Hermione came through the portrait hole into the common room. Her hair was a mess. Her pink bra-strap was halfway down her shoulder. She had a dazed yet happy look on her face. Her skirt was lop-sided.

"Hermione, oi!" Ginny called from a chair by the fire. Hermione flopped into the chair next to her.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Ginny seeing the look on Hermiones face.

"You won't believe what just happened-"she began. She gulped,

"I just...I..."

"Is it Harry?"

"What...no...I mean yeah! Yeah!" she stuttered. She couldn't tell Ginny it was Snape.

"Did you and Harry just...?" Ginny indicated Hermione's bra strap. Hermione shrieked and pulled it up.

"I have to go Ginny, bye!" Hermione sprang up, smacking into Harry.

"Oh, sorry Hermione" he apologised.

"No, No problem..." with that Hermione disappeared up into the girl's dormitory.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Ron slipping into Hermione's vacated seat.

"She said it was, well, you Harry" stated Ginny.

"Me?" Harry asked surprised.

"Well...her bra-strap was half off. I thought you and she had...well"

"WHAT?!" said Harry and Ron together.

"I never!" exclaimed Harry.

"She's insane!" shouted Ron. Harry was shocked. Maybe this was a sign Hermione liked him as much as he liked her? Yet, had she just been with someone else? Harry felt anger surge through him. He had to tell Hermione how he felt.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione had ran to Harry's dorm without thinking. She needed comforting. She was sure he'd understand. She sat on the edge of his bed.

"Harry!" she gasped as he entered the room. She sprung herself on him nearly knocking him off of his feet.

"Hermione, what?" queried Harry.

"I need to talk to you. There's something I need to get off my chest-"

"Hermione I feel the same too!"

"Huh?!"

"I knew we had a spark, I just didn't know how you felt..."

"Harry, I-" but before she could answer Harry had forced his tongue down her throat. Hermione resisted for a while then gradually kissed back. Suddenly she realised who she was really thinking of and she tried to force Harry away.

"Harry...." She pleaded.

"Please, no.." as he persisted she slapped him hard across the face.

"Ouch! What was that Hermione? I thought you wanted this?"

"No Harry...I like you but...no...Please..." Harry had forced her onto his bed, she squealed as he stripped her and himself. Then he forced himself inside her, thrusting violently. She sobbed throughout the whole horrific act. After he had finished, he threw her clothes at her, made her promise not to tell anyone.

"You tell anyone, you little whore, and you won't survive the term!" He chucked out onto the landing, and walked away, leaving her sobbing on the floor.....
