Hermione stood under the hot spray thinking about Harry and his arms. 'Harry has certainly grown up in the past 5 years. When did he get so strong? Why am I thinking about Harry in this way? Ugh. Maybe I'm just tried' Hermione shut off the showerhead and dried off. She then picked out a pair of black pants and a blue shirt. As she was combing her hair, Ginny came in and went to a mirror to fix her make-up. 'Wait... Ginny's putting on make-up? When did that happen?' " Ginny are you putting on make-up when did that happen?" said Hermione in a flabbergasted voice.
Ginny laughed and said, "I'm just putting some on for a certain someone." With that statement Ginny blushed.
"I knew it! You still like Harry don't you?"
"Maybe" Ginny was as red as her hair and Hermione laughed.
"You do."
"I do." Both girls walked out of the bathroom and into the common room where Ron was waiting impatiently.
"Come on, the game is about to start." Ginny and Hermione exchanged looks and walked outside with Ron. As they were taking their seats, the announcer called out the teams. Harry flew up and waved at them. All three waved back. Gryffindor won, and Ravenclaw lost. Hermione Ron and Ginny all ran down and congratulated Harry on catching the snitch.
"Harry, that was wonderful," said Ginny, almost gushing at Harry.
"Thanks, Ginny," said Harry, blushing. Hermione smiled big and patted Harry on the back.
"You did well, Harry."
Harry smiled and said "Thanks, Hermione."
Ron tapped Harry on the shoulder. "You were great. Lets go to dinner. I'm starving."
Harry went off to change out of his Quidditch robes and waved for them to go ahead.
At dinner the four talked about anything and everything, and Harry bought up the dance that Friday, and everyone groaned because they had forgotten about it and had 2 days to find a date. "Well lets all go together since none of us have a date," said Hermione in a treacherly voice.
"Okay, that sounds great, Hermione," said Harry as he patted her shoulder.
Hermione felt a spark from where Harry had touched her. 'What was that? That was like what I felt when he stopped me from falling.' She then said, "Well, I'm going to my room to study for tomorrow's test. We all need to study for that." She said, looking at all three of them. They put their heads down, and with that Hermione left the Great Hall. She ran into Malfoy on her way to the Gryffindor tower. 'Great, I get to run into Malfoy again.' He looked at her and smiled, all the while thinking about how to ask her to the dance this Friday. Hermione, who was very shaken by the fact that that looked like a real smile, tried to walk around Malfoy, but he was to fast for her. He took her arm and pushed her into the library.
"Malfoy, what are you doing? Let go of me."
"Look, Granger, I need help for that test tomorrow, and since I have two of your books, I think you need to tutor me," said Malfoy with a smirk on his face.
"What are you talking about, Malfoy? LET GO OF MY ARM, OR I'LL HEX YOU!"
"Miss Granger, please stop your shouting at once!" Hermione glared at Malfoy until he let go of her arm.
"Look, I have your Hogwarts: A History and your journal, so if you don't want me to read about the first time you had your period, I suggest you tutor me."
Hermione's face fell. "You're a prick, Malfoy."
"Thanks, Granger, I can tell you have a very high opinion of me," he said with a smile.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Let me go get my book. It's on my desk." Malfoy looked at her oddly and led the way to the Gryffindor tower.
Hermione ran into Harry on her way to her room. "Hey, Hermione. Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Umm... I'm going to get my book so I can study in the library." She turned around to go up the stairs that led to the dormitory.
"Wait! let me come with you; we can study together."
"NO! ...I mean, you don't have to do that, and I like to study by myself sometimes, so bye, Harry."
Harry frowned, nodded, and watched Hermione run to get her book. 'Maybe I should tell her that I like her.' Hermione got her book and ran out of the tower to go study, unaware that Harry was fighting himself about a matter long undecided.
