Chapter: 1 Thoughts locked in my Head

“ I do not love Harry!” Hermione yelled.

“ Hermione, why won't you tell us?” Ron asked. “ We know you have something for him”.

“ Why do you think this, Ron I do not love him,” she answered. “ You know I bet Ginny will believe me if I ask her”.

“ Who knows” Ron said starting to laugh.

“ Err, what do you mean?” she asked.

“ You will see” Ron said.

Hermione took the stairs all the way back to her dorm to ask Ginny.

“ What you don't believe me?” she asked anxiously. “Why?”

“ It's just the way you talk to him and act around him, it is so obvious. Tell me the truth” Ginny demanded.

“ Okay, okay I like him, but I also have another secret”.

“ You love him, never mind what's the other secret?” she asked curiously.

“ Fine, I'll tell you, in my head I have all these strange thoughts and they keep bothering me”

“ Well what are the thoughts? That is some times the most important thing”

“ That's the thing, they're different, sometimes its people making me confess, sometimes me confessing to Harry that I love him right in front of him and sometimes me saying that I hate Harry. I just don't get it and I can't escape it. I hate this!” Hermione said madly.

“ I bet you do, but what is your main thought? That is also very important” Ginny explained.

“ I know, my main thought is me confessing to…

Ginny stopped her by saying the same word at the same time.

“ Harry?” she said.

“ Yeah”

“ It could mean that you need to tell Harry that. I won't tell your secret to anyone, but if you really love him you need to tell him not me!” Ginny said very clearly.

“ Okay, alright but how?” she asked looking the other way.

“ You will figure it out, but if you still need help I'm here for you”

Hermione would just spend only the rest of the day sitting in her bed in the girls' dorm, only trying to figure out how to work all this out.

` I feel alone, only with Harry do I feel free. She said in her head to herself. “Now I feel also warned or something. What am I to do?” Hermione asked herself.

“ Hermione?” Harry said knocking on the door. ”Aren't you coming with me and Ron to dinner?” Harry asked.

“Uh! Yeah, coming. Just a moment Harry” Hermione called out.

“Finally, What took you so long?”

“Just thinking,” she answered.

By the time the got to dinner, when Hermione was just about to sit down Ginny grabbed her from her seat.

“ What?” Hermione asked.

“ Err, I told, but only to Ron” Ginny said.

“ What, why? Ron is Harry's best friend he will tell Harry. I can't believe you did that,” she said angrily.

“ Come on Hermione, everyone knows how you feel about Harry”

“ Yeah, but, did you tell Ron about the thoughts I've been having, speak honestly.

“ Well a little this a little of that, I only told him the thought of where you were confessing to everyone” Ginny explained.

“ That's good, thanks a little”, She said. “ Go, I need to ask Ron a couple of things”

“Are you mad at me?” Ginny asked.

“Maybe a little” Hermione answered. “Okay, go I need to talk to him” she replied.

“ Ron I need to talk to you” Hermione ordered.

“ What is it, can't it wait?” he asked.

“ Will you please come with me?”

Hermione took Ron by the hand and dragged him into the hallway.

“ What, what?”

“ I know Ginny told you but what did she really tell you?”

“ She told me that one thought, and that you love him. Don't worry I won't tell Harry, but I doubt that you can tell Harry in 5 days, if you can't tell him in five days I will” he said clearly.

“ Fine” she shouted with a low voice.

“ Okay, starting tomorrow” Ron replied.

“ Alright, your on” she said with a sigh.

When they got back to the table Harry asked them the same question about three times.

“ Guys, what where you doing back there tell me please?”

“ Sorry Harry, we can't tell you, but you will find out soon enough” Ron replied.

Hermione only glared at Ron for the rest of the night, also of how it will be exactly when she tells Harry. No way does she want Ron to tell Harry. Then he'll rub it in her face forever.

“ No way is he doing that!” Hermione said yelling at herself.

