As Harry sat in silence between Ron and Lavender, who happened to be in the middle of a fight, Harry's own girlfriend walked into the common room. And she looked completely ticked off. Wanting to be saved from the death glares that were being sent around him by both of his friends, Harry waved Hermione over.
"Save me!" Harry mouthed and Hermione nodded.
"Ronald, Lavender, get over whatever you two are fighting about, start talking to each other again, and leave Harry out of future arguments, starting today!" Hermione exclaimed making the once loud common room go completely silent and stare at her.
"Oh… we won't be getting into future arguments, just as long as Weasley doesn't talk to me ever again." Lavender said sending yet another death glare at Ron.
"And I won't talk to you ever again unless I'm forced to do so." Ron said as they both got up and went separate ways, Lavender toward the portrait hole and Ron toward the boy's dormitory.
"Thank you. Are you okay?" Harry asked as Hermione sat down next to him and laid her head on his shoulder.
"No… not really." Hermione answered.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Harry asked putting his arm around her shoulder and kissing the top of her head.
"Malfoy tried to kiss me." Hermione said making Harry mad at his enemy.
"Would it make you feel better if I kissed you?" Harry asked lifting her head up so that he could look into her eyes.
"It would be a great start." Hermione said as Harry leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips.
"Feeling better?" Harry asked pulling away.
"A little bit." Hermione almost squealed.
"Hm… what else can I do to make you feel better?" Harry asked himself before tickling Hermione in her sides making her laugh.
"O-o-o-okay… I'm feeling better. Just please stop." Hermione said through her laughter.
"Good. Now I'm going to go hurt Ferret Face." Harry said with a smirk of pure hatred.
"What? Harry you can't. You could get into trouble." Hermione said with a look that begged Harry to stay with her.
"Fine… I'll stay sooner or later; I'm going to have to do something to him for trying to kiss you." Harry said sitting back down and pulling Hermione onto his lap.
"I know… but for now… just stay here with me. Besides, it's past curfew… so you can't leave anyway." Hermione pointed out.
"Okay… how about I make sure that he's my partner in Potions tomorrow and do something that will make the potion blowup on him in class?" Harry asked with a smirk and making Hermione smile.
"That would work." Hermione said before kissing Harry and wrapping her arms around his neck while he wrapped his arms around her waist.
