The Professor walked in, and all of the students started to laugh at his wardrobe. He was wearing a purple velvet dress robes, with a white t-shirt underneath and a muggle tie stuck to the top of his forehead. As soon as Draco saw him, he immediately said, "What is he, a poof?" (poof is a gay man).

The professor looked up to see who said that, and immediately noticed the blonde headed boy's feet upon his desk. "You, sir!" He said pointing at Draco, "Get your feet down from there, before I hex them, so you can not move them!" The entire class giggled, and then laughed even harder when they noticed the chalk was writing Draco's scolding from the Professor on the chalkboard. The Professor just thought they were all smiling at his excellent threat against the blonde headed boy. Susan Bones (is that her name?) raised her hand. He nodded, and she asked, "Professor, why is that, thing tied upon your head?"

Everyone in the class giggled. "Well, actually, I had to go to the grobery store to buy food, and I put this on, and I can't seem to get it off. The harder I pull on it, the tighter it gets."

"You mean the Grocery Store, that is where muggles buy there foods. I can get that tie off for you, if you would like. Why didn't you use magic to get it off?" Hermione said, without raising her hand, Draco's jaw dropped when she started to speak without being called upon.

"Oh, I didn't think of that." Draco started to laugh, but the rest of the class gave him evil eyes, so he decided to stop. He could be harassed a lot in this calls because he was then only Slytherin in the class. The professor said and then gave a had signal for her to come up, she removed the tie from his head, and sat back down.

After an hour of taking notes, the students were dismissed. Malfoy stood up, at the same time Hermione did, and let her walk past him. She didn't notice Malfoy's chivalry because she was determined to find Harry before Quidditch Try-Outs because her classes were over. Malfoy just muttered to himself as he walked behind her, "Well excuse me, I'm Miss Hermione Granger, and I'm a snotty know it all, and I don't say thank you when someone lets me through"

Hermione walked down a long hallway, and walked up the dozens of stair cases leading to the Divination Classroom, when she was about halfway there, she realized Harry dropped that class after he took his O.W.L.S. and turned around.

She was starting to give up hope and just looked at her feet walking on the white and black marble floor when she bumped into someone. She looked up, and it was Harry.

"Harry, I've been trying to find you all.." but she was cut of by Harry putting his pointer finger over her lips. Hermione grabbed her arm, to bring her to the side of the hallway.

"'Mione, I'm not sorry about earlier today, you may not like me as more then a friend, and that is fine, but I like you a lot, and I have since our fourth year. You're so beautiful, especially right now, smart, you care about the people around you, and I really like you for that." Harry said looking deep into Hermione's brown eyes.

"Harry, I do like you, but I'm not sure how I feel about us being together right now. Could you give me some time to think it over?"

After Hermione said she needed time to think about their relationship his eyes immediately drooped to the floor, and a look of sheer disappointment spread throughout the muscles of his face. "Ok, I understand." Harry wanted to be with her, no matter what, but he wasn't sure why Hermione had to think about being with him. Was there someone else she fancied. His eyes continued to stare at the marble flooring as he said, "Is there someone else? Is that why you need to think this over?"

Hermione started at the floor, because it was pointless to keep looking and talking to someone who wasn't even looking at her. "No, there is no one else."

Harry looked up at Hermione, hoping to make eye contact with her but she just starred at the floor. Harry took his right hand, and used his thumb and pointer finger to raise her chin so that he could look into her eyes. "Then why? Why can't we be together if there is no one else?" Harry didn't look as disappointed any more, but more confused.

Hermione suddenly came overcast with a saddened expression. "Harry, I just, we have such a good friendship, that I value very much, and…" but she was suddenly cut off with Harry's lips mashing passionately into hers. He slid his tongue into her mouth for a few seconds, and then pulled it out and sealed the kiss.

Harry grabbed Hermione by the shoulders, "I feel for you 'Mione, and I'll do anything to be with you. I'll give you some time to think about it." Harry then kissed her on the forehead, and then walked away. Hermione was left there in awe, she was shocked as to what happened she didn't even say goodbye to Harry. Harry walked away, looking back at her every few steps.

After their last class of the day, Lavender walked into the Gryffindor Common Room, and sat on the Maroon Couch next to the fire, and looked out the window. It was in the middle of fall, and Halloween was coming up, and most of the leaves have fallen from the Hogwarts School Ground's Trees. Night was falling, while the sky turned a beautiful shade of pink/orange. A few moments later, Ron walked in, and saw the side of Lavender's beautiful face. Ron sat down next to her and started to lightly kiss the side of her face. Then she looked up at him, with a look of seduction upon her face, "Do you want to go find an empty classroom?" Ron looked at her as she stood up, and followed her out of the Common Room.

Hermione walked into the Great Hall, and decided to sit away from Harry, because all she could do was think about their kiss, but she didn't want him to know that. Ginny was starring dreamingly at Professor Wood as he was walking to his position at the head table. Ginny let out a dreamy sigh, and Hermione just rolled her eyes. Hermione kept looking at Harry talking to Neville and Seamus, but every time he caught her eye starring at him she turned away. After the fifth time, Harry got up and walked around the table to where Hermione was sitting. He didn't sit next to her, but bent over to talk to her. He cupped the side of her face with his right hand, "Have you given it any thought" Harry said with nervousness in his voice. She looked longingly back at him, then a door slammed very loudly, and Malfoy walked in to the corner of the Great Hall, looked around for a seat to sit in, and then noticed Hermione and Harry. He walked over to where they were, but stayed 4 feet behind them.
