Harry woke up rather uncomfortably as Ron had plunged himself onto his bed, drastically opening up the curtains letting the sun soak in and wake him.

"What's wrong with Hermione?" he sharply asked Harry.
"Nothing phisycally at least" he responded still yawning and rubbing his eyes.
"What do you mean? So there's something you can't see then? Is it right?" he said with wide eyes. "Do you think she's been hexed or jinxed or maybe cursed..?" he said letting out a loud gasp of horror as if he had seen a giant spider instead of Harry's face. Harry sat up and straightened himself before answering his friend.
"Well if you call love a kinx then maybe, sure." he said before simply walking into the bathroom and closing the door after him.

"WHAT? Meet me at breakfast" Ron shouted before heading down the stairs to the common room to see if Hermione were there, she wasn't. As he checked the clock he clearly realized it was time for breakfast indeed so he headed with fast steps towards the Great Hall. On his way he heard a pair of voices he thought he recognized, just around the corner ahead of him so he decided to sprint a bit to see who it was.
There he stood, Ronald Bilius Weasley, watching as Hermione giggled and blushed at some witty remark professor Lupin had said two seconds ago. He was paralyzed, since when was professor Lupin known for being witty and making girls blush? That one was Sirius for sure, not his friend/professor with a furry little problem... Then it struck him, it was Lupin Hermione liked or loved as Harry had said.

He slowly walked into the Great Hall, trying to mask his surprise and deceive under a quite blank face which cracked into a smile as soon as he saw Lavender chatting eagerly with his brothers.

"Morning everyone" he said before piling food on his plate. After some minutes of quiet eating arrived Harry.

"Hey, morning" he said as he seated down in front of Ron and Lavender. As Ron had done before Harry also piled food on his plate and started to eat and drunk a few sips of pumpkin juice before asking the obvious.
"Where's Hermione?" he asked a bit surprised she hadn't lunged herlsef beside him by then, she was always there before the boys. This time it wasn't Ron who answered nor explained what he had seen before but Lavender.
"She's sitting there, at the end of the table talking very eagerly with professor Lupin, actually some may think they like each other" she said pointing at the end of the table near the professor's table and giggling at the same time.
"Well that ain't true Lavender, they might just be talking about some book they've both read, you know they both are bookworms" Ron said smugly, looking disappointingly at Harry, who picked it up as a "we-need-to-talk-later-about-this". The three finished breakfast and left for their classes of the day.

Hermione left breakfast as if she were floating on clouds all the day, she knew it was wrong but it felt so good. Besides it was her turn to feel infatuated with someone, Harry and Ron have already and she didn't judge them for their taste.
As her free period approached she went outside to sit under a tree and read a book, just to free her mind of furry thoughts. She felt a shadowed above her head and as she lifted her gaze from her book she realized it was Ron, who she hadn't talked with in one day.

"Hey" she said, not sure of what to really say actually.
"Hey, I heard you weren't feeling so good yesterday, are you better now?" he asked as he sat down in front of his best friend.
"Yes, yes, actually there was no need to hurry to the Hospital Wing, but Harry dragged me there so I had no choice." she stated with a faint smile, trying to avoid the actual "problem" she was going through.
"Yeah, I heard, he told me what Madame Pomfrey had said" he said with a laugh " so, who is the fortunate one? Professor Lupin, maybe? I heard you giggling and blushing on your way to breakfast this morning" he said looking a tad amused at his remark.
"Well, that only means that you don't know how witty he can be as you clearly don't spend enough of your time talking to him except for excusing yourself for not having done the essays" she spat out at him as she stood up and left with fast paces towards the castle.
"I was right she likes him, she reacted the same way with Krum" he laughed alone as he remembered it.

Hermione wasn't angry just a bit upset that she was so obvious about it. She didn't want the whole school to know she liked her Defense against Arts professor nor that she found her Head of house attractive. She was too lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice the person walking straight towards her until they bumped into eachother.
"Oi Miss Granger! Be careful with your Head of House would you?" Sirius just laughed as he grasped her by the shoulders, realizing she was lost in her own head. "Too lost in there as always eh? 'Mione" he said still holding her.
"I, hmmm, erm , I, I'm sorry sir" she muttered out loudly enough for Sirius to hear,who let go of his hold on her as she started to blush heavily. "Oi! No need to be embarrassed 'Mione, I already know you thought about me!" he joked and let out a bark like laugh and left her there standing as if she were going to grow roots into the floor. She decided she needed to go to the library and search for information about werewolfs and animagi. She felt like the marauders I their young years.. great! That wasn't what she needed but what her instincts told her. She always thought things twice before doing something now she just rushed to the library, afraid these books would be taken.
As she stepped into the library she realized there weren't much students in there so she knew her hopes of getting the right books were extremely high. She went to the shelves Madame Pince had told her. She went through them twice and couldn't find the books so she wandered around the library to another section, she could at least do her Potions homework as she was there.

She saw someone familiar at one of the tables but couldn't figure out who it was as the person was hunched over two books and surrounded by a few other stacks of them. Then it hit her the only one who was so wildly interested in books as her was Lupin...