Words: 1,073

Chapter: 2 Day one

“ Hermione, wake up!” Ginny yelled.

“ What, what time is it?” she asked.

“ It's eleven thirty, you slept in two extra hours. You are lucky we get today off” Ginny explained.

“ Sorry, I've just been having some thoughts again, I for some reason couldn't open my eyes, no matter what” she apologized.

“It's fine. So what are you going to do?” she asked.

“ Huh?”

“ Ron kind of told me all about it” Ginny replied.

Ron!” Hermione said staring into space.

“ Forget about Ron. So do you have any idea's to get Harry?” she asked.

“Give me a second” Hermione replied. ”Oh, I can just tell him”

“ Or, we can give him a love week” Ginny said.

“ Huh, a love week, Ginny?” Hermione asked curiously.

“ We can give him a love week, you can try to make him fall in love with you. Then tell him sometime in these five days” Ginny explained.

“When in the week?” Hermione asked.

“ When the time is right, do not just pick sometime in the week, I always do it when the time is right, okay?” Ginny explained.

“ I guess your right, I'll do my best to make him fall I love with me. Besides Ron, your brother will not tell Harry, no way!” she said barely yelling. “ Okay I better go then”

Hermione was taking a walk around the school, when she found Harry in a field near Hagrid's Hut. She put a smile on her face and hopped over to him.

“ Hi Harry”, she said while smiling.

“ Hey, so what's up, did you pass the stupid poisons test professor Snape gave you?” he asked.

“ Yeah, so what's with you?” Hermione asked.

“ I'm trying to find out what Ron is talking about” Harry replied.

“ He did not tell you did he?” she asked with her eyes growing big.

“ Tell me what?” Harry asked suspiciously.

“ Uh, nothing, will you excuse me? I haft to go!” Hermione said swiftly fast.

Hermione traveled across Hogwarts trying to find Ron. Then found him again in the hallway, then pulled him away from the wall. “ Ron, Ron, promise me you will not tell Harry till the end of the week, Harry is getting really suspicious. Do not tell Harry or I will beat your guts out myself. Okay” Hermione said angrily.

Backing away from Hermione with a face on look, he was creeped out, by Hermione. “ Agreed, okay” Ron said nervously.

“ Good” Hermione replied happily.

Hermione was hoping around the castle cheerfully, hoping she would be able to tell Harry, maybe she would tell him today. She caught Harry in the great hall, having dinner and also studying for a test. She came up to him, patting him on the shoulder. Ginny was there to see if Hermione was embarrassing herself. “ Hi Harry” Hermione giggled.

“Oh, hey” Harry answered back. Still suspicious.

“Okay, Hermione seriously what is going on, I know something is going on, tell me” Harry demanded.

“ Harry, just wait you will find out sometime this week. I promise” Hermione smiled.

Ron while Hermione was talking, Ron thought she was going to tell him. Ron was happy for a second, smiling, moving his head up and down.

“Okay, I'll tell. Harry, you want to go on a walk?” Hermione asked.

“What?” Harry asked also.

“Do you?” Hermione asked hoping he would say.

“ Sure, okay” Harry answered. “ Lets go”

Harry and Hermione took a much longer time than they thought they would, instead of going around the castle, they went on Harry's broom and went into the forest that Harry would always walk into after a rough day. They spent about three hours walking and talking.

“ Oh, Harry this is wonderful, I don't think you have ever taken me here before. I like it here, here it's relaxing, and peaceful” Hermione said gracefully.

“ I'm glad you like it, every time I was in a bad mood Hedwig and I would head out here and watch the sun and Hogwarts, I know it seems a little weird but to me, yes it's relaxing” Harry smiled.

“ I don't think it stupid or dumb, it think it is graceful. Do you think other times we can come out here again?” Hermione asked hoping to hear a yes.

“ You know, that does sound like a great idea” Harry answered.

