Brilliance
Harry moved himself up onto his elbow as he lay on his side, looking down lovingly at Hermione, enjoying the feeling of flesh against flesh. Hermione pulled the covers up over her chest, looking into Harry's beautiful green eyes. "You're brilliant, you know that? Just. Bloody. Brilliant." harry smiled, nuzzling his face into her hair. "Really?" Hermione's voice came as an amused chuckle, "And how is that?"
Harry grinned broadly, "Well, you look brilliant in purple." he gestured with one hand to the shed clothing on the floor. Hermione's cheeks became pink, but she smirked, "Well, you look brilliant when dancing with lamps." This time it was Harry's turn to blush, "Ok, that had a reason...I was practicing ball room dancing.." Hermion's eyes sparkled with laughter as she did ehr best not to laugh at him, "Alright then. And I suppose you were just practicing when you were making out with my hand bag?"
Harry simply turned scarlet, then returned them to the task at hand, "Um...well...You look brilliant when eating cheese." A shocked look was followed by a chuckled, "Cheese?" With a nod, Harry continued, "And you did a brilliant job saving me and Ron's turkey, too." Hermione smiled, but couldn't help another brief laugh, "But cheese?" Harry nodded, pouting a little, "Yes. Cheese. What's wrong with it?" Rolling her eyes, Hermione sighed, "Well...you're brilliant even when you're stupid, or being an ignorant little git." Harry looked completely heartbroken. "I'm not a git...or ignorant. Am I?" A shaking head and rolled eyes met his inquiry as Hermione leaned up and gently took his lips against hers, "Yes, but you're my ignorant git. And I wouldn't have it any other way."
Harry smiled, laying on his back and pulling her on top of him, hugging her close, "And you're my brilliant girlfriend." his smile grew wider and into something more along the lines of a grin, "I can't even think of paling in comparison." The last word was punctuated by a rather long, passionate kiss. "But 'Mione, I'm not done." Harry added, "Did you know...you're even birlliant when you talk about how the rain makes your hair frizz?" Hermione gave him a playful shover and glare, "You look brilliant with your wild bedhead." Harry nodded and gave an all-knowing grin, "I know. My bedhead should be treasured."
A flourish of covers swiftly followed Hermione off the bed suddenly as she slid into her clothes, Harry following her lead. By the time any intrusion could be made, the two were sitting normally on Harry's made bed, talking about the new school year, when a soaked and unhappy Ron entered the room. "Well that was bloody brilliant!" he huffed angrily, his red hair plastered to his forehead and neck in odd fashions and patterns. Harry and Hermione both had to try stifling bouts of laughter.
