Harry opened his eyes, and saw the golden and red curtains drawn around his bed. He

gazed around the room, and saw that Ron had already left to breakfast. "Thats just better for me"

he thought to himself. He was not in the mood of Ron telling him to tell Hermione how he felt,

Harry himself didnt know.

He quickly dressed and ran out of the dormitory into the common room. He saw Ginny on

the couch talking to some of the 5th years.

"Hey Ginny, have you seen Ron or Hermione?"

"Hey, I saw Ron walk towards the great hall, and Hermione is somewhere there too"

Ginny answered.

"Thanks"

Harry walked through the portrait of the Fat Lady, and went on towards the dining hall.

He pushed the door open, and smelled the aroma of pancakes and maple syrup. He followed his

vision to a red head, and a girl with brown hair sitting next to him. Harry then went up to Ron and

Hermione and sat down next to them.

"Good Morning Harry" said Hermione

"How are you? We have been waiting for you for a qaurter hour, did you have those dreams again

last night?"

Harry vaguely remembered his dream. It was different than the usual nightmares, it was a

calm dream. It had been about a baby boy, no wait, a baby girl, and her parents... It was very

confusing and Harry had no idea who it was.

"No 'mione, it was fine. I just overslept I guess." said Harry.

"Well mate, at least you didn't miss breakfast. Besides, we have potions first, who cares if

you skive it off" said Ron

"RON! Its our first day, Harry cannot just go and skip a class, especially potions with

Snape! Besides, it is for our N.E.W.T.s, Snape will just crack down hard on Harry!" exclaimed

Hermione.

"Will you two stop bickering? I am not missing potions, I'm here!"said Harry.

"Harry, I need to go get *cough*quills*cough*, didn't you want to tell Hermione

something?" Ron said and quickly ran out the great hall.

"Well Harry, did you want to tell me something?"said Hermione.

"Um... Well Hermione, its just... I don't know how to say this..." said Harry.

"I am going to KILL Ron" he thought to himself.

"Umm, Hermione, I think I like you. You know... in that way." he stammered.

Hermione's expression was blank. She replied to him "Harry, I know. I like you too... its

just that..."

And she turned and in a very confused manner, left the room.

"I will NEVER understand girls in my life" Harry said aloud.
