Disclaimer: don't own it, m-kay?

-----------------------------------------

Snape, having been in a rather rotten mood had given them a five foot long essay on sleeping potions which Hermione was now tackling in the library. She was standing between two large shelves when she heard a conversation at a nearby table that mentioned her name.

*What? I have to find out what they're saying, if I could just get a little closer, there!*

It was between two Gryffindor boys, Seamus and Dean. Seamus was talking, "That's right, up in the Astronomy Tower."

"But really, Hermione Granger? She would do such a thing?"

"Apparently. Harry said that he had no trouble getting her to drop he pants."

"What else did he say?"

"Only that she had a great body and she's not so bad once you get her to stop talking." They both laughed. "Oh and he said she was a great lay, on of the best he'd had." The laughed more.

"Hmm, do you think when he's done, either of us could have a go?"

"From what he said, it's worth the try!"

Hermione ran, she didn't want to hear any more! *They were talking about me as if I was some, whore!* Tears began to flow freely down her face now, *I can't believe that Harry would say such things, I thought I was special to him, not just some conquest that he'd tell the whole school about! What have I don't?*

She ran smack into a body, "Ouch! Hey Mione, what's wrong?" It was Ron, *Thank God!* She collapsed in Ron's arms and told him everything.

*Good job Seamus, the damage was done quite nicely.*

Ron looked down, "Yea, he was bragging about it after the Quidditch game in the boy's changing room. I told him he ought not to be talking about you like that, we're not speaking right now."

"Really?" *He stood up for me to his best friend?*

"Yea," he looked rather sad. *Oh god! She's buying every word of this!*

"I, I never knew that I wasn't his first." This statement made her cry harder, and Ron hugged her tighter.

"Mione, if he told you how many girls he's been with, he knew you'd never sleep with him."

"Was there many?" she asked looking up at Ron. When he looked away and to the floor, she cried harder.

"I'm sorry Mione." He said and kissed the top of her head. "Everything will be okay I promise." *With the thought of Harry out of the way finally, you will be my girlfriend! ::evil laugh::* He held her until she was done crying, and finally she looked up at him. "Thank you Ron, you're always there for me when I need you."

"And I always will be."

Smiling she kissed his cheek before she left.

*Excellent*

Hermione left Harry a note that said to meet her in the Astronomy Tower that night. This made Harry feel slightly amorous the rest of the evening, but he had seen no sign of his beloved since classes ended. He ascended the stairs vary anxiously, thinking about the treasure that awaited him atop. When he got to the door, he pushed it slowly open to find Hermione leaning on one of the windows looking up at the stars. *Beautiful as always, I can't believe that I am actually lucky enough to be the guy she loves!*

He walked up to her and slid his arms around her slim waist and kissed her cheek. "Hello, love."

She turned around fiercely, "Oh cut the act Harry!"

"W-what?" He was taken aback *What does she mean? I love her, what act?*

"Oh you know what I mean! I heard all about your little locker room story time! And here I was thinking you actually cared about me, when all I meant to you was just another one of many female conquests!"

*What the hell, what does she mean by another? She's the only girl I've ever been with like that! And what locker room story time? I never said anything!* "Hermione, I have no idea what you talking about."

Tears were streaming down her face and she began to yell, "Don't lie to me any more Harold James Potter!" SLAP "I've had enough! Good-bye!"

She ran out of the room, and Harry, feeling the left side of his face where her handprint was growing, was pretty sure that her good-bye meant more than her departure from the tower. *What has gotten into her? I don't understand.* Tears fell from his eyes, slowly at first, but in no time they streamed freely.

When he finished carrying on, he stood up and sadly, in the way of a defeated man, walked back to his dorm. He went straight to his room, not even noticing who was in the common room, and he didn't even turn to look and see who had called his name. the only thing he wanted was to be alone, and wallow in self pity and confusion. But when he got to his bed something caught his eye.

The room was empty except for himself, and everything was in order. But on his bed, there was a piece of parchment. He picked it up and read it:

Harry, Meet me by the suit of armor in the hallway by the charms classroom at midnight. Come alone. Tell no one!

This was all that it said. There was no name. He debated the idea for a bit, but decided that he would go. Now, all he had to do was sit and wait, pondering what great evil would befall him at midnight.
