1. chapter 1
------------

*Everyone wants so much to be loved*

*Sometimes they are and sometimes they aren’t*

)*(

Hermione Granger stepped off Hogwarts Express. She was home, her only home now. Harry and Ron
walked up next to her, and then they went to find any empty carriage. As they got in Harry
something different about Hermione. Something he couldn’t quite figure out, and he felt like he
needed to know. But he wouldn’t ask right now. It wasn’t the time or the place.

Soon they arrived at Hogwarts and went to wait for the first years to get sorted. Soon after all
the first years were sorted the feats begun. Harry and Ron talked with the other Gryffindors
through out the meal, but Hermione was unusually quiet, and Harry had noticed this.

After the feast Harry Ron and Hermione went up to the common room and sat down on the couch.
Hermione laid on the in front of the burning flames and she stared deep into them. Like she
expected some one to pop out.

Suddenly Professor McGonagall walked in and said “Mr. Potter I have a request to ask of you”

“What is it?”

“To please try stay out of trouble this year, there are important things going on this year
Professor Dumbledore doesn’t not want to get involved in”

“I’ll try” said Harry

“Good” and with that she left

Harry then looked at Ron and Hermione, they shrugged and Ron said “She knows were gonna get in
some kind of trouble this year. So she warned us ahead of time”

Hermione then got up and said “I have to go see Professor Dumbledore. I’ll be back soon.” And
then she left.

“What do you think she needs to see Dumbledore for Harry” asked Ron

“I don’t know but I hope she’s ok” said Harry

Hermione walked toward Dumbledore’s office. She needed to know something and only Dumbledore
could answer it. She got to the gargoyle, said the password and went to Dumbledore’s office. He
wasn’t there so she sat down and waited.

Hermione looked up at the sorting hat and to her surprise he spoke

“Ms. Granger why are you here”

“I want to ask Dumbledore something” she said

“You are wondering why your parents left you in the middle of the night am I correct”

“Yes you are, but how did you know you’re not even on my head” Hermione said

“I have my ways Ms. Granger. This will be hard for you to hear Ms. Granger, but your parents
left you because they didn’t want to have a child that was magic and they didn’t love you any more.
They were tried of there life. So they ran away from you.

He was silent and Hermione knew he was no longer going to talk.

“May I help you Miss Granger” asked Dumbledore from behind her

No thank you Professor. I have had my question answered, sorry to have bothered you”

“No problem at all Ms. Granger, stop by any time you like” said Dumbledore

“Thank you sir” said Hermione and she left

Dumbledore looked at the sorting hat and said “You have helped both of them out now let’s just
hope they can help each other”

The sorting hat said nothing in response

Hermione cried in a dark corner, sitting thinking about what the sorting hat had said It was all
true that her parents did leave her on purpose.

They don’t care about me anymore, they started a new life and they left me, all these thoughts
rushing through Hermione’s head. She couldn’t stop herself from crying. Why, why did they do it,
did she do anything wrong. Well it was to late now, they were gone, gone forever. She just couldn’t
believe it. They seemed happy to have me home this summer. Cover up, that s what it was a cover
up.

And now she had no were to go. All she had was Hogwarts now, her one and only home now.

Harry was worried, ever since she had gone to Dumbledore’s office she hasn’t said a word to him
or Ron, she didn’t even raise her hand in class. He finally worked up the courage to ask her what
was wrong.

Harry walked over to her and asked “Hermione what’s wrong?”

“Nothing wrong” She tried to make it sound true

Harry sat down next to her on the floor and looked at her. She was looking at the fire, and
daring not to meet his gaze.

He finally said “Something is wrong. I can see it when I look at you and plus you haven’t talked
to me or Ron in awhile.”

“Ok there is something wrong” said Hermione

“What is it” asked Harry

Hermione sat up and leaned against the couch, closed her eyes and then opened them again said
quietly “My parents left me”

“Hermione I’m so sorry. You don’t deserve that” said Harry

He saw tears fall from her eyes. He hugged her and Hermione hugged him so tight, like she
wouldn’t let go and started to cry. Harry couldn’t believe that they actually did that. How could
any one do that. Hermione stopped crying but didn’t let go of Harry.

“Why” He asked

“They didn’t love me any more. They wanted to start new life. I feel so messed up right now” She
answered

“I’ll help you through this”

“Thank you Harry. I’m glad I have you as a friend” said Hermione

“Any time Hermione and I’m glad I have you as a friend too” said Harry

They sat there just thinking and looking into the fire. Right before Hermione fell asleep, she
thought to herself. Thank you so much Harry for everything. You’re the greatest friend. I just wish
you were more then a friend to me, and then she fell asleep against Harry. And little did she know
that Harry was thinking the exact same thing.

