Harry quietly and slowly slipped on his old worn out nike's when Hermione slipped into the room.
"Are you alright, Harry? You're taking quite some time to head downstairs."
Harry looked up at Hermione and tried to fake a smile. "I'm fine, just a bit drowsy is all." He lied.
Hermione raised an eyebrow at Harry's pale complexion. "Are you sure? You look a bit pale if you ask me."
"Well I didn't ask you, now did I?" Harry snapped at her. Hermione recoiled at the sudden retort.
"Sorry for being concerned!" Hermione scowled and stepped out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
"Hermione, I'm sorr-" Too late.
Hermione stormed down the stairs with a glare in her eyes. Ron was coming up the stairs when his face met hers.
"Oh, I was just heading up there to see what's taking him so long. The letters from Hogwarts have arrived…and…" Ron trailed off as he noticed that Hermione strode by him without a glance.
"Umm, ok…" Ron mumbled. He climbed the stairs and met the door to Harry's and his room.
"Hey, mate what's wrong with Hermione? What did you do to her this time?" Ron teased. Harry was standing at his trunk ruffling through his belongings.
"How am I supposed to know? She's a natural born bitch, too concerned about other people. Why don't you go ask her yourself?" Harry said as he snapped his trunk shut. "Where in bloody hell did I place my wand?" Harry muttered in frustration. Harry's eyes landed on his night table where his wand lay. "There it is."
Ron watched with uncertainty. Should he retort for insulting Hermione or should he side with his best mate.
"Umm," Ron managed to say. "The Hogwarts letter hav-"
Harry swept past Ron and snatched the envelope he held in his hand. "Thank you, lets go."
Harry stepped out of the room leaving Ron with an anger building up inside.
"Mind explaining to me why you're in such a fit, eh?" Ron said as he strode down the stairs with Harry.
Harry shrugged. "Hormones?"
Harry wasn't trying to be a bitch he was just being a bitch.
"Hormones? Hormones?" Ron repeated.
"H,o,r,m,o,n,e,s," Harry spelled it out. "Easier to comprehend now?"
The two had reached the bottom of the stairs and entered the kitchen. Harry avoided Hermione's glares as he made his way to a seat. Ron sat next to him and stared with a glare as well.
"Good morning, Harry. How did you sleep?" asked Mrs. Weasley. Harry nodded not giving an exact response. Ron and Hermione switched looks and nodded in agreement.
Another dream, were their thoughts.
Breakfast was served before Harry had come downstairs. So no breakfast for him.
The Weasley's, Harry and Hermione spent most of the day in Diagon Alley. While Hermione avoided Harry as best as possible Ron was trying hard not yell at Harry for his inconsiderate behavior.
"Ron, will you just shut up?" Harry glared as Ron stopped his rambling about something or another. Ron stopped in his tracks and turned his head slightly to stare into Harry's.
"You are telling me to shut up?" Ron blurted. All of the costumers in Flourish and Blotts quieted before returning to their shopping. "How dare you Harry Potter! I should be the one telling you to shut up, and shove the attitude you seemed to wake up with this morning up your arse! But no, Harry. I haven't done so. Why? Well because you're my friend." Ron ended with a hiss. "But you are really crossing the line by trying to shut me up."
Ron turned and walked out of the store and stormed down the street. Hermione passed by Harry and glared. "Did you drive him off too?"
Harry turned a flush of red and ran after his friend. He came to a stop when he found Hermione and Ron standing in front of Olivanders.
"Ron?" Harry approached carefully. Ron looked up and shot a cold stare at Harry.
"Piss off, Harry!" he hissed.
"Ron, mate, I'm sorry. It is just," Harry was unsure if he should tell them about his dream and then what he saw in the mirror. "I can't tell you what is happening. It's too much for either of you to handle. I'm really sorry about being an arse all day to the both of you," Harry said. But who wouldn't after waking up with such a dream as mine? Harry thought. Harry smiled.
Hermione stepped forward. "Harry. You weren't an arse. You were an inconsiderate little bitch with no regard towards our feelings!" Hermione spat with a reddened face. Harry looked away and sighed.
"I'm sorry…"
"You're keeping us in the dark here, mate," came Ron's voice from behind Hermione. Harry looked up.
"I can't tell you."
"It can't be worse than anything that has to do with Voldemort," Hermione stated, the she gasped. "Is it about Voldemort?"
Harry shook his head. "No. Not about Voldemort."
"Then what is it?" asked Ron as he stood and headed towards Harry. "What kind of dream did you have this time?"
Harry's eyes shot up to stare into Ron's. "I-it wasn't a d-dream…" Harry stuttered. Ron raised an eyebrow.
"Why can't we know?" Hermione asked. Harry stepped back.
"Because you just can't, ok?" Harry snapped. I'm afraid I'll lose you both if you see me as I saw myself in that mirror. I can't lose you two. These words were never said. Harry looked up at his friends.
"We've never kept secrets from each other, mate…" Ron whispered towards Harry. "Why start now?"
Harry looked away and stared at the window to Olivanders. His reflection was barely seen. But that was good. His reflection was the same as this morning. Wings could be seen and a pair of eerie eyes stared back at him. Harry closed his eyes and stepped back from his friends. Because, some secrets are best kept in the dark…
Authors Note: It was very short, I know. And I know in the first chapter I said I wouldn't post new chapters unless I got enough reviews. But then I started to think, 'well, maybe you should add more chapters that way when people read it they can have more to read to actually see if their attracted to the story or not." So here we are. Heh. Well anyway. Next chapter will be as soon as possible. Oh and Concubine99 thank you for your review. ).
