Hermione walked down the steps out of the girl's dormitory into the common room.
I can't believe that I'm doing this! She thought. I should wait until the right time!
Hermione looked around the room. Harry was sitting in a cozy armchair in front of a roaring fire. Is face glowed, and his glasses reflected the flames. Hermoine looked at her watch. 11:45. She thought. Everyone else must have gone to bed. Hermione's head told her to walk away. But her heart told her that this was the right time after all.
What if he doesn't feel the same way? He'll hate me, and things will never be the same! I don't want to ruin the friend ship that we have! Even if it means keeping this a secret.
She was about to turn around when Harry saw her.
"Hey Hermione. What are you doing up so late?" Hermione looked at him.
His eyes are like dazzling emeralds sparkling.
"I couldn't sleep." She said faking a yawn. What's your excuse?"
"I forgot to do that potions essay."
"I finished mine ages ago."
"Then could you help me?" Harry asked hopefully. He put on a cute puppy face that Hermione couldn't resist.
"Alright," she said smiling. "What do you need?" Hermione sat down in the chair opposite him.
His eyes glow even brighter when you are close to him. Hermione thought dreamily. Harry gave her a funny look. "Umm... Hermione?"
"Hmm?" she hummed softly. I love it when he makes that face. It's so cute!
"Hermione, wake up!" Hermione sat up quickly and her cheeks turned crimson red. "I'm sorry," she apologized. "I didn't mean to stare, I was just thinking."
"Thinking about what?" Harry questioned curiously.
"No-nothing really," She stammered. "Just about…well…a bunch of stuff I guess."
"Oh, okay." He tried to hide his disappointment, but Hermione heard it in his voice.
Maybe this is the chance I've been waiting for. Maybe I can finally admit it how I feel… "I was just thinking about…" Suddenly a little voice popped in Hermoine's head.
No Hermione, don't say it! Don't ruin your friend ship! "…thinking about what it would be like if…" STOP IT NOW! Make up something stupid to cover it up! You can still back out of this!
"…if we were..." There's no going back now. I can do this. I know I can. "…going out."
Harry sat still registering what she had just said. He looked as though a raging battle was going on in his head, and he couldn't figure out whose side he was on. The silence was killing her.
Oh, great job Hermione! Now you really screwed up! He's going to be freaked out around you now. Things will never be the same! You just lost your best friend! Actually you just lost two! When he tells Ron about his, both of them will never speak to me again!
Hermione couldn't stand it any longer. She stood up and started to walk toward the girl's dormitory. Her face felt hot, and she could feel her eyes watering.
"Hermione,"
Hernione stopped still facing the stairs. Tears ran down her face.
I can't let harry see me crying, but I know that he can't love me as much as I love him.
She faked a cough and quickly wiped her tears. She turned and looked at the boy she loved. Hermione thought she saw his eyes begin to water too, but then it was gone. "Hermione," he began. "I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'll always be there for you. I also want you to know that I really like you a lot." Hermione felt her heart leap out of place. "I'm so happy that you told me this, because I've liked you for a long time, I just never had the guts to say it."
Hermione couldn't hold back any longer. She ran into Harry's arms. Her eyes filled with tears, but she wasn't really sure why she was crying. "I love you Harry." She cried (literally).
"I love you too Hermione." They looked in each other's eyes, and for the first time, they kissed.
I love his eyes.
Okay, that is the first chapter. The next chapter is still Harry and Hermione chapter, and even though not much happens, It's necessary for the rest of the story to make since. And besides, lots of stuff happens in chapter 3. As for all of you Ron fans, don't worry. I've got big plans for him. I've been told that this kind of starts slow, but read the first 3 chapters, and then decide if you want to continue. I know im new, but give me a chance. Thanks to everyone! I love you all!