The next day Harry woke up n the floor with someone laying next to him. Thoughts of last night
went rushing through his head. He felt Hermione move and she sat up.

Harry looked at her and said “I think we fell asleep in front of the fire”

“Yes I think we did” said Hermione

“We should head back to our dorms before any one comes down”

“Yeah that’s a good idea”



2. chapter 2
------------

*Everyone has a deep desire, sometimes you can see right through a persons eyes and see
it*

**!**

Hermione walked slowly outside towards the lake. She wanted to be alone to think. Think about
everything that had happened with her life so far. Her parents didn’t want a magic child, they
didn’t love her any more, but then why did they let me come here.

I’m so confused thought Hermione to herself

What was she going to do now? She had no were to go know, she was lost. She felt scared, scared
that no one in the world could help her now, she had to figure this one out on her own and she
would she always did.

Her other thoughts were harry. He was there for her when she told him and he understood. He
always has, even though he would never admit up to it, and when she always looked into his green
emerald eyes she would always get lost in them, and the ways his always messed up jet-black hair
would hide his scar. She was glad his hair was like that. He always had people starring at him like
he had killed some one.

His smile always made her happy, but lately there wasn’t much of that from him. All because of
voldemort. She wanted to be there for him, but she didn’t know how to any more.

It started to rain, she stopped at the foot of the lake and thought maybe they only thing we
have in common is no parents, no one that cares for us. Not counting the weasleys or lupin or
moody.

They both had nothing. She looked up at the raining sky, and for the first time ever she should
weakness, she started to cry.

“It’s not fair” Hermione yelled as she fell onto her knees

It wasn’t fair that she did everything perfect and tried to make everyone happy and this
happened to her. Then soon her sadness was replaced with anger. She was angry at them. She did
everything that they told her to do. She was the perfect child and they just deserted her. She did
her best in school because for them, she wanted to make them proud, and now her weakness came again
she was angry and sad. Tears once again came. This time she wouldn’t fail this time she was going
to be the best student to be in Hogwarts.

The rain stopped and in return came a cold winters night, but she didn’t care. She looked up at
the bright moon and stars giving the only light. She would probably feel sick in the morning, but
she knew a spell to get rid of it. She knew everything.

She walked the path back to the castle and up to the Gryffindor common room and up to her
private room, and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.

Harry had heard her enter. He hoped she was ok. She had been gone for quite some time. Harry
wanted to see if she was alright. He had been worried about her ever since she had told him that
her parents had left her. She had been hurt really bad. He could tell. She loved her parents a
lot.

And the thing with harry was that he had fallen for her. Ever since last year when he had to
face voldemort. She was there at his side as she always was, and he did the same for her. He loved
the way her face lit up when she received high marks. Her smile could brighten any one up and her
brown eyes were so beautiful that he could stare at them forever.

Her brown bushy hair, always out of control, but she didn’t seem to care about her appearance or
what any one thought of her. He loved that about her.

He wanted to go check on her and so he did. He got up and walked quietly to her bedroom and
slowly opened the door and when he did he saw a sleeping Hermione. She looked like she was deep in
sleep. He walked over to her and whispered “you mean so much to me that I know if you don’t survive
my worlds nothing, but this time it’s my turn to help you. I’m gonna help you get through this. As
like you have always done for me. I can help you get through this Hermione. I promise. And with
that he kissed her on the cheek and whispered “I love you Hermione” and took one long last glance
at her and left.

^&^

Hermione woke to the sound of the humming wind. She got out of bed and went over to the open
window and saw harry practicing quidditch. She knew how much he loved the game and always loved
playing it. She really just liked to fly for fun. She watched as harry did a turn and did a dive
for the snitch. He had a huge smile on his face as he did this.

Hermione turned and went to put her uniform on and then went to the library.



3. chapter 3
------------

*Have you ever wanted something so bad that you felt like you already have it*

*>?<*

Harry wondered around not caring were his feet took him. He ended up in the astronomy tower. He
looked up at the bright starry night. The shinning moon giving the only light that poured over
him.

He wanted Hermione to be happy again. He hated it when she was unhappy. It killed him. Harry
closed his eyes and listened to the whispering wind past by him. He wanted her to smile again but
how. There had to be a way. He thought and thought until it finally came to him. It would be a big
risk but he would do it just to see her smile again or at least try to make her smile again.

#$#

Hermione walked slowly to the great hall. As she was walking harry appeared at her side.

“Hi” said harry

“Hello Harry” How are you today any more nightmares lately” she said

“Fine and no, but there is something I would like to ask you “

“What is it?”

“Could you help me study for the N.E.W.T.S?”

