A/N As I am typing this there is only 4 days left in the summer before we go back to school. I am GOING TO CRY! I mean don't get me wrong, I love school (With the exception of Latin (Mumbles to self- Stupid Dead Language, why the hell did i take it again? oh yeah Amy was, Duh!) but I hate getting up at 5:30 every morning. And I have writers block.
Hermione groaned as she shifted slightly and opened her eyes. It was dark in the room. It had a reddish tint due to the closed curtains
After falling asleep again, her dreams were peaceful. And after that first one, she needed a laugh.
She quickly slipped from her bed and opened the curtains wide.
"Hermione!" groaned the girls in unison
Hermione laughed aloud before turning to face the room. She always rose before anyone in the dormitory and lately just wanted to piss someone off. Though the reason escaped her. She threw the window open and let the cold November breeze flow in.
"Granger, I am seriously going to kick your ass if you don't close that window!" shouted a voice from underneath a pile of blankets. Hermione laughed at Parvati.
"Get-" said Hermione pulling all the covers off of all of them one by one. "Up!"
Parvati sat up and looked at Hermione. "Get-"she paused and grabbed her covers again. "Lost!"
There was a slight wave of giggles. Hermione rolled her eyes and turned back to her bed. She slipped her night clothes off quickly and pulled on a pair of jeans, a bra, a light pink shirt and a heavy sweater. Then she threw her robes over her arms and slipped her feet into her sneakers and stomped out of the room, making the girls groan more, then slammed the door, then laughed.
Ron was the only one up at the time. He was sitting in front of the dead fire, his head leaning on his hand and his pointer finger playing with his lower lip a little. He seemed to be in great concentration.
"Morning Ron!" said Hermione Cheerily. She had decided to forget about the dream. The only reason I am having these dreams is because I am under stress. I mean come on.... Homework, patrol duty and Quidditch. See That is a logical explanation She decided.
Ron snapped out of it for a moment long enough to look at her quickly and say a quick "Morning." Before dropping back into deep thought.
"What are you thinking?" she asked curling up in the chair across from him.
"Nothing Important." He said looking up. For the first time he thought about Hermione. I don't know if I can count how many times Hermione has saved me or Harry or both of us. With the Devil's snare, the Alohamora charm with that run-in with filch, her research for the voices Harry was hearing, the truth about the basilisk, all those spells that she looked up to help Harry in the tri-wizard tournament, her in-genius when they tried to defeat V-voldemort in the Ministry. That put Fudge right. Not to mention all the notes she let us copy, we surly wouldn't pass our year if we didn't. In all she is a pretty wicked witch. Why am I only noticing this now? "Want to go get some breakfast?" he asked standing up
"Sounds good." She stood up and turned at a sound of shuffled feet behind her. Harry was coming, sleepy eyed, down the stairs.
"Morning." He yawned.
"Morning." Said Hermione and Ron at the same time.
"Want to go get some breakfast?" asked Hermione.
"Sure." Said Harry. Ron and Harry flanked her on either side.
They walked slowly down to the great hall. Hermione pulled her robes over her head and pulled it close around her. It was cold in the hall ways. Instinctively they huddled closer together.
It was then Hermione realized that she was lucky to have loyal friends like Harry and Ron. And they were not her friends because she was pretty, she knew she wasn't, they were her friend because they wanted to be.
"Hey!" shouted a voice from down the hall. Hermione quickly turned with Harry and Ron turning more slowly. "Wait for me!"
Ginny came running quickly down the hall the stopped at Harry's side, slightly out of breath. "Where ever your going can I come to?"
"Sure Ginny." Said Hermione stepping over to Ginny. She had to tell this to at least one person. "Go ahead, I need to talk to Ginny." With out waiting for an answer Hermione pulled her towards the 2nd floor girls bathroom. Moaning Myrtle was just as bad as ever but that meant privacy. Unless Peeves was in there.
Hermione quickly scanned the room before taking a seat on one of the sinks. Ginny leaned up against the wall.
Hermione explained the tale.
"What!?" shouted Ginny before pacing. "So I have this right. You kissed, several times, that arrogant Slytherin!"
"Yeah."
"Wow." Was all she said.
"You can't tell this to anyone!" said Hermione
"I won't."
"You promise?!"
"Yes Hermione, I promise."
"Thank you." She said sliding off of the sink and turning a quick turn.
"Hermione?" asked Ginny suddenly
"Huh?" Hermione stopped turning to look at her friend
"Ok you can't, under pain of death, Tell this to Ron." She said quietly.
"Uh ok, I promise."
"I- Well- I mean- "She then whispered something almost inaudible.
"What?" said Hermione looking at her friend.
"I'm going out with Harry." She said finally looking up.
Hermione's jaw dropped.
A/N and that is it for chapter 16. I know it is kind of a boring chapter but I am suffering from severe writers block and it won't go away. Ok, I know Hermione acts kinda childish in the dorm, but that is something I would do... seriously. Also, I am noting I am making Hermione seem like radiantly beautiful. But I know the books describe her as not beautiful, but I personally, think she would be at least somewhat attractive. Like Me! Jk. Like one of my friends said. " The books say that when she got dresses up and all in the 4th book for the ball, people didn't even recognize her, so she could be radiant when she tried, but when she didn't, she is just average pretty. "Yeah I am not going to add the whole IM because that would take up like 50 sheets of paper and that is way to much!
I also went back and re-read the previous chapters, and realized something. Other then a few bits from Draco's mind, this story is almost entirely feminine and it would be really weird read from a male's mind! lol
On another note, I am Happy, along with some of my faithful reviewers ( All of my so called faithful reviewers that didn't review the previous chapter, deserve to have their heads cut off with my chainsaw! Jk) I got a couple of new reviews from new reviewers, and I am so happy! Hehe.
This chapter is dedicated to...
Li-chan- I am glad you liked my story. I know I just LOVE the dreams/visions. Hahaha Trelawney!
SwTnDrEaMyPnAy03- I hate bad dreams 2. But not only when there is something important going on the next day. With my busy schedual, with the school term starting soon, I am almost always busy. It is just the fact I hate bad dreams PERIOD! Have fun in disneyland, Lucky, i haven't been. Of course i do live on the east coast and the only amusment parks I have been to, are Hershey Park in Hershey Penn. and Kings Dominon in Virginia.
A good explanation for that, is remember he is refering to Hermione as a "Challenge" and thinks his job would be easier if he didn't have so much "Ice" to melt. The ice is like build up from the last 6 or 7 years, when he would call her mud-blood or beaver or did something horrible to her (Hence trying to turn Harry into a beaver, when the spell missed and hit Hermione) And I have always concidered Draco completly Lazy so he doesn't want to work.
ShimmeringEvil- Ah one of my Loyal Reviewers. hehe. I think it is great that you think my chapter is great because i personally think it sucked but you know i put my work through to much pressure.
Wzrdofozfan- I like the dream part too. Thank you for loving it to, you faithful reviewer.
Stormy Phoenix- Duh! What type of romance shipper would i be if i didn't add at least one more romance story in here! he he. Freaky Dream wasn't it. Semi Faithful reviewer!
