The library was Hermione Granger's sanctuary. It was where she was the happiest, the safest. The rest of the world faded away in those hours she spend surrounded by ancient tomes and dust mites.
So when her best friend Harry Potter found her reading in a cosy and secluded corner of her sanctuary one fine spring afternoon, snatching the heavy tome from her hands before kissing her senseless then walking away as if nothing had happened Hermione is shocked into a sort of waking coma. Her sanctuary has been violated! Harry Bloody Potter has violated the sanctity of the library! Ok, so her shock has bugger all to do with the fact her sanctuary has been violated and everything to do with the fact her best friend just kissed all the intelligence out of her but Hermione's shocked either way.
Dinner had come and gone before Hermione's brain kicks back into full gear and she finally moves. Leaving behind her bag, books, quills and parchment she sprints to Gryffindor Tower. She doesn't remember giving the fat lady the password but the portrait hole opened and she trips ungracefully into the common room. Ignoring Ron's indignant 'Where were you?' she spots Harry in his favourite chair by the fire. Without pause Hermione pounces, leaping into the chair and landing on a surprised Harry where she proceeds to pay him back for this afternoon with interest. They ignore the wolf whistles, the shouts, Ginny Weasley's shrieking and the various students collecting on bets. Harry Potter and Hermione Granger have found their new sanctuary.
