A/N: Im going through this same thing right now, and if anybody would like to talk about it if they are also going through it, please tell me. Because I would like to talk to you. AND REVIEW OR DIE! Lol bye

On the first day of school, Hermione sat pondering. Ron and Harry were in conversation, again. 'Dont get me wrong, I love the guys, but sometimes they forget that we are a trio not a duo.' Hermione decided to try to join in the conversation, or at least talk to them.

"N.E.W.T.S are going to be terrible this year, O.W.L.S were enough, why do they now have to throw this junk at us?" Ron said angrily chomping on a peice of bacon.

This was a good oppertunity for Hermione to join in. "Well, we all did well on our O.W.L.S, So I expect if we study hard and listen attentivly, we should all get good scores."

Both Ron and Harry shot eachother annoyed looks, this was another thing that she had noticed lately...They seemed annoyed whenever Hermione talked. "Well Hermione we are not all over-acheviers like you. So unlike you, it will the N.E.W.T.S will be hard for Harry and I."

This made Hermione angry and sad. She gave Ron a hurt look. "You say that as if it's a bad thing! Well i'm going to tell you two something here and now." Hermione was now yelling. "This year, your on your own. No more looking at my notes, no more help from Hermione. Ever since the end of last year, you two have been incredibly rude to me. You've ignored me, and every time I try to talk to you two, you get annoyed! I thought we were best friends!!! Well, best friends don't treat eachother this way! And if you continue on like this, then there is no reason we should be friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ron and Harry both looked very much surprised.

Harry started to say: "Hermione, we didn't mean too..."

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!!!!"

Ron and Harry just stared open mouthed at her. Both of them both got up simeltaniously.

Just as they walked out of the great hall, Ginny walked in and took a seat next to Hermione.

"How come Harry and Ron just walked out without you?" asked Ginny piling toast and eggs on her plate.

"We had a row."

"What about?"

"Well the guys have just been ignoring me alot lately..."

Ginny interuppted, "Say no more, I understand. I've noticed it too." Ginny paused and said in a whisper. "Not to mention you three ignored me..."

Hermione didnt hear her. "What was that last thing?"

"Oh, nothing."

Hermione just gave her a strange look. "Ok..." There were a few akward moments of silence while Hermione thought about Ginny. Ginny was always so sweet and kind to her. She always tried to be Hermione's friend. And sure, they were friends. I mean Ginny was the definitly her best "girlfriend" 'I haven't been that wonderful to her over the years' thought Hermione. Hermione's thoughts were interuptted by Ginnys hand slightly grazing Hermiones as she reached for her drink. A strange sensation went through her hand it was a warm tingely sensation. Hermione wanted to know if Ginny had felt it also, so she gazed over at her. But Ginny was contendetly munching on toast. Hermione suddenly started to see Ginny in a different light. She was pretty. She was not gorgeous, but she had a certain quality to her that was just...endearing. Hermione finally relized what she was thinking. 'Oh my god! Am I actually having these feelings about GINNY?? No, no, no, I cant have feeling for a girl! Especially not Ginny!'

"Umm...Ginny, we have about a half hour untill our lessons start, would you maybe want to take a walk? Or..or..I dont know.." Hermione now felt a bit embarresed.

Ginny smiled. "Sure!"

Ginny and Hermione were now in the Gryffindor commen room sitting on two squashy arm-chairs.

Hermione paused for a second and broke down in tears.

"Whats wrong Hermione?"

"Im..im sorry tttoo break down like this in front of you Ginny, But I..I..im just worried about everything. I mean, Voldemorts still on the lose...and he'll probably come after Harry again and I just...i just can't take it. And now the guys probably won't even talk to me after I yelled at them. I just...I love the guys, but I've never really had a friend that is a girl persay, I mean, guys are different then girls. And all my life, even before I came to Hogwarts, I longed for a girl I could just hang out with, and share secrets and all those "girl" things."

Ginny just gazed at Hermione for a moment. She then got up and made Hermione stand up. Then she led Hermione over to the couch so she could sit next to her. Ginny put her arm around a still snivelly Hermione. Hermione, its ok, we are all worried about you-know-who. And as for friends, I know how you feel. Ive never had a real friend. Not even a boy that was just a friend. Just boyfriends. So Hermione, maybe...maybe..we could hang out sometimes."

Hermione's heart lept and she gazed up into Ginny's bright green eyes as Ginny gazed back into Hermione's caramel ones. "I'd really like that Ginny, I really would.
