Chap 4, Enjoy peeps! I hope you all like this story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter Four: Fights

The door slowly opened and in stepped Harry. He closed it behind him and locked it so as we wouldn't be disturbed. I pulled my pillow up to my chest and hugged it as I sat cross legged staring into space. Before I realised what was happening, the tears were starting again and the sobs racked my body. Harry didn't say a word but pulled me into his lap and let me cry on his shoulder. He knew that I would tell him in time. He always knew what to do.

When I had calmed myself down enough to speak, I brought my head up and smiled at Harry. He smiled back and got up of the bed. He kneeled down on the floor in front of me and took my hands in his own, gently stroking them with his thumbs.

"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked gently.

I took in a deep breath before I explained the whole thing to him, from when I met Oliver, right up to this point. When I had finished, all Harry did was smile and give me the best piece of advice I had received all summer.

"Hermione, it shouldn't matter what house your both in, what matters is how you feel. Sure he might be a Slytherin, but if he's anything like you, then you will make the right choice and go and talk to him. I'll cover for you" he finished, smiling.

"Thanks Harry" I said hugging him. "You always know what to do to make me feel better"

I smiled back at him and for a moment I was sure that I saw something glint in his eye, but just like lightning, it was gone in an instant. He stood up and started towards the door, when he stopped.

"There's one more thing, wait here"

With that, he slipped out of the door and within two minutes he was back with what appeared to be, a silvery mass in his arms.

"You might need this to get out of the tower, if anyone asks where you are, I'll tell them your in the library ok, and you ran out of the hall earlier, because…because…"

"Because I wanted to be the first one to the library to get the latest addition of Hogwarts: A History. Thanks Harry, you don't know how much this means to me" I said, as I slipped the cloak over my head and body.

"Don't mention it, I'll see you later ok"

"Ok"

With that, I slipped out of the door and down the stairs, the common room was bussing with excitement at the fact of another year at Hogwarts. I dodged the students as I made my way to the portrait hole and carefully, so as not to bump into anybody, walked out between a group of first year students, apparently out to explore the castle.

Even if it was only seven o'clock, I kept Harry's invisibility cloak over me so as not to be seen by other students, I really didn't want to be dealing with them right now.

Since I had a pretty good idea of where the Slytherin common room was located, I quickly made my way towards the corridor that joined with it at the very end of the dungeons. I positioned myself at the end of corridor, next to an ugly painting of a cat, which was running about chasing after a mouse, every so often it would top and look around for it, before catching sight, and taking chase again.

I waited for nearly half an hour out in the corridor when I finally saw Oliver come walking down the corridor, mumbling to himself. He stopped outside the paint of the cat and mouse, and began to pace back and forth.

I saw that there was an empty classroom right next to us, so I pushed him into it and followed behind him. Once I had locked the door I took the cloak of myself and stared him in the eyes, unsure of how to start.

"Hi Oliver"

"Granger"

Granger? What was with the last name basis, had I done something wrong?

"Are you calling me by my last name for a reason?" I asked.

He dodged my question and instead starting yelling at me.

"You're a Gryffindor! How could I have been so stupid as not to see it!"

"Why, it doesn't matter, does it? I mean all that counts is that we like each other and we shouldn't care what other people think, right?"

"It may not matter to you Hermione, but it sure as hell matters to me. I cant be seen with a Gryffindor, let alone you. I have an image to uphold"

That was it, I could take it anymore, something inside of me snapped and I slapped him hard across the face.

"I'm sorry I ever wasted my time on you, I thought you were someone who liked me for me, and few people do, but I'm glad now that you don't, I cant stand another moment in your company!" I screamed at him.

"Goodbye Oliver" I said, staring at the red mark on his face which I had put there.

I stormed out of the room and threw the cloak over myself. Despite feeling good about what I had just done, I was also very hurt at the fact of what he had said, and I couldn't help but feel the tears begin to fall, but I forced myself to not cry, at least not until I was back in the girls dormitories.
