Hermione was frozen to the spot as she felt Harry's gaze sweep over her. "Well?" Harry asked and Hermione swallowed what felt like her heart. What was she meant to say? Sorry Harry, I was off having a lovely chat with Draco Malfoy! Shaking her head she stepped over to where Harry was sat. "Nowhere really," she whispered, "just in the library again." As she sat down she failed to notice Harry narrow his eyes. "Really? Well I went to the library..." Hermione winced, "...and you weren't there." Hermione's heart began to skip as she avoided Harry's gaze. "I...went for a walk afterward," she lied. This time looking up at Harry in mock innocence. Harry narrowed his eyes again, but before he could open his mouth Hermione interrupted. "Harry, what could I have really been doing? Don't you trust me?" Silence followed as Hermione watched Harry struggle for words. "Mione...I, Well...I care about you, that's all," Harry whispered. Hermione felt her heart fill with warmth, "you know you're a like a brother too me Harry, I care about you to." With that she ruffled his hair, jumped up and headed for the stairs to the girls dorms.

Harr watched in despair as Hermione climbed the stairs. Bringing a hand up, he tried to straighten out his messy mop of hair. What was he going to do? Every time he tried to get closer, she just reminded him he was family. Harry couldn't help if he had feelings for Hermione. They had been stirring for a while, but he always tried to bury them. Now they were just overwhelming. If she didn't take the hint anytime soon he'd just have to sit her down and tell her straight. He was in love with her. And as far as Harry knew, there were no boy's in Hermione's life because she always spent her time in the library. Unfortunately, Harry wasn't aware of just how wrong he was...
