Chapter 1: What on earth is wrong with me?!

There is definitely DEFINITELY something wrong with this exam. What is this! How on earth can I get a C for Charms?! That is like, so not me! Charms is my favorite subject and I have never even, ever in my life gotten even a B before, let alone C! What is wrong with me?!

There's nothing wrong with you my dear. You're just, let's say, not yourself these few days.

These few DAYS?! You mean weeks...I KNOW there's something wrong with me!

No darling, there's nothing wrong with you at all. It's just this phase you've been going through. See, you're already in your 7th year, it's time for you to stop um...say, it's time for you to start noticing things around you. Okay, let's just say...

Stop beating around the bush! Tell me tell me tell me, just tell me what's wrong with me?!

Okay, I'll say...you're in love.

WHAT?!

Hermione snaps out of her thoughts, runs over to the sink in her gigantic prefect bathroom, and splashes cold water all face. Muttering to herself, more of reprimanding herself as she does so.

"Ugh! Damn it! This stupid angel-devil talk inside me is doing me no good at all! Ok, Hermione Granger. Look here, you got a problem. The problem is that your grades are dropping, way low, lower than usual. And you got to solve it. You know it's because of a certain someone that you didn't use to put in mind. But now, face the facts; you're beginning to like him. No, not in that way, in a way that, like, you want to get his attention, you want to...ugh! I'm even talking to myself now. What is THIS WORLD COMING TO?! Harry Potter! Why do this to me?! I admit, it's because of you my grades are dropping!"

At this stage, Hermione was screaming so loud that the merman sleeping in the portrait by the bathtub woke up, gave her a sour look and swam off into the sea. There were hot, angry tears forming in her eyes. Hermione felt a mixture of confusion for she is not sure if Harry likes her as a sister or as something more; anger for being so weak as she practically chose failing her exam over thinking about a guy (even worse, her meant to be"brother"); and helplessness for not knowing what to do next. Hermione has had crushes before, but not to the extend that she loses concentration in her classes and actually cries over a guy.

From the bedroom, Crookshanks was purring and scratching at the bathroom door, trying to get Hermione's attention. Hermione splashed more water onto her face, wiped it clean, made sure it doesn't show that she has been crying, and went out to see what Crookshanks wanted. "Crookshanks, okay, I'm here! What do you—" Hermione's sentence was cut short with surprise when she saw where, no, when she saw WHO Crookshanks was sitting on.
