Over the next few days y/n was feeling very, very off. If she was telling the truth the feeling arrived during summer.

When she saw Harry...

She remembered her feelings for Rory Ellington during the end of third year and the start of fourth year.

Her heart rate quickened at any contact weather is was physical or just a plain conversation, every time his name was mentioned she felt the blush creeping up her neck.

She was starting to recognise these feelings but whenever it came across her mind she shut it down immediately and denied it.

Apparently she wasn't very good at hiding these feelings either.

Or too Hermione of course.

Hermione knew her better then anyone and anyone knew that Hermione wasn't dumb.

Y/n knew her best friend was suspecting something when she approached her saying:

"Y/n?"

"Yeah?" Y/n answered her.

"Is there anything you need to tell me?" Hermione asked slowly.

Y/n caught her breath in her throat and blinked at her best friend a couple times before answering.

"No nothing, why?"

Hermione eyes her suspiciously "No reason, but you will tell me right?"

Y/n smiled "Of course."

Not

Y/n liked Hermione very much but she didn't want anyone knowing this piece of information just yet. Or at all.

The next night y/n waited with Ron and Hermione in the common room for Harry. Her has earned himself another detention with her during Care of Magical creatures.

Y/n had gotten essence of Murtlap for his cuts since Harry has finally told her what had been going on in those detentions.

Harry entered the common room and y/n gave him a soft smile

"Here," she said and pushed the murtlap towards him, "soak your hand in that, it's a solution of strained and pickled murtlap tentacles, it should help."

Harry placed his bleeding, aching hand into the bowl and experienced a wonderful feeling of relief.

"Thanks," he said gratefully, smiling at y/n.

Y/n had to turn her face to hide her blush.

"I still reckon you should complain about this," said Ron.

"No," said Harry blankly.

"McGonagall would go nuts if she knew —"

"Yeah, she probably would," said Harry. "And how long d'you reckon it'd take Umbridge to pass another Decree saying anyone who complains about the High Inquisitor gets sacked immediately?"
