In the morning

Harry thought a while. No one was waiting him at Durslays place. But here… Hermione looked at him and first time he noticed how beautiful eyes she had. He couldn't resist her offer. There was something about her and the way she looked at him. "Alright, if it makes you happy"

Hermione couldn't hold back a smile and she wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you" she said and leaded him to house.

When he entered he realized that that he had never been in her place before. He looked around and smiled. "It's nice here" he didn't know what else to say.

Hermione took him to second floor. "That's my room" she said when they entered a room what was full of books. "You'll stay in the room what's next to mine." She said smiling but her smile faded when she saw Harry holding her diary. She was lucky that he didn't open it.

"What's that?" he asked.

"Nothing" she said blushing and took it away.

"It is something, otherwise you wouldn't blush"

Hermione blushed more. "Do you want to see your room or not?" she asked trying to change the subject.

"Sure" he said and followed Hermione to next room. Harry sat down on a bed and looked down.

"I'll better go now and let you get some sleep. If you need anything then you know where to find me" she said and turned around.

But Harry stood up, took her hand and turned her around. "Goodnight Hermione" he said and kissed her to cheek. When he realized what he just did, he blushed.

"Goodnight Harry" she said and blushed too.

Hermione lays awake in her bed, dreaming about Harry. She couldn't believe that he was there and that he just kissed her to cheek.

Harry was awake too. He was confused about his feelings. We're just friends. He said to himself. Then why I want to be with her more then usual? Why she makes my heart beat like that?

Without finding her answers he got up and knocked on Hermione's door. "Hermione? Are you sleeping?"

She wasn't sleeping and she got up and opened the door. "Harry. Why you're not sleeping?"

"I could ask you the same thing. May I come in?"

"yea, sure." She said and let him come in.

"I couldn't sleep. I was thinking… " He started.

Hermione looked down and said nothing. Harry walked closer to her. "What happened?" he asked.

Hermione looked at him. "What?" she was confused.

"What happened with us?"

"What do you mean?" she asked again and looked into his green eyes, what were so beautiful.

Harry shook his head. "Ah, nothing Forget it okay?" he wasn't ready to tell anything. And what on earth I could tell her? I don't even know what's going on… He walked into the window. "I can't believe he's actually gone." He said sadly changing the subject.

Does he know? Does he feel the same way? Hermione was in panic. What if… what if he doesn't want to see me anymore? Why you changed the subject Harry? She bit her lip, not knowing what to do or say.

Harry was still looking out of the window. "I miss him, Hermione." Hermione saw that his he was crying. She moved towards to him. "Why this had to be me? Why I lose everyone I care about?" he lowered his head.

Hermione was still quiet and she walked into him. She put her hands on his back and her head on his shoulder, giving him a weak hug. "I don't know Harry"

Harry didn't move, didn't push her away. No, he liked to be there in dark room with Hermione. "I wonder why you are still here with me…" he asked.

"I would never leave you"

"Why? Aren't you afraid? Something has happened to everyone I care about"

"You care about me?" she asked shyly, but her voice was full of hope. Harry turned around and looked at her eyes.

"Of course I care. You are my best friend." Hermione smiled weakly. This wasn't the answer what she wanted to hear.

How could I ever though that he likes me more then a friend? "You are my best friend too and… and I care about you too and that's why I would never leave you." She said and tried to hold back her tears. She wanted to cry… tell him the truth.

"Thanks Hermione" he said and hugged her. "This means a lot to me."

Hermione smiled weakly. "I think we should go back to sleep now" she said and Harry just nodded. Then he turned around and walked back to his room.

When he led down he started to think. He was confused. This is stupid. We're friends. He didn't know why he repeated this to himself. He couldn't sleep. Neither did Hermione.

Hermione was lying in her bed and she was crying. Harry heard her crying and he went back to her room.

He saw Hermione there, in her bed, crying. He walked slowly into her and sat down on her bed. Hermione didn't look up, she knew who was there, next to her. Harry just hugged her, not knowing what to do or say.

When the morning came Harry found himself in Hermione's room, still holding her in his arms. He couldn't believe that he fell asleep.

Hermione was still sleeping and Harry didn't move himself, he didn't want to wake her. I wonder what is wrong? Why she's so upset? Is it in me? What did I do? He though. Before she woke up.

Hermione woke up and when she saw Harry, she jumped a little for surprise and blushed. "What… um… I'm sorry" she said and got up. She rushed to bathroom. She was embarrassed but she was happy too. He was there, with her all night…

She finally went back to her room and Harry was still there. "Let's go and get some breakfast"
