Chap.5- You Like Him
It was Wednesday and Hermione was as busy as ever. She moved from patient to patient without a single break all morning. Hermione was finishing up with her next patient before continuing to her next one.
"Mrs. Wadder, you are suffering from minor head pains. Here, I'm going to write you a prescription and you're all set to go." Hermione said smiling sweetly.
"Thanks, Dr. Granger." Hermione handed her the piece of paper and steered her out the door. She now stood in front of the door to her next patient. She reached up to retrieve the patient's file and read the name aloud.
"Harry Potter." She froze on the spot as the realization of who this name belonged to hit her. It was too late now. It was him. The annoying, ignorant and uncanny man was sitting in the patient's chair, eyeing the room with a wide grin. His eyes now finally found the spot where Hermione was standing where she was dreading the moment he would realize she was there. He jumped up quite excitedly.
"Hermione," He said loudly, "Or wait, I should call you Dr. Granger right?" he finished while once again looking down to her chest to eye her nametag. Hermione however, knew he was teasing her and just pushed him inside rather hastily and ruthlessly.
"Ow, that hurt. I'm the patient you know?" Harry said massaging his chest in a circular motion. Hermione just ignored him and move over to the doctor's chair knowing well that she had to keep it professional.
"So, what is it that's wrong?" Hermione asked, trying not to yell this time.
"Oh, my head hurts and right here…" Harry said as he started to place both his hands on his chest.
"Is that all Mr. Potter?" Hermione ask not looking up from her note pad.
"Well yes, I mean no. I also feel light headed and dizzy, but it only happens at certain times."
"And at what times would that be, may I ask." Hermione asked now looking up.
"Oh, it only occurs when I see this beautiful woman. I don't know what it is. My mind stops working and my heart skip beats. I find it hard not thinking of her, but when I start to, I can't stop. It's intoxicating." Harry said smiling. It was to his surprise that Hermione was also smiling. Rare, well to him it is. However, the beautiful moment was crushed when Hermione spoke.
"Well, then Mr. Potter" Hermione said after taking her gloves off, finished with giving him a basic check up. "In my professional opinion, I think you came to the wrong doctor. You need a therapist. Immediately." Hermione said smiling once more, "I can make some referrals."
"I do not." Harry said defensively.
"You seem fine to me then." Hermione replied, "Your heart is beating regularly, and to me, your mind is functioning since you can think of such ridiculous reasons to waste my time." Hermione said standing up. "I hope you won't squander my time like this again, I have many patients to attend to."
Harry stopped her before she could leave.
"Mr. Pot-"
"Call me Harry."
"Well Harry, I would appreciate if you would stop touching me. I hope you didn't start a habit out of it." Hermione said teasingly.
"Ah, well it's getting there" Harry replied letting her go and flashing the Potter smile.
"Well if you please, I'm a busy woman." Hermione said giving him his prescription, "Here you go, take this and it might help with your delusional thinking" Hermione said winking and walked away.
"But-" Harry started but couldn't finish since Hermione was gone. He found it odd that Hermione wasn't yelling at him anymore. 'Maybe it's my charming looks?' his mind told him. He looked at the prescription and a wide grin form on his face.

But that's wasn't all that was written on this little piece of paper. At the very bottom in very small written were a set of numbers and Harry knew he had pass.
(Back at Jily's)
"So how was the check up, Harry?" Ron asked as Harry walked through the front door.
"Perfectly fine," Harry said shrugging
"Has this doctor found a cure for you yet?" Ron asked, slapping Harry on the back.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Harry asked.
"I mean, that has she rejected you, so you can stop acting so arrogant" Ron said laughing.
"I'm not arrogant." Harry said, but Ron merely raised his eyebrow. "Ok fine. Maybe a little…FINE! I'm arrogant ok!" Harry finally said turning a bit scarlet. "But to answer your question Ron, she hasn't accepted me nor has she rejected me."
"Whoa… can someone do that? I always thought it's one or the other." Ron said looking puzzled.
Harry just laughed as he and his best mate sat and chatted the day away.
(Hermione's Office)
Hermione has zoned out and didn't notice what's going on or who's coming in and out of her office. Luna arrived a little after Harry left. Luna walked into Hermione's office to see that Hermione didn't realize she was there.
"Hermy!" Luna yelled to snap Hermione out of her own thoughts.
"Wha-what? Luna? When did you get here?" Hermione said quickly, surprised to see Luna there.
"Well missy, I was sitting here for a good five minutes before you finally snapped out of it." Luna said, taking a seat opposite of Hermione's. "What were you thinking anyways that got you so…out of it?" Luna finished
Hermione had then told Luna about the day's unexpected encounter. Luna didn't seem to be as surprise as she was, but it was Luna, she had done more outrageous things. Hermione also told Luna that she gave him her number, which seemed to make Luna crack up quite hard.
"You…what?" Luna said in between laughs.
"What? I gave him my number. I don't see anything wrong with that. Maybe we can stop yelling at each other and be friends of some sort. Hey, not to mention the discount on coffee." Hermione said. Luna looked at her amused.
"You seriously don't see anything wrong with it? And since when have you guys yelled at each other? To my knowledge, it's you who's been yelling, so I highly doubt the coffee discount. You scared the poor boy so much he can't look at another cup of coffee the same way again." Luna said laughing out right. "What about your Italian boyfriend then?"
"His name is Sean, Luna. And I don't believe this is going to affect our relationship. I'm just meeting new people and nothing more." Hermione replied.
"Yeah, hot ones. Someone who faked being ill so he could talk to you. It seems like he wants more then your friendship Hermione." Luna said winking.
"Get your mind out of the gutter Luna. I'm not going to give anyone se-"
"I wasn't talking about that, you smart ass. I swear for someone who is supposedly top of the line can be so clueless."
"Hey! First, thanks for calling me smart, but I'm not clueless you know."
"In the romance department you are."
"I am not"
"You are too"
"Are Not"
"Are too, how old are we now?" Luna said before putting a hand to shut Hermione up before this could go any further.
"Fine. If you're so smart about this, then tell me what I don't know." Hermione said challenging Luna to give her a good answer.
"He's trying to sweep you off your feet Hermione. He likes you. That's why he's doing all this. I don't think a guy who wants a short term fling would go through all these trouble after what you've done to him and his employee." Luna said, looking closely at Hermione for a reaction. When she didn't see anything she continued. "And by giving him your number you're leading him on and blind to the fact that you have a boyfriend. You're going to break the poor boy's heart," Luna finished.
"Since when have you been so insightful?" Hermione asked amused. "I can tell he likes me, but I always thought he was the type to pick anyone off the street for a one time thing. He looks like one doesn't he?" Hermione said smiling.
"I never knew you to be a person to judge appearances." Luna said, "Oh and tell me, why lead him on, if…" but Luna trailed off.
"What?" Hermione asked, scared at Luna's expression. It was strange.
"You like him." Luna said finally.
"I do not!" Hermione said rather loudly.
"You like him….you want to hug him…you want to hold him…" Luna started singing.
"Shut it Luna. I do not. I have a boyfriend remember." Hermione said trying to stop Luna from singing.
"You like him…you like him…you want to kiss him…" Luna continues as Hermione started to chase her around the office. "You like him…you want to hold him…you want kiss…"
"Kiss who?" a male's voice came and startle both the girls, causing them to stop midway.
Hermione was shocked so she stayed quiet as Luna muttered…
"You?"
