Harry hadn't felt this way about a person in a long time, forever in fact. Sure there had been Cho Chang 2 years ago, but that had ended last year. Of course there was Ginny just a few months ago. He thought he had felt Love for them, but that was Until last week when he had felt true love. True Love for Hermione Granger.

They had just been doing Homework. That was all. Hermione had been leaning over Harry's Shoulder to correct his mistakes. Harry turned to ask her a question when he got a face full of her hair. At first he went to push it away but stopped when he took his first sniff. He was the best smell he had ever encountered! Lavender, with Aloe Vera. And a hint of orange. He started to breath through his nose to capture as much of the scent as possible. All too soon Hermione pulled her hair back asking

"What? Do you have a question?" Harry stared at her open mouthed. He had finally seen her true beauty. She was gorgeous. The hottest thing he had ever seen. Her beautiful blue eyes. Her lips. He wanted to reach up and kiss those red lips but resisted. She didn't love him, she loved Ron. He had finally come to his senses and said

"no question, I'm good." and had continued with his homework.

Today he got up enough of a nerve to walk up to Hermione in the Gryffindor common room and ask

"Want to go for a walk?" she looked up at him, smiled and said

"sure!" she got up and lead the way out of the common room onto the grand staircase. She asked

"Any reason why you want to walk with me. Alone?" Harry replied

"well, er, yeah, how are you? Ron wise I mean."

"I'm ok, you know, living on and all that. I almost don't care anymore." they barely noticed that they had entered the seventh floor.

"well you see there is something I want to ask you." Harry said nervously. Hermione smiled saying

"Yes?"

"well I was wondering if you would, Merlins beard! It's the room of requirements!" Hermione spun around and there it was. A door that wasn't normally there.

"Shall we go in?" she asked. With out an answer she walked and opened the door, Harry followed. He gasped when he got inside. It was an empty room with just one thing in it. A King sized Bed. Hermione Walked up to it and Harry followed.

"Did you wish for this too?" she asked.

"well, a, a, a little." stammered Harry. Hermione laughed and jumped onto Harry, wrapping her legs around his body and her arms around his neck. Harry wrapped his arms around her. She whispered

"I love you" and pushed her lips against his. She started to kiss hungrily and he replied with the same enthusiasm. He backed up slowly and fell backwards onto the Bed. Hermione came up for air gasping

"Shall we?" she asked smiling. He rolled over till he was on top of her and said

"yes we shall"

They emerged from the room late in the morning red faced and hand in hand running towards the Gryffindor tower to grab their book before they were late for their first class.
