1. The Touch of a hand

Love Potion No2

Harry Potter will never belong to me (damn shame) he'll and Hogwarts and everything else in the potter world belongs to JKR, plus I'm a student and can't afford to be sued.

I'd like to say a big massive thankies to Lauren who my beta and a massive Harry/Hermione fan.

I've fixed the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thingy

Enjoy

The wheel on Hermione's trolley which was carrying her Hogwarts luggage snapped off sending her belongings everywhere.

"Great" she whispered bending down. She was reaching for the large truck when she heard a voice.

"Let me help you with that" She looked up to find that her friend Harry Potter was standing next to her.

"Harry" she said jumping to her feet and breaking into a grin. Harry grinned back; still smiling she stepped forward and hugged him .

She could tell that he was shocked but was pleased when she felt him embrace her tightly.

"I've missed you Harry, you ever heard of sending an owl or two?! " Harry made a face

"I'm sorry the Dursleys wouldn't let me study let alone let Hedwig out of her cage." Harry said stepped gently out of the hug, "What happened," he said pointing down to the broken trolley

"It broke. That's muggle technology for you!"

"HARRY, HERMIONE" Ron yelled running up to them.

"Hey Ron," Hermione said extending her hand, Ron shook it and then turned to Harry.

"Has Sirius written to you at all. " He questioned him

"Not one single letter, I'm sure the Dursleys hid them or something?"

"Harry you've got to get out of that house." Ron exclaimed

"Tell me about it" Harry sighed to himself. "We better help Hermione with her stuff, we need to get to Platform 9 ¾ before the train leaves."

"Sure" Ron said, starting to help Harry move the large truck to Harry's own trolley.

As they both reached for the wand case their hands met, Hermione blushed and neither of them seemed to know what to do in this awkward situation. Luckily someone came to the rescue.

"Oh look it Scar Head and Mudblood" Malfoy exclaimed. Harry stumbled to his feet.

"Back off Malfoy" said Hermione menacingly

"Oh I'm so scared" Malfoy joked kicking the wand case away. Hermione glared at him and stepped further towards him, but Harry stopped her with a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't Hermione, he's not worth it." he said turning her away from Malfoy and towards Ron who was watching the whole thing.

Malfoy threw a dirty look at the backs of Harry and Hermione and walked away muttering something under his breath.

"Someone needs to shove a wand where..."

"Ron, don't! " Hermione said stopping him before he could say anything more. "We're going to be late." The three friends quickly packed the rest of Hermione's belongings on to Harry's trolley and together they went thought the wall to platform 9 ¾.

Platform 9¾ was hectic students where rushing about trying to find an empty train compartment and family members were hugging and crying. Harry watched in amusement as Neville Longbottom rushed back to his grandmother as she yelled at him for forgetting his toad.....again.

"Looks like Neville needs more Rememberballs" Ron remarked as the three made their way towards the end of the train. Luckily there was a empty compartment right at the back of the train. Harry flopped on the seat and sighed happily.

"In a few hours I'll be home."

Hermione smiled taking a seat by Harry. As she sat down she pulled something from out of her robes.

"I've got something for you Harry that you might like." She said handing him the small bundle of letters. Harry opened the first one; it was from his godfather Sirius. Harry broke into a large grin; he dropped the letters and pulled Hermione into a tight embrace.

"Thank you Hermione, you don't know how much this means to me. But why did he send them to your house." Harry said giving Hermione one last tight squeeze before letting her go.

"Er, Sirius thought it would be better if he send the letters to my house than to yours." Hermione stuttered feeling rather embarrassed, as Ron was looking at her strangely, having witness the hug.

Without warning, Hermione stood and left the carriage without a word. Harry watched her leave with a puzzled _expression

"What's up with you and Hermione?" Ron asked as the train pulled out the station

"I... I don't know what you mean." Harry stuttered; Ron rolled his eyes.

"You've both been hugging each other a lot." Harry shook his head.

"I was only saying thank you to for her keeping Sirius' letters." Ron laughed

"I bet you were. I doubt you would have hugged me if it was me who had given you the letter; anyway Hermione's being talking about you all Summer."

