|I think I love you 3. |

I think I love you isn't That what life is made of And it worries me to say Do you think do you think do you think? You love me too. Kaci-I think I love you

Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment

Would you capture it or just let it slip?

Eminem-lose yourself

Dear Harry, How are you? I hope your relatives aren't getting you down. Are you ok? Of course you're not perfectly okay with the way your relatives treat you, I.. , Well never mind. I know I probably sound so stupid but with you-know-who rising again I have been thinking about you everyday. Oh Harry do be careful and don't do ANYTHING that could get you hurt. Please? I know you say that you don't look for trouble but it finds you instead, still. If trouble manages to find you run and hide. Okay. Are you going over to Ron's the last three weeks of the summer? Mrs.Weasley has spoken to Dumbledore. Your Aunt and Uncle better let you. I am allowed, I am glad my mum and dad were a bit mad about me fixing my teeth with magic but they've calmed down now. Maybe a bit mad is an understatement. I mean they're dentists, muggle dentists and they can't usually use magic to treat their patients. But they have seen sense to me changing my teeth. I mean come on I don't have to wear a brace at night anymore. Guess what I broke up with Victor. Ron is going to be happy, though I don't see what his big problem with Viktor was. It's not like he was in love with me or anything, gosh that thought's laughable. Anyway Viktor was just too old for me. Oh how my mother freaked when she heard I was dating him. It wasn't really a proper relationship anyway. For it to work one of us would have had to move and I quite like England. I was going to go over to his house for the summer but well I guess I'm not now. Well I have to go out now. I am doing work experience at my mum and dad's practice See you! I promise I'll write again really soon Lots of love Hermione xxx.





Harry read and re-read the letter again. Hermione had broken up with Krum. She broke up with a famous quidditch player.

But then again Hermione never really cared about fame. That's why she was such a good friend, she say Harry as Harry not as the famous Harry Potter that defied the Dark Lord Voldemort.

Harry was happy about that. But then he thought "why am I so happy about Hermione breaking up with her boyfriend, she's just my best friend."

Who Harry had recently gotten butterflies in his stomach everytime he though about her.

He began to realise that the way he felt about Hermione was different now.

"Do I love her" he thought to himself. "I can't she's my best friend." But then a voice in his head said, " does that matter."

Harry sat down he was confused. Why did he feel this way about Hermione, his best friend for over four years? Did she feel the same way?

He couldn't tell her; no he wouldn't be able to work up the nerve. She would never like him as more than a friend. Did Ron like Hermione?

Harry had begun to suspect that Ron liked Hermione when he was mad at her for dating Krum and when he couldn't think of a good enough reason for his anger.

Hermione, judging by her letter didn't seem very interested in Ron, romantically anyway.

Or maybe she really liked him but was afraid to tell Harry because he would tell Ron.

"I don't love her. I don't love her." Harry repeated to himself "she's just a friend, a friend." But then something in his heart told him what he was lying to himself.

He walked over to his desk and wrote a letter to Hermione telling her that he intended to go to Ron's house at the end of the summer, (if that wasn't already obvious).

He also said he was sorry about her breaking up with Krum (though he wasn't really) and that he promised to be safe.

He then locked his door, (he'd discovered where his Aunt and Uncle kept this key) and began to do his homework.

He few hours later he was called from his homework by his Uncle Vernon. "Boy, we're going out with Dudley to the cinema and Mrs. Figg can't mind you because she has gone away somewhere,"

He said angrily like it was Harry's fault that Mrs. Figg was gone somewhere.

"So we'll have to leave you here. I am not bringing after the way you ruined Dudley's 11th birthday."

Harry was thrilled about this. He didn't have to go with Dudley and Piers and he had the whole house to himself. And he didn't have to spend the whole day with Mrs.Figg and her best friends the cats.

Before they left Uncle Vernon gave Harry a stern warning about burning the house down etc.

He was about to leave then when he remembered something. "We are having the new neighbours over for dinner tonight. They obviously don't know about your abnormality so I want you to act like a normal person. Ok?

The only reason you're meeting them is because they live next door and they will probably see you someday so to avoid awkward questions later in you're meeting them now."

"Fine" replied Harry as the Dursleys left for cinema with Dudley.
