After the first year of Hogwarts had passed and the second had come around, Hermione caught Harry frantically working on his summer homework one night in the Gryffindor common room. She had wandered down from her dormitory due to insomnia and had stared at her friend silhouetted by the firelight as he wrote word after word on the long piece of parchment in front of him.
"Harry? What are you doing?" Harry jumped at her voice and covered the parchment he was working on looking guilty.
"Nothing, just writing."
"Writing what?"
"Er… I… That is…" he hung his head and mumbled, "Summer homework."
"You haven't finished it yet? What did you do all summer?"
"Chores and stuff, the usual."
She sat down next to him and gestured towards the parchment, "Well, come on. I'll help you, what subject are you doing?"
"Herbology. You don't have to help, I can do it. You should sleep."
Hermione hummed as she skimmed the textbook, "Can't. Insomnia has kicked in, I'll sleep eventually."
"Oh, alright." She smiled at him he smiled back before they both turned their attention back to the homework in front of them.
