Harry, Ron, and Hermione were relaxing by the lake.
"I'm bored." Ron complained.
"Me too." Said Harry. He looked over at Hermione. "What're you...?"
She had her head buried in a novel. "Hmm? Oh, nothing."
Luna Lovegood saw them, blushed when she noticed Ron, but walked over.
Ron's ears went red.
"Hi." Luna said, brightly.
"Hi." Said Harry, Ron, and Hermione in unison.
"Why don't you come join us, Luna?" Hermione suggested.
Ron shot Hermione a quick glance.
"Um, sure." Luna said.
Harry immediately, and embarrassingly scooting closer to Hermione.
Luna sat down between Harry and Ron. Ron blushed when he felt Luna's arm brush against his. She got out the Quibbler. Hermione didn't mind the closeness. In fact, she quite liked the closeness and secretly enjoyed it. She felt Harry's eyes on her as she read her book. When Hermione looked up, their lips were inches apart.
"Um..."
"Sorry." Harry muttered.
"I-It's okay..."
Both of them thought what WOULD'VE happen if Ron and Luna weren't there.
"So...uh...how's the Quibbler, Luna?" Ron asked.
"It's going fine." She smiled-Ron loved it when she smiled. "It's been great. Alot of people are reading now that I've posted some of my artwork."
"Artwork? You draw?"
"Yes...drawing is my passion, Ron." She gazed into space.
"So what have you drawn?"
"Self-portraits...flowers...Crumplehorn Snorkacks..."
"Really?"
"Yes. I can uh...draw you if you want me too."
"Sure."
"Right now?"
"Yeah."
They both got up, leaving Harry and Hermione alone.
Hermione closed her book. "Harry..." She began.
"Yes?" He asked, slightly leaning in towards her.
"Um..." She lost her train of thought. "How's Quidditch?"
"Uh...It's fine. Yeah, I guess."
Hermione was so nervous. She groaned. "UHH I can't TAKE it anymore!"
"What, Hermione, what's going on?"
"I have to tell you something."
She stood up. Harry did too.
"Hermione-"
Hermione pulled him by the hand back to the castle. Then, when no one was watching, she burst in the Room of Requirement.
