The Covered Lie
I could see the nervousness in his face, waiting for my answer.
I glanced over and Harry and Ginny; still at it. I wanted something like that. Something with passion. But every time I like someone, they never like me because they all think I'm something else, but not one of the "dateable girls".
I looked back and the sweet face and said "Yes, why not?"
A huge smile spread across his face and his eyes lightened up. I had never seen him so happy since he saw the Quidditch World Cup.
"Really? Wicked!! Well I'm off to bed, Quidditch tomorrow. Bye." he leaned down and kissed my cheek and looked at me for a few seconds and the walked off up to his dormitory, and looking at me as he went up the stairs.
God what did I get myself into?!? Why did I say yes, why didn't I think before I act. There is nothing I can do now, he looks so happy. I don't want to take that away from him. Those were my thoughts for the rest of the night. I hadn't told anyone and I bet Ron had told Harry as soon as he saw him.
Why Hermione, why? Shit, I'm so stupid!
The next day I woke up to the beautiful spring morning, and it was Friday. I got up with a huge smile and I had totally forgotten about the nights events.
I walked inside the Great Hall and I look for Ginny, but Ron spots me first and tells me to sit next to him. That makes me snap back to reality. Harry was grinning at me like mad either that or someone had done the Cheering charm on him. I could feel both Harry's and Ron's eyes on me, until Ginny (my life saver) came in and sat next to Harry and they pecked good morning. That just made things so much worse. Then before I knew it Ginny was also grinning at me and I looked around more than half of the Gryffindor was grinning at me. I suddenly turned bright red and I looked at Ron with a shocked face.
"Ron, did you tell them? All of them?" I whispered into Ron's ear.
" It might have slipped to a couple five people" he whispered back with an embarrassed and childish smile.
At that I got up and headed for the library. It was the only place where Harry and Ron wouldn't come in unless they were forced too. I went to my favorite corner with the book Hogwarts: A History. I had read it so many times, but one more time wouldn't hurt a soul. Just when I was about to finish the first chapter feel someone sit next to me and hold my free hand. I slowly look to my right and see Ron there with a serious face.
"You ok? You didn't look very good when you waked out the Great Hall."
I looked at him with a 'are-you-really-asking-me-after-you-told-the-whole-world-and-I didn't-know' look.
" Look Her. I'm sorry. I was just so happy. I've been wanting this to happen for so long. You have no idea. When you were with Krum I was so jealous and angry that he did it so easily when you just met and I had known you for four years. I'm sorry I really am. Will you forgive me?" He pouted with a and looked like a four year old, and he knows I cant say no when he does that.
"It's ok. I just still have to get used to it. For you its easy you've been with a lot of girls and some that aren't even in Gryffindor. It's just new for me. Ok? Can we take this I don't know, just not too fast. I hope its not a turn off."
" No no, of course not. Anything for you babe. Well time for class, damn Potions. Come on." he said stretching out his hand for me to grab.
" Its ok, I'll be there in second."
" Ok." He kissed my forehead. "Love you". And he walked away.
After he was gone I closed my book and leaned my head on the wall and closed my eyes. This can't be happening!
