Harry sat in the common room wondering all day how he could get Hermione back.

"Why was I so stupid?" Harry asked banging his head against a book. As Harry banged his head against a book Ron came walking in the room, his nose had a small white bandage on it and his stomach was wrapped in a long white bandage. Harry looked at him then let out a slight roar of anger then looked away.

"Harry are you going to stay mad at me? I'm sorry for loving Hermione as much as you love her!" Ron roared back.

"You can't love her Ron she loves me and I love her back!" Harry yelled turning around towards Ron quickly.

"Well once Hermione actually sees how abusively jealous you are maybe she'll come to her senses and come to me!" Ron glared at him.

"Ron I'd never let that happen. I love Hermione more than you ever will! And if for some reason you two did start dating which is very unlikely I would." Harry stopped he didn't know what he would do if Ron and Hermione started dating. A single tear dripped down his face thinking about it. Ron's face simmered down into a small smile and he patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Listen Harry I'm your best friend we're bound to like the same girl sometime." Ron joked. "But we shouldn't let that come between our friendship. We were both just stupid enough to fall in love with our other best friend." Ron said letting a small grin escape from his mouth.

"Ron I am deeply in love with Hermione, every time she comes near me I can't breath every time she laughs my knees shake, every time she says my name I feel like I am flying on my broom. Oh and those eyes those gorgeous brown eyes, Ron I am head over heels in love with Hermione." Harry said letting out a slight sigh.

"I know that Harry and I'm sorry for feeling the same way about Hermione. And I'm also sorry for kissing her while you two were together."

"I'll get her back I know it." Harry said letting out a small smile.

"I'm sure you will Harry, and I promise I will not get in the middle of your relationship with Hermione any more." Ron said putting his hand out to his best friend. Harry gladly shook it and gave his best friend a hug.

"Well I'm happy to see you two are friends again." A familiar voice sounded from behind them. They pulled apart to notice Hermione standing there.

"Hermione." Harry said stepping closer to her.

"Not another step Harry Potter." She said setting a glare at him.

"Aww Mione don't be mad at me." Harry said smiling taking another step closer to her.

"Well I'll leave you two love birds alone." Ron mumbled walking up towards the boy's dormitory.

"Harry I'm serious I think it should be over between us." Hermione gulped as he got closer to her.

"Mione you know I love you and you love me why would you want us to break up." He smiled rubbing his body up against hers.

"Harry I mean it's just so hard."

"And when have you been afraid of hard work." Harry grinned wrapping his arms slowly around her waste.

"Harry being with you is not work." Hermione said. Harry leaned in to set his gentle lips against hers but before he could she spoke.

"It's not work, it's a choice between love and friendship. And I have no clue what to choose." Hermione said pulling away from Harry's arms. "Goodnight Harry." She spoke silently and walked up to the girl's dormitory.

"Goodnight Hermione and sweet dreams." He frowned letting out a small sigh.

~ Next day ~

Harry awoke the next day feeling slightly ill. It wasn't like he was ill from the flu or something it was because he knew Hermione and him were not together and he didn't know how to get her back.

"Harry wake up Harry we have to go to class!" Ron was sitting above him shaking him by his shoulders. Harry woke up practically knocking Ron on the ground as he sat up.

"What time is it Ron." Harry asked looking around seeing no one but him and Ron in the room.

"Well I can tell you it's way past time for class." Ron said gulping while standing up and brushing off his robe. Harry then stood up from his bed as fast as possible rummaging through his trunk putting on a pair of black pants and a red gryffindor shirt then slipping on his robe. He put on his shoes and socks quickly then him and Ron ran to their class.

"What class are we in now?" Harry asked while running. Then they both stopped, they were feeling really ill now. The realized they had the teacher they hated the most. Professor Snape the Potions teacher. They arrived at Snapes class and walked in through the door, it creaked loud so that the whole room could hear. They could feel the heads of the class turn towards them, then a loud manly voice yelling towards them it was Snape.

"Why are you two so late?" Snape roared.

"Well we um." Harry stuttered. Then Hermione stood up and looked towards Professor Snape.

"Excuse me Professor but does wolf fang go into this potion?" Hermione asked giving Harry and Ron a slight smile. Snape immediately turned towards Hermione and gave her a venomous stare.

"Sit down Miss. Granger can't you see I am speaking!" he yelled walking back to his desk. "As for you two 50 points from Gryffindor. for each of you for your tardiness." He said sitting down at his desk.

Harry and Ron took their usual seats down by Hermione and smiled at her a thank you then grabbed all the ingredients needed to do the potion they were working on, making sure to go in the correct order the stuff was listed on the board. After missing 10 to 20 minutes of potions it still seemed like they had been in that class forever. But it eventually ended and by the end of the day they all met up in the great hall at the gryffindor table.

"Thanks again Hermione if it weren't for you in Potions we probably would have gotten more points taken off if he found out we over slept." Ron said devouring some spaghetti.

"Yeah Mione we owe you big time." Harry smiled taking a fork full of spaghetti and placing it in his mouth.

"Yeah well I wouldn't call myself a friend if I didn't do that." Hermione smiled placing a tiny piece of fruit in her mouth.

Harry sat there watching her take a bite of the piece of fruit and watched the gentle lips that he had once had. And looked at her body up and down the body he once almost had. Hermione noticed it and got slightly nervous by it so she shrugged slightly wrapping her robe more around herself.

"Well I really should be getting to bed I am going to finish my book then head to bed I'll see you guys tomorrow alright?" Hermione smiled warmly standing up from her seat and walking away and up the stairs. Harry sat there watching her feeling his air supply fading away slowly as she walked.

"Go on man go get her." Ron said swallowing the bite of food he had in his mouth. Harry looked at his best friend and knew they would have fights in the future but will in the end always be friends. Harry stood up quickly and ran out of the great hall. Softly speaking the password to the fat lady he walked into the gryffindor common room to see Hermione sleeping with her head against her arms at the table in the common room.

"Hermione?" Harry spoke walking closer to her. He came about an inch from her and shook her slightly. "Hermione wake up." When she didn't stir he softly picked her head up to see a bottle in one of her hands and Hermione not breathing.

"Hermione!" He yelled in fright.
