Hello, this is the author formally known as Hurt Deep Inside. My mum found my account, and made me change my name, so I'm now known as HPfanatic12! I'd like to apologize once again for not updating in so long. I went on vacation, and then lost my floppy disk, but I'm back now, so don't hate me!

I'm not going up, Hermione thought stubbornly. She sat down on the stairs leading up to the boy's dormitory, not wanting to go any farther and risk embarrassment and heart break any longer. He doesn't want to see me, I shouldn't impose upon him. He doesn't want me to talk to me, I was mean to him, he wants to be with Cho and I should just let him! It makes no difference what I do; he'll never want to be with his bookworm of a best friend!
I should go and apologize though. I shouldn't have been so mad at him, it wasn't entirely his fault, I did tell him he should go. Sighing to herself, Hermione continued up the stairs, wondering if someone had added more stairs. The last step seemed to escape her, no matter how far she climbed, there was always another step waiting for her.
After what seemed like an eternity she reached level ground again, but she wasn't entirely sure if that's what she wanted. She had to apologize to Harry, but she didn't want to. She could very easily turn around and walk to her dorm and read a book.
She thought about how nice that would be as she extended her hand to Harry's door and knocked. It took all of her self control to not run away as she heard his footsteps coming towards the door, and it was all she could do not to scream and hide as she saw him look at her with his piercing emerald eyes.
"What do you want?" Harry asked rudely.
"To apologize," Hermione said, looking everywhere except for at Harry.
Harry sighed, "Come in." He stepped out of the way so Hermione could pass him. "What's your problem? You're never mad at me. You're frequently mad at Ron, and you don't seem like most of the girl's at the school, but you are hardly ever mad at me."
Hermione didn't answer him, she didn't want to admit to him that she was overly jealous of Cho Chang, but she didn't think it was fair to him to keep him in the dark. He was right, she wasn't ever mad at him because they got along so well. If she told him that she had a crush on him that would ruin everything.
"An answer would be nice," Harry said. "But if you don't want to tell me, I'll just guess." If Hermione had been looking at Harry she would have noticed that Harry was grinning at her. "So, let's see here…. Have you realized that the only reason you hang out with me is because you're friends with Ron, and now that he's gone, you don't want anything to do with me?"
"No! Harry I'm glad you're my best friend, I wouldn't ever want that to go away."
"Then it's because you feel that I am so famous that any time you're around me you feel as though the entire school is watching you, and you can't stand that."
"After being friends with you for over six years, I've made peace with the fact that I'll never have a year out of a spotlight."
"Then you think that Cho is a Death Eater and was planning on taking me to Hogsmeade to do me in. However, once we arrived she realized that there was too much attention on me, she couldn't do it."
"No, I think that she's an attention hog that is in love with the idea of being with the boy who lived. She doesn't like you at all, she likes what you represent. I can't stand people who do that! You're a great person, Harry, and the thought that she would try that makes me sick to my stomach! She's a narcissistic moron who doesn't deserve to be in your presence." Hermione finished her speech and Harry was speechless. He didn't know Hermione felt so strongly about the subject.
"You're jealous," Harry said after a long and awkward silence. "You wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me, but I went with Cho, you're jealous."
Hermione went pink, and walked out of the room, leaving Harry to think about everything that had just happened.
He couldn't believe that Hermione Granger, his best friend since first year, was resentful of the girl he took to Hogsmeade. Did she really like him?

I know the chapter's short, but I promise that I'll update sooner than last time. I'm suffering from writer's block, and can't seem to think of anything else to write. However, if you want to read another H/Hr fic, with a lot of humor, check out my other story 'Phone Calls, Sharpie Highs, and Lack of Sleep' I think it's a good story, but I wrote it.
