Okay people I happened to get a lot of complaints about Terry and how you want Harry and Hermione to get together…so here are the answers to all the possible questions you guys asked…..Please Read This!!

One -- I know you all hate Terry now but he is just there to make things complicated so the story is more interesting…he wont be there for long don't worry

Two - This fic is under the H/Hr category on the site, which means it's a Harry and Hermione story NOT Terry and Hermione…so in the end they WILL get together so don't worry!! No matter how many people Harry or Hermione might go out with, it's only because they don't want to face the fact that they love each other. Or because they just want to make the other one jealous…its stupid I know but that's what love can do to you ;)

Three - A lot of people seemed upset that Hermione was flirting with Terry…I know she likes/loves Harry but she's confused!! She doesn't understand how she can like Harry and she's positive he doesn't love her back like that!! So she flirts with Terry because she thinks she doesn't have a chance with Harry. She'll explain it herself to Ginny in the next chapter anyways…

Four - A lot of you also seem worried about Ron…don't worry he'll have someone, I wouldn't just leave him hanging…and he will get over his jealousy too.

Five - Another one of you said something about there's too much jealousy from Harry and none from Hermione…that will be fixed!

This Chapter is dedicated to Chilkroete because it is her birthday sometime around now!!! Haha you didn't tell me what day it was hun so I couldn't say!! AND I don't know your name so I called you by your reviewer name!! Lol so yeah, it's your birthday so here's your present, and sorry if it's late!! Because it most likely is!

Meet You There

Chapter Eleven – Think Twice

Think twice before you touch my girl

Come around I'll let you feel the burn

Think twice before you touch my girl

Come around, come around …no more

She spreads her love

She burns me up

I can't let go

I can't get out…

Think twice before you touch my girl…

Ginny checked her watch impatiently and looked out the now misty window, desperately wanting to escape from the tightly packed compartment. She looked over to Hermione, she appeared to be forcing a laugh at something Terry had just said, but clearly her grin didn't quite reach her eyes like it always did whenever Harry said something funny…scratch that, he could say anything and her eyes would light up.

Ginny  watched her, feeling quite frustrated…she knew perfectly well that Hermione was just running away from her own feelings, and as she looked over to Harry she realized how much that one action was hurting him. Seeing that he was looking so thoroughly miserable as he pretended to listen to Ron, she decided Hermione badly needed a talking to.

Ginny cleared her throat, looking pointedly at Hermione, "Can I talk to you for sec?" she asked, looking at her in a way that made Hermione not want to know what would happen if she didn't accept.

"Sure" she replied, as she stood up, Ginny grabbing her hand and walking into the corridor.

Ginny put her ear against the door to make sure everyone was still talking inside. Satisfied, she turned to Hermione.

"What the hell do you think you're doing in there?" she asked, not meaning to sound so harsh but she couldn't help it. Hermione was hurting both Harry and her brother at the same time without even realizing it. 

Hermione was about to say something, looking slightly offended but Ginny continued. "What is with you and Terry? I thought you liked Harry?"

Hermione rolled her eyes, but it looked to Ginny like once again she was trying to cover up what she really felt "I'm just moving on Gin…that's all…I have to." She said sighing, "I don't have a chance with Harry and I never will, so I might as well flirt with Terry. What's the problem in that?"

Hermione looked like she didn't even believe her self, in fact she looked quite disgusted with how she was acting…but she wasn't about to say anything about it.

Ginny looked at her a bit disappointed. "The problem is that you're only kidding yourself Hermione." She said softly, "You're trying to convince yourself that you have feelings for Terry…which, if I'm honest, it's obvious you don't…"

Hermione scowled as she blushed slightly.

"…so you don't have to face the fact that you're in love with your best friend."

Hermione looked at the ground, "I've told you this Ginny…I am not in love with him" she said some what firmly, though she was avoiding her friends eyes purposely.

Ginny shook her head, "Whatever Mione, but I hope you know you're not just hurting yourself" she said as Hermione looked back up at her.

"What do you mean…" she said curiously.

"Seeing you mess around with Terry is making Harry miserable Hermione! And he's definitely not the only one, Ron looks like he's about to strangle Boot" she explained, looking terribly frustrated.

"Well there you go Gin, you basically just proved why it's impossible for me and Harry to have that sort of relationship! Ron would be horrified!" Hermione retorted looking somewhat relieved she'd finally made a relevant point.

