Harry's first day at Hogwarts was rather trying on both his brain and his emotional status. He had to endure Ron's talk of how perfect Hermione was all through Double Divination, which they had first, and then endure Malfoy's tauntings when it came to Double Potions, which came right after lunch. Not to mention the fact that every class that Ron and Hermione had seperate, Ron would give her a hug goodbye.
By the end of the first week of school, Harry was feeling very squashed. A message was posted on the bulletin in the Gryffindor common room announcing that the first Hogsmeade weekend would be the second weekend of the school year, and then Harry had to listen to Ron talk about meeting Hermione in the Three Broomsticks and having a bit of a date there.
Aside from all this, what Ron didn't seem to notice was that now more and more boys were starting to pay attention to Hermione. Seamus and Dean made this perfectly clear on the following Monday in History of Magic. Ron, Harry, Hermione, Neville, Seamus, and Dean were all sitting together in the back row of the classroom, and Professor Binns was blaring on as usual while most people slept or whispered to their friends.
"Oy Harry," whispered Seamus. "Check out Hermione!" Harry looked over at her. She was sitting in her chair, almost reclining, right by the window. She was smiling at something that Ron had just said, and her hair was spread out over her shoulders.
"Wouldn't mind some alone time with her, eh, Harry?" added Dean, clapping his hands enthusiastically under the table. "Woudn't mind taking her up to my dormitory for some fun, nope, not at all!" Seamus chuckled appreciatively and an nodded, grinning.
"So," said Seamus, prodding Ron and lowering his voice considerably. "How far've you and gorgeous gotten yet?" Ron grinned and Harry felt a stab of foreboding in the pit of his stomach.
"Far," answered Ron. "No more said!" Seamus sighed exasperatedly and punched him on the shoulder.
"Fine, don't tell!" Dean said whinily, and resumed his conversation with Seamus about different types of Broomsticks.
