Harry's POV

She ran out of the closet and all I could do was stare after her. It was crazy how some time in a closet couold change someones perception of people. it was crazy how much I wanted to chase after her. I glared at my friends wishing that lasers could come out of my eyes. I had no idea why though. It's not like I enjoyed spending time in a closet with a cowering, nice, warm... no...I did not just think that. Oh My God. I did.

Hermione's POV

"Turtle"

I let out a sigh as I finally made it to the safety of my room. My heart was pounding and I didn't know what to do. I felt relief as I saw crookshanks enter the room, he always made me feel better. He jumped on my bed and I grabbed him for a cuddle my face hidden in his fur.

'What's wrong kitten?'

All I could do was shake my head, I didn't want to talk about it. He let it go and I couldn't help but feel grateful that I had probably one of the smartest cats in the world. I fell asleep to his purring and dreamt of emerald green eyes.

Harry's POV

She was avoiding me...I mean us and that was not working out. I... We are not to be avoided, WE do the avoiding and her she was avioding m...US. She was very good at it too. It was like she new where I was going to be before I did. I couldn't help but feel some pride at that fact no matter how annoying not finding her was. It was time for some desperate measures. I headed towards the library a place she usually inhabited. I stopped in front of the doors, took a deep breath, and entered the lionesses den.

It didn't take very long to find her, I just searched for a head of bushy hair surrounded by a bunch of books. I apprached slowly not wanting to scare her, my steps were quiet and agile, I didn't want her to run while I was so far away. I was getting closing in, just a liitle bit more, than she looked up and I froze. I spent so much time looking for her, wanting to talk to her, and I had just barely realized that I had no idea what I was going to say. All I could do was stare now, her chocolate brown eyes slowly turning darker in confusion and I willed myself to speak.

"Hi"

At that moment I couldn't help but wonder when I became so pathetic.

Hermione's POV

Someone was coming towerds me but I ignored it. Studying was me time. Studying was escape and I needed an escape, now. I was avoiding them again, especially emerald eyes, but it was harder this time. It felt like he was everywhere and if I didn't know any better I would say that he was stalking me. At least he would be if I wasn't avoiding him. Any way, someone was coming toward me but I ignored it, at leastI tried but that someone was coming to close. Way way to close. I looked up and saw emerald eyes staring at me. It became quiet, not the usual library quiet but something deeper. He continued to stare at me and I didn't know what to do. I was hypnotised by his eyes, he didn't say anything either. At least not for a while, At least not until he said one word that pulled me out of my daze.

"Hi"

My heart skipped a beat and it suddenly felt hot to me. Why did I feel like this? Why did HE make me feel like this? I didn't like it and I wanted it to stop but I didn't know how. I wanted to tell him to go away.

"Hi"

When did it become so difficult to speak. I had a good vocabulry, I had an amazing vocabulary so why couldn't I just tell him to go away. Why couldn't I get my heart to stop beating so hard in my chest. Why couldn't I stop the butterflies raving in my chest. He continued to speak.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

I could hear the concern in his voice and I could see it in his eyes. It made me feel warm and wanted. All I could do was nod though.

"Can I sit here?"

Again all I could do was nod because that warm feeling seemed to encompass me entirely. My tongue seemed to big for my mouth. I looked down and pretended to study waiting for the seat in front of me to move. He sat next to me and I tensed. That warm feeling was gone. He was too close and we were alone. My reflexes kicked in and I did my best to curl myself into a ball while seated in a small chair. He was too close and I didn't know what to do.

So I came back. I can't promise a whole bunch of updates but I can promise it won't be years between them. I just want to thank everyone that still favorited and reviewed my stories while I was away. You guys are amazing.
