Too Real To Be Pretend

A/N: Ok…just trying to keep the story going….running out of ideas over here. Review and tell me any ideas you have (for this story or a new one) and I'll try to make it happen for ya! (Gosh I had spell check, those red lines are SO annoying). Anyways, enjoy this as much as possible…sorry, this work isn't my best one…XD. There really was a lot of snogging in the last chapter, wasn't there? lol.

Chapter Five

          Hermione woke feeling a little different. She yawned and realized that she was still in her school uniform when she looked down and was shocked to see none other than her pretend boyfriend laying with his head upon her chest. Oh my God, she thought, What the HELL happened here last night? She couldn't remember doing anything NC-17 rated last night and she didn't feel pain anywhere, especially not there. I don't think we did anything…She struggled to free her arm from under Harry who mumbled about something when she did manage to free herself. His arms were wrapped around her rather tightly, so she could not free her other arm as well. She poked her head out from behind her canopy to see if anybody was awake yet…the rest of the girls were sleeping soundly. Thank God. She strained to check Harry's watch, it was only 5:30 in the morning. She struggled to shake Harry awake. He grumbled and simply turned over in his sleep. She frowned at him and resisted the urge to slap him awake. She shook him again to no avail. With a sigh, she pinched him with all her might on the arm. He jumped and she covered his mouth as he yelped. He sat up glaring at her as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He stared at her for a minute, then looked around the room. He looked back at her confused.

          "Where am I?" Harry asked groggily. Hermione silenced him with a loud, "Shh!"

          "The girl's dormitory, genius!" Hermione growled quietly. "What are you doing in here?"

          "Well, you fell asleep on me, so I brought you up here…and I guess I was really tired too and fell asleep while tucking you in, or else I wouldn't be in here." He pulled back the curtain slightly and peered around the room. "Its rather nice in here, actually." Hermione squawked in outrage before swatting him lightly on the arm.

          "Harry, do you realize you could be expelled for spending the night in here?!" Hermione asked, struggling to keep her voice down. Harry shrugged.

          "It was an accident," he replied matter-of-factly. "And why did you wake me up? Its only 5:30!" he complained, laying back down.

          "Harry! You can't stay in here!" Hermione cried.

          "Watch me," he murmured sleepily. "Go back to sleep, nobody's going to care. They've already seen us snog like mad in the library, and besides, Seamus does it all the time." Hermione was about to retaliate, but decided to save her breath. She got back under the covers and snuggled down into them. Harry reached an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him. She blushed momentarily but snuggled into his embrace anyway. Her head fit perfectly in the crook of his neck. Harry sighed in content and kissed the top of her head before drifting off to sleep once again.

          Hermione swatted at the hand that kept shaking her. "Go away," she mumbled into her pillow.

          "Hermione! Its Lavender! Wake up!" a voice whispered. The hand came back and began shaking her again. Hermione slowly opened her eyes and turned in annoyance to glare at Lavender Brown.

          "What do you want?" she demanded sleepily.

          "You've got to get Harry out of here!" she said. "The other girls are gonna wake up soon." Hermione looked at her confused, then remembered she had a special guest sharing her bed with her.

          "Oh, right. Thanks, Lav," Hermione said. Lavender sighed and nodded before rolling her eyes and muttering something like, "amateurs" as she stalked off to the bathroom. Hermione turned back to Harry and began to shake him gently. His eyes fluttered open slowly and he yawned groggily. "Morning sleepyhead," Hermione whispered softly. Harry smiled at her and sat up a bit. "You'd better get going soon, the girls are gonna start waking up in a few minutes." Harry yawned again and nodded. Hermione heard Lavender walking back from the bathroom. Harry looked worried, but Hermione shook her head. "Don't worry, its just Lav. She's already seen you." Harry peered out from the curtains and stepped down from the bed as quietly as he could. Hermione followed suit. She missed the warmth and support his body had given her when they had been sleeping together (a/n: hah! That sounds so wrong, lol!). She smiled at him as he stood there before her while Lavender looked on in amusement. Harry hugged Hermione briefly and planted a soft kiss on her lips before exiting the room to head off to his own dormitory. "Don't gimme that look, Lav," Hermione warned.

          "What look!?" Lavender asked innocently.

          "The one I know you're about to give me," Hermione retorted. Lavender just giggled.

          "So…did you two have fun?" she asked wickedly.

          "Oh you!" Hermione said, throwing a pillow at Lavender. "I fell asleep on the couch last night and Harry was simply bringing me up but he accidentally fell asleep too while he was tucking me in." Lavender simply giggled some more.

          "Do you know how lame that sounds?"

          "What!? Its true!" Hermione insisted. Lavender waved her off saying, "yeah, yeah" as she dug through her trunk to find her robes for the day. Hermione grumbled a little before heading to the bathroom to wash the layers of sleep away.

          Hermione blushed when she saw Harry waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs. She slowly descended the last few steps until she stood before him. "So…" she said, rocking back and forth on her heels.

          "Breakfast?" Harry asked, dazzling her with his smile.

          "Sure," she replied. It looked like he wasn't going to make a big deal about his spending the night in her bed. Well if he was okay with it, then so was she. He took her hand and walked with her down to the Great Hall for some breakfast.

A/N: Some chapter, eh? Lol. Nothing major happening here, just HARRY SPENDING THE NIGHT WITH HERMIONE! Hehehe. Luckily they weren't caught. I know if I found out my 16 year old daughter was spending the night with a guy in her bed…there would be some serious whoop-ass goin' on. XD But maybe that's just me…but on the other hand, they didn't do anything, so I wouldn't mind as much. But I would still whoop her ass for having a guy in her bed period. Anyways, R/R, don't flame me, I already know it sucks, I don't need you're put-downs as well.
