Ok so to start off I'm going to thank all my reviewers for helping fuel my imagination! So a big thanks to: Ruhnas- to be honest it's weird but I never used to be that much of a H/G fan either!, Red of Rose- The reviewer, who has helped me most, Oxy- gave me constructive criticism, stRaWbErRiEs AnD BlUeBeRrIeS- My most consistent reviewer, shoW gUrl, Jarvis and excrunner- that all spurred me on .

Thank you to all of you. You have helped me have the confidence in myself to continue this story.

From now on I should be able to update more often as I have made a chapter/story plan so I now don't just write off the top of my head (which works well too) but I also know what is going to happen now. Well I'll stop babbling now and carry on with the story! I hope you all like this chapter!

Chapter 8

Harry awoke early the next morning and got ready for lessons along with all his other fellow fifth year Gryffindor's, sharing the room. Harry and Ron met Hermione in the common room (Ron leaning over to kiss Hermione, making Harry feel sick) and the left the comforting common room and headed for the Great Hall. They ate breakfast quickly, Hermione whilst looking over her morning copy off the daily prophet and then they made way to their first lesson- all three of them had Transfiguration.

The day went by uneventfully apart from Draco Malfoy trying to hex the trio outside Potions (he failed they hit him with expelleramus and Professor Snape didn't see it, and they got away with it). Then Hermione had Arithmacy, Harry and Ron went to Divination and the last lesson all three had together was Charms.

After the school day ended Harry, Ron and Hermione sat doing homework in the warm, friendly common room ignoring the noise from other Gryffindor's all around them. Harry was surprised to see Hermione taking more interest in Ron than her homework. She must really like Ron, Harry thought. Harry spotted Ginny again sitting in the corner in a deep conversation with Seamus Finnigan. This time Harry felt the familiar pang of jealousy but also felt his face heating up. He realised he was angry about it too. He looked at Ron and saw he was not the only angry one.

'She says she's just good friends with all the guys but look at her!' Ron said 'She's going to get a bad reputation if she carries on like this' He finished. 'Ron don't be silly she hasn't done anything to gain a reputation' Yet Hermione thought as she said this. 'Oh that's it take her side' Replied Ron gruffly, glaring at Hermione. 'Oh sweetie I'm not taking sides with Ginny, in fact I had a word with her about the way she is acting but she assured me nothing bad is going on.' This satisfied Ron a little he smiled at Hermione, then they started getting all lovey - dovey. Harry didn't want to sit and stare at this so he gave one last look in Ginny's direction and then, continued with his homework.

A lot later on Ron announced that he was tired and off to bed. Harry decided to hang around as he wanted to talk to Hermione. He would've asked Ginny for help but in this case she was the subject of the talk and so he couldn't . 'Goodnight Ron' Harry said although Harry didn't think he had heard as Hermione was giving him a long goodnight kiss!

When Ron left Hermione plopped back down into her armchair. She saw the funny expression on Harry's face as though he were struggling to find the words to say what he wanted to say.

'Harry what's up ' Hermione asked 'Well can I ask your advice and for your confidence' Harry replied 'Of course you can and you know I can keep a secret' 'You can't even tell Ron not until I've decided how he will react' 'Ok' she replied.

'It's about Ginny' Harry said with a slight sigh.

Ok well I was going to write more but I am getting really tiered. I will write more tomorrow, though - just add it into the next chapter, so that one might be quite long. I really love to know what you all think Good/Bad so just let me know - Review!!!!!! Please!!!! :)
