Just In Case
A HarryxHermione Fic
Harry was sitting in his four-poster bed leaning back against the headboard, surrounded by books. He was studying for the N.E.W.T. exams that were fast approaching in just a few days when he was interrupted by Hermione bursting through the door. Harry looked up and opened his mouth to tell her where Ron had gone, but before he could speak, she pounced on him, kissing him fiercely on the mouth. Shock registered in Harry's brain as he tried to figure out exactly what was going on. But before he could it was over and Hermione was back standing in front of him, straightening her scarf, her breathing quick and irregular.
He looked at her, a thousand questions in his eyes, but before he could ask even one, she spoke.
"I had to make sure," she told him. "I had to make sure it wasn't you."
And then she's gone, in the same direction Ron had walked not a quarter of an hour earlier. And Harry was left wondering why he had to fall for his best friend's girl.
