Chapter 3
"Well?" Harry said looking at her.
"I don't know, but I'm not dead!" Hermione said sitting down. "Besides, why do you think I'm not see-through?"
"Transparent?" Harry asked, "Who knows?"
Hermione stood up and walked back over towards Harry.
"How do you know Voldemort isn't real again?" Harry asked her, again.
"Because I can go anywhere." She replied looking at him.
"Meaning you think of something or someone and your there?" Harry asked.
"Yes." She said, "It's quite fun, since no one can see me." Then she quickly added, "But you of course."
"Can…" Harry started to say. "Can you take someone with you?" he asked.
"I don't know, I've never really tried it," Hermione told him as they both sat down. "Why?"
"Could you try?" asked Harry.
"Probably, but why would you want me to?" she asked confused.
Harry just leaned forward and grabbed her hand. "Think of you." He whispered.
"Why?" She said sadly.
"Just do it." Harry said and she closed her eyes. "Please Hermione?" That was the last thing he said when the room went black.
When he opened his eyes, he was in the hospital wing. Harry looked around and noticed they were still at Hogwarts. "Well that didn't work." Harry said to her, "Were still at Hogwarts."
Pomfrey came out of her office and over to him, "What can I do for you Potter?" she asked him.
"Ask for me." Hermione said. "I have to be here, it always works."
"I was um…wondering if…um…I could see…Hermione?" Harry asked pausing every once in awhile.
"Hermione who?" asked Pomfrey.
"Oh…ah…Granger, remember?" Hermione told him.
"Right, Granger. Hermione Granger." Harry said and Pomfrey gave him a questioning look.
"Mister Potter, how do you know that Hermione Granger's here?" she said after awhile.
"Uh…she's a good friend of mine."
Pomfrey looked at him for awhile then said, "Very well, follow me." She said turning around and Harry immediately followed her.
They walked through her office, then through another door. When they walked through the last door, Pomfrey stopped and Harry walked in the room. "I'll be in my office if you need anything Potter." She said and turned around leaving him there.

"Well, well, well what do we have here?" Draco Malfoy said coming up to the Gryffindor table." Potty and the Weasel's."
"Leave me alone you stupid idiot." Ginny said and Draco raised his eyebrows at her.
"Sod off Malfoy." Harry said coldly.
"Yeah get lost." Eddie said as he sat down next to Ginny, wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Why don't you make me you freak?" Draco said angrily.
"Are they always this childish?" Hermione asked as she appeared next to Harry.
"Yeah." He said and they all looked at him.
"What was that Potter?" Draco asked, "Not talking to yourself again are we?"
"Leave me alone Malfoy." Harry said.
"Ah…is wittle baby Potter afraid of me?" Draco taunted sarcastically then left.
"What does he get out of tormenting people?" asked Hermione. "Does he find it funny or something?"
"Probably?" Harry said to her.
"Um…Harry?" Ron asked, "Are you feeling alright?" He placed his hand on Harry's forehead.
Harry pushed his arm away and said, "I'm fine Ron."
"You know what you need?" Ron said and Harry shook his head.
"No Ron I don't, enlighten me."
"A girlfriend mate…or do you already have one?" Seamus said before Ron could say anything.
"Yeah, that would be nice." Harry told him, "Where can I get one?"
"Harry don't you dare." Hermione said to him. "Women aren't toys for men to fool around with."
"Alright," Seamus said smiling. "Let's go shopping." He said standing up.
Both Ron and Harry stood up and they started to walk out of the Great Hall. Eddie was following close behind them with Hermione also right behind Harry.
"Harry, you can't do this," Hermione pleaded. "Just turn around and walk away.
"So…do you want to go older or younger?" Eddie asked.
"Younger." Harry said looking at a group of girls.
"Harry we aren't play toys, were human beings, just like you." Hermione said.
"Yeah well I'm sick of being alone." He told her.
"Me to?" Agreed Ron.
"Well Ron, there's always Luna?" Seamus suggested then laughed.
"Funny," Ron said. "But I'd actually like to date someone who's not obsessed with me. If that's alright with you?"
"Oh yeah, that's find." Seamus said trying not to laugh.
"How about Lavender?" Eddie suggested.
"No, she's to clingy." Ron said to him. "I want someone who's a free sprit, you know, someone who's outgoing."
