Neville sat alone at the breakfast table contemplating life. Neville was a chubby little boy who had a kind spirit and a rather large crush on a Miss Hermione Granger. Not that Neville would ever do anything about his crush, he was to shy. Besides what would a girl like her want to do with a boy like him? Neville was not the smartest boy in his year. He relied quite heavily on Hermione to get him out of trouble in most lessons. Neville sighed, with Harry Potter as her intended Hermione would never notice him, never.
Hermione Granger jumped out of bed excitedly. Yet another day at Hogwarts dawned, a day full of new lessons and new books to read. She looked in the mirror at her mass of messy hair. She attempted, lamely, to brush it. No matter what she did with her hair it always seemed to frizz out. She had once straightened it but it had taken so long that she had vowed never to do it again. Looking in the mirror Hermione began to wonder about her future. Now Hermione was a sensible girl and never normally thought about boys but she decided for once to let sensible Hermione rest and girly Hermione emerge. There wasn't long left until the inevitable fight between Harry and Voldermort. The fight that would decide who would live and how would die. But would Harry still want her after the fight. At the moment Harry and Hermione were best friends. However for quite some time Hermione's feelings towards Harry had been changing. She had even attempted to smarten herself up for him. Of course after she had done this she had realised how stupid she had been. All through potions Professor Snape had made comments about clowns and how that kind of make up was not appropriate for the classroom or anywhere else. Hermione had been so upset she had run straight to the girl's toilets and washed it off. The most annoying things was that both Harry and Ron had found it quite funny. Harry hadn't even noticed why she had done it. Well she would show him. Perhaps if she could go out with someone else Harry would get jealous. Yes that's what she would do she would find herself a boyfriend. This plan would after work. And then after defeating Voldermort they could get married perhaps have a few kids, a house in the country. Hermione shook her head, now she was being stupid.
Harry Potter and his friend Ron Weasley strolled down the corridors of Hogwarts. It was a Saturday and the sun was bright in the sky. Most other students were outside enjoying the sun but Harry and Ron had far more important things to do. They had three hours of potions homework to do and so were heading for the library. "I don't see why Hermione couldn't lend us her homework." Moaned Ron, it wasn't that Ron was lazy it was just that he didn't like doing homework. Especially homework set by Professor Snape as it was notably hard. "Because Ron Hermione is making another one of her points. You know what she's like. She thinks that rather than trying to defeat the evil forces of Voldermort and playing wizard's chess, we should be doing work." Harry looked out of the windows at the other students. They all looked like they were having so much fun. If only he'd done his homework before. Would it really have hurt Hermione to lend them her homework, just once? It was alright for her, she didn't mind staying inside reading a book when the sun was out. But Harry, on days like this he should be outside soaring around on his broomstick practising Quidditch. No Harry was angry with Hermione and next time he saw her he would tell her.
Ron on the other hand had found something new to amuse him. His brother, Fred and George, had sent him one of their new inventions. Their joke shop had been doing well so they were able to send Ron freebies. What Ron didn't know was that they were using him as a form of advertising. Once Ron had played with their inventions and other people saw them they would come in droves to the shop. The sweet they had sent Ron this time was a hair colour changing sweet. Who ever ate the sweet would have hair colour to match their mood. Ron was to be their first victim. The twins still weren't sure if the sweet would work properly but they were sure if it didn't that Ron would tell them. They had told Ron that the sweet would make him more attractive to women. Ron as gullible as he was still didn't quite believe this. His brothers had a nasty habit of playing tricks on him. Ron placed the sweet back in his pocket; he would save it for later. Anyway it wasn't like he needed it. Ron knew that if he wanted he could get any girl he wanted at Hogwarts.
Ron and Harry reached the library and were not surprised to see Hermione sat inside. What they were surprised to see was her sat holding hands with Neville. Poor Neville had the reddest face Harry had ever seen! He was however grinning from ear to ear staring at Hermione. Harry would have liked to say that Hermione looked as thrilled but there was something in her face that indicated she wasn't quite as happy. However this all changed when she saw Ron and Harry. Her face that had been slightly stone like when they walked in suddenly turned into a huge grin. She motioned to Harry and Ron to join her and Neville. Ron and Harry looked at each other shrugged their shoulders and walked over.
"Harry, Ron, Neville and I have something to tell you. We've started going out." Ron snorted with surprise and amusement. Hermione shot him a dirty look. "Have you got something you would like to say Ron?" Ron opened his mouth to speak but Harry kicked him. He yelped. Harry turned to Hermione and Neville and smiled. "Well about time. Me and Ron were beginning to worry that you two would never get together." This was not the reaction that Hermione had wanted. Harry was meant to be appalled and to declare his undying love for her, not congratulate her. More drastic action was needed. She leant over and kissed Neville full on the lips. Neville, who had not been expecting this, fell of his chair backwards. This made Ron and Harry burst out laughing. "You two out of my library now!" Came the screeching voice of the librarian. Ron and Harry got up, still not being able to control their fits of laughing. "We'll see you and Neville later Hermione. You two have a nice day." Hermione's face went bright red. This had not been how it was meant to turn out. Not like this at all.
