Ron sighed and walked up towards the boy's dormitory when he heard a sneeze.

"Who's there?" He asked turning around swiftly in the direction he heard the noise.

"Ron it's only me calm down." Hermione said coming out of the distant darkness. After a long pause she spoke again.

"You're right I do really care about Harry but it's getting harder and harder every day to love one of my best friends." She sighed.

"Hermione that's the thing about love though without hard moments then the world would be perfect, and who wants the world to be perfect? Do you want the world to be a perfect place where everyone likes everyone? Sounds great but it's not going to happen."

"Yeah I know Ron but still this is different."

"How? How is this so different?"

"Now, everytime I see Harry I'm going to think the guy that tried to poison me all because of Malfoy."

"Malfoy! That bloody git you're really gonna give into his hypnotism! Well then you aren't the Hermione I know. You aren't the smart and beautiful Hermione I know, or knew." He sighed and walked up back towards the boy's common room.

"Ron I am the same Hermione it's just I am confused." She cried running up to him and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"We all get confused at times Hermione it's nothing to be ashamed of. You just cry and cry and well.cry some more until you see that you and Harry actually belong together." He smiled.

"Ron I don't know what I would do without you." She smiled back placing a gentle kiss on his cheek. "You're a good friend." At that she walked up the steps and into the girls dormitory.

Ron smiled yet again and also walked up to his room to head to bed.

~ The next day ~

Harry awoke the next day feeling slightly crummy from the night before. He knew he had classes today but he didn't really feel much like going to them, he almost thought about saying he was sick. Which wouldn't be quite a lie since he felt like he was going to throw up from feeling so horrible. He got up from bed and got dressed into his slightly baggy jeans and a red short sleeve shirt, along with his house robe. After getting into his clothes he sighed and walked down into the common room. Before he could say anything or even think about what was happening Hermione ran up to him and threw her arms around his neck.

"Harry I'm sorry I was a complete idiot last night." She smiled feeling happy to be hugging him.

"No Mione I guess I was just being a complete arse of myself."

"Damn it Harry what did you do? It was all me." She pulled away slightly and brushed her lips gently against his, then pulled them back again.

"Wow I can see you two are back together again." Ron yawned while walking down the boy's dormitory room stairs.

"Yes we are, and thanks Ron. Without you I don't think I would have came back to Harry anytime soon." She laughed.

"Yeah Ron thanks." Harry said walking over to him and putting his hand out.

"Harry I always have your back." He gladly shook it.

"Now which one of you two wants to go eat." Hermione asked the two and watched their faces light up into a smile.

"Wow Hermione you read my mind I'm starving!" Ron pronounced.

"Ron you're always hungry." Harry and Hermione both laughed.

"Let's just go and eat." Ron grinned. They walked out of the common room and down to the great hall and there came all the faces and stares. Shrugging it off they walked to their usual spots at their table and started to eat. The stares became less and less as the time went by and the volume became louder.

"Why do you suppose their all staring at us weird? It's not like we're a bunch of pixies with our heads cut off " Hermione yelled so that practically the whole room could hear. Professor Flitwick just smiled as well did Professor Mcgonagall.

"I have an announcement to make." The head master Albus Dumbledore stood up and stated letting his voice echo throughout the room. "As of recent events," he looked straight at Hermione then continued to talk again, "we shall not be taking any recent trips to Hogsmead. Also to remind you all if anyone is to be found out of your bed after hours you will be serving detention with Professor Snape or Professor Mcgonagall, Slytherins and Ravenclaw will be having detention with Professor Mcgonagall, and Gryffindor and Hufflepuff will serve it with Professor Snape. So I suggest you all be well mannered and listen to the rules. Now begin with dessert." At the twinkle of the headmaster's eye's dessert appeared on the table right before their eyes and the feast began.

"Do you think he was talking about my recent events?" Hermione asked while grabbing a creamed donut from the center of the table.

"Of course he was you saw the look in his eyes, and where they were looking." One of the Weasley twins answered coming up behind Hermione and grabbed her donut.

"Fred that was mine." Hermione grinned.

"Oh sorry you want it back?" he asked pointing it out towards her after he had taken a huge bite out of it.

"No you can have it now." She sighed and grabbed another donut.

"Are you two back together now?" Ask the other Weasley twin who walked up behind Hermione like the other twin and grabbed that donut out of her hand.

"Why does everyone insist on stealing my donuts?"

"Yeah we're back together George." Harry smiled.

"That's good. Oh, did you want the donut?" George asked putting it back in her hand with only a bite left of it.

"Um that's ok George." She smirked and threw it back to him.

"Suit yourself." He smiled and took the last bite.

"Has anyone seen Gin?" Asked Fred.

"We haven't seen her all day." Repeated George after Fred.

"Can't say I have." Ron replied.

"Nope not here." Said Harry.

"Not all day." Answered Hermione.

At that a loud shriek came right towards them and hit harry straight in the face.

"Blood hell Ron your owl almost killed me." Yelled Harry.

"Look he's got a note attached to him." Hermione acknowledged the fact.

"Yeah he also has a hurt wing." Ron frowned.

"What does the letter say?" Harry asked Hermione who was reading it quietly to herself.

"Oh my god!" She screamed.
