Harry sits next to Hermione who has been crying; a few blue birds are twittering happily around her head. Harry sits next to her and waits patiently for her to talk.
Hermione wipes her eyes and turns to him. "Is this what it feels like? When you see Ginny with Dean?"
Harry nods. "Yeah, something like it."
Giggling can be heard and Ron and another girl come around the corner.
"Oh sorry," Says the girl still smiling. Ron looks a little troubled seeing Hermione's tears. "Looks like this spots taken." She tries to pull Ron away who stays behind.
"She's something else isn't she?" Ron says trying to make light of the situation.
Hermione stands and sends the birds at Ron where they magically dissappear without hitting him. She turns and leaves.

Harry's walking down the hall at Hogwarts. Statues and suits of armor are either felled or damaged. Hermione and Ron are with him both carrying what look to be fangs.
"Shouldnt we tell them to get out?" Ron's speaking. "We don't want another Dobbie, it wouldn't be right to ask them to die for us."
There's a squeal of delight and a clatter and Hermione's running to Ron. She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses the red-headed boy on the mouth. Ron in turn drops what he's holding and puts his arms around Hermione returning the kiss and picking her off her feet.]
[Harry wakes up with a troubled look on his face. He tries to smooth back his messy hair but it doesn't do any good as usual.]