"What?" Harry asked quite startled, Ron grinned.

"I think she's got a crush on you Harry." Ron said smiling as he saw his best friend blush. Suddenly there was a cry of pain from the direction Hermione had left. Both Harry and Ron jumped to their feet and rushed out into the train's corridor, only to find Hermione lying on the ground holding her left hand with Malfoy standing over her with a wicked grin on his face.

"That will teach you to get in my way Mudblood!" he said drawing back to kick her.

"Don't even think about it Malfoy! " Harry said rushing up to Malfoy. He pushed him away from Hermione and bent down to help her to feet.

"Harry watch out! " Ron yelled as Malfoy ploughed into Harry knocking him to the ground.

"What the heck do you think you doing Scarhead? You can't just go around pushing people! Wait 'till Snape hears that you've been pushing me about." Harry glared at Malfoy as he helped Hermione to her feet.

"Wait 'till Dumbledore finds out that you've were going to kick a fellow Hogwarts student! Malfoy you won't get away with this!" Malfoy shook his head and raised his fist to hit Harry, but Harry was faster. He punched Malfoy squarely on the nose sending him reeling to the floor. Malfoy hit the floor hard, whimpering he stood up on shaking legs holding his nose with one hand.

"We're not finished Potter!"

With that he left the carriage. Harry looked down at Hermione only to find that she had fainted.

Coming soon Chapter Two

2. Chapter 2, In theses arms

Yeah Second Chapter

Thankies to Lauren
and thankies to everyone who reviwed my fic I love you all

Harry looked down at Hermione with concern. Actually, it was more like with fear.

"Hermione" he called gently trying to rouse her, but he couldn't.

"Go get some help Ron, I'll take her back to the carriage."

Ron nodded and raced off. Trying to be as gentle as he could, Harry carried Hermione to the carriage. He tenderly laid her down on one of the seats and sat back on his heels. He was scared and didn't know what to do, he had never had a girl faint on him before. He stared at her, willing her to come around and tell him that she was okay. He was worried for Hermione. He looked at the damage that Malfoy had done to her hand. It was bruised and by the look of it one of her fingers was broken. Harry's eyes narrowed, he wasn't going to let Malfoy get away with this. Suddenly Hermione made a noise. Harry turned around to find that she was coming around. She blinked, confused to find herself lying on the seat with Harry hovering over her with a look of concern on his face.

"Hermione are you okay?" he said helping her to sit up. She nodded and winced as she tried to flex her injured hand. Harry sat down beside her.

"What happened?" he asked

"I was trying to go thought into the next carriage when Malfoy appeared. I got my hand caught as he was opening the door, and then he pushed me down and that's when you and Ron came along." Hermione looked around the compartment.

"Where is Ron anyway?" she asked Harry

"Gone to get some help, he should be back soon. Hermione we've got tell Dumbledore about Malfoy and what he's done to you." But Hermione was shaking her head.

"You punched him Harry! He'll report you too! What did you do it for?"

"I wanted to get him back for hurting you, Hermione! You're my friend and I care about you. " Harry said, reaching out and cupping her face with his palm. She smiled gently and lent her face against his hand.

The compartment door opened, making Harry drop his hand and Hermione scooted to end of the row of seats.

Harry looked up at the carriage's doorway to find Ginny standing there looking strangly at him and Hermione.

"Hiya Ginny" Harry said standing up, Ginny stared at Harry again.

"I... I..." she stuttered

"Ginny what's wrong? " Hermione said standing up and walking towards the youngest Weasley. Without warning Ginny turned around and raced out the carriage, nearly knocking down Ron who was heading back to the carriage, the witch who pushed the trolley following behind.

"What's wrong Ginny?!" Ron called after her.

"What's up with her?" he asked Harry as they stepped into the carriage

"I don't know." Harry said shrugging his shoulders.

