Chapter Five

As usual I woke up before everyone else. I fell into the shower and slipped my robes on. I went down the stairs, hunger stabbing my stomach. I was so busy thinking about how Ron will be this morning, whether he will eat that I didn't see the person coming down the steps from the boys dorm. I looked up to walk into something hard. The whole pile of books that I was balancing in my arms dropped to the floor.
"Sorry!" We apologised at the same time. He helped me pick my books up and handed them to me. I looked up for the first time. I immediately went red, bright red. He was amazing, he had messy brown hair with captivating brown eyes, you could see his muscles underneath his T-shirt and his smile, don't even get me started on his smile.
"Hermione Granger, right?" How on earth did a gorgeous boy like this know my name?!
"Yeah." I just about made out. "How did you...?" I trailed off.
"Well you are all over the newspapers" he said. Me, Harry, Ron and everyone who had been involved had been crowded with journalists every second of the day, some kids were even asking for autographs. I went red.
"Right. Yeah..."
"Still getting used to it huh?" He smiled.
"Yeah, I guess so" I smiled back. I couldn't thing of anything to say next. He opened his mouth to say something but we were interrupted by footsteps coming down the stairs from the boys dorm. It was Ron and Harry. My heart beat fast and a frantic expression whipped across my face. I have no idea why I was fretting so much, I mean, he isn't my boyfriend and even if he was it was just talking to a boy, nothing wrong with that.
"I'll see you later okay?" I asked, he looked puzzled but just in time he said "yeah sure, okay" and he walked away.
"Who was that?" Harry asked.
"Nobody" and I realised I didn't actually know his name.
