*~*The Dream*~*

The day began like any other. Harry awoke to the sound of Dudley complaining that his bacon was undercooked. Harry slipped out of his bed and wiped the sleep from his eyes. He ran his hand through his untidy hair while he yawned and went downstairs.

Aunt Petunia still had her hair in curlers and Uncle Vernon was reading the morning paper. Apparently Dudley didn't mind his bacon not being up to par because he had eaten all that was on his plate and had started on Uncle Vernon's. Harry just stared at the scene in the kitchen, turned around, and went back into his bedroom.

Only one more weekend. Then I get to go back to Hogwarts, Harry thought to himself. He laid there on his bed remembering the good times he had at Hogwarts and thinking of the good times to come. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep again.

~The Dream~

He was on the Hogwarts Express heading back to school. He felt awkward not sitting with Ron and Hermione when, just then, Hermione came into the compartment and sat next to him.

"Hey Hermione, it's good to see you. Where's Ron?"

"Ugh, he's not here."

"What?! Where is he then? Is he okay? He is not coming back to school??!!" Harry spat out.

"Calm down Sparky!" Hermione didn't seem upset at all. Actually, she seemed totally unlike herself. "Who cares anyway?"

"Hermione! He's our best friend!"

"No, he just got in the way..."

Harry snapped his head to stare at Hermione with disbelief just to find that she was staring back at him. "What are you talking about..."Harry started but Hermione interrupted by putting a finger to his mouth. Harry drew his head back and gave Hermione another look of disbelief.

"I've been waiting for this moment since forever." Hermione leaned in to kiss Harry but he jumped up and backed into the other side of the wall in their compartment. He seemed to just realize that he was alone with Hermione.

"Hermione, what the hell are you doing?" was all Harry could say. But Hermione didn't answer him. She just walked towards him slowly. Before Harry knew what was happening, she had pressed herself up against him and started to kiss him. But the kiss never ended because...

Harry woke with a start. He sat up in his bed and looked around the room as if to make sure no one was watching him.

"Whoa!"
