A Hand To Hold (1)

Part 7

So everyone knows about Harry and I. There is nothing to know, we fell alseep on the couch that's it. So far in every class none of the guys are talking to me or looking at me, and come to think of it none of them will even come near me. I don't understand do I have something on my face or something?

I'm currently sitting in herbology, and sadly Harry isn't in this class, he is probably at quidditch practice or in ancient runes. We are currently getting lectured on something i already know, and I am too busy focusing on Harry to even listen to the teacher. I saw Neville looking at me but when I looked back he quickly looked away. What the hell!

"Lavender, Parvati? Why are all the guys ignoring me today?" I asked both the girls finally fed up with this

"They all think Harry is gonna hex them if they get too close to you. Everyone thinks you two are dating, and knowing Harry Potter he is the jealous type. All the guys know not to mess with you since no one wants to endure the wrath of Harry Potter. But don't worry most people think you two are cute together, so they wouldn't mess with you two anyways" Lavender explains laughing a bit

"We aren't dating and Harry would never hurt anyone. He is kind and gentle" I tell them starting to get lost in thought thinking about him

"Don't worry it will blow over Hermione" I see them shrug and walk away

I can't wait for this class to be over. I knew telling the girls, everyone would know by dinner. Hopefully I can have some normalcy from now on.

Later at dinner....

I was messing around with my food when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Hermione. Are you okay?" Harry asks worryingly

"No. Every guy in school is ignoring me, they won't even look at me" I explained

I'm not really used to guys looking at me in any way. But they all seem to avoid even standing near me.

"Why?"

"They think you will hex them if they come close to me, talk to me or even at look me in any way. Apparently you have this ever lasting dibs on me that doesn't allow other guys to come near me. But don't worry since they think we're so cute together, they won't bother us anyways" I told him, Harry starts to laugh a bit

"If any guys come near you or touch you in any way. I will hex them" Harry says seriously, he then begins laughing again

"Stop it's not funny. Boys don't look at me anyways but at least they would acknowledge my existence" I said starting to get upset

"Hermione. I won't hurt every guy that looks at you....I mean how could they not look at you" Harry exclaims, he instanly goes red after saying that

"Oh....um....thanks" I felt my face get warm instantly

"Yeah" Harry says awkwardly

After an awkward silence Dumbledore falls for everyone's attention.

"Attention students! We have the honor of hosting a very important event this year. The Twizard Tournament!"

After a round of applause Dumbledore begins speaking again.

"And as an added bonus we have the honor of having two schools come to join us....first introducing the ladies from Beauxbatons!"

A group a ladies walking into the great hall dressed in light blue dresses. I looked around to see all of the guys falling head over heels for them as they did their magic. Every guy in the room looks at them like they never seen a girl before, well except for Harry. Ron is practically falling out of his seat at the sight of them. I'm not jealous or anything....they aren't that pretty. What am I talking about they are all so gorgeous, i bet they're all veelas, it's the only explanation.

"Next the men from dumstrang!"

Next thing i know all these strong men run in the hall performing some sort of music that required them throwing things and making a lot of noise. I heard Ron starting to yell as Viktor Krum walks in. I looked towards him and he winks at me? Why would he do that?

"It's Viktor Krum!" Ron yells

"Ronald. Stop yelling!" I scold him

After everyone is seated Dumbledore tells us the rules. Nobody under 17 can enter, that's a good thing because I have heard people can die in this competition. Most people including Ron starts complaining and whining. Harry says he wouldn't want to enter, but I could see the look in his eyes. I know if he actually had the opportunity he probably would enter the tournament. After dinner we all left to our rooms but Harry stops me before I can go.

"Hermione. Are you okay? I saw Krum wink at you" He says sounding a bit jealous

"He just winked Harry that's it. I thought you said that you won't hurt every guy that looks at me" I reminded him

"You're right. Maybe I was jealous. It's just I don't like the way he was looking at you Hermione"

"Don't worry Harry. I promise the only guy i ever notice is you" I told him pulling him in for a quick hug

After saying goodnight i went to my dorm. When i walked in i saw Ginny sitting on my bed, she sometimes sleeps in here because she doesn't like her roommates.

"Ginny are you okay? What are you doing up in the fourth year dorms?"

"Do you have a crush on Harry? I mean you two fell asleep together on the couch and i just heard what you said to him" She asks rather bluntly

"No. He is just a friend" I tell her

I hate lying to Ginny since she is one of my best friends and i should tell her the truth, but i know how upset she would get.

"Good" She says happily before heading out of the room

I got changed for bed and finally laid down. I closed my eyes and started thinking of Harry, it was my last thought before I fell alseep and into a dream state.

.......

Today is the day. I get to marry the man of my dreams. I, Hermione Granger am marrying Harry Potter. I slowly walk down the isle to see my friends and family around. I look and see him waiting for me at the end.

He looks so handsome in his suit. Once I reach the end he takes his hands in mine.

"You look beautiful" he tells me

"Thank you"

"Friends and Family. We have gathered around today to celebrate the marriage of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. We know these two were perfect for eachother from the start, so lets not waste anytime...the vows" The minister says

Harry and I begin saying the ever so sweet words. I feel the tears in my eyes as he says just how much he loves me, so many years ago I never thought we would ever have this. But we made it. Once were finished we exchange the rings, I look down at my ring to see such a large diamond. I don't deserve something like this, but Harry insisted.

"Do you two take eachother to have and hold for as long as you both shall live?" The minister asks

"I don't. Hermione I can't do this! I still love Ginny. I'm sorry" He says sadly as he runs away from me

He left me at the alter...how could he do something like that.

......

I sat up quickly praying that it was just a dream. I looked around my room to see everyone is still asleep, thank merlin it wasn't real. Why would i have a dream like that?

Trying to not to think to hard about it, I quickly closed my eyes and fell back asleep hoping that i won't have that dream again.
