It was a dark, stormy night at Hogwarts Witch Craft and Wizardry. Harry, Ron, & Hermione were sitting at their house tables. It was a brand new year, with all new feelings. Harry Potter was now recognizing Hermione more than ever. Ever sense he found a picture of them from their first year at Hogwarts. It was him and her sitting in the common room doing their homework. It was something about that picture that made him realize his true feelings for Hermione. She was so beautiful, the way her brown eyes glistened.

   "Uh, Harry? Is there something wrong?" Hermione asked. Harry had been staring at Hermione for the past few minutes with drule running down his cheek.

   "Oh, um," He blushed, "Nothings wrong,"

   After dinner, Harry, Ron, & Hermione walked over to the common room to put their things in the dormitories. As Harry was walking up, he decided that he would tell Ron about his feelings for Hermione. As Harry was about to tell Ron about Hermione, a new student named Alexander was walking out the door. Alexander was very handsome, he had a perfect body along with Blond hair that would put any girl under a spell.

   "Hello," he said with a deep soothing voice. "I'm Alexander, and I'm new here."

“Hi I'm Harry,''

“Nice to meet you,” Alexander said in his deep voice. “I was just off to the common room,” he said. “But I'll see you guys around,” Ron & Harry watched him walk away.

“Nice guy,” Ron said.

After Ron & Harry had put their stuff into the dormitories, then they went downstairs into the common room. Alexander was sitting down in front of the fireplace, when Hermione came down as well. How beautiful she looked.... Harry just couldn't stop staring. But then suddenly, a deep voice interrupted his daydream. Alexander had walked up to them and was asking them who Hermione was.

“Who's that?” Alexander asked curiously. Automatically, Harry knew exactly what was going on.

“Uh.... I don't know who that is,” Harry said.

“Of course you know who that is!” Ron said stupidly. “We've only known her for the past few years! That's Hermione!”

“Hermione,” Alexander repeated, “Hermione.”

Harry had felt his heart sink when Alexander walked over to Hermione to introduce himself.

“Hi, I'm Alexander. This is my first year at Hogwarts.” He said kissing Hermione's hand.

Hermione giggled.

“Well, thank you,” Hermione said. “I hope i will be seeing you around. Harry was so upset his face started turning red and it felt like there was steam pouring from his ears.

“Is there something wrong Harry?” Ron asked.

“I need to talk to you alone.” Harry demanded. Harry dragged Ron to the corner of the common room while Hermione continued to flirt with Alexander.

“I like Hermione! Harry blurted out.

“Sense when is this?” Ron said very surprised.

“A few days before I came to Hogwarts, I found a picture of me and Hermione from our first year at Hogwarts. We were doing our homework together in this very common room. Something about that picture made my heart ache for her. Ever sense then, all i can do is gaze into her beautiful brown eyes.”

“Well, that's way to deep for me, but i think you should tell her before she gets 'involved' with that Alexander guy.” Ron said.

“Your right,” Harry replied. “I need to tell her before it's to late.” Unfortunately for Harry, it was already to late. As Harry was walking over, he saw Alexander give Hermione a huge hug and said he would see her tomorrow. Harry's heart ripped in half. He was to late. True love would never be. Harry was so upset he started to sob right on Hermione's shoulder.

“What's wrong?” Hermione questioned obviously very concerned.

“Nothing,” Harry quivered.

“Well, I hope you get better,” Hermione said walking up to her dormitory. Harry watched her go thinking about what could have been.

“The next morning, Harry was so depressed that he could barely pull himself out of bed. He pulled on his clothes, and walked down to breakfast with Ron. When they had gotten there, Hermione was eating with Alexander, obviously flirting. Harry wanted to rip out Alexander's Blond hair, and take away his deep soothing voice.

“Hi,” Harry muttered to Hermione.

“Oh, hi,” Hermione said. Alexander and i wanted to get an early start on breakfast. I wanted to wait, but we were really hungry. Sorry,” She apologized.

“Whatever,” Harry whispered. 2 minutes later, Hermione broke the silence and asked if anybody wanted to go to the library.

“I'll pass,” Harry pouted.

“I'll go,” Alexander replied soothingly. Harry was very upset about Hermione and Alexander going to the library together, so he followed them. At the library door, Alexander stopped Hermione in her tracks.

