~Chapter 3~

(Yay!:))

~Hermione's POV, in her dormitory~

            In bed, Hermione had a better opportunity to think about Cho, and the situation that seemed to be going on around her.

            'How could Cho think that I would do that to her? How could she think that Harry would do that to her? Harry is a very loyal person. He would never let her down by cheating on her. He would just tell her how he felt, and then go out with the other person.'

            'Why would Cho think that Harry was "secretly" going out with me? I mean, there has never really been anything between Harry, and I. There have never been any romantic feelings between us, right?'

            It was also then, that she realized that there were romantic feelings between the two. Or, maybe they were just from her. 'Oh my gosh. I do feel something for him. He's such a big part of my life, I didn't realize it. He's like a constant. Always there, to help me. Always there, to catch me when I fall…I'm in love with Harry. But what if these are only one-sided feelings? What if he doesn't feel the same for me?'

            This is the part where panic sets in. 'Could I confess my feelings to him? And if I did, what would he do? What if he laughed? What if he just stared at her? Silence is horrible. I can't stand silence. Laughing is better than silence. I can't do it. There's no way he'll feel the same way, so I'll lose him. That's it, I'm not telling him. I can't.'

            She layed back in bed, and feeling anxious about the next morning, and what she would do, attempted to fall asleep.

~Harry's POV, in his dormitory~

            'What in the world is Ron talking about?! This 'under my nose' bull crap, is driving me insane. I have thought about almost every decent girl in this school, and I can't figure out who the hell he's talking about! And why is this bothering me so much?! I mean, why do I care who Ron thinks my perfect girl is. It should be my decision, right?'

            He was startled out of his thoughts, by someone else shouting, "Stop moving, or leave! Some people like to get a decent amount of sleep at night!"

            He lay still, trying to find his train of thought again. 'Oh yeah…yeah! Why do I care what Ron thinks?! I dunno, maybe because he's my best friend. But I would be really interested in knowing who it is. I wonder if I know her? She's probly in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. Those would be the only people I could think of. I'm not really going for a really shy girl, and all the Slytherin girls are just...*shudder*. Not my type.'

            He lay there, listing all the girls he could think of, not listing Hermione, of course. 'Hermione's not a girl! Hermione's my best friend. I couldn't ruin what we have to go out on a few dates.'

            None he could think of, would really be perfect for him. What was Ron getting at? Maybe he was just trying to mess with his mind. Yeah, that was it. Ron didn't really know, he just wanted Harry to go insane thinking about it. But if this was the case, then why had Ron said it was so very simple? He sat and thought a bit more about Ron's words.

            His attempts really were feeble. This girl was right under his nose, she was perfect for him, and yet here he lay, tossing and turning in bed, trying to figure out who in the world it was!

            He looked over to his glow-in-the-dark watch, and saw that it was already around 2:00, and decided it was time for bed. 'I'll think about this more, tomorrow. Maybe with a written list, this will be a bit easier to figure out…Oh, who am I kidding. I'll never figure it out. I'll just get Ron to tell me…Yeah, that's it. Okay, time to head off to sleep – if Ron didn't snore so frickin' loud! Urgh! Whatever, I'll make another feeble attempt'.

Read the next chapter, to find out what lays in store for Harry and Hermione. Will Ron give in and tell Harry?