Ginny ran into the small toilet, slamming the door behind her, she lent against it, resting her head on the door. As she got her breath back she remembered what she had seen in the carriage - Harry touching Hermione's cheek, with what seemed a look of love in his eyes. Did this mean that he and Hermione were seeing each other? Ginny didn't think that they were, she would of heard about it from Ron.... but what if Ron didn't know? What if Harry and Hermione were keeping it secret? Ginny shook her head, she didn't want to think about it but it still hurt to know what Harry liked someone else other than her.

Thanks for the review
*huggies to all*

"What happened?" the witch asked as she examined Hermione's hand.
Hermione
bit her lip as the women gently touched her finger.

"It looks like its broken dear, as soon as we arrive at Hogwarts we'll
get
Madam Pomfrey to take a look at it. She'll be able to fix this no
promblem.
How did this happen?" the witch questioned as she took something from
out
her pocket. Hermione looked at Harry.

"I got my finger trapped in the door; wasn't looking what I was doing."
she
said telling a small white lie, she didn't want to get Harry into
trouble.

"Silly thing to do my dear, now have some of this." the witch said
braking a
large slab of chocolate into three bits. She handed a bit each to Ron,
Hermione and Harry.

"It will best if you just sit tight and wait until we get to Hogwarts.
I'll
send a owl to Madam Pomfrey telling her about what's happened."

With that the wicth left the carriage. Harry bit into his chocolate
feeling
the warm spread around his body, but all too soon the chocolate was
gone.
Ron had dozed off and Hermione was sitting looking out the train's
window,
caught up in her own thoughts.

"Hermione why did you lie?" he asked her quietly, not wanting to wake
Ron.
Hermione turned to Harry.

"I don't want you to get in trouble over Malfoy. It's just he always
wants
someway of getting you in to trouble Harry. Plus we don't want you to
lose
points from Gryffindor before we even got to Hogwarts do we?" Hermione
joked, Harry smiled and give a small laugh.

A hour later, the Hogwarts Express pulled into Hogsmeade Station, and
students started to leave the train. Harry prodded Ron to wake him up.

"Fred give me back my teddy" Ron mumbled as he woke up. Harry hid a
laugh as
Ron opened his eyes.

"I'm not Fred and I don't have you're teddy bear, but we are at
Hogsmeade
and I think we are the only ones left, so we'd better hurry."

The three quickly made their way off the train and towards the coaches
that
would take them to Hogwarts. Just as they were getting in to one,
Ginny
appeared.

"Ginny why don't you get in this one with us?" Ron said holding out his
hand
to help Ginny into the coach, but she took one look at Hermione and
shook
her head and walked away. Ron shook his head and stepped into the coach
ready to sit next to Harry, but the seat was already taken by Hermione.
Ron
looked slighly puzzled as he took a seat opposite them.

"Ginny's been acting really weird today. I mean she nearly knocked me
flying when she rushed out the carriage. What were you two up to
anyway?
You weren't kissing were you?!" Ron started to laugh but stopped when
he saw
that both his friends had turned scarlet with embarassment.

"You weren't we you..?" he asked

"Of course we weren't Ron" Harry said not being able to look Ron in the
eyes, "I was just asking Hermione want had happened in the corridor
between
her and Malfoy."

When the carriage arrived at Hogwarts they found that Madam Pomfrey was
waiting for them. With one look at Hermione's finger she wisked her
off to
the hospital wing, leaving Harry and Ron to watch the Sorting and enjoy
the
feast.

After the feast Harry made his way up to the hospital wing carrying a
tray
with some of the food from the feast for Hermione. The wing was quiet
and
dimly lit as Harry walked in. There was only one occupied bed and the
occupier was sitting up in it reading a book.

"Studying already Hermione, we haven't even been in the school for a
full
day yet." Harry said putting the tray down on the bedside table.
Hermione
put her book down.

"We've got O.W.L's this year Harry. I'm just getting a head start in
revision. You could do the same." she told Harry, she looked at the
tray.

"Is that for me?" she asked pointing to the tray. Harry nodded.

"I kept some of the feast for you." he said helping her place the tray
on
her knee.

"Good, I need to get rid of the taste of Skele Gro." Hermione said
picking
up a goblet of pumpkin juice. Harry shivered remembering the taste of
Skele
Gro.

