I've Been Dreaming

Chapter Two: Caught

Hermione found it hard to sleep that night when a million thoughts were racing through her head. What am I going to do! She asked herself, It was a heat of the moment kiss, what was I doing leading him on like that! I always thought he fancied Cho! And Ginny fancies him anyway! And I thought I liked Ron before… Harry has always just been like a brother to me… She didn't know what to do.

I'll just have to face him tomorrow and tell him it can't work out. People are bound to find out anyway…

Harry, however, was ecstatic.

"Oh yeah!" He shouted, secretly hoping Hermione couldn't hear him, "I kissed Hermione, I kissed Hermione, I kissed Hermione" he said, doing a little jig. It seemed as though everything was perfect for him until he thought of Ron. You snooze you lose brother, he teased, but he couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for his ginger friend.

Hermione planned on telling him she couldn't love him as soon as she saw him. That way, it wouldn't build up inside of her and ruin her day. She sat down on an armchair in the common room waiting for him to come downstairs so they could walk to breakfast together. She heard a door creak open and saw him. His green eyes met her brown. She couldn't do it. And in that moment, she realised all along that she had loved him too.

For the next couple of days, they slowly got accustomed to their new life. No longer brother and sister, but boyfriend and girlfriend. They hadn't kissed since that night in the common room, but stuck together every day. As they were walking back to Gryffindor Tower from the library one night, Harry spoke up.

"Everyone comes back tomorrow." He stated. They had avoided the subject of the rest of the student body until now.

"Yep," Hermione muttered, "What are we going to do?" Obviously people would be suspicious if Harry Potter and Hermione Granger started acting more kind to each other than usual.

"I think we should leave it for a week, but we should tell some people," Harry said quickly, "Maybe Luna?"

"Yeah, probably a good idea. But what about Ron?" Hermione replied, addressing the matter that was on both of their minds.

"I think," Harry began, taking extreme care to say the right thing, "He will probably sulk when he first finds out, you know how he is, but we just need to tell him and be patient with him."

Hermione agreed with him and they bade each other goodnight.

Harry and Hermione sat in the courtyard, waiting for their friends to arrive. Harry slowly entwined his fingers with Hermione's. It just so happened, at that moment, the Draco Malfoy walked into the courtyard.

Hey Guys xx

Hope you liked this little addition. I was contemplating for a while whether I wanted Ron to be the first one back at school and walk in on Harry and Hermione or Draco. But I decided it to be Draco because his reaction will be great!

Hope you enjoyed! Leave a review if you did!

Thank
