Thank you again for all the follows and for my 2 reviews. I need more please! R&R always welcome. I can take the not so good one's as well. It will help me, promise.

Been a bit busy at work, but will upload next chapter in the next few days.

Can this be real?

Chapter 2

O no no no no no no. This cannot be. How could I have been so obtuse? Harry is like a brother to me, isn't he? This is just too much to handlenow. Just because I think Harry is the same man as my dream husband, does not make him my future husband. I will have to go to the library as soon as possible. Perhaps I can find a book about premonition or something similar.

Harry, however, waved his hand in front of my face again, seeking my attention now that I am lucid again, according to him in any case.

"Yes, Harry. Now that you have disrupted my slumber, what can I do for you?"

Sarcasm and verbal attack is always my favorite way to retaliate when I am feeling insecure.

"Em, Ron was looking for you earlier and we came looking for you. Why are you here so late? If Filch finds you out on the grounds, you will probably spend the rest of the year with Snape in detention."

"I just needed some time to myself? Why was Ron looking for me?"

A moment passed while Harry looked at me with those probing green eyes of his. He can always see deeper than most.

"Are you alright, Hermione?"

No, I am not alright. I think, perhaps I am falling for my best friend while he is dating another girl who is so much more suited to him than me, while also having conflicting feelings for my other friend who is also dating another girl. But, that is not what Harry wants to hear now.

"Yes, I am perfectly fine, thank you. Let's get back to the dormitory. You still did not answer my question earlier. Why was Ron looking for me?"

"He just, em, wanted you to help him with something." The faint blush tells me everything I need to know.

"What you mean to say, is that Ron did not do his Transfiguration Essay, and want me to finish it for him? Honestly, when will you boys learn? Professor McGonagall gave that Essay two weeks ago!"

"I know, Hermione. But with Quidditch practice, and detention with Snape last week, we just never got around to it. We really wanted to finish it yesterday, but, em, something came up, and we just forgot about it."

"Oh Harry, not you too?"

My disappointment must have shown because Harry's face turned red again. I know fully well, that they spent all their free time with their girlfriends, and for a moment I wanted to snap at Harry.

"Well, I did get a bit more done than Ron but after our last class with McGonagall, I did not want to hand in the essay without you proofreading it first. It was, well, a bit embarrassing, last time."

I couldn't help myself, I burst out laughing.

"Yes, I think it had to do with you writing that Ginny has pretty boobs instead of Fera Verto, the spell to transfigured a rat into a cup."

"That is not funny Hermione. She said, that if I hand in a similar essay again, she will owl Mrs Weasley. I will never be able to go to the Burrow again!"

We entered the common room together, laughing at the though of Mrs Weasley demanding to know, how Harry knows Ginny has pretty boobs. And suddenly I had to wonder the same thing, how does Harry know?

I saw a flash of red and the object of my thoughts came crashing into Harry. I walked to where another red-head was eagerly awaiting my arrival, my heart heavy in my chest.

After a few minutes, I completed the boy's homework for them, again reminding them to finish their homework on time and that I will not always be there to finish it for them. With this, Ron's head snapped up.

"What! Where are you going, Hermione?"

"Oh, Ronald. I am not going anywhere, but…" at this I had to pause for a bit. Why did I say that? I don't like being away from them. During the holiday's, I always count the days till I see them again.

"But?"

"You and Harry are moving on. You are both dating and, being a girl myself; they will not always like me hanging around you."

"You and Ginny are friends and you and Lav share a dorm. Of course they would not mind."

"Ron, what would you do if I started dating Seamus? Will you be happy if I drag him with us everywhere?"

"What? Since when do you fancy Seamus? Are you dating him behind our backs? How can he date you?"

And I saw red.

"How could he date me? What is wrong with dating me? Am I to ugly to date? Is it because I am a Muggle?"

Ron's mouth was hanging open, his face matching his hair, but I was not finish yet.

"Just because you do not think of me as a girl, Ronald Weasley, does not mean other boy's think of me the same! If I want to date Seamus, then I will and I do not need your permission!"

I stormed pass him to where Seamus was sitting. I pulled Seamus up and snogged him for all that I was worth. After a few minutes I could feel Seamus's wandering hands and decided to end the charade.

The first thing I saw was the look of surprise, mixed with horror on Harry's face. Ron's fist was balled by his side, fury all over his face.

"Damn, Hermione. If I knew you had it in you, I would have snogged you a long time ago."

I just glared at him.

"And that, Ronald, shows you that I am in fact a girl, with the same wants as the other girls. I am not just a silly know it all bookworm! I just wish that certain people can see that!"

And with a final look at Harry, I walked out of the room.
