Hermione woke up. It took a while for her to remember what had happened that night. Once she remembered, she felt an extreme warmness engulf her. She thought, "I'm so lucky to have a friend like Harry." Then, what she had been worrying about the entire time rushed back with a vengeance, "Why did I kiss his cheek?!" She asked aloud. Thankfully, she didn't wake anyone up.

She got dressed and went downstairs to the common room. Harry was still asleep on the couch.

"Harry, come on, wake up already!"

"Huh? What? What am I doing here?"

"You feel asleep, remember?"

"Oh, yeah. You okay?"

"Sort of."

"Does someone need a hug?" Harry teased.

"No, you silly goose, I'm fine."

"I didn't know I had my own nick name."

"Shut up!"

"Awww, I'm so hurt. One minute I have a nick name, now I'm being told to shut up."

"Grr. I'm going to go grab some breakfast. You want me to wait for you?"

"Naw, go ahead. I won't be that long."

"All right."

Harry watched Hermione as she walked out. He headed up to his dorm and got dressed.

At that very moment, he realized he'd completely forgotten about the letter. Uh-oh that cannot be a good thing, what would happen? There's deciding not to go and there's completely spacing on it. Man, he should've had Hermione wait. Too late, well he can't worry about nothing. He'll talk to Hermione about it, she always knows what to do.



"Oh, no!" Hermione thought. "He didn't go last night, I mean, that's a good thing, but we still don't know who sent the note or what they wanted. I guess I'll just have to wait until he gets he goes to breakfast. Oh, well."

Hermione then headed down to the Great Hall. As she walked into the hall, she fainted at the sight she saw.

"Hermione, Hermione, come on. Wake up." Ron pleaded

"What? OH, RON! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU DID?!"

"Hermione, calm down. It's not what you think."

"IT'S NOT WHAT I THINK?! I KNOW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT I SAW!"

"THIS IS WHY I DIDN'T TELL YOU!"

"SO ALL IF THIS IS MY FAULT! OH, THAT'S RICH!"

"IT IS YOUR FAULT! I KNEW YOU'D REACT THIS WAY!"

"I'M ONLY REACTING THIS WAY BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO TELL ME YOURSELF! I HAD TO STUMBLE UPON IT!"

"Oh."

"DON'T 'Oh' ME. DIDN'T YOU EVER THINK I'D SUPPORT YOU?"

"I just- I just- I just thought that-"

"OH, YOU THOUGHT! LET'S GIVE YOU A PRIZE! NOW, WHAT ON EARTH COULD THAT PRIZE BE?"

"Hermione, I just didn't think you'd understand."

"Well, then, you obviously don't know me as well as you thought you did."

Hermione ran out of the Great Hall. Though she didn't realize it, her screams were heard throughout the entire castle. When Harry heard it, he quickly began to run to the Great Hall. On the way, he ran into none other than Hermione herself.

"Hermione, what happened?"

"It's a very confusing story."

"Like, how confusing?"

"Like, so confusing that even you would be blown."

"There's only one way to find out if I'll be blown."

"All right-here goes."
