Chapter 5:

It was about 10:30 at night when they finally went up to bed. Harry was relived that his friends had given up trying to pry from him what he had heard in his head not long ago. Harry couldn't sleep. He dwelled on what the voice kept telling him. Don't tell! Don't tell! But why? Why was it important for no one to know what he was hearing inside his head? Was he just hearing himself? Finally after much thinking Harry drifted off to sleep, which was hard, what with Ron's snoring. He had fallen asleep as soon as hit the pillow. That unfortunately was not Harry's luck.

The next morning, a bright and sunny Friday. Harry woke up to a happy and already dressed Ron.

"You're dressed already?" Harry asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah, Hermione is going to help me with more of my home work. She wants to start early. I don't see why she couldn't have waited for a few hours, till say after school." Ron says disappointedly.

"You know you want to spend more time with her. I see the way you look at her." Harry says with a slight giggle.

As Ron blushes a bright shade of red he says "That's not entirely true Harry. Were just good friends. Buds, like you and me."

"Sure Ron. What ever you say.' Harry replies. 'Maybe I should leave you alone till classes start!"

"Don't you dare!" Ron says agitated and worried.

"You head down; I'll meet you guys down in the library."

"You sure Harry?" Ron asks suspiciously.

"Yeah. Trust me." Harry replies with a wave of his hand.

As Ron leaves the dorm room, Harry quickly dresses and heads to the Great Hall with Neville.

During breakfast Harry could see a very agitated Ron head toward him.

"I thought you were doing your homework with Hermione. And where is she?" Harry asked conversationally. People at Gryffindor table begin to giggle.

"I thought you said you were coming? I left Hermione in the library to see where you were." Ron stated.

"Sorry, I got a little side tracked. But you and Hermione did get you're work done? Right?"

"A bit. But that's not the point. You lied." Ron stated again. As people began to giggle even more. "Oh, shut up, that's not what I meant."

Harry was fighting furiously to contain his laughter that was bubbling to the surface. Did he realize what he just said?

"Sorry Ron. I was going to come, but I got a little hungry. I thought I'd come up after breakfast." Harry lied.

As Ron and Harry left for the library whispers could be heard as they paced. While they got farther and farther from the Great Hall, strangely enough the laughing got louder and louder. As if they never heard someone say they were with a friend studying in the library before. As they walked Harry was biting his lip trying not to join in the laughing.

"Ron needs to really think before he opens his mouth, especially when talking about Hermione" Harry thinks to himself.

Hermione sees them as they enter the library "There you are, where have you been?"

"I found him in the Great Hall!" Ron stated.

"I can talk you know Ron, or are you trying to impress Hermione" Harry half whispers. "Anyway I have to go back to the common room and get my books" He says turning to leave the library.

"Oh, no you don't. You're not leaving and heading to eat again. I'm not falling for that twice in one morning." Ron says as Hermione buts in.

"We have to go to Ron. It's class in a little while. We have to prepare." Hermione states as she packs.

"That's so like her. She has to "Prepare" before she goes to class!" Ron says agitated.

"She want's to put makeup on for you." He whispers to his best friend.

While heading down the hall to the common room Harry just couldn't keep his face straight. He just burst out laughing. But did his best to cover it up with a cough. As they walked Harry could hear every one talking about what Ron had said. As they approached with in eaves dropping distance all would go nervously still. As if hoping he would let a little more slip.

As they head into the Divination class room Neville pulls Harry aside.

"Is it true? Are Ron and Hermione going out?" Neville seemed a bit nervous. As if looking to see if Ron could hear him.

"I don't think so! They have feelings for each other, but they don't want to admit it."

As they sat down, Professor Trelawney looked around.

"There is love in the air." She says as she looks at Ron.

"Well of course she knows. She probably heard it through the walls. Every one is talking about Ron and Hermione. But how could Harry just keep a straight face like that? I'd bee crumpled over laughing if it was my two best friends." Said a fellow Gryffindor from across the room.

The class went by not at all like it normally did. Every one was looking at Ron. And he was beginning to get suspicious.

As Harry, Ron and Hermione were about to walk into Transfiguration at the end of the day, Neville walked up to Harry and pulled him aside.

"Harry, you might not want to walk in just yet. I heard someone say the whole class was going to do something as they walked into class. Don't tell anyone I told you. Okay?" Neville said nervously.

"Yeah, okay. Thanks Neville." Harry replied.

Just as he looked toward the door, Ron and Hermione entered the class. Everyone was humming the wedding song. But no one was looking up. They looked transfixed upon their tables. Ron and Hermione stopped dead in their tracks.

Looking at Ron as if she knew he did something wrong asked... "What did you do Ronald?"

"Wha'? Nothing!"

Hermione sat down next to Harry at a table at the back of the class. She looked at Ron and back to the table.

"Harry, what did Ronald say at breakfast?"

"Erm..." Harry hesitated.

After an interesting yet boring class, Hermione left the class before Harry or Ron could get up. Half way up the stone steps Hermione could hear Ron and Harry say

Just then a girl from Slytherin walked up to her.

"Did you know what Ron said this morning?"

"No! What?" Hermione said curiously.

"Well Harry asked if you two had got any work done. And Ron said; well, to put it in his exact words... "A bit. But that's not the point." Hope you invite me to the wedding Granger."

Hermione stood with a blank face. She could not believe what she had heard.

"Hermione, wait up." Ron shouted.

Just as Harry and Ron had caught up with Hermione, Luna Lovegood had walked by.

"Oh, hello Luna. Where are you off to?" Hermione asked.

But Luna just kept walking.

It is the end of a hectic day and Luna was very tired but not really. She took out her Defense Against the Dark Arts text book, and opens it. She started to head down the hall towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts room. "I need to ask Professor Gertrude about the homework' she thinks 'I am quite confused." As she nears the room she hears a couple of voices in the room. Thinking that it was just another student in there. She slowly opens the door and sees Professor Gertrude handing a note to someone that looks like the known details of wormtail.

"Here is the information that the Lord wanted to know about Harry" she says turning as she hears the door open and sees Luna. "You there, I think you've heard too much." She walks slowly towards Luna raising her wand as Wormtail turns into a rat and heads out of the door.
