"Hermione!" He yelled after her, but she kept running. If she stopped she knew she could never get started again. It was just too hard. "Hermione!" He yelled again and she could hear his footsteps pounding after her and she knew he would catch up to her. Sure enough as she slowed at the corner his hand was on her shoulder stopping her gently. Hermione didn't turn around for a moment before moving to face him. Harry looked bedraggled, his face was flushed and his lips red from their kiss.
"Hermione-"
"Oh Harry." She said her face crumpling. "Why did you have to do this? It was all fine before." She started to sob he reached for her but she backed away. "I had everything figured out! I was going to graduate leave everything behind, and start work at the Ministry," She paused for a moment sniffing.
"Hermione I-"
"You can't just kiss me like that! How am I supposed to react? You're my friend!" She said hysterically again she backed away when he reached for her again. "You're the bloody savior of the wizarding race! You can't just go up to your best friends and kiss them! There's a process!" She was sobbing again; she didn't even understand what she was saying. His hands slid up to her face and she tried to jerk away but he held her firmly but gently.
"Hermione." He said trying to make her pay attention but she closed her eyes. "Hermione look at me." He said and he had that determination in his voice. She opened them and looked at him; he was staring intently at her. "Hermione." He said pausing for a moment. "Hermione I love you." He said his voice loud and steady but his eyes flicked between her eyes. "I love you." He repeated and she knew that she had an expression of shock on her face. Her brain wasn't quite registering what he said.
"You love me?" She repeated slowly her nose crinkling in confusion and he laughed.
"Yes I love you Hermione." He said before grinning and swinging her around. "I love you." He said again before crashing his mouth against hers. Hermione tried not to wonder why this felt right when her brain was telling her was the worst thing possible. She broke away and said, "But what about-"He silenced her with a finger.
"You don't have to worry about that." He said before grinning hungrily at her. "All you have to worry about is what happens when we get back to my room." He whispered in her ear. "Not that you won't enjoy it immensely." She shivered against him at the implications. Suddenly he grabbed her and swung her over his shoulder.
"What are you doing Harry Potter?" She screamed pounding on his back.
"You walk very slowly and I don't have any patience." He said smoothly beginning to walk.
"If you think I will allow you to ravish me now, you are dead wrong!" She said laughing.
"Who said anything about ravishing? I was thinking about a good nap." He said innocently before pinching her butt not so innocently. "Well a little ravishing might be in order." He said and Hermione laughed not at all minding being slung over his strong shoulder.
