Hello there!

Here's another MM for you all.

:)

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter!

Hermione looked up from her corner in the common room, watching Harry and Ron as they climbed their way in and headed to their usual seats in front of the fire. She set her book that she had been reading down on her lap as they laughed, moving closer to the fire place as they warmed themselves up. She knew that they had been at Quidditch practice, and for whatever reason were later coming back then everyone else.

As she sat watching them, she couldn't help but think of the future. She knew that they were all going to stick together until they defeated Voldemort once and for all, but what about after that? Would they still be as close as they are now? Or would the absence of danger and adventure lead them to drift apart? A frown worked its way onto her face as she thought, and she was so lost in them that she missed Ron leaving to go up to the boys dormitory, and Harry looking over to catch her frowning at him.

It didn't take him long to realize that while she was looking at him as she frowned, she was not actually frowning at him. Wondering what was wrong he stood and made his way to her spot in front of the window, sitting down across from her when he reached her. He waited for her to notice him, watching as he frown on her face grew more prominent the longer she was lost in thought.

"Hermione?" he finally asked, poking her leg to get her attention. She jumped, head whipping towards him. She blinked a few times, bringing herself out of her head to focus on him.

"Oh, Harry. When did you get here?" she questioned, head tilting slightly to the side.

"Not that long ago." He said, settling back against the window.

"Oh. Where did Ron go?" she set her bookmark in place, closing the book as she turned so she faced him better.

"Up to bed."

"Oh." It was quiet for a while after that as they looked out the window and watched the rain fall.

"Harry?" Hermione drew his attention back to her. She was still looking out the window, and he noticed she had an odd look on her face. He couldn't tell what it was from his view point, but figured he would find out soon.

"Hermione?" he saw a small smile grace her face before it left, bringing the odd look back.

"We'll always be best friends, right?" Harry looked at her sharply at the question, wondering where this had come from.

"Of course we will."

"You promise?" she looked back over at him.

"Yes." He said brow furrowed slightly.

Hermione held out her left pinky, holding it up between them. "Pinky promise?"

Harry bit back a smile at the childness of the action. "Pinky promise." He said linking his pinky with hers. Hermione smiled at him, leaving him free to let his smile show.

"Good." She stood, smoothing her skirt down with her free hand. "Goodnight, Harry. Don't stay up too late." She told him, kissing his cheek.

"Goodnight Hermione." he watched her make her way up the girl's staircase, disappearing around the corner. He didn't know what brought that on, but was glad that he seemed to set her at ease. Girls could be strange sometimes.

Hmm..two in a row that mention best friends. I guess that's just because I wrote them on the same day...sorry, I'm musing.

I hope you enjoyed this! I don't know when the next will be up, for I still have to finish one and fix the other. I will try and do it fast!

As ever, reviews would be lovely!