Ginny sighed deeply, "Listen Hermione, I know Ron would be a little awkward at first, but we can work it out! He'd get over it, believe me!" She said desperately, "You've got to take the chance when it's presented to you Mione, this could be the greatest thing that ever happens to you!"

Inside the compartment, Harry's chocolate frog had escaped and started bounding towards the door. He swore under his breath and everyone laughed as he jumped after it and quickly caught it in his hands. The other looked away and continued chatting, Ron grumbling to himself in the corner shooting glares at Terry. Harry was about to get up to sit back down when he heard some one outside say his name.

"It's not going to happen with Harry okay? He's one of my best friends…I-I'm better off going for someone like Terry. I don't…I CAN'T love Harry like that!"

Harry went very still, feeling his heart shatter at Hermione's words, as a large lump rose in his throat. He was simply so stunned and terribly disappointed that he didn't even register the fact that her voice sounded very shaky, as if she was trying immensely hard to make herself sound believable. Harry had always known there was a great chance of Hermione not returning his feelings but to hear it just seemed so much more devastating than thinking it.

Unfortunately, Kate had just said something funny, and Hermione's next and extremely important words were drowned out by laughter. 

"So why do I?"

Hermione had sunk down on to the ground, pulling her knees into her chest and covered her face with her hands. 

Ginny smiled sadly at her, "You can't always choose who you fall in love with Hermione" she said softly, as she sat down beside her friend, rubbing her back as she sobbed rather loudly into her hands.

Suddenly, the sliding doors of their compartment opened, and Harry stuck his head out. Although his heart was breaking because of her, he couldn't help but see what had happened, why would she suddenly be crying after her and Ginny's conversation. Shouldn't he be the one that's upset?

"What's wrong?" he asked concerned, kneeling down besides her.

Ginny looked at him with a small smile on her face, but Hermione didn't look up, not wanting him to see her tears.

"Nothing" she said shortly.

"Mione you're crying" he softly, stroking her arm affectionately.

Hermione shuddered violently as he touched her, and both Ginny and Harry looked at her oddly. 

"I'm not helpless Harry, you don't always have to act like the hero and be so bloody worried about me all the time" She snapped.

Harry winced at the harsh tone of her voice, and the 'being the hero' comment. She knew by now that he couldn't stand it when people thought of him like that.

"I'm so sorry for caring about you so much Hermione" he said sarcastically, trying to cover up his hurt with sarcasm as he walked back into the compartment, slamming the doors shut so sharply that they shattered.

"Whoa, calm down mate what's up with you?" They heard Dean say chuckling, before they were repaired with the flick of a wand and most of the sound was blocked out.

Hermione began to sob even harder, as Ginny looked at her horrified.

"What on earth was that?" she asked, looking astounded.

Hermione shook her head and looked up at her with shining brown eyes. "I have no idea! I just didn't want him to know and I just feel so a-angry" she said hiccoughing and looking quite hysterical.

Ginny sighed and rubbed her back soothingly again. "Alright, try to calm down Hermione; it's not good to get so worked up like this. Let's just go get changed, we'll be at school soon…hopefully" 

About 20 minutes of Hermione hiding in the bathroom later, the students were getting drenched as they climbed into the carriages.

Usually hearing Hagrid's shouts for the first years generally cheered Harry up, it was somehow comforting to see him there. But this time it didn't make him feel the least bit better, as he watched Hermione feeling very confused and angry about her actions on the train.

 "What is with all this bloody rain?!" Ron yelled over the noise to Harry. "It was sunny at the station, this morning!"

Harry shrugged his shoulders, not really taking much notice of the rain, as he and Ron climbed into a carriage after Seamus and Kate, purposely avoiding getting into one with Hermione.

Harry sat down by the small window and immediately wished he hadn't as they started to move towards the school…his seat had given him a perfect view of across the lake…where he, Sirius and Hermione had been corned by the Dementors in third year.

He looked away, finding it painful to remember that night, once again regretting his decision to let Pettigrew go. Harry was extremely relieved when the carriage had stopped but unfortunately as he jumped out he saw Terry helping Hermione down and found something flare inside him.

He looked around and spotted a group of girls eyeing him, sauntering over to them feeling disgustingly like Malfoy.

