Summery: This all takes place in the fourth year, when Harry is asking Cho outto the Yule Ball. It has a little SLASH in it.

A New Beginning.

"Choiwasjustwonderingifyouwouldliketogototheballwithme?" Harry blurted out to her.

Cho looked at Harry; she didn't understand a word he said.

"Um I'm sorry I didn't catch that Harry" Cho said looking deep into Harry's eyes. Harry sighed and said.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the ball with me?" Harry piped out; he looked at Cho dreading her answer.

"O um Harry someone's already asked me, and I said I'd go with her" Cho said. Harry stuttered for a moment then looked at Cho.

"O, ok great, wait what, her, your going with a girl? Who?" Harry was really shocked.

"Um, you know her, Ginny, Ginny Weasley" Cho said, she started to move down the stairs, she then turned around and looked back at Harry.

"I really am sorry Harry" and then continued out into the snowy grounds, leaving the Owlery and a white stricken Harry their.

Harry entered Gryffindor Tower looking and feeling very shocked and very rejected. Hermione put her book down and ran to Harry.

"Harry what is it, what's happened?" asked Hermione looking up at Harry. Harry started to laugh, Hermione looked at him.

"Well I asked Cho out to the ball, and she told me" The portrait hole opened and Ron emerged, along with Ginny and a group of 3rd years. Hermione looked around at Ron who was white in the face, and was supported by Ginny and another 3rd year.

"He just asked Fleur Delacour out" Ginny said. Harry looked at Ginny; she looked at him but quickly turned her head.

"She said no of course?" asked Hermione looking from Ginny to Ron. Ron shock his head.

"She said YES?" Hermione gasped putting her hands around her mouth. Ron then nodded.

"Congratulations" Harry said shacking Ron's hand. Ron smiled up at Harry. Harry was now feeling really depressed, he hade no date for the ball and it was in 3 hours time.

"I'm going to the library" Harry said. Hermione looked at him. Little did Harry know Hermione was also without a date to the ball.

"I'll come with you" Hermione said, and they both said good bye to Ron and left Gryffindor Tower, and made their way down the corridor to the Library. Harry entered first and found a table for himself and Hermione. Hermione then came in, and out from behind a bookshelf Victor Krum strolled into view and walked up to Hermione. Harry saw this and had a feeling Victor was going to ask Hermione to the ball. Harry sprinted to Hermione and pulled her away from Victor Krum (who had just opened his mouth) and behind a bookshelf.

"HARRY, WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU?" Hermione snapped.

"Nothing, nothing, do you want to go to the ball with me?" Harry waited. Hermione was shocked, she didn't ever show it, but Hermione had liked Harry the moment she laid eyes on him, but Hermione felt sick in her stomach, she knew Harry had only just asked Cho out, and this made Hermione feel like the consolation prize, but she knew that she would be the only one without a date to the ball, so she said yes.

"Yes of course" she flung her arms around him, Harry did the same to her, somehow this felt so natural to the both of them. Harry knew this was going to be a good evening. Little did Hermione know that Victor Krum was just about to ask her out to the ball, Victor sighed and left the library.

Harry and Ron stood in the Entrance Hal waiting for their dates. Ron didn't know that Harry was going with Hermione, infact Ron didn't even ask if Harry got a date at all. Fleur suddenly entered the Entrance Hall.

"Ello Arry" she said, Fleur leaned over and kissed Harry on the cheek

"O and Von, ow handsome you look?" Fleur smiled and kissed him on the lips. Ron reacted slowly (as he was too dizzy with butterflies) Harry turned away as Fleur and Ron walked of to a group of Beauxbatons. Suddenly Professor McGonagall came through the Great Hall doors.

"Are you ready Potter?" she asked looking up and down at his dress robes.

"Ready Professor?" he asked. McGonagall looked shocked.

"Too dance, its tradition for the three champions, well in this case four, are the first to dance, surely I told you all this?" she said.

"Um no you didn't!" Harry sneered at her.

"O now you know, and were is you partner?" Professor McGonagall looked around the hall.

"She's coming" Harry reassured her.

"O there you are" and McGonagall left Harry. Neville turned up next to Harry; he was all red in the face.

