Chapter 3
"Harry, are you sure about this?" Ron said as he walked with Harry. "This is a huge thing!"
"Yes, Ron. I am so sure that it scares me." Harry thought back to the situation, and in a dream like voice answered. "She was so beautiful. A vision of loveliness."
Harry snapped out of the trance he was in to see that on was not beside him. He turned around to see Ron with a look of horror on his face. Harry was puzzled, what did he say. He then realized what he had just said.
"God Ron, help me!"
Harry and Ron continued to walk towards the doors of Hogwarts. Harry awed at the sight of Hogwarts, as the sunset hit the castle on such an angle. Harry thought to himself.
"Gee...this is almost as beautiful as seeing Hermione with the sunset hitting her. Oh dear God!! What am I saying!!!!?" Harry shook his head and continued to walk towards Hogwarts.
"Ron what is wrong with me?" asked Harry. "All I can think about is Hermione! Hermione is my friend that is all, nothing more than that."
"Well, keep thinking that way Harry." said Ron.
As they entered Hogwarts front doors, Neville ran into them.
"Hey guys! Have you ... um ... seen Hermione?" Neville asked quietly "I have something to tell her."
"What is the good news?" asked a voice from behind them.
Harry and Ron turned around to see Hermione there. Ron thought to himself.
"How long has Hermione been there? I hope not long enough to have heard what Harry said."
Hermione continued. "So Harry, Ron where have you been? I have looked for you since we got off the train!"
"Yeah... um well we lost sight of you!" said Harry. He looked at Ron to help him.
"Right that is what happened! We lost sight of you and we knew that if we came to the castle...um...came to the castle..."said Ron trying to think what he could say next. "Came to the castle we could find you!" finished Harry.
"Right...ok...lost sight of me...you know if you guys are going to lie to me, you got to learn how to do it right. All you guys had to say was we needed some time alone. Hermione explained.
"Sorry Hermione!" Ron and Harry said in unison.
"Anyways Neville." said Hermione. "What is the good news?"
"Well..." Neville said realizing that the three of them were staring at him. "You know how you helped me this summer...um...for my....for my..."
"Yes, I know what you are talking about. How did the class go? Did I help much?" asked Hermione.
"Well, I passed with flying colors." Neville said getting excited. "An A of all things!"
"Oh Neville, I am so happy!" Hermione said, She went over to Neville and gave him a hug. "I knew you could do it!"
Neville turned a bright pink and hugged Hermione back. Harry felt a strange feeling that he has never felt before.
"What is this feeling?" Harry thought. "When Neville hugged her, I feel like I want to hurt him so badly. What is going on?"
"Congratulations, Neville!" Ron and Harry said in a monotone.
"Thanks guys" Neville said as he was walking away. "See you in the great hall!"
"Well that was weird!" said Harry.
"How so?" asked Hermione.
"Um...never mind I said anything." said Harry quickly.
"Ah...ok." said Hermione. "I'll see you guys in the Great Hall for dinner. I am going to go unpack. See ya!"
Hermione went off to the Griffindor commons. Harry quickly turned to Ron.
"Ron, when Hermione hugged Neville...I felt like I wanted to hurt him. I don't know, it felt so weird. I can't explain." Harry puzzled.
"Harry, Harry, Harry. That would be jealously." Ron laughed. "I could read you like a neon sign, you have the "Hots" for her, and well when Neville hugged her you got mad!"
"I must really like her, what am I to do?" said Harry.
"Yeah, scary." Ron shuddered. "What are you going to do?"
"I don't know, Ron. I just don't know. I guess I will just hide the fact that I like her. Or try to forget about her." said Harry.
"Yeah one problem for the forgetting part! You can't she is your friend!" said Ron.
"Yeah, you're right Ron. I'll go for the hiding part." said Harry.
"Well we are going to be late if we don't unpack. So let's go upstairs and go unpack." said Ron.
Harry and Ron went to the Griffindor commons. They stopped at the door.
"Um...Ron we never got the password." said Harry.
"Butterscotch." said a familiar voice from behind them.
"Thanks." said Ron
"No problem." said the voice. "Anything I can do for my friends."
As the doors opened Harry turned around to see someone he hasn't seen for awhile. Someone that will definitely make him forget about Hermione.
"Harry, are you sure about this?" Ron said as he walked with Harry. "This is a huge thing!"
"Yes, Ron. I am so sure that it scares me." Harry thought back to the situation, and in a dream like voice answered. "She was so beautiful. A vision of loveliness."
