Chapter 4

Harry was acting werid Hermione thougth the next day as they were sitting in Charms. He almost got himself detention the day before and all because he was taking up for her. Not that she wan't greatful or that she didn't think that it was very brave and sweet but he shouln't have done it and normally he wouln't have so something was wrong. Ron, Fred, and George were also getting great amusement out of something concerning Harry as well and she was going to find ouy what it was.

After Charms they gathered up their stuff and headed out of the classroom. They were headed to the great hall for lunch but she had other turned to Harry and Ron "I'm not going to lunch today I will catch up with you later."

As she turned to walk away harry grabbed her arm and turned her around "Where are you going" he said and he did not look happy.

Hermione gently removed her arm away and said "I just have to go to the library and check something out for one of my classes." "I'll go with you." Harry said. Hermione smiled " No. It's O.K. I will see you in our next class go have lunch with ron."

As she finished saying this she turned and walked down the hall towards the library. Harry looked like he was going to follow her but Ron grabbed his arm and dragged him in the opposite direction. Hermione breathed a sigh of relief she really didn't need Harry looking over her shoulder while she tried to figure out what was wrtong with him.

Hermione entered the library and headed over to the bookshelves to find some books to look through. She grabbed a couple of books on different subjets and sat down and started reading. Hermione read through out her lunch hour but couldn't find anything. As she heard the bell ring for her next class Hermione closed the book that she was reading with frustration and put it away thyen headed to class.

Hermione headed to her next class. As she was walking down the hallway someone blacked her path. She looked up and saw that it was Malfoy and his two cronies Crab and Goyle. "Well if it isn't the mudblood." Malfoy sneered and Crab and Goyle laughed. Hermione frowned and said " Go away Malfoy I need to get to my next class and so should you."

She moved to go around them but they blocked her path again "What's going on between you and scar head Granger?" "I don't know what your talking about Malfoy now get out of my way!" Malfoy just laughed and pushed her back against the wall. Hermione let out a cry of pain when her head hit the wall and she slide down to the floor. She put her hand behind her head and when she pulled it away it had a little bit of blood on it.

Malfoy dragged her up of the floor and she leaned against the wall for support. "I'm going to enjoy this and I can't wait to see the look on Potters face when he sees you again." As his raise his hands to hit her again they heard somebody yell "Stupify!" Malfoy went flying into the opposite wall and Crab and Goyle both quickly turned around and saw Harry and Ron standing there.

Before they could do anything Harry said "Expelliarmus!" and their wands flew out of their hands and into Rons. As Hermione let out a cry of relief and threw herself into Harry's arms Crab and Goyle helped Malfoy to his feet and they stood facing them. Hermione was crying into Harry's shoulder and he was holding on to her with one arm and pointed his wand at them with the other. Ron was standing beside him in the same position. As they stood there the hall started to get crowded with other students on their way to class.

Everyone was crowded around them fight to see what would happen next. someone must have gone to get a teacher because they could hear Professor McGonagall's voice as she fought her way through the crowded towards them. Before she could get there Harry said "Malfoy if you or one of your stupid friends ever come near Hermione again I will kill you!" The look on his face said that he meant it and Malfoy looked a little scared.

Professor McGonagall finally made it to them and took in the scene. Hermione was still crying into Harry's shoulder and Harry and Ron still had their wands pointing towards Malfoy ready at a moments notice to fire of a spell. "Can someone please tell me what's going on here." She said. Harry was still staring at Malfoy and trying to comfort Hermione by rubbing his hand up and down her back so Ron answered. "We came around to corner and found Malfoy raising his hands to hit Hermione for what looked like the second two so Harry stunned him and took away Crab and Goyle's wands."

Proffessor McGonagall turned towards Malfoy and his friends her face turning red with anger "What!" she yelled. "He's lying!" Malfoy tried to say but Professor McGonagall pointed at a crying Hermione and said " That's all the proof that I need those are reat tears. Detetion for all three of you and 50 point from Slytherin each." Malfoy opened his mouth to complain but she stopped him "Not a word go to Professor Snapes office and wait for me there to explain to him why you have this deteion. Now go!"

Ron gave Crab and Goyle back their wands and they turned and headed down the hall. Professor McGonagall turned to the other students and said "get to class now." Everyone but Harry, Ron and Hermione turned and walked away looking back now and then to see what was going on. When they were all gone she walked over to Harry, Ron and Hemione. "Hermione" she said "Are you all right?"

