DISCLAIMER: I own nothing of Harry Potter.

Everyone please check out my one shot 'Is this love?' please review it and tell me what you think, including whether or not it should stay a one shot.


The wind moved around me making the leaves rustle and my hair move around my face. I sighed and took a piece of my untameable hair between my fingers curling it around and around before letting it fall loose again. I wasn't sure how long I sat musing about things before a voice made me jump.

"You shouldn't be out here on your own".


I turned slowly and smiled apologetically up at Harry "I know, I just needed a breather".

He nodded in understanding as he sat down beside me "feels suffocating doesn't it?"

I looked at him curiously "yes it does".

He smiled and leant against the tree looking out across the black lake "Sirius was worried when Malfoy said you weren't in the Heads common room".

I sighed "I miss being able to wonder the castle on my own without people watching me everywhere I go, without people looking at me as though I'm about to break down".

There was a moment of silence as we both looked across the black lake, I carried on twirling my curls around my finger and letting them bounce back out as I thought over and over things I could say to break the silence. It wasn't me who broke it though, Harry hesitantly started to speak to me.

"Her … Hermione what do you thinks wrong with Ron?"

I glanced at him, scanning his face to see if I can understand where he was going with them. Frowning I thought over Ron and all the things he had done this year. He wasn't acting as though he was Ron Weasley, Gryffindor and youngest son to the Weasley household he was acting like a Slytherin . . . like a Death Eater.

"I . . . I don't know Harry" I looked at him unsure if I should carry on but with his sparkling green eyes staring intently into mine, I knew I would have to tell him. "He's not Ron" Harry looked confused but I just shook my head and looked out at the black lake again. "He can't be Ron because Ron even if he decided to suddenly cheat he would never have threatened me like that".

I stood up with a frustrated sigh and moved closer to the lake, the wind whipping my hair behind as I thought over everything that has happened. Did I honestly think that some one had taken over Ron, maybe imperioused him? Maybe he wasn't Ron at all, maybe it was Polyjuice Potion, maybe it was Ron but I highly doubted that and he had decided to become a death eater, maybe . . . maybe. There were too many maybes that I could think of but I knew of ways to find out if it truly was Ron and if it wasn't then I could stop whoever it was but if it was . . . I wasn't too sure what I would do.

I turned to Harry who was sat watching me with curiosity "we can find out".

He stood up and made his way over to me "find out what's going on with Ron?"

I nodded "we can use a spell to check if he's been Imperiused, I can create a potion that can make any Polyjuice potion fail" he looked at me in surprise and I shrugged "I was trying to make Polyjuice last longer but I found this instead". I tapped my chin in thought "we're going to need help though, we're going to need someone to follow him around, maybe then we can see if he drinks something every hour".

Harry nodded "I can sort that out but how are we going to make him drink a potion and how are we going to spell him?"

I laughed and shook my head asking in amusement "spell him?" he shrugged sheepishly as his cheeks coloured pink. "I just can't believe it's so close to Christmas and we're doing this again" I looked down sadly "so much for my calm and quiet year".

"We'll get one some day Mione" Harry said softly as he pulled me into a hug. I blushed at the close contact and sighed as my body relaxed. I loved how Harry smelt, I breathed him in and smiled. I couldn't understand why I was feeling this way towards Harry but I knew that it made me feel so much more then I ever had for Ron.

"We have potions next right?" Harry asked startling me out of my thoughts. I rolled my eyes, here I was thinking over how much I care for him and he was thinking of potions . . . some how I think our rolls are reversed.

I nodded and pulled back "yes, why?"

He shrugged as he stared over my head in thought "well lessons are an hour long right?" I nodded and he carried on "well maybe if we find out Ron's not been cursed we can get Snape to keep him behind in class, say he has to go over some work with him or something" I thought it over and nodded.

"I suppose I could cast the spell when we're all waiting outside the dungeons but how will we ask Professor Snape to keep him behind?"

Harry scrunched his face up as he thought "get Ron to blow up his cauldron?"

I laughed slightly but nodded "that might work".

I blushed as I realised I was still in Harry's arms and slowly pulled away "lets head to class" I whispered softly hoping he didn't notice my blush.

He smiled warmly at me making my heart flutter and nodded "I have to go tell Sirius you're okay though" he looked troubled as he looked at me "will you be okay going to Potions alone or shall I walk you there first? The Slytherins are usually there first so you could stay with Pansy?"

I chuckled and pushed him away slightly "it's okay Harry, I know defensive spells you know".

He laughed with me as we made our way through Hogwarts doors, we stopped outside the Great Hall "okay, I'll go find Sirius" he turned to go but stopped and turned back "please be safe Hermione".

I smiled and pulled him into a hug, braving myself I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek making us both blush "I'll see you in class Harry".

I ran off in the other direction before he could reply leaving him standing in shock and bright red, his hand moved slowly to his cheek as a goofy grin appeared on his face.

I walked slowly down the dark dungeons to the potions classroom feeling slightly paranoid as I scanned each shadow for something out of the norm. I wished I had the Marauders map with me. My steps faltered as I realised that with the Marauders map we could find out if Ron is truly Ron, it would even tell us the name of the person if it was someone polyjuiced.

I slapped my forehead as I realised how stupid I was "stupid! Stupid! Stupid" I muttered to myself. I turned to go find Harry and tell him what I had realised when I smacked into a hard body.

I hesitantly and slowly moved my gaze upwards and stared in horror at who was staring down at me.

"Yes, very stupid indeed to be alone my pretty little Mudblood".

All I could do was scream as large hands grabbed me from behind. I fought and struggled and screamed as the arms behind me tightened. I glared up at the person still in front of me as he ordered around the man behind me.

"Shut her up!" he roared "Stupefy!" he waved his wand at me and the world went black.
