"Wait. I heard something. I think it came from the girl's dorm. Wanna check?"

"Whatever, but we can't get in there"

I went back to the dorm and got into bed ad fast as I could. There was nobody else in the dorm, but still I pretended to be sleeping, in case Ron would send Lavender to check what had happened.

Chapter 5 – Love is in the air

"Maybe it was Crookshaks" I heard Harry's voice saying.

"Yeah, maybe…" Ron agreed.

When I realised I was safe, I got out of bed and put on my pyjamas.

In the next morning, I woke up at five o'clock and went to the boy's dorm to wake Harry up.

"Harry! Harry! Wake up!" I whispered.

"Whatdoyouwant?"

"Come with me" I whispered again.

And he got up, silently. I took him to the common room, where we could talk with privacy.

"Harry, I need to talk to you about Ron." I said.

"What? You finally admit you're in love with him?"

"Haha, very funny. Look, did Ron tell you what happened?" I asked.

"When?"

"Duh! Did he tell you why he was avoiding me?"

"Ahh. No, he said he would never talk to you again"

"What?"

"I told him it was stupid, but you know him. He just doesn't care!" Harry said, showing to be sleepy. "Can I go to bed now?"

"No! You're going to have a quick shower and we're going to find out why Malfoy jinxed Ron" I said.

"Ron told me. Malfoy insulted him and you know Ron…he punched him, so Malfoy decided to jinx him. Done. Can I go to bed now?"

"Come on, Harry! You must get Ron to talk to me!" I told Harry "Ok, go to sleep, but promise me that after you wake up, you'll talk to Ron!"

"I will…" Harry said and went back to the boy's dorm again.

I went for a walk in the grounds and I found Seamus near the black lake.

"Seamus? What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Couldn't sleep. Came to watch sunrise" he answered me.

"Oh, do you mind if I stay here too?"

"Not at all…"

I smiled and sit next to him. The sun was starting to rise already and I felt Seamus's hand holding mine.

"Hum…Seamus? I don't know if we should be here before…" but before I could finish, Seamus was kissing me. I pushed him and said "Seamus! What do you think you're doing?"

"Well, I just thought, with sunrise, we're here, alone, it would be perfect!" Seamus seemed to be really in the thing.

"Oh, Seamus. That's really romantic, but…I never meant to have anything with you…I'm sorry!" I explained him.

"Oh…" he said, disappointed "Oh, ok…"

I looked at my watch. "Oh, it's six o'clock already. The Library's about to open!"

"So…I guess, see you later, right?" Seamus said.

"Yeah…See you later!"

I found Neville in the Library.

"Neville! What are you doing here so early?" it sounded like everybody was in the mood to wake up early.

"Well, I thought maybe I would find you here and you could help me with Herbology!" Neville said.

"Herbology? But Neville, you love that subject!"

"Yeah, but I'm having some problems with these new plants we're studying" Neville lied. I could see it in his face. He was the worst liar in the world.

"Neville, tell the truth!" I told him.

"Ok…you got me. I was waiting for you because I need help with…with a girl" as Neville said this, he blushed.

"Neville…I'm not the best person to help you with girls. Really, you should ask Parvati or Lavender" I told him.

"But I don't feel comfortable with them. They always think I'm some sort of a freak who could never date anyone." He explained to me.

"Oh. Well, why don't you ask for Ginny's help? She could definitely help you and I'm sure she wouldn't act like a jerk" I advised him.

"The thing is…Ginny is the girl! I couldn't ask for her help!"

"Oh my gosh! Ginny, as in, Ginny Weasley?" I asked him, just to make sure.

"Yeah. What's the big deal about it?" Neville asked me.

"Er…nothing. I guess." I answered him.

"So, will you help me?"

"Err…sure, Neville!"

And I couldn't study at all, because Neville wouldn't stop talking about how wonderfully her hair felt on her face when she was reading, or studying.

"…and those eyes! You see, when I'm with her, I'm different! Without her, I'm a sad person…" Neville wouldn't stop.

"Oh, look at the time! It's almost eight o'clock!" I said Neville gave me a chance to talk "We better hurry, otherwise we'll miss classes!"

Neville nodded and followed me to the dungeons for double potions.

"Hey, Hermione" I heard Harry's voice in the middle of the class.

"What?"

"Look at your book"

I looked at my book and I almost screamed: I had drawn little hearts everywhere. And that's not all.

«Mrs. Weasley

Mrs. Hermione Weasley

Mrs. Ronald Weasley»

Oh my gosh! I was crazy!

"Yeah, right. Not in love!" he whispered.

I hate Harry James Potter! I absolutely do!

Later, at lunch time, a new ball was announced.

«"Love is in the air"

Saturday night

Begins at 7 p.m.

Only come if you have a date!»

Oh my gosh! Everyone's out to get me! They want me to realise I'm in love with Ron.

Wait, I already did.

a/N: Now, it's sort of big, right? In the next one, Hermione will see big problems in front of her. Who will be her date? Ron? Seamus? Review please!