"Evening, Ladies" he said suavely acting completely out of character. They all giggled predictably, answering back excitedly as Harry kept looking behind him, making sure a certain someone could see what he was doing.

Hermione had spotted this, feeling jealousy bubble inside her as she narrowed her eyes at the group of pretty girls flirting with Harry. Not knowing what had made her do it, she reached up to kiss Terry on the cheek as she finished brushing her self off unnecessarily.

"Thanks Terry" she said, trying her best to say it in a sexy voice and feeling rather awkward about it. Apparently it worked. Terry looked flabbergasted that serious, studious Hermione Granger would talk like that. Just as Hermione had planned, Harry had seen this and he was more than a little ticked off.

Acting completely on his frustration, he whispered something into one of the girl's ears and to Hermione's total shock the girl grinned devilishly before Harry pulled her towards him, and started snogging the living daylights out of her in front of everyone.

Hermione's mouth was hanging open, watching the event unfold confirmed her thoughts that Ginny had certainly been wrong; he definitely did notlove her. But now that she'd realized her feelings, it was tearing her up inside to see him acting like this.

However, unbelievably, Terry seemed even more upset than she was.

"Bloody hell! What the fuck is Potter doing?!" Terry yelled angrily. "That's my sister!!"

Anyone who hadn't been watching already, turned around in shock as Terry pulled Harry off of the petite blonde, and punched him hard in the stomach, completely forgetting about his wand. Many students gasped in horror, including Hermione who ran towards them, yelling frantically for them to stop it.

But Harry had fought back, almost eagerly. It seemed he'd been holding up his anger and jealousy towards Terry all day, and he was finally letting it out.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH MY SISTER, POTTER" Terry roared with a look that would terrify most.

"THEN STAY AWAY FROM HERMIONE YOU SMARMY BASTARD!" Harry yelled back, punching him forcefully in the face and Hermione's eyes widened, 'stay away from Hermione'? What the bloody hell? 

"HARRY! TERRY!! STOP IT PLEASE!!" she screamed over the noise of the cheering Slytherins.

Ron, Dean and Seamus shoved through the sea of people, and tried to break the two apart.

"Alright mates, that's enough, get a hold of yourselves" Seamus said, as he and the other two used all their strength to tear Harry away from Terry, who was now on the ground looking rather bad. He had a cut lip, his nose was bleeding and a black eye seemed to be forming already. 

Miraculously, Harry shook off all three boys quite easily as he glared down at Terry with a loathing in his eyes that was quite terrifying, extremely un-Harry like.

"Think twice about who you're messing around with Boot" he said, his eyes flashing angrily.

The whole crowd, apart from Draco Malfoy who had snorted at the comment, fell into a deep silence as he stalked away with his robes swishing dramatically behind him.

"What on earth was that all about?" Ginny asked, not having seen much of what had been going on.

"I'm not too sure" Dean answered, watching Harry.

"Honestly…sometimes I think Harry should've been in Slytherin" Ron joked quietly to Hermione, but she simply gave him an icy look.

"Oh shut up Ron" she snapped testily, while Terry was helped up off the floor by Michael Corner.

"That's the last time I talk to you" he said, wincing as he touched his bloody lip.

Hermione opened her mouth in outrage at this comment but he'd already turned around swiftly, walking away with his arm around his sister, talking to her sternly.

Suddenly she found Malfoy smirking at her, "What are you looking at?" she spat, feeling irritable.

Malfoy snorted, "Honestly…it's a wonder you're top of the year"

"What are you on about Malfoy" she said acidly, not in the mood to deal with him.

"Merlin Granger, open your eyes will you?" he said, glancing at Harry's darkening form as he disappeared up a flight of stairs.

The flaxen haired Slytherin gave her another unreadable look as he shook his head, walking away with his usual gang of cronies into the great hall. 

Hermione followed him, with the rest of her group behind her as she muttered angrily under her breath, glaring at the back of the silver blonde head.

She soon found her anger and frustration ebbing away, as confusion clouded over her mind.

"What did he mean by that?" she asked Ginny.

"Come on Hermione…" she said exasperatedly. "Harry was jealous, and clearly he got a little carried away"

"Why would he be jealous of Terry?" she asked.

Ginny rolled her eyes, "Usually when a guy likes a girl, it's hard to see them flirting with another person" she said in a voice as if she was explaining something to a two year old.

