I didn't see it coming. It started out with just a simple, sudden question. Do you think Harry will come around?
I said I didn't know, but I sure hoped so. Truth be told, I really haven't a clue. He went through so much last year... and that's bound to change a person... I don't see how it couldn't...
I guess it was the wrong thing to say, though. Hermione started crying. Said he's the strongest and if he couldn't do it, how would the rest of us survive? I guess I see her point and all. I mean, if Harry- Harry- who survived encountering You Know Who when he was only a year old, can't deal with him now... Can't cope with what happened... What's the rest of us to do?
On the other hand, I've been thinking. Maybe it makes it harder. Maybe it's not a matter of, he's done it once, why not again? Must be awful hard to face the man who killed your parents...
Anyway... all I meant to do was give Hermione a little support. She was crying. I couldn't just sit there. So I went over and hugged her. Then she really started crying. I admit, it was kinda nice to be able to comfort her. Even if I didn't know what to say, other than that it'd be okay. And it will be. I think. I hope.
She kissed me. On the cheek. Still, it made me blush terribly, but there was something I wasn't exactly objectional to in the way my heart started to beat faster. I tried to take it lightly, though. I wanted to assume she only kissed me as a thank-you. Nothing more, nothing less. So I just kissed the top of her head in return.
I ended up asking about Viktor Krum. I mean, I thought they were getting pretty close... and yeah, I admit, I was kinda jealous. Okay, okay, fine. Really jealous. I even admitted that I really liked her. In a More Than Friends kinda way.
She kissed me again. Full on the lips this time. Took my hand and laid it on her chest so I could feel her heart pounding just as hard as mine as she told me Krum wasn't here. But I was. I kissed her back, of couse. God. How could I not? She pulled away when I thought for sure my heart would jump out of my chest and my stomach had twisted into so many knots I thought it'd never go back into shape again. And then she told me she really liked me too.
The problem is... like she said... What about Harry? I feel kinda bad being happy when he's... well... so obviously not. We're gonna tell him, of course. How can we not? Just... not right now. It can wait until things settle some.