"Like Luna?" Harry said to Ron.
"No not Luna!" Ron yelled causing some people to look at him. "What!" he yelled at them. "Nothing to see here."
"What about me?" Luna asked coming up to them slowly after hearing her name.
"Um…nothing." Ron said.
"How sad, he actually likes her." Hermione said. "Deep down inside he wants her, I can feel it." Harry turned to look at her when she started talking. "Now Harry stop looking at me like I'm crazy."
"So Luna?" Seamus said and she turned to look at him. "Is that a new sweater?"
"No." was her simple reply.
"Never seen it before, are you sure?" Seamus said again taking a step closer to her. "Because you look sexy in it."
"Positive." Luna said taking a step backwards.
"I can't believe this, he's actually hitting on her." Hermione said and laughed. Harry continued to look at her. "How sad it that? He must be very desperate for a girlfriend."
"So…um…Ron?" Luna said looking back at Ron. "I was wondering since you're looking for a tutor and everything…if maybe I could tutor you?" she asked pausing every once in awhile.
"Um…" Ron said pausing. "I actually already have one." Ron lied.
"No you don't." Neville said coming up to them. "Believe me, I asked you yesterday and you said no, only guys are asking me. I want a girl tutor."
Luna looked hurt. "Okay, I get it." She said. "You want a tutor, but you don't want that tutor to be me." Luna then turned around and started to walk away.
"Luna wait!" Ron said and she stopped but did not turn around. "Would you like to be my tutor?" he asked.
"No." she said then walked away.
"Luna?" Ron said and she took off running.
"Seamus does not that she's out of his league right?" Hermione asked Harry. "Now…about you guys using girls as toys?" she said crossing her arms across her chest. "That needs to stop."
"What are you my mother?" Harry said to her.
Neville, Ron, Seamus and Eddie all looked at him. "Um…Harry are you sure you're alright?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Harry said to them.
"Okay then…who were you just talking to?" Neville asked.
"Yeah Harry, now they think you're crazy." Hermione said to him. "That's so awesome, now like, you and Luna can become best friends."
"Why can't you just leave me alone for at least two hours or something?" Harry yelled at her.
"I would but I just love driving you insane." She said to him.
"Well stop!"
"Harry who are you talking to?" Eddie asked him.
Harry turned and looked at them, they were all looking at Harry like he was crazy.
"Yeah smartass, they can't see me. So in other words, they think you're a crazy person." Hermione said to him.
"Oh…right…" Harry said to himself. "I have to go." He said to them, then left.
"Harry!" Eddie yelled.
"I'm late for class!" Harry yelled then went down the stairs, towards the Dungeons.
"I thought he said he was skipping Potions Class this year?" asked Ron.
"He was joking, remember?" Seamus said then turned around and walked outside.

"Will you please stop following me?" Harry said then opened the door.
"Ah…Potter." Snape said when he walked in the room. "So nice of you to join us."
"Sorry Professor, I lost track of time." Harry said as he sat down next to Draco.
"Yes, well you can see me tonight at eight to make up for it." Snape said to him.
"I've seen him before." Hermione said leaning against the table, next to Harry. "I think I know him."
"Really?" Harry asked her.
"Yes Potter, tonight at eight." Snape said to him. "Now since you're both here, open your books to page six hundred and fifty-four. I'd like the Potion complete before you leave." He said then went and sat down at his desk.
"Oh my, God." Hermione said as Harry opened his book. "I do know him." she said and fell silent till the class was over.
"Why were you so quiet?" Harry asked her once they were away from people. "Usually you never shut up."
"Harry?" Hermione said and stopped walking.
Harry turned around and looked at her. "What's wrong, are you okay Hermione?" He asked coming up to her.
"You should get to class, wouldn't want you to be late again." She told him as she looked away.
"I have a free period." Harry told her. "What is it?"
"He's my father." Was her simple reply.
"What?" Harry said shocked.
"Well he actually adopted me when I was five, after my parents died." She said quietly. "He always treated me like I was his own daughter." She then looked back up at Harry.
"So what happened to you?"
"I don't know Harry." Hermione said and walked over to the bench and sat down. "I can only remember something's about me."
"Are you sure he's your father?" he asked as he sat down next to her.
"Just because he hates you doesn't mean he hates me…and yes, he is my father." Hermione told him looking down at the floor.