Harry and Hermione were having a such a great time, they lost track of time, and realized it was getting dark,. “ Oh my god, Harry we have to go, now” Hermione said.

“ Oh my god, we do” Harry said shocked.

Harry and Hermione raced back to Hogwarts, they thought they would get in trouble, though they weren't., but thye still had to run back to the common room. Hermione went up to the her dorm and she saw Ginny waiting for her.

“ So?” Ginny asked.

“ What?” Hermione asked curiously.

“ You know what”

“ I am sorry I don't” Hermione said.

“ What I mean is, why are you home so late. I know you did something to be home this late. Tell me!” Ginny demanded.

“ Okay, all we did was take a ride on Harry's broom, then he took me to a special forest that he likes to go” Hermione said.

“The dark Forest?” Ginny asked anxiously.

“ No, it was a different forest, one you could relax and have peace on. It was wonderful” Hermione laughed.

“ So did you try to kiss him?” Ginny asked very suspicious.

“ No I didn't try to kiss him, but I wanted to” Hermione whined. “You know what, I got to go and get something downstairs real quick”

While Hermione was walking down the stairs, she noticed Ron staring at her smiling. “ Well, how did it go, did you kiss?” Ron asked with a sharp voice.

“ No! But maybe something will happen tomorrow. I swear Ron you will not be the one to tell Harry, I will. So don't get your hopes up okay” Hermione replied annoyed. “ Oh, I promise you Ron, you are warned”

Chapter 3: Caught you in time

“So gotten him yet?” Ron asked, while giggling.

“Shut up” Hermione smiled.

“You only have four days left”

“Yeah I know” Hermione said.

“ I myself have already met someone I love, in only three days”; Ron said, trying to make Hermione jealous.

“What does that haft to do with this?” Hermione moaned.

“ Never mind. So what are you doing tonight? Just going to run to Harry?” Ron Said annoyingly.

“Well, wait. Do I haft to tell you?”

“Um, yes” Ron laughed.

“Jerk” Hermione said angrily.

“You'll get over it and move on” Ron said

Hermione smirked.

Exiting the room Ron told Hermione something she would never get a date for.

“Don't forget, you need a dance to the ball,” Ron shouted.

“I'll get one” Hermione shouted back.

Hermione headed back to the common room, for a reason, she felt like she was stood up. Until Harry came into the room.

“Hey Hermione” Harry said.

“ Hey”

“Mione, are you alright?”

“I don't know, right now its just oquard”

“Well we can cheer that up. I was wondering if you would like to go with me to”-

“I'd love too,” Hermione said cheerfully.

“ Okay, it's settled. You'll go with me again to the woods. Only this time I was thinking we could go where, you know it's at the top of the mountain. Where we can see all of Hogwarts. I thought you might like it up there” Harry said happily.

“I think I would like it up there. So tomorrow?”

“ No tonight”

“Sure” she said.

Harry and Hermione headed up to where they've once gone before.

“ Is this Safe? I mean just walking around at night”; Hermione asked shaking.

“ Don't worry, if something bad happens I'll protect you. Don't be afraid” Harry smiled.

“ Harry, that's real sweet of you” Hermione laughed.

“ I know”

“Of course you do”

Harry and Hermione were taking a walk they could never forget.

Harry and both Hermione, they didn't realize with them together, that night, they saw things like none other. Peaceful animals, and like an animal, such as Buck Beak Harry remembered from his third year, saw the same animal, and wanted to see if that creature trusted him.

Harry took steps toward the creature, then pretty much freaking Hermione out.

“Harry what are you doing” Hermione whispered.

“Stay right here, I'll be right back”

Harry pointed his finger towards the creature, showing her.

“ No, come on Harry it's late” Hermione begged.

Harry stepped toward the animal, and feeling happy he bowed toward the creature, waiting for a bow back. The creature bow it's head down.