"Hi Harry" he stuttered.

"Hi Neville, who are you going with?" Harry asked.

"You wouldn't know her, her names Luna, Luna Lovegood" Neville piped up.

"Um no I don't know her but" Harry stopped talking. Ginny and Cho entered the hall together, Harry looked at Cho, and then at Ginny. Cho and Ginny looked at Harry then quickly shuffled into the hall.

"Isn't she beautiful" Neville said.

"Yeah she is" Harry said, he looked over to Neville, who was looking behind. Harry turned and their was Hermione. Neville was right she was beautiful. Neville said a quick goodbye and walked up to Luna and kissed her on the hand. Harry couldn't take his eyes of Hermione. Her hair was straight and she was wearing lipstick and eyeliner. She had a glow around her. She was much prettier than Cho. Harry and Hermione met at the bottom of the stairs. He pulled her hand out and kissed it.

"You look beautiful" Harry said. Hermione blushed. She had been waiting for this for ages.

"You're very handsome yourself" Harry smiled while Hermione let out a small giggle. They locked arms and set of for the Great Hall. Someone quickly stepped ahead of them. It was Victor Krum, and he was holding Parvatie Patil's hand. The four champions entered the hall with their dates. Harry and Hermione were last. And when Ron and Fleur entered the dance floor, Ron looked over and saw Harry and Hermione together. Harry's hand was on her waist and her and on Harry's shoulder and their other hands were held together, they were looking into each others eyes. Ron's mouth was wide open.

"Von va you ok?" asked Fleur.

"Yeah I'm fine" He said he turned to Fleur and got into position.

"He's my best friend, and I thought you liked me" Ron blurted out to Hermione. The formal dancing was over and it was well into 3 o'clock in the morning. Harry had gone to the toilet, and Ron had his chance to have a go at Hermione.

"How dare you!" Hermione yelled back

"You don't love him" Ron blurted back, and he moved towards the doors.

"WHAT, WHAT THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK?" she screamed at Ron.

"YEAH THAT'S WHAT I THINK" Ron blurted out, now they were out in the Entrance Hall, and the couples were all looking at the to of them.

"WELL YOU KNOW THE SOLUTION THEN DON'T YOU?" Hermione said.

"WHAT?" Ron looked at Hermione.

"NEXT TIME YOU HAVE A PROBALEM WITH ME AND HARRY TALK TO US ABOUT IT, AND DON'T LEAVE YOUR DATE TO HEAR IT ALL" Hermione shouted. Ron looked over and say Fleur looking at the two of them.

"WELL THAT'S COMPLETELY OF THE POINT, HARRY" Ron bellowed. Hermione turned around and saw Harry waling into the hall.

"O Harry, Ron has something to say" Hermione glared at Ron tears were rolling down her eyes. None of them noticed Fleur, who had walked up and stood in the middle of this fight.

"Von does this Ermionee luve you?" she said.

"WHAT, WHAT HAVE YOU TOLD HER RON?" Hermione screamed more tears flew down her red and puffed checks. Ron didn't answer.

"HAVE YOU TOLD FLEUR THAT I LIKE YOU?" Hermione was now screaming.

"What's this all about?" Harry asked. Hermione stopped; she turned around to face Harry.

"Apparently Ron has told Fleur that I like him. Harry looked at her then at Ron. Hermione was now thinking great Harry doesn't like me now. She turned on Ron.

"RON YOU HAVE SPOIED EVERYTHING" Hermione screamed at him and then pushed him over, and ran out into the Entrance courtyard. Ron got up and turned to Fleur and Harry.

"They get scary when they get older" Harry just glared at him.

Fleur rounded on Ron next.

"Whoo do you like me or Ermionee?" Ron was lost for words. Fleur's hand suddenly came up and slapped Ron across the face.

"I will be in my Beauxbatons carriage when you have made up your mind. Fleur left the hall and walked down the sloppy lawns.

"Harry mate" Ron said.

"I'll talk to you later Ron, oh and by the way Ginny is a lesbian" and Harry walked off. Ron sat down on the step leading to the Grand staircase. He put his hand to his check were he had been slapped.

