Oh, umm, well you left this book, I was just returning it to you in hopes that." Harry trailed off. "In hopes of what Harry?" Hermione asked with curiosity. "Oh, well, never mind." Harry said looking down in defeat. "Yea that's what I thought Potter, nothing in his stupid brain I tell you." Draco said. Harry gave the book to Hermione without looking up. He then lifted his face to look at Hermione once more, and trudged into the Great Hall.
"God he's so stupid, I don't know how you put up with him for six years." Draco turned and looked at Hermione. "What's wrong?" he asked her. Hermione was thinking about Harry's strange reactions. "Oh, umm, nothing, lets go, I'm hungry." Hermione said. So Draco and Hermione walked into the Great Hall together, hand in hand.