Harry knew the creature was gentle, stepping slowly. The creature let Harry come forward. Harry started petting.

“ Hermione, come here. Trust me” Harry smiled.

Hermione smirked.

Harry chuckled. “Come on. It's okay”

Hermione stepped toward Harry. Harry placed her hand, slowly moving it back and forth on the creature.

Harry and Hermione exited that area, and headed off somewhere else.

**

Hermione for a second had the strangest feeling her and Harry was going the wrong way.

“H-Harry, are you sure we're going the right way” Hermione asked, starting to get creped out a lot.

“Shh, look over there, it's the womping willow”

“Really”

“What do you mean really. You should be able to see it” Harry said shockingly.

“Sorry, it's just that, it's late, I'm tired” Hermione said with heavy eyes.

Harry noticed a medium sized tree that him and both Hermione could rest under for a couple of minutes.

Harry showed hermione and pointed.

“Mione, look there's a tree, I think we can just rest under it for a couple of minutes, then you'll be at least able to walk some more” Harry chuckled.

“Yeah, lets go” Hermione said also chuckling.

Harry and Hermione made their way over to the tree, and sat down for a couple of minutes. Harry and Hermione did nothing but smile at each other.

By accident after about two minutes, Harry found Hermione sleeping on his shoulder. Harry didn't know why he did, but had the thought that one night outside hogwarts would be okay. Harry rested his head onto Hermione's and instantly fell asleep.

**

By time when morning came, Harry saw nothing but a bright light shining at him.

“Mione, wakeup”

“What was is it”

Hermione noticed she was sitting on grass, looked to her left, and nothing but Harry and gave herself a small scream. “Augh!”

“Why are you here with me, on the grass in daylight” Hermione asked for a good answer.

“I'm sorry but we must have fell a sleep. What I remember is that, we sat down, you fell a sleep on me. I fell a sleep on you” Harry said disappointed in himself.

“Oh god”

“We need to get back to the common room. Now” Harry said.

Harry and Hermione trailed back to hogwarts with only steps left to get to the common room.

**

When Harry and Hermione entered the room. Harry went to his side, same with Hermione.

As Hermione entered hers and went to her bed. She turned herself to the right, and saw Ginny smirking at her.

“You bad girl” Ginny replied. “You stayed out all night, with Harry”

“We lost track of time, and accidentally fell a sleep”

“You fell a sleep”

“Not like that, fell a sleep”

“Fine, Hey! Did you kiss each other, or did he ask you to the ball. If he didn't he should've”

“Neither”

“What is wrong with that boy?”

“I don't know but we got to get to class. Now” Hermione answered.

A/N: I don't think this chapter was my best, but if you thought it was good, leave a review, and please continue to read. Thanks!!!

Chapter 4: Tired

“Hermione!” Ginny yelled, getting ready for the worst teacher, when Hermione would be in trouble with the worst of them all. “Hermione!”

“ Come on, what do you want?” Hermione said pale. With nothing but tiredness, and needed sleep.

“Hermione there is always nothing that makes you this tired” Ginny replied.

There were bangs on the door with Ron urging to go. “Hermione are you coming or not?” Harry had a call right after Ron.

“Yeah come on Hermione, we got Snape today, and as always he has a test waiting for us, and as always it's a horrible test, then he gives me the worst” Harry called, just about getting ready to leave.

“Okay, just give me a minute”

**

As the three walked down to professor Snapes, Harry and Hermione would not look at each other at all. Ron asked. “What's with you two, you won't even look at each other?”

“Don't know” Hermione answered.

By time the three of them reached Snapes. Professor Snape had already had a test going on. Snape smirked and said. “Nice of you to join us, hopefully you won't haft to cheat. Being late is sometimes a failing grade” Snape snarled.

“Sorry sir” Ron answered back.

“Don't let it happen again”; Snape snarled.

“Yes sir” Hermione repeated quietly, sitting down next to Harry.

