My first fic, be gentle!
I own nothing, its all about JKR!
Hermione ran into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Instead of getting into the shower she washed her face and stared into the mirror at her reflection.
She thought back over the evening's events and wondered how things had changed so suddenly with one simple action.
She had been staying at the burrow for a week now and was enjoying herself immensely. After dinner each night she would go out with Ron, Harry, and Ginny and "hang out" in the back yard. Tonight had gone just like any other night; they went out and talked while the sun went down. Harry asked Ginny if she wanted to go back inside because she looked a little tired. Hermione decided to stay outside and watch the stars appear. Ron stayed with her, claiming he could defend her if the twins decided to come out and test one of their numerous wheezes in the backyard.
Hermione went and sat on the porch swing on the patio, knowing that Ron would probably join her. They sat in silence for a few minutes looking at the sky until Hermione realized that Ron wasn't looking up any more, he was looking at her.
Hermione turned and looked at him. She noticed the weird look in his eyes and had seen enough muggle movies to know what was about to happen. Unconsciously they both started leaning in and their lips touched.
Nothing. She didn't feel anything; not a magic spark, not a tingling sensation, not even the "this is great" feeling.
It wasn't that the kiss was bad or anything, just that it didn't feel like everyone had told her it would be. After a few seconds they pulled back and Hermione could see the disappointment in his eyes. They both turned and looked away from each other.
Hermione felt guilty, she knew it wasn't her fault or his fault but she felt that she had let everyone down. As far back as first year people had been urging them to get together and now, with this kiss, they both knew it probably wouldn't happen.
Hermione desperately tried to think of any excuse to go into the house and get out of this awkward moment.
All she could think of was, "Well I better go take a shower."
Thats it, thanks for reading, please review!
