We both looked towards Ron nervously, he looked very angry. Harry quickly moved his hand from my stomach and I pulled down my shirt.

"Well?" Ron asks angrily

"Um....I was just....just" Harry started to babble so I cut him off to explain

"Harry was just helping me with something, it's none of your business. So if you don't mind, I would appreciate if you would leave!" I asked raising my voice

"This is my dorm. If you two want to snog go somewhere else!" He yells

"Ron just leave for a bit. We're not snogging, i promise. She needed help with something" I asked him once again, this time a bit nicer

Ron then storms off mumbling something to himself.

"You didn't have to do that" Harry says calmly

"I know but he shouldn't have yelled at us" I said as i lifted my shirt up again allowing Harry to complete the healing charm, his hand moved to my my waist causing butterflies in my stomach once again

"There you go all better. Now it's late and I'm sure the girls are wondering where you are" Harry says helping me up

"What if i don't want to leave?" I asked him getting more comfortable on the bed

"Well you can always stay here....but i don't know how Ron would feel about that" He says lightly laughing, before i could respond we heard knocking on the door

Knock knock

"Hey are you two done yet because we are tired. I know you two want your privacy but it's really late" Dean says, i can heard the laughing coming from outside the door

"That's just great" I walked over and opened the door to see the guys

"Hello boys sorry to keep you waiting, Goodnight Harry. I will see you tomorrow, and thank you for the help" I tell him before winking,

I was just messing around but it was funny to see the reactions from the boys. I then left for my dormitory ignoring the obvious stares most of guys are giving me.

Harry's pov

Since she left Seamus and Dean have been bombarding me with questions. Ron seems to be ignoring me and Neville well he is just acting like Neville.

"Nothing happened" I try to explain

"That's not what Ron said. We saw her wink at you, and what kind of help was she talking about?" Dean asks raising his eyebrows

Without another word i got dressed and went to sleep. I hope Hermione is okay. I really like her...i think as more than a friend.

The next morning...

I walked into the great hall to see Hermione already sitting there eating. I walked over to her and took a seat next to her.

"Hey"

"Hey Harry! How are you?" She asks as I grabbed some biscuits and jam

"Fine. So did any of the girls bother you last night? Because all the guys wouldn't leave me alone. You winking didn't help things either" I tell her causing her to giggle

"Yes. Ginny especially. You know she has a giant crush on you right? She doesn't hesitate to make it known either"

"Well now I do" I never would have thought she liked me

"They were all just asking me questions about you and wondering why your hand was up my shirt? I'm pretty sure everyone thinks you were trying to feel me up or something. Sorry about the whole winking thing, i was just messing with them, it's none of there business what goes on with us" She says laughing

"Anyways are you excited for lessons?" I asked changing the topic

"Yes. Come on i want to get there early. Finish your food on the way" Hermione says briskly walking out of the great hall. I quickly finished eating before following her

We got to defense against the dark arts and Hermione took her usual seat in front. I sat right next to her as all the students started coming in.

"My name is professor Moody....ex auror as most of you know. Welcome to defense against the dark arts, Now to begin who knows the unforgivable curses" He asks just before drinking out of this flask

"Imperious curse....sir" Hermione answers

He then displays the curse by cursing a spider and making it jump across the room. At first it was funny until he places it in front of Neville.

"What's the next unforgivable curse?"

"Cruciatus curse" Neville answers

He asked Neville to stand up in front of the class as he was trying to display the next curse. I could see Neville breathing heavily and starting to shake. I was worried what would happen next, but something stops the professor.

"Stop it! Can't you see what that's doing to him!" Hermione yells

"Well Ms.Granger....how about you tell me the last unforgivable curse" Moody asks rather darkly

She doesn't answer as Moody places the spider in front of us.

"Avada Kedvara" Professor Moody mumbles instantly killing the spider, Hermione just looks away and grabs my hand underneath the desk

"Killing curse. No one has ever suvived it....except for you Mr.Potter" He finally says before walking away

Harry's pov

I see Hermione rush out of the room and walked straight to the common room. I followed her making sure she was okay.

"How could he perform those curses in a room full of students? What's wrong with him? And then he singled you out. How could he be so cruel to you and to Neville!" Hermione yells towards me

"Hey it's okay" I pull her into a hug

We just stayed there for a while before heading to our next class. After classes I had quidditch practice and i asked Hermione to come and watch, which she was eager to do since learning so much about the sport.

Throughout practice I kept seeing the looks from Hermione cheering me on. For some reason her being there was making me play better, even Oliver said so. After practice it was time for dinner. Hermione and I went to the great hall and all Ron would talk about was Professor Moody.

"He actually knows what he talking about and he has the experience. He is amazing" Ron boasted

"No he is not. How could he preform deadly curses in a classroom?" Hermione asks him

"It's fine. He wouldn't hurt us. Plus Harry already survived the killing curse so it probably wouldn't effect him if Moody did the spell again" Ron says in a matter a fact tone, this sets Hermione off

Rather than yell at Ron like she wanted to, she left for the common room. I wanted to say something to him but I needed to go check on her. I walked to the common room so see her sitting on the couch.

"Ignore Ron. He can be a git sometimes" I said trying to cheer her up

"Yeah I know. He just makes me so mad sometimes. He is being incredibly insensitive to you. It's like he doesn't understand what happened to you" She explains as I took a seat next to her

"So do you want to play some wizard chess with me? It will take your mind off of it"

"Sure"

Hermione and I spent almost 2 hours playing wizard chess and it's official. We are the worst players ever. Even our peices are getting mad at us. We decided to call it a night before heading back over by the fire.

"So I was wondering if you would wear my jumper during the quidditch games?"

"Sure. But why?"

"Everyone on the team was saying I was playing better and they all think you're my lucky charm or something. You don't have to but I would...."

"Harry I already said i would" She says interrupting me

"Good. Now do you want to sleep or spend some more time here?" I ask

"Here" She responds laying her head on my chest and i places my arms around her waist.

"Is this okay? Me laying with you like this?" She asks quietly

"Of course. We're....best friends" I tell her

We both laid down like that for awhile until I felt myself starting to get tired. I looked down to notice Hermione is already sleeping, without moving her I quickly changed positions and moved her so she is laying right on top of me. I then fell asleep holding her the rest of the night.