Harry had noticed that when Hermione came to sit down next to him, she could see, that she was shaking with fear, and barely couldn't be able t write her name the right way. Hermione wrote her name the right way, though, now she couldn't even barely put down an answer, sitting down next to Harry, it made her terrified.

Harry bent over slowly; trying to make sure Snape didn't see him. Slowly started talking to Hermione. “Hermione we need to talk, after class, will you?”

Hermione gave him no answer.

“ Hermione please?”

“Wouldn't be cheating now would you Mr. Potter” Snape popped out of the open, giving Harry a dirty look, Snape smirked at Harry. “ I guess, you better, only a take a chance to look at your own test. Or would you prefer a fail” Snape suited.

Harry's heart jumped, along with Hermione's. The words Snape had said, it frightened Hermione as she might also get a failing grade.

“Oh, so-sorry sir” Said Harry.

**

Class had almost finished, and like so, Hermione was always the first to end a test, even the hardest. And as usual, Hermione, when finished a test, she would stop to read a book, or something like that. This time Hermione instead of a book, she drifted off into a deep sleep, without even noticing.

A dream Hermione started off with was, that for the moment that she had told Harry, and it looked to her like she was very frightened. She had remembered her exact words that she had said to Harry. “Yes Harry, yes it's true. It's true, yes I love you” Hermione repeated.

Hermione heard a strange noise of pattern in her ear, which went like. “Tic, tic, tic, tic”; Repeatedly.

Snape had been saying that awful pattern to Hermione's ear, with Harry staring quite frantically at Hermione.

Hermione opened her eyes, feeling stupid that she fell asleep.

She looked to her left, and saw Snape sneering at her. “Oh, professor, I'm so sorry”

“You don't know how lucky you are that you finished your bloody test” Snape glared.

***

As the children left back into the halls, Hermione couldn't help, but start to look at Harry.

“Harry, I'm so sorry about this morning, but it was a bit of a shock to me” Hermione with a slight smile.

“Don't worry about it, our main thing right now is just to keep from telling other people” Harry said also bringing up a slight smile.

A/N: Thanks, I know this chapter didn't seem as interesting, but I promise you, you will like the next chapter.

Chapter 5: Truth to Fate

Days had passed, Hermione's time was running out, she only had a number of three days left to tell Harry the truth.

Ron had quite found someone he started he started love, a young, beautiful woman. Luna! He seemed to be surprised to how fast he started to love this person. He had simply decided to try to impress Hermione.

As Hermione was walking down the halls, same as Luna. Ron had suddenly ended up there out of nowhere. “Luna?”

“Yes” Luna said, Swiftly turned to look at Ron, with a smile on he face, Ron thought she looked awfully beautiful

With the smile of hers. Her smile, Ron thought was like blossoms of flowers.

“ I was won-, okay I know we don't talk much often, but I was wondering if you would like to go to the ball with me?” Ron said, every sound in a word came to a stop.

Luna looked ay Ron and was flattered. “Ron, I don't know what to say”

Ron leaned forward. “How about yes” Ron said also flattered.

“Okay, yes” Luna repeated continuously giggling.

***

Hermione strolled down the castle looking for Harry, so she could sit next to him at dinner. Now she was hoping what she was trying to accomplice, she hoped she would succeed. She really started to want to kiss Harry, really badly.

Just as she crossed the stairs, Harry was right behind her, and slowly touched her shoulder, Hermione's heart jumped. “ God!” she screamed. “Oh, Harry, it's just you, so ready to go to supper?”

“Ready, and waiting”

***

Harry and Hermione passed through the halls to the great hall.

“Hey, did you hear, that Ron asked Luna to go to the ball with him” Hermione asked.

“He did, really, I didn't know” Harry answered back.

“Hey, when we get back to the common room, I need to ask you something” Hermione said. Hermione was hoping to ask if Harry wanted to go with her, to see her parents over Christmas break.

