"Hermione?"
Hermione turned her head at the sound of her name being called so softly from across the room. Her cheeks turned a deep shade of red.
Yet how could she help but not blush? The sight of the tall, Gryffindor seeker nearly always brought colour to her cheeks, not to mention a curious flutter to her pulse. Who would not blush when such a good looking guy happened to glance her way? And tonight he was doing a lot more than glancing. He crossed the room to where Hermione was standing, only to hear an especially controlled voice say "Hi Harry what's up?"
"Oh nothing," he sighed "maybe just the one problem then"
"Which is?" she asked.
"Just that the one girl that I can't live without doesn't even know I like her and even as I'm talking to her now she is absolutely clueless!" said a frustrated Harry.
"W-w-hat you mean me?!" said Hermione totally shocked.
Harry looked deep into those chestnut brown eyes and said. "'mione, over these past few years it has broken my heart that you only considered me as a friend, but to be honest I've had enough," Hermione was all too aware of her heart drumming against her ribs with the knowledge of what was to follow.
"Hermione, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked. The pair broke their gaze at the sound of sarcastic clapping.
"Wonderful speech Potty nearly got me going in tears! Aww and look the mudblood know-it-all Granger is finally…speechless! What a terrible shame," exclaimed a sardonic Draco Malfoy. "Oh yeah where are my manners? What I meant to say was… So sorry for interrupting but McGonagall told me to tell the Mudblood that your assignment books are ready."
Hermione was slowly filling up with rage. How darehe call her such names and interrupt so rudely! She turned abruptly on the spot giving Harry a little fright. " Harry, in answer to your question, I would be honoured to be your girlfriend. Now let's get out of here it's starting to stink of ferret!" the couple left happily, while watching the shock on Malfoy's face.
"It's getting late 'mione I'll see you tomorrow." And he lightly brushed her cheek with a kiss and left.
