A month pasted by but she wouldn't leave my mind.. I realized that slowly I had begun to do everything with her in mind. I found out that her name was Hermione. I once put her name on my paper instead of mine. When I was at practice I swore the clouds looked like her face. I thought she was watching me just as I had been watching her. I would pick the routes would give me a greater possibility of running into her. I wanted to see her again but she seemed busy. She would miss meals. I began to worry about her.

I convinced Reid that it would be of his best interest to keep an eye out for her. He said it himself that it is our duty to watch out for the younger students. He began to tell me more about her. He slowly began to talk more and more about the girl. I didn't notice that till later on. I was only fascinated with the tales Reid was telling. I hadn't even had a full conversation with this girl and she had already stolen my thoughts.

I saw Hermione and Reid by that lake. She seemed to so happy. Her eyes were turning a honey color. I had seen her eyes do the same thing when she was reading one of those Jane Austin novels. I was watching from the tree that draped over the lake. Reid slowly moved closer to her. He whispered something in her ear. She began to blush. I saw his hand slow creep towards her elegant fingers. I saw her mouthed the words yes. I sat wondering what she was saying yes to.

The thoughts preoccupied my mind for the rest of the day. Because of these impudent thoughts I failed my potions quiz. Not that I had planned on acing it. After a cycle of classes I head over to quidditch field.

I hovered over the grounds slowly waiting for the winged golden ball to flutter towards me. It speedily circled around the field, taunting me. It suddenly orbited around my head. I struggle to grab the golden prize. Sadly, it slipped through my fingers. I began to dash towards it. Then with great grace grabbed one of its delicate wings. I watch with pleasure while it struggles to fly away. I was amazed that chasing this small ball would bring me such joy.

It was supper I noticed that Reid was being extremely quite. That wasn't his style. He loved to talk. It usually took a few punches for him to shut up. He seen nervous as well. He had began to rub his hands together.

"S..So" he stuttered "nice weather we have"

"What's wrong mate?"

"I got a girl.." his voice traveled off.

"Who?"

"Hermione"

I suddenly left my heart fall down to my stomach. She was his girl. He got to her before me. How could he do such a traitorous thing? My hands slowly grasped into a fist.

" I mean she is a really lovely girl. I know you are for me dating younger girls but come on she looks cute" He said while glancing back at her.

She was giggling as she whispered to the other Gryffindor girls.

"That's great. I'm happy for you. Just umm… be careful" I said with such despair.
