"Why aren't we in a relationship, Hermione?"
That's how he entered the Head Common room. Hermione was sitting on the couch, a book in her hand and her legs outstretched.
She looked up in shock. "What?"
Harry went over to the couch and waited for Hermione to lift her legs. She sat up straight on the couch and put the book on the table. He plopped down next to her. "I asked, why aren't we in a relationship? Why didn't we try?"
Hermione looked taken aback. "Um, I don't know…" She thought for a moment. "Well, I guess it was because it was never expected from us. It was supposed to be the happy Weasley family, you and Ginny, me and Ron. But that didn't work, and after that I guess we never really thought about it, I mean, I never really thought about it."
Harry frowned for a moment. "Well and why don't we try now?"
Hermione blinked. "I don't know, like I said I never really thought about it. I must confess I had a crush on you back in third and fourth year, but with everything that went on, like Ron, Cho and Voldemort, I kinda let it drop. Why would you want to try, why now, why so sudden?"
"Because I think that's how it's supposed to be. We have a very close and deep friendship, we understand each other, we support each other no matter what, and I think that's the best ground for a relationship. Besides, you're an amazing girl, and I really like you and care about you. You're smart, loyal, compassionate, beautiful and I even think you're funny." He smiled as she blushed. "And quite frankly, the thought of you and another boy is killing me."
She was speechless. "Uh…" And Harry took the opportunity to lean forward and capture her mouth. It was a small and soft kiss. Hermione didn't even get the chance to respond to the kiss before pulled away again.
Harry grinned at her wide eyed, quite dazed expression. "See, that felt right, better than any kiss I've ever had." He traced her cheek lightly. "So… are we giving it a try?"
A soft smile appeared as she nodded. "Yes, we are."
Harry smiled. "Perfect." He whispered before leaning forward for a proper kiss, this time with Hermione responding.
Harry pulled away, kissed her cheek and leaned backwards against the couch. Hermione smiled, took her book again and settled against him. He wrapped his arm around her and laid his head on top of hers as she laid it on her shoulder.
And he was right… it was perfect.
