"No, I won't!" yelled Harry. "I will not go out with Hermione!"
"Oh c'mon, Harry! Just once?" pleaded Ron.
"Give me one good reason why I should. And then maybe I'll consider it," said Harry.
"Maybe you'll find out that you like her," said Ron.
"Maybe I won't find out I like her," Harry said. "Oh alright. Just as long as this is totally secret and you stop bugging me for a while. Now we're late for Potions, and you know how Snape gets when any Gryffindor is late."
"Oh hello, Hermione," said Ron. He shot a glance at Harry.
"Hi Ron. How were classes today?" asked Hermione.
"Oh just fine." Ron's voice went down to a whisper. "Ask her, Harry," he whispered at Harry, "before it's too late."
"Uh, Hermione? Can I talk to you in private for a second?" asked Harry.
"Sure."
They moved to a deserted corner in the common room.
"How was you're day? Well let me get to the point. Hermione, will you go out with me? Just this once," whispered Harry.
Hermione looked dumbstrucked. "With me? You go out with me??" she shrieked.
"I knew this was a bad idea," said Harry quickly. "Let's pretend this never ---"
"I'd love to!! I was waiting forever for you to ask me! Is seven o'clock tonight a good time? Oh, I'm so happy! I was worried that I was going to have to ask you to go out with me, but I was just so nervous!" Hermione yelled.
"There's only one catch," said Harry. "Can you please keep this a secret?"
"Well, I guess..."
"Great! Well I guess I'll see you at seven, then," said Harry. And with that he hurried off to the boy's dorms with Ron close behind him.
"Did you ask her? Did you? What did she say? Did she say yes? No? What?" said Ron.
Harry stopped and turned around. "Well I asked her and she said yes and it's going to be a seven o'clock and didn't you say you weren't going to bother me?" said Harry in an annoyed tone.
"Can I come with the Invisability Cloak and watch?" asked Ron.
"Of course you can, and while you're at it why don't you watch all my personal stuff like me bathing?? OF COURSE NOT!!" screamed Harry furiously.
So seven o'clock came, and they both were waiting in the common room, Hermione looking anxious, Harry looking nervous.
"Hello, Harry," said Hermione, looking excited.
"Hi," he murmured. "Let's go to the Charms class room. It's empty so we can get some privacy."
And so our witch and wizard went to the empty Charms room.
They had the best night either of them had had in a long time, playing games like truth or dare and Exploding Snap. It was getting late, and both of them were very tired.
"Well thank you for the best night I can remember, Harry," said Hermione. "I hope we can do this again!"
Just then Harry relized something. He actually liked Hermione! "Well, Hermione, I hope we can, too."
"Uh, Harry," said Hermione in a nervous voice. "I like you a lot and, well, I was wishing we could kiss good-night."
Harry in his heart wanted to kiss her, but his brain was telling him not to in case someone happened to drop in. Then they would be the laughing stock of the whole school. But his heart overruled his head, the love for her was too powerful. "Of course you can."
So they did just that. They kissed.
But as soon as their lips touched, something very odd happened.
Till next time...
