Chapter 2
That's What Friends Are For
Hermione Granger was sitting in the Gryffindor common room waiting for her two best friends to come down and join her for breakfast. It was her sixth year and she was a prefect.
"Mione!"
She turned to see Harry and Ron coming down the stairs and she headed towards them.
"Hey guys!"
They walked together towards the Great Hall where Justin, her boyfriend was waiting for them. He gave her a quick kiss, which made Harry flinch a bit. They had breakfast together. After eating, Hermione stood up.
"I forgot something at the prefect's office. I'll catch up to you guys at Potions"
She gave Justin a kiss and left.
After Potions, the trio headed towards Herbology, when Hermione stopped short. Harry gave her a puzzled look.
"What's wrong Mione?"
"I forgot my book in the dungeons. I'll go get it. You guys go on ahead."
"Are you sure you'll be alright?"
"I'll be fine Harry. Don't worry"
She ran back towards the dungeons and got her book. She was headed towards the greenhouse when she heard something. It sounded like someone snogging in the corridors. Since she was a prefect, she decided to see who it was and take of points. She turned at the corner and gasped. There was Justin snogging with another girl.
"Mione!"
"Ten points from Hufflepuff and ten points from Ravenclaw for snogging in the halls"
With that she left, she heard Justin running after her but she quickened her pace. He grabbed her arm and turned her to face him.
"Mione, I'm sorry"
"It's over Justin"
"But- "
Before he could say anything else, she had left. She headed towards her dorm and cried. She wasn't in the mood to attend any of her classes.
Meanwhile in Herbology, Harry was getting worried.
Where could she be, he thought.
After Herbology, Harry, headed towards the Prefect's dorm. Ron ran to catch up with him.
"Harry! Where are you going?"
"To see Mione"
"But you'll be late for Charms"
"You go on ahead."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
Ron headed towards Charms while Harry went to Hermione's room. He knocked at the door.
"Mione, please let me in"
The door opened to reveal a crying Hermione. She hugged him and began to cry. He carried her towards bed and sat her down. She told him what had happened and he held her as she cried. She wished she could stay in his arms forever. She always felt safe in his arms.
After a while, she stopped crying.
"I'm sorry Harry"
"Why are you sorry?"
"You missed your classes and practice because of me"
'It's alright though Wood is going to have my head for missing practice"
Harry laughed at the horrified expression on Hermione's face.
"Seriously, Mione, don't worry. It's okay, besides, that's what friends are for"
Hermione smiled and gave him a hug.
"Oh Harry"
Harry turned to look at the clock and saw that it was time for dinner.
"Mione, do you want to come down for dinner?"
"I'm not that hungry, you?"
"I'm not that hungry either"
Harry stood up and went to get Hermione's cd player and a familiar song filled the room.
And I never thought I'd feel this way
and as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
that I do believe I love you.
And if I should ever go away
well
then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
and then if you can remember:
Keep smilin'
keep shinin'
knowing you can always count on me for sure -
That's what friends are for.
For good times and bad times
i'll be on your side forever more -
That's what friends are for.
Well
you came and opened me
and now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you.
Oh
and then for the times when we're apart
Well
then close your eyes
and lovely words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember:
Keep smilin'
keep shinin'
. . .
Keep smilin'
keep shinin'
. . .
Hermione looked at Harry.
I'm really luck to have him. He's so sweet. He would make a girl very happy someday. I'll envy whoever it is, she thought.
Hermione kissed Harry on the cheek.
"Thanks Harry. You're the best friend a girl could ever have"
Harry blushed.
"No problem. What are friends for?"