Hermione lifted her head of Harry's shoulder and said " Yes I'm O.K. my head just hurts a little bit." Harry gently bent her head downa and he saw the dry blood on her head and got angery all over again. Professor McGonagall saw the blood and said " Mr. Potter you and Mr. Weasley take her to the hospital wing you are excussed from your next class I will inform your teacher." They turned to leave when she also said " I know that you did it for a good reason but you also peformed magic in the hallways so I have to take 10 points each from Gryffindor I'm sorry"

Harry shook his head " It's al right I would have done in for any amount of points." After he said this he turn and with Ron's help they took Hermione to the Hospital wing. Professor McGonagall watched them for a few seconds them turn and went in the opposite direction. When to entered the hospital wing Madam Pomfrey immedialty ran over and said" What happened?" Harry and Ron sat Hermione down on the nearest bed then Ron said " Malfoy and his friends attacked her in the hall." Madam Pomfrey let out an an angery yell then told them to leave the room so that she could look over Hermione. Harry opened his mouth to protest but she pushed them gently out of the room and then went back in.

Later that night after dinner they were allowed back in to see her. See watch them as the crossed to room to her bed. Harry had taken a shower after dinner to cool of some and his hair was still a little wet and it looked soft and shinny. Hermione wanted to run her fingers through it. As she had this thought this she frowned. What was wrong with her this was Harry her best friend she didn't need to be thinking about running her finger through his hair.

She was still frowning lost in thought when they reached her. "Are you O.K. Hermione does your head hurt?" Harry said he looked worried. Hermione smiled and said " It's a little sore but Madam Pomfrey said that I will be fine by tomorrow but she wants me to stay in the hospital wing tonight just in case." Harry and Ron both looked relieved. "That's great" Ron said "Oh and hear is some of you books I know that you don't want to get behind not even a day." Hermione smiled and reached out and took the books from him "Thanks Ron your right I don't what to get behind."

She looked through to books and when she reached to one on the bottom she frowned " This is not my potions book" She said. She held it up so that they could see it. Ron looked at it and said "Oh sorry thats Freds potion book I must have picked it up by mistake." He went to take it back but Hermione pulled it out of his reach. "Do you think he would mind if I looked it over I can see what we will be up to when we get to that level." Ron shrug his shoulders "I'm shore that he wont mind just for one night." Hermione smiled "Thanks it will give me something new tyo read I've read all of out books."

Ron rolled his eyes "Sure you have." Harry laughed as Hermione frowned at Ron. Bofore she could say anything Harry sat down on the edge of the bed by her hip and she lost her train of thought for a minute. "Are you sure that you are O.K." He said. She looked into his green eyes and they stared at each other for a few seconds. Hermione could fill her cheeks getting pink when Ron cleared his throat and they looked away. "Yes Harry I'm O.k. really just a mild headache." Harry smiled at her and her heartbeat sped up.

Before they could say anything else Madam Pomfrey came in and said that it was time for them to leave. Both boys gave her a hug and said goodnight. When Harry hugged her he also gave her a kiss on the cheek. As they on walked away Hermione put her hand a cheek and smiled. When the door closed she shook her head and opened up the potions book in her lap. She flipped through the pages looking at the different potions. She turned to the next page and stopped she read through the potion her eyes getting wider the more she read. Once she was finished she layed the book down lost in thought. The potion on the page was The Blab Potion.

This potion explained everything. Why Harry was acting this way someone gave him The Blab Potion that's why he's been saying and doing all of those things this week. But why would someone give him this potion and was she the only one that made him say and do these things. Hermione thought over the past couple of days and realise yes she was the only one that made him act any different. He acted like he always acts around and of the other girls that he's around. Hermione's heart rate sped up. Did this mean that Harry had more than just friendly feelings for her and how did she fill about that.

Hermione didn't even have to think about it long before she came to the conclusion that she was fine with it because she was in Love with Harry. Hermione looked back down at the book and saw that the potion lasted for a week and Harry had been acting werid since Monday so the potion wore off Friday. Hermione smiled well she would be ready for him. Knowing Harry if he did have feelings for her he would want to hide it to protect her from Voldamort. Well that was not going top happen.

At the end of the week once the potions has worn off they would sit down and have a nice long talk and if he did have feelings for her then she wasn't just going to let him walk away from them. Hermione smiled and sat the potions book down on the table beside her bed and turned of the light. She layed down in bed and smiled. She turned over onto her side. When she fell asleep that night she dreamed about her best friend not knowing that up in Gryffindor tower that he was doing the same thing.
