Chapter 5: The Question

Summer was nearly over and Hermione had been there the entire time. Harry and Sirus had had a very big argument before he left. They had not talked for the rest of the summer. It turned out that Sirus did not want to be thrown back in Azkaban for murder so he did not kill Krum. Harry thought that that was not a good reason not to kill Krum.

They had just gotten back from Diagon Alley when Hermione said something about the conversation for the first time.

"So Harry, why have you and Sirus not talked for the entire summer? Did you and him have a really big fight or something?" asked Hermione as she and Harry walked up to their rooms.

"Well...yeah we did have a fight. Don't worry about it Hermione," said Harry as he went into his room to put up his Firebolt. They had to fly to Diagon Alley on his broomstick because they had no other way to get there because they were not with the Weasleys.

"Oh, okay. Harry can I ask you a favor?" asked Hermione. Harry groaned at this. He had just spent the last two hours on his broomstick with Hermione clinging on to him. He really wanted to take a cold shower before something happened that would embarrass him very bad if Hermione was around when it happened.

"Sure you can ask me anything," said Harry pushing his wantings and ideas to the back of his head.

"Can I ask you in your room? I don't want anyone to hear," said Hermione blushing.

"Sure come on in," said Harry as he held open the door for her.

Hermione walked past Harry and put her books and school supplies on his bed as Harry put his stuff on the floor beside his bed. Hermione moved to sit on the bed and Harry moved so that he was standing in front of her. He really wanted to take a cold shower but he didn't move.

"Harry will you let me sleep with you tonight?" asked Hermione blushing even more.
