A/N: thank u my newest reviewer teacherspet (hehe nikki) who just happens to be my friend at school. Anyways, anyone else who reads this, please review it, it would really make my day.
Anyhoo, the story.
After a few minutes, Harry looked up and saw Hermione heading towards him, broom in hand. When she reached him, she said, 'Ron decided not to come. He said that he doesn't feel that his presence is wanted.' Harry and Hermione let out a laugh and Harry said, 'Suits me. Shall we get started then?' Hermione nodded and Harry led the way onto the middle of the pitch.
Harry had already decided that on that day, they would start with the very basic basics. In the two hours they were out in the cold, Hermione had eventually mastered how to mount, kick off, hold the broom and how to control the broom. Once she had learnt these, she and Harry flew low above the ground for the last ten minutes or so. When they decided it was time to stop, they landed gently on the ground and Harry walked over to Hermione. When he reached her, he grabbed her hand, raised it above their heads and shouted, 'meet Hermione granger, the new star of Hogwarts Quidditch!' She took a mock bow. They laughed and Harry released her hand. With a shock, he realised how natural it felt holding her hand. He let out a gentle sigh and thought to himself, 'Don't kid yourself. It's never going to happen. Be happy with what you have.' As they walked back up to the castle, Harry glanced sideways at Hermione, and was suddenly struck by how much she had changed since they had started at Hogwarts. She used Sleekeazy's Hair Potion everyday now, her teeth were no longer abnormally large and there was something else. Harry couldn't quite put his finger on, but there was a new brightness to her eyes, and a spring in her step. Harry put it down to a new confidence within herself. She seemed happier. This, and the differences in her appearance from their first year made Harry suddenly realise something. He was attracted to her! All these subtle changes had made Hermione seem to him, no longer just one of his best friends, but a girl, and an attractive one at that! He was surprised at himself, but pleased nevertheless. He smiled happily to himself as the made their way up the marble staircase. She was still one of his best friends, but now...well now, he could certainly see what Krum (and perhaps Ron) were so interested in. He looked up, to see Hermione looking at him. He quickly pushed these thoughts out of the way and said to her, 'Well, this was great, wasn't it?' She nodded and smiled as they made their way through the portrait hole. Harry didn't want this new interest to become known to anyone, not yet anyway, he didn't want to scare her away. When they reached the common room, they found Ron seated near the fire, playing chess with Ginny. Harry and Hermione headed over to them, sat down and watched Ron win the game in a few short moves. Hermione turned to Ron and asked tentatively, 'So, how was your afternoon? What did you do?' Ron looked away and mumbled something that Harry understood as, 'met Cho...classroom...did stuff.' Harry laughed to himself. He was glad that Ron wasn't angry with him and Hermione. He left Ron to recover his from his embarrassment and instead swivelled around to whisper to Hermione, 'Well, this worked out pretty well. Do you want to continue fro the rest of the holidays?' Hermione gave him a nod and Harry smiled. He was glad there was a lot of the holiday left.
o.k so what do you think? Good, bad, really really bad? Let me know. I have three more chapters written, but I wont post them until I get some more reviews