"That really hurt" he said.

Harry searched the carriages in the courtyard. He accidentally came across Ginny and Cho in one carriage, he noticed the glass was fogy, he walked away quickly. Harry found Hermione in the last carriage; it was fogged up two, but for a different reason. Harry opened the door and found Hermione, she was wet with tears, and her face was all red and puffed up. Harry got in and closed the door.

"O Harry, I don't like Ron I promise you" She wailed.

"Its ok, I know you don't like Ron" Harry said and he put his arm around her. Hermione leaned into his chest and listened to his heart beat.

"But Hermione, who do you like?" Harry waited. Hermione's heart skipped a beat.

"You" Hermione felt Harry's heart race. He looked into Hermione's eyes and leant down to capture her lips. The kiss was soft and tender, Hermione moaned when Harry dough his tongue into Hermione's mouth. She dragged Harry on top off herself. They continued to kiss, getting more passionate and rough. Hermione felt Harry's dick grow, and he started rocking his hips into Hermione's entrance. Hermione gasped and Harry lent up and took his robe off. Meanwhile Hermione shock her shoes of. Harry lent down and kissed Hermione again, on the lips, then along her jaw line, then down onto her chest. Harry grasped her breast but couldn't massage it because of her dress and bra. Hermione then started to unbutton Harry's shirt, once she had torn it off. She traced her hand around one of his nipples. Harry closed his eyes. Hermione pulled on the hard nipple and made it erect. Harry moaned and thrustd his hips a bit faster into Hermione. They were both panting. Hermione then started to rub the bulge in Harry's pants. Harry moaned and undid the button to his jeans, but then stopped. Hermione stopped rubbing Harry's bulge.

"I'm sorry, but were going way too fast" Harry said butting up his jeans, and picking up his shirt.

"Yeah I agree" Hermione panted. "Lets take it slow, so are we boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Harry looked at her. "Of course" Harry smiled, and they hugged each other. Harry cleared his thought and said.

"Do you want to come to Hogsmade with me next weekend?" Hermione smiled and whispered in his ear. "Yes"

Harry and Hermione made their way up to the tower together arm in arm. And on the way Hermione said to Harry.

"I like Ron I do, but only as a friend, but he thinks I do like him"

"Don't worry we'll sort it out" Harry said "But there is something you should know"

Harry told Hermione what he was going to say before Ron came into the portrait hall. "Yeah Ginny told me she has liked you for ages, but she said she also like some girls" Hermione said. Harry let her go through the portrait hole first. The common room was dead quiet; most people were still in the Great Hall. Harry spotted Ron by the armchair. Harry kissed Hermione good bye, and she went up to the girl's dormitory.

"Ron, Hermione and I like each other a lot" Ron didn't say anything.

"And Hermione says she dose like, only as a friend" Harry said sitting next to Ron.

"I know that, I just got a shock when I saw you two together" Ron admitted.

"Yeah, look go down and speak to Fleur, she really does like you, and I think you like her two" Ron blushed.

"Yeah I do like her" and he got up, but before he left her turned to Harry.

"Tell Hermione I'm really sorry, and say I only told Fleur about our friendship, but you know Fleur, she's French can't understand us that much" and Ron left the common room. Harry smiled and stumbled up to the boy's dormitory.

Ron reached the Beauxbatons carriages, he knocked on the door, and Fleur opened it.

"O it's vouy" she said.

"Hey, I've just come to tell you that I want to be with you, I don't love Hermione, were just really good mates, its you I love"

"O VON!" she shouted and she jumped down and kissed Ron on the lips. Then she pulled him into the carriage. They talked for hours until the sun rose. Ron exited the carriage and walked up the sloppy lawns.

Harry woke up to a load bang in the common room below, he opened his eyes, and saw a note on his bedside table.

Dear Harry,

See you in the Great Hall for breakfast.

Love you Hermione xxooxx

Harry smiled. He knew, he no longer loved Cho, all along he loved Hermione, he just had to wake up first to see it.

Notes:

I hope everyone liked this fic. I might write a sequel, it would be based in their 6th year, so they can have sex then.
