A Heart's Dream

"Hey, Gin, mind scooting over a bit, I'm a bit warm,"

"Oh, sure, Harry."

"Thanks,"

"Finally," he thought. "Why couldn't I have sat next to Hermione? I bet she wanted to sit by Ron."
At dinner Ginny again sat next to Harry, and Ron next to Hermione.

"Does she ever stop talking?" thought Harry as he looked across the table and saw Ron and Hermione whispering.
“Hey, what are you two whispering about? It’s not very polite you know,” said Harry jokingly, though he was somewhat upset
about it.

“I was just asking Hermione if she would join me in a butter beer tonight and shag me senseless,” replied Ron with a smile.

“Yes, and I politely denied the request, being the first night and all,” said Hermione, following Ron’s lead though she could
barely contain herself.

“Oh, alright then,” said Harry with a fake grin before Ginny again began babbling.

Harry began to zone out, only hearing the slight mumble that was Ginny. He couldn't help but glance at Hermione.
"How can someone be so beautiful and not even know it? Look at her, she even looks cute when she eats a
cream-puff, and nobody looks cute eating a cream-puff."

Just then everyone got up and began filing out of The Great Hall, and Ginny grabbed Harry and took him out as well.

"Here we go again. Where's Hermione?"

He looked back to see her look behind herself as well.

"Hermione, hurry up!" he called.

“I’m coming!” she replied.

She stared into those green eyes once again feeling her mind at ease, and felt his hands slowly move up and down her
back, causing her body to tingle all over. A small smile appeared on his face and he slowly moved in closer until their
lips were only an inch apart. She could feel his warm breath, as she held her own and then their lips met. She parted
her lips slightly to welcome his tongue. She used her own tongue to explore his sweet mouth, she was in heaven. He kissed so passionately, she couldn’t get enough. When he finally stopped she gasped for air, before feeling him slowly kissing her neck and releasing a slight moan of pleasure.

“Hermione!” said Ginny.

“Huh?” replied Hermione as she slowly opened her eyes.

“Are you coming to breakfast or not? Harry and Ron have been waiting a good fifteen minutes!”

“Tell them I’ll be just a minute!”

One of the few problems of having your own room was that you didn't have any noisy roommates to wake you up as they
struggle to get ready. And Hermione did have her own room, as she had been pronounced Head Girl this year.
Hermione quickly readied herself while thinking over her dream. It had been the best one yet, though it HAD been interrupted,
as the other had. She quickly headed downstairs to find Ginny hanging all over Harry. "Damn her!" she thought.

"Hey Hermione!" they called together.

"Morning, all," she replied. "Shall we all head to breakfast, then? I'm starving." She would sit next to Harry this morning, she had already made up her mind...but how to do it?

As they entered the Great Hall she tugged at his robes and pretended she couldn't believe how good the food looked.

"Looks the same as usual to me," said Harry.

Her plan had worked, though Ginny looked disappointed, she sat next to her brother without complaint.

"Well I think it looks great!" said Hermione.

"Yea me too!" said Ron with glee, though Ron would eat almost anything.

Harry moved his lips near Hermione's ear, causing her the shiver "Thanks, I needed a break from Ginny."

Hermione merely smiled and nodded, it was all she could manage after Harry had come so close to her. "Maybe he doesn't
feel anything for her!"

Her thoughts then drifted to her dream again. It had been so wonderful and it had lasted longer.

"Harry would be amazing. STOP! But...his lips look so kissable and...NO. He is your best friend. Do you want to risk
everything you have with him? I don't know. I, Hermione Granger, don't know."

"So what's our first class today Hermione?" said Ron after washing down some bacon with a large gulp of Pumpkin Juice.

"Let me check....ooooohhhh!"

"What?" said Harry and Ron together, sensing the disappointment in her voice.

"Double Potions with the Slytherins!"

"What a way to start off the year" said Harry with a frown, taking another bite of his toast.

Hermione couldn't help but sneak a glance at the Slytherin table. "Malfoy...he was a good...GREAT kisser. STOP! This is
DRACO MALFOY, he was not a good kisser! He is evil; he thinks you are beneath him. It was probably a dare or some stupid bet. Yes, that was why he kissed me...but it had been such a good kiss. Ugh!"

She had been hoping it would be longer before she had to have class with Malfoy. She had the deep suspicion that she would
have great difficulty concentrating in whatever class it may be. It was just her luck that it would be potions.

Harry had woken up somewhat early only to find Ron already awake.

"Hey Harry,"

"Mornin' Ron,"

"Harry, do you like Ginny?"

"Ron, we already went over this, I like Hermione."

"Okay, but you know Ginny's like in love with you right?"

"I know, I know. I can't help who I care about though. I mean Ginny's great, but she just doesn't give me the same feelings
Hermione does. You know?"

"Yea, I know. But don't hurt her, okay?"

"You know I wouldn't, intentionally."

"Yea, I know. Well you better get ready, I'm a bit hungry."

As they headed downstairs who else but Ginny was already waiting for them.

"Ready for breakfast, Harry?" said Ginny with a large grin on her face.

"Oh joy!" thought Harry.

"Yea. Where's Hermione?"

"She's not up yet, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind if we just..."

"I think we should get her. Leaving without her would be rather rude. Don't you think, Ron?"

"I suppose," said Ron, rather disappointed that he couldn't get his breakfast yet.

"Why don't you go and get her Ginny," said Harry.

"Alright," said Ginny with a little disappointment in her voice.

As Harry watched Ginny walk away he turned to Ron.

"Ron you need to talk to her,"

"About what?"

"I think you know what!"

"She's not going to talk to me about it. I can't talk to my sister about...guys, let alone you!"

"Please!"

"I can't, why don't you ask Hermione,"

"Fine then,"

Just then Ginny came back downstairs and was once again nearly on top of Harry.

"I don't know how much longer I can be polite about this. I need to talk to Hermione...soon."

"Hey Hermione!" they called together as Hermione came downstairs.

"Morning, all," she replied "Shall we all head to breakfast, then? I'm starving."

As they entered the Great Hall Hermione tugged at Harry's robes.

"The food looks amazing, don't you think?"

"Looks the same as usual to me," said Harry.

"Hermione, you're amazing!" thought Harry as Ginny sat next to Ron.

"Well I think it looks great!" said Hermione.

"Yea me too!" said Ron with glee, though Ron would eat almost anything.

"Thanks, I needed a break from Ginny," whispered Harry.

Hermione then smiled and nodded.

"Had he just saw Hermione tremble? No, I'm sure. She must have had a chill. She's so beautiful. How could she do that in five minutes? She was just as beautiful when she slept on the train. I wonder what she looks like in her bed? Hermione in bed..."

"So what's our first class today Hermione?" said Ron after washing down some bacon with a large gulp of Pumpkin Juice.

"Let me check....ooooohhhh!"

"What?" said Harry and Ron together, sensing the disappointment in her voice.

"Double Potions with the Slytherins!"

"What a way to start off the year" said Harry with a frown, taking another bite of his toast.

"Great!" thought Harry " I do get to get away from Ginny, but Double Potions...with Snape...and MALFOY! Ugh."
