There were may events that happened that effected so many things. For one Harry and Hermione noticed that Ron and Ginny were on their shoulders nagging them and trying not to be obvious about it. They were though and it was getting harder and harder for them not to tell them straight forward to just buzz of and forget about the way that they had been acting so far especially in DADA.

"Harry when are you going to reorganize the Quidditch team?" Hermione asked in their common room.

"I don't know sometime this week…why?" Harry asked turning away from his homework essay.

"Just wondering when you were starting it up again. The rest of the houses already have their teams together and we need our team together because I want to crush those other houses."

"Okay…I'll get it together tomorrow I just need to put up a flyer."

"I already have one." Hermione said. Getting it from behind her back and running through the door that connected to the Gryffindor common room. She ran to the bulletin board and put it up with sticky tack. Then she ran and resumed her spot doing homework

"There." Hermione said out of breath.

"What's with you lately."

"I love Quidditch now." Hermione said concentrating on her homework.

"Yeah and why is that?"

"Well it's where you like to be, and you said that it's where you feel the most free."

"Well up in the air and with you." Harry said correcting her.

"Thanks but anyway you should get ready for practicing it's tomorrow at lunch."

"At lunch, are you crazy there'll be no way I'll be out there. That's my eating time. Unlike Ron I don't eat constantly but there's a time where I need to eat."

"Hey don't worry I'll be there to watch you, and I'll be bringing food so you won't starve. I'll be there to root you on." Harry leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

"Thanks. Tomorrow won't be so bad after all." They finished their assignments and Hermione spoke up.

"Hey you know how much I've been in the library a lot lately right?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah." Harry answered.

"Well I've been researching on the horcruxes, how to destroy them, and what Voldemort has hidden them in. There's a complete list for you to look over later so you can see what I've come up with. Basically it says that we still have to find that Slytherin locket, Hufflepuff cup, some Gryffindor's shield, Ravenclaw's pensieve, and Nagini."

"Where did you find all this information?" Harry asked.

"I looked it up in Hogwarts A History significant items of each house. Then I asked around some teachers their whereabouts and when they told me they'd been missing I knew it was an horcux."

"I don't know this seems kind of guessy to me but I trust you."

"This whole job is guessy but I think it will work for us in the end."

"Okay let's finish everyone's assignments and then we'll go to class in the morning. Just stop being nervous."

"I'm not nervous, okay I am but it's not that bad." Harry said.

"Keep telling yourself that and maybe you'll believe it but I sure as hell won't." Hermione gathered up her stuff and put it back in her room.

"You coming." Hermione asked from atop the stairs.

"Yeah one second."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"What do we have today?" Ron asked Hermione attempting at getting her to talk.

"I'm not telling you. I only tell people who are my friends and actually know when to but out."

"But Hermione."

"Go look at your schedule you actually get one you know it would help if you actually read it. You know that if you actually read it that it would help a lot. Remember when I told you in the summer when you asked me out and I turned you down and you still kissed me to call me when you grow a brain."

"Yeah."

"You still haven't done it. When I see you actually grow up for myself I'll talk to you."

Hermione walked off hair flowing behind her to charms class. When Harry got there he dumped the books that she had left at breakfast in front of her.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

"Hey what do you have today." Harry asked.

"I have Arithmancy while you have free period." Hermione answered.

"Are you the only one that doesn't have a free period?" Harry asked.

"No, I hear Neville doesn't have one either he goes to History of Magic. Why? I have no idea I mean he slept in class with the rest of you. There's no NEWT class for it and then there's the fact that there's no point in it at all. Even though I used to think so."

"You have a point there… I can't believe he's willing to go into a subject that no one else is bothering to teach."

When everyone was in the class and Professor Flitwick walked in everyone was silent they wanted to learn whatever he had to teach them. They had heard from the rest of the classes that it was cool.

"I will spare you all the lecture that the rest of your teachers have undoubtedly already given you. Just do the best you can in this class and you'll succeed. We will basically figure out how to enchant objects and to move them nothing special." Then he made the objects on his desk dance around they all fell into the box unceremoniously. "You should know that some of these concepts are used in today's household spells for those of you young lady's that find yourself not leaning towards any career and towards some type of house witch type thing."

There was plenty of excitement in this class for some reason. Most of it just the buzz of learning something that would come in use in the future. Everything they learned there would it just seemed greater coming from Professor Flitwick.

They were headed over to the pitch while the rest of those who wanted to try out for the Quidditch positions. He didn't see Hermione head over so he assumed that she would be joining later.

They sat down in the stands as Harry gave instructions. First he said that no first years were allowed to play the house teams and about half of them left. The other's he started to separate into the vacant sections of the Quidditch team: chaser, keeper, beater. After that he either automatically rejected them based on their requirements or placed them somewhere else with the other people that fit more of their body type. He heard a whistle in the distance and a yell of: Food!

Everyone scrambled off in the direction of food since they were hungry Harry catching up behind them and caught sight of Hermione and Winky setting out the food.

