Chapter Ten

Harry lay awake , waiting for Ron to wake up. He felt that he had to explain what had happened last night. Well, what almost had happened. Why did Ron have to interrupt ? He asked himself. He felt a little angry like he did last year. He cleared his mind and relaxed. He felt rather pleased with himself for learning Occlumency over the summer. He found that it wasn't that difficult since Snape had drilled it into his head the previous year. He finally understood why he hadn't been able to do it before. It was because of the hatred that he had felt for Snape. He realized that he could not dwell on old hatreds. He understood that in the end it would only destroy him, just like it did Voldemort.

Rons snoring finally ceased only when everyone else had left the dorm room. It seemed that a hundred elephants couldn't wake him, but if it got too quiet, he would wakeup. Sure enough Ron sat up in his bed. Upon opening his bed curtains he saw Harry. His relaxed face turned as red as his hair. He got up without saying a word and started getting dressed.

" Ron, we should talk." Ron looked at him ,then turned his back. " Ron, come on. Just look at me. Please. I have to explain about last night."

Ron rounded on the approaching Harry with fury in his eyes. " Explain what? Explain how you betrayed me?" Harry opened his mouth to say something, but Ron cut him off. " You knew I liked her. I've liked her for ages, you knew,YOU KNEW!" Ron swung his fist around and made contact with the unsuspecting Harry's face. Harry fell to the floor. Ron strode to the door and flung it opened. Harry got up and followed behind him towards the common room.

Hermione was sitting on a chair by the unlit fireplace. Ron walked right by her and out the passage way. Harry came in a split second later.

"Harry, what's going on?" She said looking at his face. " Oh my goodness. What happened to your lip? Your bleeding all over the place, come here." she drug him into the same chair she had just risen from. " Did Ron do this Harry?"he nodded as she cleaned the cut. " You should really go see Madam Pomfrey." He shook his head " I don't need to see her for this, you did a very nice job on it. I only go to her with really bad injuries, like missing bones." He smiled at her. She blushed crimson.

" Shouldn't we talk about last night?" She asked nervously.

" Alright"

" What did happen last night, Harry?"

"You were there Hermione, you should know." he said while laughing.

She smiled at his laughing face. It made her happy to know that he was happy "Yes I was there too, but I don't want to get the wrong impression. Was, was you going to kiss me?"

He thought her unsureness about this made her look even more cute, if that was possible. "Why, Miss Granger, I do declare. I thought you weren't ever going to catch on." he said in a way that would have made the Weasley twins laugh their heads off.

" I... don't really know what to say."

" Say yes."

" But you didn't ask me anything Harry."

" Oh, will you go to Hogsmeade with me?"

She merely nodded her answer.

"What should we do about Ron?"

Let's give him some space. At least for a while."

He was inclined to agree with her. He suddenly remembered what he had agreed to last night in Dumbledore's office.

" There's something else you should know. I've joined the Order." She stared at him horror struck . " I will have to fight, no matter what. I'd rather not,but when I do ,I need people by my side."

"I'll be by your side as well Harry."

" I don't want you hurt Hermione, I couldn't stand if something bad happened to you."

" Likewise, Harry. But I will be by your side, even if I have to fight every Order member to do it."

"You're very stubborn, do you know that?"

" Yes, I do" she jumped to her feet " Oh no! We're going to be late for breakfast."

When they got to the Great Hall, McGonagall was already passing out their class schedules . " Here you are Miss Granger, Mr. Potter. I'm glad you've decided to join us for breakfast." she said giving them their schedules and walking away. They sat down next to Ron. He got up and scooted down to the other end of the table.

Harry looked down at his schedule.

The test will be held on the Quidditch pitch at 11:30 in the morning. The tester will be Mr. Archie Fisk

Harry finished and looked to Hermione. She had her head in her hands. Her bushy hair obscured her face. Her schedule lay on her empty plate.

" Hermione, what's wrong?"

She raised her head slowly and looked towards Harry. " Did you read the bottom? The part about the Strategic Broom lessons?"

" Yeah, so? What about it?" Then it hit him. " You're scared you'll end up in the Remedial class, aren't you?"She nodded her head grimly. " Don't worry about it, I'll teach you everything I know. I even have you a very reliable broom you can have."

" What are you saying Harry?"

" I didn't tell you? It must have slipped my mind. I bought a Firebolt Express when I was in Diagon Alley. So now you can have my Firebolt. You will make the Advanced class I promise" Hermione flung herself onto Harry, not even caring that the entire school saw her. " Thank you." she whispered into his ear. "Thank you."