***

Now that Hermione has been spending a couple of days with Harry, she was urging to know when she would fess up. Besides, she also needed Harry to ask her to the ball. For the ball this year, the guys would ask the girls. So Hermione was sure hoping Harry would fess up quick. The ball was on the last day of Hermione's week.

Hermione decided that, if Harry was to ask her to the ball, she was planning to tell Harry right after the ball.

Harry and Hermione took their seats waiting for Dumbledore to start the feast. After the feast would begin, and after it ended, Hermione would take Harry back to the common room, to ask if he wanted to go with her, to see her parents over Christmas break. Christmas break was only in a two and a half weeks.

Hermione had noticed how Ron was noticing Luna at the Ravenclaw table, and how he kept smiling at her. Hermione went over, and pulled him away to talk to him.

“Hey, hey, and hey” Ron yelled.

“ Hey, you seemed to get to her really quickly, did you kiss her?” Hermione asked suspiciously.

“ No, I didn't kiss her, but I'm planning to”

Hermione smirked.

***

After supper, Hermione took Harry back to the common room, to ask him.

She sat him sat, and she sat down next to him. And she completely repeated what she had asked. “Hey, Harry, do you think maybe, would you to. What I'm trying to say is that, would you like to spend Christmas with my family and me. If you do, it's okay with my parents, I sent them an owl telling about it, and they said “yes”, they would be more then welcome to have you for Christmas” Hermione exclaimed. She took a sigh, with a big smile on her face, hoping that Harry would choose the right answer.

Harry chose. “I, I choose….. Yes! Of course I will go with you” Harry sound very excited.

Hermione sounded even more excited, and wanted to start packing now!

Like so, being very excited about something, Hermione couldn't really say something seriously.

***

Two hours past, and both Harry and Hermione were half way packing through their luggage. Hermione only wanted to pack so early because, usually there is something she thinks she is forgetting, when really she has it.

Hermione has gotten very curious to why the owl she had sent had never returned, though two minutes later her owl came back, it was from DombleDore. “Why did DumbleDore send me this letter, oh well. Hey Harry, look, DumbleDore sent me a letter, lets see what it says” Hermione said interested.

It had written on the letter, in famous British Cursive.

Dear Hermione Granger,

I'm sorry, but your parents have not yet received this letter, and they never will. I'm so sorry to say this, but while your parents were driving themselves home, a car had seemed to pull in front of them, as I say, this person was drunk, and your parents had survival f the minimum to 30 minutes, but I'm terribly sorry to say this, but after the 30 minutes of survival, your parents did not seem to make it. I'm so sorry I had to be the one to tell you!

Albuss DumbleDore

Hermione had starred at that letter, with eyes so in shock, and she was breathing hard enough almost not being able to breath. She had dropped the letter, and Harry was getting so curious he continuously repeated. “Hermione?”

Hermione had starred with shock, and fainted flat on her back. Harry could see the wetness in her eyes as she was under conscious.

A/N: I hoped you guys enjoyed this chapter, I really enjoyed writing it, just waiting for the suspense. Thanks! Please leave me a review!!!

Chapter 6: A time Alone

Before moments of when Hermione had fainted, Harry was thinking if she could go to the ball with him. He was hoping now that he loved Hermione, she would go with him.

Harry was hoping Hermione wasn't in a coma; he had gotten a wet cloth to try to see to wake up Hermione.

“Hermione?” Harry said, a soothing a voice had been put up with his words.

Hermione had slowly opened her eyes, and for moments, she had been taking her hand and had been rubbing the wetness out her eyes. She had moved her head, and was now looking at Harry standing there, and Harry could see the pale face on her.

Hermione took off the freezing, wet cloth Harry had placed on her, and begun to sit up, with still her eyes wet and her face pale.

“Hermione, are you alright? You fainted” Harry said curiously.