After talking about the summer hoildays for about an hour, Madam
Pomfrey
told Harry to leave, saying that bones needed sleep to help them mend
better. Promising Hermione that he would see her at breakfast Harry
left
the hospital wing and made his way to the Gryffindor's common room.

"Slugpop" he said the picture that led to the common room. The picture
sild
to one side and Harry entered the common room. Soon he was in his own
bed
and dreaming.

He was running through a sunlit forest chasing someone, who kept saying
"If
you catch me Harry I might let you give me a kiss." Harry followed the
voice, jumping over tree roots and stones. Fianlly he could see the
person
he was chasing. It was a girl around at the age of 15, her black
Hogwarts
robes fanning out behind her as she kept running, as did her brown
shoulder
length hair. Harry then realised who the girl was it was...

"Hermione, slow down I can't catch you." he said trying to run faster.
For
some reason he wanted to catch up with her and swing her around and in
his
arms and make her laugh, telling her how much he cared for her.

Hermione, still running, turned around and grinned at Harry.

"Come on Harry catch me if you can." she said giggling and running even
faster. Harry tried to catch up with her, but she was running to fast.
Then
all of a sudden the sunlit forest turned into the Forbidden Forest.

4. Who!

And thanks to my beta reader Kath thanks for hanging in there

Author Note:

I'm so Sorry that this chapter was so long in coming, I've had a busy time in RL, new job and everthing, I promise I'll try and be faster with Chapter Five

Chapter Four

It took just over ten minutes to get to their next lesson, Divination.

Harry wasn't looking forward to this lesson with Professor Trelawney always predicating some nasty death for him. After saying goodbye to Hermione who was going to a different her own lesson, Harry and Ron made their way up the silver stairs that led to the divination classroom, they once again picked a spot that was a far as physically possible from Professor Trelawney.

"I wonder what she will "predict" about you this time." Ron said sarcastically, playing with the edge of the bright pink table cloth. Harry shrugged his shoulders, not really caring at all what Professor Trelawney might come up with.

"Maybe that I'll get eaten by the giant squid this time!" he mumbled just as the professor entered the room.

Good morning class, and welcome to your third year of divination, This year will be concentrating more on gazing into crystal balls again, now I know that some of you didn't have much luck last time.!" Trelawney said looking directly at Harry, her eyes large and dramatic, Harry sank lower into his seat, "but hopefully one of you will have some better luck."

Trelawney turned to Lavender who was sitting in the very front of the room.

"So can everyone please get yourselves in to pairs, and pick up a crystal ball. Oh Neville, it's okay, crystal balls aren't like mirror's you will not be cursed." The professor told. He looked terrified, but he walked over and collected a crystal ball, but no sooner had he gotten a hold of it, then he tripped on his long robes and the ball fell from his hands, smashing into little minuscule pieces, Neville murmured an apology to Professor Trelawney and went to get another ball.

Meanwhile Ron was gazing into their own crystal ball, with Harry.

"Pea Soup!?" he said to Harry just as Professor Trelawney came up to their table.

"Still can't see?, Let me try," she said, pushing Ron out of the way and gazed into the crystal ball, Harry braced himself for the worse, but to his and the surprise of the whole class, she turned and smiled at Harry.

"I see that there is going to be a budding romance between you, Harry, and a certain young girl, whom I won't name, I don't want to embarrass the two of you, A word of caution the path to you're true love will not run smoothly, the both of you will face hurdlers before you reach happiness You, Harry, will be betrayed by a close friend," Trelawney said, her eyes moving over to Ron for a few seconds, and then back to Harry. "You ask this girl to the Yule Ball." Harry could feel his face going red as he sank as low into his seat as he could, because, the rest of the class was now staring at them, Trelawney pattered him on the shoulder and moved over to Neville, who fell backwards off his chair as she smiled at him.

Not for the first time, Harry couldn't wait for Divination to end, He was trying to ignore the whisper's that were making their way across the stuffy classroom, but it was extremely difficult.

As soon as the bell rang, Harry was out of his seat and pulling open the trap door.

