A/N well I know the first chapter was short and all but I promise this chapter will be longer. No pressure to review but it would be much appreciated.

"Harry, I have something to ask you,"

"Hermione, if it's what I think about professor Snape I don't want to go." but before Harry could finish Hermione butted in, "No, no. Okay I know this is going to sound weird but please don't laugh. I've been having nightmares and I can't remember them. I just wake up terrified and know it was a dream. Then I try and remember it but I can't, not one thing!" said Hermione all in one breath.

Harry could see Hermione was distressed and if it had been anyone else wanting advice on bad nightmares he would have been mad and offended. But this was one of his best friends and she needed his advice. The only problem was what could he do? But instead he asked;

"How long has this been happening?"

"For about a week and a half." She replied.

"Hermione I don't really know what to say because usually I remember my dreams but don't worry about it, I'll have a think and I'll come up with something. Come on let's go get some lunch."

As Harry turned to leave Hermione grabbed Harry's robe sleeve;

"Harry, umm. could you not tell anyone. Especially, Ron,"

Harry smiled; "Sure Hermione, your secret is safe with me."

And together they walked into the great hall for a quick lunch.

Harry and Ron had divination with Firenze. Ron had seen Hermione talking to Harry looking very distressed and kept harassing Harry all through class about it. Firenze got tired of hearing Ron whispering and sent him to inside the cave at the back of the classroom.

As interesting as Firenze's classes were Harry had time to think about the Hermione situation. Maybe he could enter her mind like Snape was doing last year when they were practicing occlumency. He didn't know how to do that so what else could he do?

The lesson was over and Harry was leaving class by himself because as soon as class was dismissed Ron stormed out of the room without Harry. Harry was gathering his things up when Firenze approached Harry and said;

"I know what's on your mind. And I know you're doing the right thing by Hermione."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"I'm talking about Hermione's bad dreams. I know a way to help you three." Firenze replied.

"Help us three? What do you mean.help?"

"Well, some people talk in their sleep or mumble. I'm sure your friends Hermione knows a spell to record sound."

"Thanks Firenze, I better find her before class!"

Harry was so happy that he knew a way to help Hermione. She did so much for him with schoolwork and everything now he could finally do something for her.

"Hermione! Hermione!"

Hermione turned her head to see Harry rushing towards her.

"What's up Harry?" she asked.

"Well *huff huff (A/N He's panting)* I found a *huff huff* a way to solve your *huff huff* night mares!"

Harry had to catch his breath before he could go on.

"That's great! What is it?"

"Well, We'll cast a spell so we can record your mumblings during the night. Hope fully you'll say something about the nightmares. Like 'Oh no the boogey monster!'"

"Ha ha haa Harry I don't think so. Come on we've got Transfiguration now. By the way, hows Ron?"

"He's really cranky, he kept bugging me about what you were talking to me about. I think I better go say sorry, and don't worry I won't tell him your secret!" Harry found Ron at the back of the classroom talking to Seamus about Quidditch. As Ron saw Harry approaching he talked even louder to Seamus; "Have you Irelands new chaser? He's terrible! They're never going to win now!"

"Ron! Ron, will you listen to me? I'm sorry about the whole secret thing. " said Harry.

"I thought you Hermione and I were best friends and I didn't think we kept secrets from each other." Mumbled Ron, still clearly upset.

"Listen mate. I don't want to go all mushy on you but we are best friends!" said Harry desperately, he really hated it when him and Ron weren't speaking. Harry continued in a whisper, "Quick Professor McGonagall is coming! Let's go sit where we usually sit!"

With that Harry and Ron went and sat next to Hermione where they sat every lesson.

A/N I know my speech isn't the best and I'm still getting used to them talking and stuff but please review and help improve the story!
