Hermione sighed as she got up. There was only a week left of school. A week and she would be heading home. Strangely most of the time after the incident with Draco and his father had slipped by, unnoticed by anyone. Hermione had not pursued Snape and he had not bothered her. What small amount of time they were around each other, was spent working. Draco had finally woken and apologized for what had happened. He knew what all his father had done and what he might of done, had he not been pushed from his sons mind.

Draco was grateful to all who helped, but that did not stop him from becoming himself again. Snape and Hermione had not spoken to each other over the past month. But they knew when the other was watching and at times, their eyes would meet and they would nod. Hermione sighed, as all the memories and thoughts ran through her head. Pulling on her clothes, she headed down stairs. Ron and Harry were also up. With a smile she walked to them.

"Morning, Ron, Harry." Harry looked up and smiled.

"Morning 'Mione"

Ron muttered, his bad mood showing clearly as the morning sun. "Yeah morning."

Hermione blinked. "You okay, Ron?" Ron simply nodded and left.

Harry sighed. "Don't mind him. He's just mad because of how busy we've been. We haven't been able to talk or anything lately."

Hermione glanced at him. "You mean about your relationship?"

Harry nodded. "Yeah." Hermione frowned. "Don't worry about it 'Mione. I'm going to talk to him tonight about it, if he doesn't fall asleep before I get the chance. If not then I'll find the time, even if its on the train."

Hermione giggled. "Yeah. Well, good luck with it. I'm starved. So I'm going to go get breakfast."

Harry nodded at her again. "Yeah. Same here. Lets eat." Hermione smiled and headed for the porthole. "Uh Hermione?"

Hermione stopped and looked at him. "Yeah?"

Harry grinned. "Thanks for everything."

Hermione beamed. "You're welcome. Come on, lets eat."

***************************************************************************

Harry and Hermione walked into the Great Hall, taking seats on either side of Ron, who was still in a bad mood. Both knew he probably would be all day. During breakfast Hermione had glanced at Snape every once and a while. He had been to absorbed in his meal to really notice her. She had to wonder though, now that it was almost time to leave. What would things be like next year?

She didn't know for certain, but she did know that even though she felt the way she did for Snape that things were only to get better. She just hoped that things could go back to normal and that she wouldn't have to worry about anyone coming after her or Snape again. As Hermione finished her meal, she smiled. This last week would be a good on, she knew. Looking at Ron and Harry she couldn't help but laugh. It would also be interesting.

***************************************************************************

It was the last night of the year that they would all spend at Hogwarts and Hermione had fallen asleep early. The only two up, were Harry and Ron. Ron sat in one of the large plush chairs and hair was stretched out in front of the fire place, reading a book. Ron just sat staring into the fire, he didn't notice that Harry was now watching him.

"Hey Ron..."

Ron blinked, looking at him. "Yeah?"

Harry smiled and got up. "We need to talk."

Ron nodded. "I know. Sorry that I've been avoiding it. But..I'm not sure. What if someone finds out?"

Harry laughed. "They wont Ron. Come on. Lets go to bed. How about we talk in the morning instead?"

Ron nodded and got up. "All right." Harry the Ron walked up the stairs and coming to the door, Harry touched Ron's arm.

"Ron.." But Ron didn't wait for him to finish, instead he kissed him boldly and pulled him into the room, shutting the door behind him.
