Secrets

Chapter Two

Hermione Granger glanced casually at Harry Potter, her boyfriend since the summer. He had been so off ever since school started last month - talking to here rarely and spending enormous amounts of time doing his homework, or so he claimed that's what he had been doing in his room. Her eyes lingered on his lightning scar, and drifted down to his emerald green eyes, looking for any clue of the solution to his odd behavior and finding none. He licked his lips suddenly, and Hermione looked in the direction he was looking. All she saw was Dolores Umbridge bending over to pick up a fallen eraser. Hermione double checked to make sure that Harry was, indeed, staring at Umbridge to fervently. It could be he was looking at that pretty Ravenclaw over to Umbridges left, but Hermione was able to ex that one out because Harry's eyes followed Umbridges' every move. Hermione doubted that Harry could even answer a simple question correctly, he looked so enthralled. She decided to test her theory, and leaned over.

"Harry, do you think boggarts are cool?" she asked, watching his every move.

Harry blinked, but other than that, she saw no other suspicious movements. "Yeah," he murmured. "Yeah - I love croissants too."

Hermione's suspicions were confirmed - Harry was definitely hiding something, and she didn't like the looks of it.

A:N:Hiya, guys and gals. Charlie here, again, with a new co-writer (only for this story) who wishes to remain anonymous until further notice. I hope you enjoy this chapter, sorry it is so short, but I am rushing to finish a big term paper and just wanted to get my ideas out quickly. Possible editing in the future - very probable, but not certain. Later dolls!

Love,

Charlie kiss