"Harry wait up!" Ron called, running to catch up with him, Harry didn't finally stop until he was halfway down the stairs.

"Thanks for waiting!" Ron said sarcaststicly.

"Sorry, Ron but I had to get out of there! It was nearly as worse as the time when she saw the Grim!"

Ron shrugged his shoulders', "At least it's better than her saying that you'll die." Lavender suddenly pushed her way between Ron and Harry.

"SO, Harry, who do you think this lucky girl is then?" Lavender said with a smirk.

Harry shook his head

"I'm not really in the mood Lavender, I've got to get to the library,"

Lavender's eyes widened,

"It's Hermione!, She's the one." Harry sighed and pushed past Lavender, and started to make his way towards the library as quickly as possible. He could still hear Lavender telling Ron that Harry and Hermione would make the perfect couple, but what Harry didn't notice was the nasty looks that Ron was throwing in his direction.

Harry entered the library, he found Hermione sitting at one of the table. He was shocked to find that she was asleep, her resting on her folded arms. Suppressing a smile Harry gently tucked a strand of her brown hair behind her ear and whispered 'Hermione' in her ear, his fingertips grazed her cheek.

"Hermione!"

She blinked awake, and slowly she realized where she was and who was standing in front of her.

"You okay Hermione?" Harry asked her as she hid a yawn behind her hand.

"Yes, I guess I just dozed off. I stayed up most of last night studying for the O.W.L.S." Harry tried to stop his eyes from rolling, but Hermione noticed.

"Harry I'm just trying to get a head start on revision, I want to do my best on these exams. Harry smiled at her.

"I've got a feeling that you'll do brilliant Hermione, now if it's no problem I'd like to escort you to lunch," Harry said holding out a hand to help her up from the seat. Smiling Hermione took the offered hand and allowed Harry to pull her to her feet. He waited patiently while she packed away her books into her bag, and then together they walked to the great hall.

"So, Harry how bad was Divination?" Hermione asked they took their seats beside Ron who was stuffing his face with a Cornish pasty, Ron broke into a grin and before Harry could stop him, Ron blurted out.

"Trelawney said that Harry's going to find love this year." Hermione nearly choked on her pumpkin juice she was drinking, Harry glared at Ron.

"Why don't you just tell the whole school Ron!", Hermione smiled and laid a warm hand on Harry's arm.

"At least it better than she saying that you're going to die some horrible death."

After lunch the Fifth year Gryffindor's had a study period in the library, Harry was sitting next to Hermione and Ron with a large pile of homework in front of him, but Harry was finding it hard to concentrate. He kept thinking about Professor's Trelawney's prediction and he couldn't help but wondered about who this young girl was. He looked across the room and saw that Cho Chang was sitting with a group of Ravenclaws. Harry stood, Hermione looked at him.

"Where you going?" She whispered.

"To talk to someone for a moment."

Hermione watched as Harry made his way over to where a group of 6th year Ravenclaws were sitting, she watched as Harry tapped a pretty girl with straight black hair on the shoulder, The girl looked at Harry and smiled.

"Hello Cho" Harry said, Cho looked at him

"Oh hello Harry is there something I can help you with?" She asked him.

"Is this seat taken?" Harry asked, across the room Hermione was still watching them with interest,

"Ron is that the Ravenclaw seeker?" She asked Ron, Ron looked across the Room and nodded

"Yeah, her name is Cho Chang, Harry fancied her in the fourth year!" Hermione felt her stomach fill with lead,

"What about now?" does he still like her?" Ron shrugged his shoulders.

"He hasn't said anything as yet about her."

"I guess I'll see you around Cho" Harry said leaving the table and heading back towards Ron and Hermione, he found that when he talked to Cho the funny feeling that had been there last year was gone, He didn't see Cho in the light like he used to. He sat back down opposite Hermione, who for some strange reason was strange reason was staring right at him.

"What!?" he asked.

Hermione shook her head and went back to the book in front of her. Harry looked again around the room thinking to himself.

"So who is this mystery girl then?" he asked himself, and then rolled his eyes

"Know my luck it will be Moaning Myrtle"
