story!
The sky is growing dark. And thick clouds are flying overhead. A steady beat of rain begins falling around us and everyone feels sorry for the first years. Hermione and Ginny squeal as we all step out of the carriages. "Ron let's play the dashing hero's-who-rescue-girls-from-thunderstorm." We grin evilly. Leaping out of the carriages we yelled a battle cry making the girls crack up. Ron picked up Ginny and I lifted Hermione and we both ran like crazy towards the castle. We all collapsed in a heap in the great hall laughing. We were soaking wet and in great humor. "What was that all about?" Hermione asked trying not to laugh. "Well" I said, "I've been so long without commotion that we had to be manly." Hermione stood up and gave Ginny and I a hand up also. She looked at me. " Harry as much as I enjoyed that," she mumbled blushing, "We are Head Boy and Head Girl we set an example for everyone else." She fixed my badge as we headed into the Dining Hall. We all took our seats and chatted during the sorting ceremony with Dean Thomas and Lavender Brown. Lavender kept batting her eyelashes at me and noticed Hermione give her the evil eye. Hermione's hand was sitting between us, I casually placed my hand on top of hers hoping she wouldn't notice. I just needed to be close to her. She tensed for a moment and looked at me confused. I quickly removed my hand and she stuck up a conversation with Lavender. "Got a Girl Mate?" Dean asked "I'm not dating Hermione!" I answered a little to loudly. Hermione glanced at me then mumbled something about needed to use the girl's room. Lavender gave me a penetrating glare and started talking with Parvati. I could sense it was my fault that Hermione had left the room but she didn't need to get all worked up over the truth. I wasn't dating her I mean it's not like she loved me. I started to ask Lavender about Hermione when Ginny sidled over to me. Dean raised an eyebrow at me and I shook my head. I wasn't going out with Ginny either. I wish I was, but I wasn't. Ginny slides into Hermione's empty seat and gases at me making me look away. Dean coughs into the potato he's been eating and I notice there's food on the table. Ginny stays in Hermione's seat and watches Ron, Dean and I eat everything in reach. A fat boy sitting on the other side of Ginny gets up from the bench shoving her into me. She fits perfectly into my shoulder and I wish she'd stay. Ginny notices Dean watching us with amusement and she leaves also. "Harry, You fancy Ms. Weasly?" I glare at him and motion towards Ron who is in a food coma. Dean laughs and says, "I knew it, but Hermione she really likes you." This time it's my turn to choke on food. I kick Dean hard under the table and get up to leave. Hermione and I have our own common room. I headed there thinking I could find her and talk to her but she wasn't there. I sat down on a large soft sofa and pick up a book. Classes would start the next day but I wasn't ready for bed. I would wait for Hermione and ask her why she ran from the Great Hall. The clock goes from eight to nine to ten. I wonder if she is already in her room. I knock on her door. "Go away!" Says a voice from inside. "Hermione" "No Harry you can't come in!" "Why not?" "Because. . ." She pauses "I'm changing." "Hermione you're lying through your teeth." I turn the knob. It doesn't budge. She's locked the door. "Alohamora," I whisper and point my wand at the door. The lock clicks and I walk into her room. Hermione is sitting on the bed looking devastated tears are streaming down her cheeks and she's biting her lip. She looks so sad. "What's wrong Hermione?" I feel really badly for her "Nothing!" "Tell me," "No!" "Why" "Because, because," she can't finish she starts to cry again. "Because you love Ginny Weasly." I stare at her how did she know that? "How do you know?" "G-g-ginny told me that you'd kissed her in the carriage ride. I asked her to tell you something but I guess she f-forgot" Hermione stammered this out to me and I didn't know what to say. "Do you think I'm ugly?" she asked "Of course not Hermione!" I almost laugh but am careful not to. "Don't you like me?" "I- I," I can't bring myself to say the words I Love You. I know it's true I've loved her since I first saw her when she was asking about Neville's toad in first year. I can't say it because I love Ginny also. Blast why do I always get caught in the middle? She stared at me willing me to answer. So I do.