“It was just something. If you don't mind, will you please leave I need a minute alone” Hermione sobbed.

“Why?” Harry looked deeply into Hermione's eyes, just thinking why she was begging him to go away.

“Get out!” Hermione had been screaming at Harry to leave at once, she almost thought she would have to use force or witchcraft.

Harry refused to leave, and noticed that just looking at Hermione had him to know that she wanted him gone. Harry turned away and left the room.

Hermione kept looking till Harry left. When Harry left, she turned her head swiftly fast to the other direction, and started running up to her bed in tears.

Hermione had now felt as if she did not want to wake up from faint. She didn't want Harry to now wake her up.

Hermione mostly didn't understand what happened, and she wanted to know the truth. She had made her way to head master's office, Dumbledore, she had hidden her face from everyone to let not let the students know of the tears she had.

***

She made her way up the stairs and into Dumbledore's office.

“Aw, Ms. Granger, care to join me?” Dumbledore had a happy smile on his face with joy to see a student.

“Sure, but what I came for, I had to know about the letter you sent me” Hermione stared at Dumbldore waiting for an answer.

“Very well, I am sorry I had to send you that letter” Dumbledore got out of his seat, and slowly moved towards Hermione. “Yes I would feel of fate as well. But, because of this fate, you do not have to be in school for a week.

“No! That's okay; I'll just take one day off. I just need to know the entire truth”

“What was written on that letter, it was the most of it, no more I can tell you. Your parents wanted to tell you, they knew you would be accepted to Hogwarts, there is another part I can not say that they wished to tell you, they told me if it was ever to come to this, I would be the one to tell, though they told me to wait to the seventh year of Hogwarts for you”

“Why”

“I can not say, don't worry only one year to wait”

“Not to be rude but, I'm in this petrified moment of my parents death and you can't tell me a bloody thing!” Hermione was screaming with her lungs, and was furious to not have all the answers.

“I can say no more” Dumbledore turned away, and immediately left the room, not looking back.

***

Hermione started her way back to the common room she had left.

And once again Harry passed her looking at her to know what was wrong. Harry pulled Hermione aside and spoke.

“Hermione, are you alright? I'm worried about you”

“I don't need to talk to someone right now” Hermione turned away, and left Harry stranded in the halls.

“Hermione!” Hermione kept on walking giving, Harry no answer.

Harry feared for Hermione.

***

Ron was walking along the way Hermione had been and Ron walked right into Hermione's face. “Do you have a date to the ball yet?”

Hermione had given Ron the same answer as she gave Harry. “I don't need to talk to someone right now”

Harry had thought if no one was there to talk to him, he might as well go back to the common room.

***

Hermione had something she did not realize. After she screamed at Harry for him to leave, she left the letter on the desk in the middle of the room.

Once Harry had opened the door to the common room, he saw the note Hermione had read. Harry got very interested to know what the letter said. So… Harry made his way to the desk, and started to open the letter Hermione had read. As he read he noticed a bit of scare in him, and most of the words he was reading he thought shouldn't have been there. After he finished the letter he also knew, what he just read terrified him. He had now known why Hermione wanted to be alone.

Harry felt that if Ron was his and Hermione's best friend, he should know, and after knowing what had happened, he didn't want Ron fouling around with Hermione at a time like this.

***

Harry had tried looking everywhere.

Harry had seen Ron and Luna Sitting together in the cold snow outside of Hogwarts School. Harry pulled Ron aside, away from Luna.

“Hey what do you want?” Ron was urging to get Harry off of him.

“Ron, listen very closely, what I'm about to tell you, you must promise not to tell anyone else. Promise?”

“Okay Harry, what is it?”

“Ron, I don't know how to tell you this, but Hermione's parents died, in a car crash”

“Oh no” Ron felt frightened as Harry did before.

“What are we going to do?” Ron asked as if still frightened.

“We just need to keep calm with Hermione now” Harry said.

“Okay”
