Beautiful in Blue:

Hermione woke up on the couch in the Head Commonroom that she and Harry shared. Her eys fluttered a little, re-adjusting the the light and she let out a grown at how stiff her body was. The room came into focus and she saw Harry and Ron playing chess a little ways away. Or atleast they HAD been playing chess until they noticed that she woke up. Harry and Ron rushed over to her side.

"How are you feeling Hermione?" Harry asked, placing a cool hand on her forehead and checking her temperature.

"She looks a little pale," Ron said, then turned and looked to Harry, "

Don't you think she looks a little pale Harry?" he asked and Harry shook his head.

"No Ron. If you ask me she looks like she's flushed, her cheeks all rosy and everything!"

"Maybe she has a flu?"

" I think it might be a fever!"

"How many fingers am i holding up?"

" OH DEAR GOD NO! YOu dont think she went blind!"

" Or worse Deaf!"

"OR both!"

Harry and ROn began waving their hands wildly in front of her face and started yelling.

Hermione raised her hands to her ears and glared at them.

"God! Im fine!" she said and then sat up. She immidiatly decided that had been a bad idea as the blood rushed quickly back down and she began to feel a little dizzy.

"Urrg. My head!" she said and both boys examined her closlye, checking to make sure she was indeed, alright.

"Hermione, are you sure you're ok?" Harry asked looking at her with worryfull eyes. " I mean, you did, just tell us about...your mom and...you've been sleeping for the past day." Harry said.

Hermione nodded and began to remember. She remembered the potions class and the fight with Malfoy. She remembered being pulled out of the room by Harry and Ron...and crying in the bathroom till everything just built up inside and she passed out from grief.

But she was happy. She was happy that she had told them. They knew and they would help her with what she had left locked up before.

" I think I am alright." she told them and then gave each boy a small smile.

Harry could almost feel a part of his heart open up again. She was talking to him and she wasn't running away. But he was still hurt that she hadn't told him about her ordeal and what she had went through the summer of fifth year.

"Hermione, why didn't you tell us?" Ron asked before Harry could, taking the words right out of Harry's mouth.

" I mean, we could have helped you. We could have gotten Voldemort and ...and...Done Somthing!" Ron said, feeling a little hurt and a little frustrated.

Hermione looked down at her hand that she as cradling in her lap and sighed.

When she looked up again, Harry caught a little guilt, but most of all sadness in those honey eyes and he knew right then that he would do anything to make sure that those eyes would never have to look that way again.

" I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to get hurt. I thought that if you distanced yourselves from me...if I pretended that I didn't care about you guys... that it wouldn't hurt if you were gone too!" Hermione said and the tears started to well up, coming dangerousley close to spilling out.

Harry nodded. He understood. He had wanted to do the exact same thing because of who he was and what Voldemort wanted from him. Right after fourth year he had thought of it, he thought that maybe if he just let them drift apart that his friends would be safer.

But Hermione's family was proof that that would not work. And his heart ached every moment that it was her.

"I was wrong though." Hermione said and a few of those tears began to spill out.

"I needed you guys more than anything but I wouldn't even let you get near me. And everytime one of you got hurt...like when you got hit bythat bludger, Ron, I would feel it getting harder and harder to not be there with you." she told them.

Ron looked a little teary eyed, but then again so did Harry.

"Im so happy you are back with us hermione!" Ron cried and flung himself on her, nearly squishing her in the embrace. Hermione laughed out loud and hugged him back. It felt great to have her best friend back.

The trio chatted for hours, holding on to each other and hugging occassionally. Hermione was the happiest she had been in three years and it showed. Her honey eyes were sparkling,just like they had before fifth year.

Eventually Ron had to go back to the Griffindor Common Room. He hugged Hermione and made sure she knew that she couldn't ditch him anymore, ruffled harry's hair and then left them.

Harry looked at Hermione who was at the top of her stair case about to go to her room and smiled. Hermione however looked strait into his eyes. She had a question.

"One last question Harry." she said. Her voice was low.

"Yes, Hermione." he asked.

"Why do you care so much?" she asked, clearly confused.

Harry took a deep breath. He could only tell the truth.

"Because you were my Best Friend." he told her. She nodded and then opened her door, looking just a tad crestfallen.

But Harry hadn't finished.

"And I think Im in love with you."