“I have to ask you something,” He said nervously.

“Sure what is it?”

“Would you like to be my girlfriend?” He asked nervously.

“I would love to.” She said kissing him on the cheek. Harry flushed. He hadn't realized that it would happen so fast. He had to tell her no matter if she was with Alexander or not.

“Hermione! Hermione!” Harry yelled. “I need to talk to you alone.”

“Um, okay. Excuse us Alexander. What's wrong” Hermione asked.

“There's something I've been meaning to tell you for the past few days. I know your with Alexander, but I, I” Harry studdered, “Love you!”

“You what?” She asked very surprised.

“Ever sense I found a picture of me and you in the common room, all i can do is stare at your beautiful face,”

“Uh, I'm a little confused right now, I'll talk to you later,” As she ran back to her dormitory with Alexander trailing behind her.

A New Day, a Worse Day

Harry had felt a little better knowing that Hermione knew about his feelings for her. He wasn't sure though, if she thought of them as just friends. He would have to wait to find out.

All Harry could do was sit in the common room and think about Hermione. Suddenly, Hermione walked down from her dormitory with a unsure face on.

“I don't know if I think of you as just a friend, but for now, let's just forget this ever happened.” She said sadly. Alexander walked down, and gave Hermione a kiss. Harry blushed.

“Hello,” he said to Harry & Hermione. “How is everyone?”

“Oh, I'm just great,” Harry said sarcastically.

“Well, I'm going down to breakfast. Would you like to join me Hermione?”

“I would love to,” She said dreamily.

“I think I'll go two,” Harry said.

As Harry, Alexander, & Hermione walked down to breakfast, they ran into a 6^th year student named Seidra. Seidra was very skinny with brunette hair and big blue eyes.

“Hi, I'm Seidra, I was wondering, do any of you know where the gryffindor common room is? I just got her this morning.”

“To the left and go straight,” Hermione said. Harry thought that Seidra wasn't half bad looking for a 6^th year.

“Oh, and one more thing, I was wondering if you wanted to be my guide around campus for a few days.” Seidra said to Harry.

“Uh, whatever. See you guys later,” Harry said to Hermione & Alexander. Harry didn't want to leave those two alone, but he had no choice.

“So, how long have you been going to Hogwarts?” She asked.

“Ever sense first year,” Harry replied.

“What's your name again?” Seidra asked

“Harry, Harry Potter.” Harry told her.

“Holy cricket! Your Harry Potter!” She screamed. “You have been my role model for the past 3 years! I wish i could do everything you do!” She said.

“Ya, can we drop the subject?” Harry asked.

“Oh, um, okay.” She said disappointedly. After she had put her stuff in the girl's dormitory, her and Harry walked down to breakfast. Harry's heart sank even more when he saw Hermione & Alexander snogging. Jealously filled every bone in his body. He pulled in Seidra close, and gave her a kiss on the lips. Hermione pulled away from Alexander staring straight at Seidra & Harry. As Harry let go, Hermione ran by them crying.

“Wow Harry. We're just friends,” Seidra said. Seidra looked back at Hermione. I better go talk to her,” She said. Harry went and sat down next to Alexander feeling horrible about what he had done.

Harry was sitting in the common room almost crying about how upset he had made Hermione. That very second, Hermione returned from her dormitory. Alexander walked up to her and gave her a hug. Surprisingly, Hermione pushed him away.

“Alexander, I like you, I like you a lot, but I don't think you can be with me anymore,” She said quietly.

“It's Harry isn't it?” Alexander said sadly. “Just forget it. See you around,” Alexander said running up to his dormitory. Hermione and walked over to Harry.

“Seidra told me you aren't with her, and it was out of jealousy.” Hermione told him.

“Well, uh, um, well, sorta.” Harry studdered. It's okay, for the last few days, I've realized my true feeling for you. When you kissed Seidra, I.... I wanted to rip her hair out.” Harry chuckled.

“You like me? Really?”

“Ya, I do. I do.” Harry leaned in, and kissed Hermione passionately on the lips. Hermione rapped her arms around Harry, and he rapped is around her waist. Hours past by, then Hermione broke the kiss. They both blushed.

“I guess this means that we're boyfriend girlfriend. Harry said.

“Ya, it does.”