“Alright” she answered

“Thanks, about seven”

“Why so late”

‘Just so we can get work done in peace’ said harry

“Ok” she said

They entered the great hall and went to their table and ate breakfast. The day went by slowly.
Well it seemed. At lunch Hermione didn’t feel like eating, she had a big breakfast. So she went
outside and sat under a tree in front of the lake and did her homework.

Harry neither appeared either. He was working on his plan for Hermione. He just hoped it would
work.

Soon it was dinner. Harry and Ron talked about there up coming quidditch game and Hermione was
reading a book while eating. Harry looked at her and smiled.

That Hermione always reading ahead harry thought to himself.

“Hey harry want to come with me to practice some strategies for the next game” said Ron

“No thanks Hermione is going to help me study for the N.E.W.T.S.” said harry

“Alright, but I think your turning into Hermione” said Ron in a joking way and with that he
left.

Harry turned back to Hermione and said “ready to go study Hermione”

“Yeah sure let’s go”

For the next two hours harry and Hermione studied, but more like torture to harry. Harry looked
at his watch and thought now’s the time.

“Hey Hermione can we take a break, go for a walk” he said

“Alright” she answered

They got up and walked around the castle a few times until harry started to lead the way.

“Were are you leading me harry”

“Just trust me” he answered

After a few seconds Hermione realized were he was going, to astronomy tower.

“Why are we going to astronomy tower harry”

“You’ll see” he said

He opened the door and Hermione walked through and looked up ay the beautiful night sky, filled
with stars and the bright pale moon shinning upon them. At the edge there was a telescope and harry
took Hermione’s hand and lead her over to it and whispered

“Look through the telescope”

she did as requested by him and couldn’t believe what she saw. Written in the sky of the stars
was

I Love you Hermione

Hermione look up from the telescope and felt tears falling from her eyes. She looked at harry
and…….



4. chapter 4
------------

“How did you do this?”

“Magic” he replied

Hermione went into his arms and said “I Love You to Harry. I always have.

Harry looked at Hermione looked happier then he had ever seen her since that day she told him
about her parents.

“Thank you harry” she whispered

“No Hermione thank you”

“What did I do” she asked

“You were the one who was always there for me when no one else was. I just did the same for you
in return, and I did it because I love you”

Those words brought tears to Hermione’s eyes. Some one in this world loved her, and now inside
herself she felt like there wasn’t anything missing. She felt complete, and the best part was that
the person that loved her. She loved back.

She looked at harry and said once again “I love you”

“I love you too Hermione”

He slowly leaned into kiss her. As soon as harry lips touched hers she froze for a second and
then responded tom the kiss by wrapping her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her
waist. Harry opened his mouth for Hermione tongue to enter. Hermione tongue explored Harry’s mouth.
After minutes the kiss ended.

Harry whispered in her ear “You bring magic every were you go, your so amazing”

Hermione smiled and then walked over to the edge and said with out turning around whispered “why
me”.

“Because you saw me as harry potter not the boy who lived. You saw me as harry. That’s what I
want people to see when they look at me but they don’t. They just see me as the person who has to
defeat voldemort to save the world. You know I just want to be a regular wizard trying to get
through school, who loves quidditch, and doesn’t want to study.

Hermione laughed at this. It was true that he never did study much. Harry smiled at her.

“Harry I have and will always see you as the person I know you are, nothing will ever change
that.” Said Hermione

“And I have always seen you as more then a person that loves to study and read and gets good
grades. That’s why you’re my friend. I never thought you were ugly” said harry.

Hermione smiled at the memory of harry saying he didn’t think she was ugly in the 5th
year. “Harry there is something more I love then books”

“What’s that” he asked

“You”

They returned smiles

“Hermione“said harry

“Yes harry” she said as she looked up at the night sky

“I love you”

“Every time you say that to me I feel protected and when I’m in your arms its like nothing in
the world can harm me because I have you ay my side” said Hermione

Harry smiled at her again and thought he couldn’t be any happier then any one else in the world.
He had Hermione at his side always and forever now. They had saved each other and found themselves
with each others help. There was nothing in the world that could tare them apart. Nothing.

Harry wrapped his arms around Hermione from the back. Hermione leaned against his chest and
smiled. She had harry protecting her now in his arms. That what was she felt and she never wanted
to lose that feeling. Hermione felt harry put his head on top of hers, and tighten his grip.

He never wanted to lose her and she never wanted to lose him.

Both he and Hermione thought it would never end this way just like a fairy tale, like magic, but
it did it was after all Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry…

*Love has its ways of showing itself, but the one special way is just seeing it through the
eyes of ourselves sand knowing what it really is*