"Hey I thought you meant picnic basket not a full on feast."

"Well I realized something I can't have you all starving what if you drop of your broom in the middle of practice. Plus I get extra cooking practice Winky is also teaching me"

"Yeah but now my people won't be able to concentrate. Can you please get rid of it?"

"Fine but just so you know I put a lot of work into it." Hermione said.

"I appreciate this and thanks for all your help." Harry told her before she started giving instructions.

"Winky I'm sorry you had to do all of this I will still give you the money I promised."

"I's no want for your money miss."

"Okay then we'll compromise later."

"Now everybody else grab something you want off of this table before it goes." Hermione told the rest of the Quidditch team candidates. They picked up their food of the table and moved towards the field. Hermione handed him a sandwich.

"If I get no players this time I blame you."

"You'll get em' trust me." With that she sat in the stands watching as the seeker (Harry), chasers, beaters, and keepers played a mock Quidditch game. Hermione was laughing at the people that were obviously terrible. She knew automatically that this was not their calling. The rest of them that were somewhat good she applauded. Then she saw something on the field that had her worried. The beater had clubbed a bludger over into the direction of Harry. Hermione wasn't sure but she wasn't about to take any chances.

"Harry get off the field." Hermione yelled but it was too late. He turned his head in time to see the bludger coming but not soon enough to avoid it. The bludger hit Harry in the face knocking him down into the sand bottom of the pitch.

"Harry." Hermione screamed running down to the pitch and knocking everyone that had come down from the air out of the way. She leaned down towards him muttering some spells but it didn't revive him. His head hung limp in her hands while she was trying to get him to breathe again.

"We'll finish this another day but for now the beater who threw that is no longer welcome into the team." They all shuffled out as Hermione levitated him back into the castle towards the hospital wing. There were gasps along the way as Hermione sent them up levels but she didn't pay attention her concentration was on getting him up to Madam Pomfrey. As she was already attending to another students minor scrapes. Hermione brought him in and Madam Pomfrey gasped.

"Children in Hogwarts these days as Heads I would figure them to have common sense. One of them can't tell the difference of when you need to come to the hospital wing. One gets out and then a week later the other one comes in. This is madness I…"

"Madam Pomfrey Harry is seriously hurt can you please help him?" her voice shaking as well as her body.

"What happened..oh." she said running over seeing Harry's mangled body in her arms.

"Well he was outside doing Quidditch tryouts and there was a student who practically aimed a bludger at him and it…hit his head…and he fell and now he won't wake up."Hermione stuttered near tears as Madam Pomfrey put him in the bed.

"You should have summoned me from the pitch." Madam Pomfrey said in a grave voice. "You shouldn't move someone who's suffered a head injury from the place. It might might deter their health even more. Besides that it seems that he's cracked his skull and a piece of that has lodged in his brain."

"Can you do anything?" Hermione asked wide eyed.

"We can attempt a 'reparo' but even then he will be in a coma for who knows how long. Do you want me to do it?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

"Of course I want you to do it." She aimed the spell with a couple of other spells to stop the internal bleeding.

"So how do you expect he will be able to recover?" Hermione asked.

"Well it will be tough but if anyone could bounce back from this it's Harry. It might take a while but he has a good chance of making it through. You should go back to your classes they started a few minutes ago."

"I don't know I'll just say goodbye to Harry real quick." Hermione said walking over.

"Harry, I hope that you can hear me. I just want you to get better on your own terms not anyone else's. Not because of my need for you or anyone's just when your ready to come back. Whenever that is I'll be waiting for you with open arms, and so will everyone else." With that Hermione kissed him on the cheek and walked away to her class. In her mind everything faded and it was just her walking down this pathway to wherever it lead to.

'Sure I know where I'm going but do I really know what I'm getting into. I walk through that door and I know I am but do I know what's really behind it.'

She walked through the open door to Potions, handed the note to Professor Rockwell and sat down. It was quite robotic as she was lost in her own thoughts. As her thoughts were wound up she started thinking.

'Wait I knew what I was getting into getting married. I knew and know now how things are with me and Harry I love him with all my heart. There's just so much stuff lying with it guilt and then angst with what's with this war. When will it all end and then there's the end that concerns him in the hospital wing and that's nothing to do with the dark lord he got hurt just by another student and there's nothing she could do about it…."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Everyone that saw Hermione come in could tell she was a wreck. They all knew she cared nothing about personal appearances but she just wasn't herself just by looking at her. She walked down to her seat after giving the teacher the note and sat down in her seat not making a sound just staring down at her hands not bothering to take her usual two feet of notes per class.

"Hermione?" Neville poked her trying to see if she was alright.

"…and I may never see him again." Hermione muttered before turning to Neville and sobbing in his shoulder.

A/N: Well this is where I leave you today. After a suggestion that I pick up on some action I agreed with this person so next chapter I will put in more action or as she suggested more horcruxy type stuff. Do realize though that I didn't post this under Action/Adventure so just get that. Thanks to all of you who review again. Also to that person who first inspired me to write this fic whoever you are.
