A/N Well, I put two chapters together for this one. Hopefully, this will fix the length problem. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
"Mr. Potter, could you please pay attention to the lesson?"
Hermione caught Harry's eye for a moment then he quickly turned around.
Had he been watching me the whole time or just happened to look over at that moment?
Her thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of a distant bell. She started heading towards Gryffindor Tower, but Terry stopped her.
"I've been meaning to ask you something, Hermione."
Harry sat alone in the Common Room left only with his thoughts. He heard someone enter through the portrait hole and was disappointed that it wasn't Hermione.
"What are you brooding about, Potter?" Ginny asked jokingly.
Before he could answer Hermione rushed into the Common Room out of breath. Her face was flushed and her hair was a bit more frizzy than usual.
She still looks beautiful...
He mentally shook himself. He shouldn't be thinking that way. Hermione was his friend.
Just my friend.
Hermione caught her breath and started whispering anxiously to Ginny. Harry heard the last bit.
"...and he asked me to the ball!"
"She belonged to someone else"
"Hermione, that's great!" Ginny exclaimed.
Everything thing seemed to be going so fast.
"I knew it was better to just forget about--"
Then it crashed to a stop.
When Ginny suddenly paused she knew he must be in the room.
Hermione looked around an saw Harry quietly in the corner. For a brief second she thought she saw a look of pain on Harry's face.
So what if he heard? It's not like he really cares.
Their eyes locked for a moment.
"I'm going up to the dorms. I'll tell you the rest later, Ginny."
Hermione quickly looked away and went up to the girls' dormitories.
Harry grimly thought back to something Hermione had once told him.
"You don't realize what you have until it's gone."
If only it weren't true.
A/N Well, the problem has been slightly fixed. You won't see much of a change until after the next few chapters, though. The next few are still a bit short even if they are combined. Sorry about that. I hope you liked it. Please review.