"Ginny, Harry doesn't…"

"I've tried to tell you too many times Hermione; I think I'm just going to have to wait till you figure it out on your own." Ginny said tiredly, walking off to join her fifth year friends.

"Why is everyone acting so strange today?" Hermione muttered, feeling rather confused as to why she couldn't figure out such an apparently easy problem. She was supposed to be one of the smartest witches in Hogwarts, yet she couldn't find out why Harry was acting so odd?

The only response Hermione had gotten from her grumbled words was Seamus shrugging. He was intently watching Kate standing with a large group of timid first years, ready to be sorted.

Very contradictive to her usual behaviour, Hermione didn't pay the slightest bit of attention to the song of the sorting hat, and didn't even notice when Kate was sorted into Gryffindor either. She had rarely noticed a single thing that had happened all night, except for one important fact.

Harry hadn't showed up all evening.

"I…am…such…an…idiot…"  

Harry muttered to himself, hitting the wall of his dorm with each word.

'What the bloody hell was I thinking!!? Why on earth would I do that, she probably hates me now, dammit!' he thought angrily to himself.

He roughly shoved on a pair of pyjama bottoms and a t-shirt and got into bed.

However he found himself simply sitting there, feeling miserable with himself and regretting ever of even touching Terry. But that wasn't even the worst thing! He winced as he remembered how he'd kissed that slutty sister of his; and right in front of Hermione just to make her jealous. He couldn't even comprehend why he'd done that; it was completely out of character and he couldn't even come up with a reason why he wanted to make Hermione jealous in the first place.

Harry had a good hour to mull over these depressing thoughts, when he heard the door open.

Thinking it was just the guys coming back from dinner he didn't move from his position, pretending to be asleep as he stared up at the canopy as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.

"Harry?" came a female voice from nearby, causing him to jump.

"Thank god, it's Hermione" Harry thought to himself, as he pulled the curtains open to reveal her slightly angry looking face.

"Damn...I should've known she'd be mad with me, I acted like a bloody fool" He thought immediately, disgusted with himself.

Before Hermione had come inside, she'd promised herself she'd stay on track and keep herself angry with him.

But as his face appeared with his hair slightly messier than it usually was, wearing a shirt she herself had given him and looking deeply ashamed of himself, she found her frustrations and annoyances leaving her quickly.

In fact, she simply stood there for a minute looking at him as she forgot completely what she had been about to say. But before she could cover up her awkward silence, Harry spoke up.

"I'm sorry Hermione" he said quietly, looking up at her. "I was completely out of line to do that to Terry…or to his sister"

Hermione winced as the scene popped into her mind.

She sighed at how he'd knocked down her walls of restraint already, and climbed onto his bed.

"It's okay Harry, I…" she started but Harry shook his head, interrupting her.

"No it's not, Mione…I shouldn't of done that, I don't know what came over me" he said softly.

They sat in silence for a couple of seconds, before Harry placed her hands in his making her look up at him in wonder. "I guess I'm not ready to let go of you yet" he said so quietly that she barely heard him, as he gently rubbed her hand, avoiding her eyes.

Hermione smiled warmly, "You don't have to let go of me Harry, I don't want you to" she said softly, and as he looked up he realized once more how much he loved her.

He returned her smile, and pulled her into a comforting hug. Harry closed his eyes at the blissful feeling that was coming over him as he held her, his body so close to hers. The two sat together in peaceful silence, basking in the warmth of their embrace before they gently pulled away.

Harry placed a soft kiss on her temple before he let go, making Hermione inhale sharply at the sensation flowing through her.

Harry looked down at her, feeling a million different things at once…he felt happiness, he felt desire…but the amount of love he had for the girl sitting in front of him was suddenly so overwhelming, his breath caught in his throat. He definitely wasn't used to this feeling.

"She's so beautiful" he thought to himself, and he saw a look of surprise cross Hermione's face. "Merlin, did I just say that out loud?"

 "What'd you say?" Hermione asked softly, hardly able to believe her own ears.

"Damn"

I know, I know…really short…and not too great in my opinion but whatever! Please don't say anything about how short it is, it's rather embarrassing and I KNOW it's short so you don't need to tell me. So thanks for reading, and please if you have time, review! Thanks!
