Chapter 4:

The next morning Hermione headed down the stairs toward the Great Hall for her first breakfast back at Hogwarts. She was hurrying along not watching where she was going when she suddenly hit something and fell backwards. She looked up for her place on the floor to see who she had hit and saw that it was Walker, the new guy that she had met last night.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going." She said slightly flustered.

"Thats ok, I wasn't really either." He said as he offered her his hand to help her up.

"Are you going to eat now?" Hermione asked when she stood up.

"No, not right now. I have some bussiness I need to take care of first."

"Oh ok, well I guess I'll see you later then." She said looking a little disapointed.

"Yeah, see ya" He said then he walked quickly toward the dungon.

'Wonder what he has to do down there?' Hermione thought to herself as she pushed open the large door to the Great Hall. She spotted Harry and Ron sitting in there usual spot and walked over. "Hey Harry, Hey Ron." She said as she sat down in her usual spot next to Harry.

"Hey Hermione." They both said in union.

Ron turned back talking to Dean and Seamus, but Harry was still looking at Hermione as though he wanted to ask her something.

"Mione?"

"Yeah Harry?"

"Do um, well, I mean..nevermind." Harry said fumbling over his words.

"What is it Harry? You can tell me."

"Its not important." He said looking down at his food.

"Are you sure? You can tell me anything you know." Hermione was getting worried thinking that this might have something to do with Voldamort. Or maybe Sirius' death, he hadn't said anything about it at all and she was worried about him keeping it all inside of himself.

"Ya I know. Really it's nothing." He said smilling at her.

"Alright then, if your sure" She smiled back at him.

Harry loved the way she smiled. Her chocolate colored eyes shinning. Her red lips laying over perfect teeth. She was beautiful, and she didn't even have to try. She didn't have to wear tons of make-up to cover up her flaws. She didn't have any flaws, she was perfect. Her beauty couldn't be held in a bottle.

Hermione looked over and saw that Harry was stareing at her with a smile on his face. She suddenly became very self-concious and started to bit her lip, which was a nevous habbit of hers. She looked up at Harry, who was still looking at her, and laughed.

"Do I have food on my face or something?" She let out a nervous laugh.

"Oh," Harry jercked out of his trance " No, I mean, sorry I didn't realize I was staring. I was kinda in my own world." He laughed with her.

"That's alright." She flashed him a bright smile in which he returned.

She could get lost when he smiled at her. It was like everything eles disappeared and the only person left was Harry and herself. His emerald eyes, which she had learned to read so well, bore into her soul. She wanted to turn away, afraid that he could read her mind. Afraid that he would find out all of her secrets which she had kept hidden for so long. But she couldn't. Her eyes wouldn't move at the command her brain was sending it. She could see something in his eyes. It looked almost like longing, and... love? But that couldn't be right. He couldn't love her. It was only her hear hoping that thats what she saw, and jumping to conclusions. No he didn't love her, not like that anyway. He was her bestfriend. And he would probably be weirded out if he knew what she was thinking right now. But even with that thought, she couldn't look away.

Harry staired into her deep brown eyes and could see nothing eles. It seemed as though they were magical, placing a spell over him which caused him to not be able to look away. He felt as though something warm was bring poured inside of him. He didn't ever want to look away. In her eyes he could see things that he couldn't anywhere eles. She had always been there for him, through everything, with no thought of herself. She believed in him. He knew that with every day he was falling for her more and more. It was the first time that he had ever felt this way. He was in love with her, and he knew it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't deny it. It made him scared and excited all at the same time. But he knew that there was no way she felt the same about him.

He broke eye contact when the same thoughts that have been tormenting him all night long returned. He looked down at his food not wanting to have to look into her eyes again. Because if he did, he knew she would she his sad expression. He didn't want her to ask him what was wronge again. He might brake this time, and tell her what he was thinking. Which was that he loved her. And his feeling weren't returned. They couldn't have been. If she loved him she wouldn't have been flirting with that Walker guy last night.

"Hey, Hermione! Come with me up to the dorms! We have something to ask you." Lavender said rushing into the Great Hall with an excited look on her face.

"Um..sure. What is it about?" Hermione said puzzled over what they had to ask her.

"Just come on, you"ll see." Lavender grabbed her hand and lead her up to the Gryffinder common roon.

When she entered she saw a Pervati sitting on the couch looking as though she were about to burst. She walked over, or rather, was pulled over to the couch and sat down.

" So, is it true?" Parvati said looking very excited.

Hermione just looked back at her in confusion. "Is what true?"

"That you made out with the new guy Walker last night? It's going all over the school. We just know heard it from Ginny. Who heard it from luna, who said that she heard it from.."

"Ok ok," Hermione interupted, not wanting to hear who all eles knew about something that wasn't even true." Who told you that? Why would anyone think that I made out with him?"

"I dont know... so it's not true then?" Lavender said in a dissapointed tone.

"No, its not true! I dont know why anyone would make that up. I only talked to him for about five minutes last night. And it was about a book. hardly close to a make out session. Then I bumped into him in the Hall before breakfast. But I only asked him if he were headed for breakfast."

"Oh... Well then, I guess someone should stop the rummors. Or try anyway, But that probably wont be very easy. But you know he is hott, what could it hurt letting people think that? It would help with your reputation." Said Parvati.

" I dont care! I dont want people thinking that I just start kissing every boy I see." Hermione yelled. She really hated the gossip system in this school.

"Ok ok, we'll fix it. I dont know why anyone would have thought it in the first place. I mean everyone should know that if you were going to kiss someone it would be Harry who you've been in love with for years." Said Lavender.

"I am not in love with Harry! Where would you get such a thing? We are friends and that only!"

"Uh huh, sure. Dont lie to yourself Hermione! Were not blind ya know." said Lavender.

Parvati agreed with her saying,"Hello, your talking to the love experts here." as though it were the most obvious thing.
