As the days passed by Harry noticed that Hermione was avoiding him. He couldnt blame her. Heknew her well enough to know that she was upset and probably didnt want anything to do with himright now. Ron being clueless like always barely noticed. He had been walking around in a daze.Knowing that Hermione was in his home made Ron so completly happy. The day before they wereto leave to go back to Hogwarts, Mrs. Weasley opened the door to Ron's Room.

"Time to get up you two. We need to get to Diagon Alley to get you new schoolthings."

"Five more minutes, Mum."

"No. We have a lot to do today." (She left closing the door)

"You'd better get up Ron. She could come back." Harry told him

"That was the best nights sleep I ever had."

"Let me guess it was about Hermione."

"What makes you say that."

"Because you were saying her name in your sleep. Give it up Ron, I know you like her."

"Dont tell her. Ok. Im not ready to tell her."

"Ok I wont."

Harry felt bad. He had already told he. He was hoping that she would never tell Ron what happened.

Or what was said. He missed being able to talk to her. If only he could go back in time and changewhat he did. If only i kept walking up the stairs.

"Is something wrong Harry? You look upset about something."

"No, Im fine." (He looked up and saw that someone was opening the door.) It was Hermione.

"Ron, your mom told me to come and make sure you were up."

"Im up. I'll be back." (He left the room)

"Uh... Hi Hermione."

"Hello Harry."

"Im sorry about what happened the other night. Can we just go back to being friends."

"I cant. Things will never be the same. I love you, Harry. You made a choice so now you have to live with the consequences."

"I love you, too. And im sorry i hurt you."

"You obviously don't love me enough. Cause you'd rather have a friendship than be with me."

"That's not fair Hermione."

"Never mind."

And with that she left the room slamming the door shut. Harry just collapsed on the bed. Why do these things have to be so complicated. Feeling completly overwhelmed he got back under the covers and tried to go back to sleep. A few minutes later Ron came back in the room.

"Harry? You'd better get up we are getting ready to leave."

"Do me a favor tell you mom that i dont feel good."

"Ok i'll try. But i dont know if she will fall for it."

Since he never came back, Harry guessed she fell for it. He feel asleep. He had a very wierd dream. In his dream, Ron had sided with Voldemort and Hermione was with him. Then Voldemort looked directly at Harry and laughed. Harry woke with a jolt. When everyone got back, Ron brought up all of his new stuff.

"Why didnt you want to go today."

"I just didnt feel like it."

"Well we decided to play one last game of quidditch before we go back tommorow. Are you in?"

"No thanks. I think i'll just pack."

"Ok. See you later."

After he had gone through all of his new stuff he began to put it in his trunk. He was still so tired that he decided to turn in early. After getting into his pajamas and turning off the light. He just layed there. Thinking about everything: Sirius, His parents and Hermione. He hated that she was angry with him. If only he could tell Ron and hopefully he wouldn't get mad. He just about dozed off when there was a knock on the door.

"Harry are you awake?"

She crossed the room and stood by his bed.

"Harry?"

"What is it Hermione?" (He didnt mean to, but those words came out kind of Harsh)

"Nevermind."

She got up to leave and Harry grabbed her arm.

"Hermione i do want to be with you. More than you'll ever know. But i cant betray Ron like that. You know how he is. He'll get really jealous and mad."

"Then just let me talk to him. Maybe i can make him understand."

"Just give me some time to tell him myself. Can you wait for me?"

"Of course i can."

She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. He sat up, pulled her on his lap and kissed her on the lips. Just like before a huge electric pulsed through them. They were so caught up into it that the didnt hear approaching footsteps. A few seconds later Ron entered the room.

"What the bloody hell is going on?"

They jumped apart.

"Ron it isnt what it looks like."

"Really so Hermione just tripped and you caught her with your lips. How could you do this to me."

"Ron im sorry. I couldnt help it."

Hermione was standing tears flowing as the friends argued.

"Please Ron dont be mad. We wanted to tell you." Hermione cried.

"So this has been going on for awhile."

"Listen to me Ron didnt want you to get hurt." Harry replied.

"Guess that plan backfired big time." Ron spat.
