We all know that Hermione went to Slughorn's party with Cormac McLaggen to make Ron jealous. But what if she didn't? What if she came to her senses in time and invited Harry instead? As friends of course.

(disclaimer: the events in this fanfic are not necessarily related to the events in the actual hbp, just for funsies :) ) It's Harry and Hermione's 6th year at Hogwarts, and they're starting to reconsider their feelings for each other...

What if Harry met Hermione before Ron? A quiet meeting, a growing bond, and a twist on the tale you thought you knew. As Hogwarts unfolds its secrets, Harry and Hermione grow closer - maybe a little too close. We wouldn't break up the Golden Trio... would we? Nah. Probably not. But this ride's going to be a little different - and pretty much interesting.

Mal and Ben's lives are perfect! Well, Ben thinks it is...Mal can't decide if she's right for him or not.

In the heart of the magical world, where spells are cast and secrets are kept, a story of love and destiny quietly unfolds between two souls who never expected it. From the moment they met, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger shared something unspoken, something that would grow in the shadows of their friendship, blossoming into something neither of them could have foreseen. Before they even set foot at Hogwarts, their paths had already intertwined in the most unexpected of ways. At just nine years old, Harry found himself escaping the cruelty of the Dursleys, seeking refuge in the warm embrace of Hermione's family. The Grangers became his sanctuary, offering him the love and care he had been deprived of for so long. Little did he know, this act of kindness would change everything. As they grew up together, side by side, their bond deepened. What began as a friendship, rooted in shared moments of laughter, struggle, and discovery, began to evolve into something more. In Hermione, Harry found a safe haven; in Harry, Hermione discovered a strength she never knew she had. Their connection was undeniable, though neither was brave enough to speak of it. The weight of their unspoken feelings pressed upon them, but both pushed forward, knowing their friendship was something that could never be broken. When they finally arrived at Hogwarts, the magical world opened before them in ways they never imagined. Together, they faced unimaginable challenges, from the perilous mysteries of the Chamber of Secrets to the dark forces that threatened their world. But through it all, the bond they shared only grew stronger. Every moment, every trial, brought them closer, even when the danger surrounding them seemed too much to bear.
