Chapter Three: Snogging in the Hallway

Ginny, deciding she couldn't wait until they reached Hermione's room, pushed her against the wall and quickly slipped her tongue into the brunette's mouth. Hermione moaned involuntarily as Ginny leaned against her and pressed their bodies together. Hermione spun them around so that now Ginny was pressed against the wall, causing the redhead to moan this time. Ginny ran her hands down Hermione's back squeezed her ass through her skirt. Hermione's hands pulled Ginny's shirt out of her skirt and Ginny gasped as she felt cold hands roaming her flat stomach.

"Well, well. That wouldn't be Miss Granger caught snogging in the hallway would it?" Both girls froze when they heard the cold, hard voice of Severus Snape. Hermione pulled away just enough to be able to look into Ginny's eyes. The fact that she had immediately stopped when she had heard him, proved to Snape that he had indeed caught the know-it-all Gryffindor princess.

"And which of the Trio would be your companion?" he asked as he couldn't see the person clearly in the dimly lit hallway.

"Weasley perhaps?" he added when he thought he saw that infamous red hair. "What would Mr. Potter say if he found out you chose his own best friend over The Boy Who Just Keeps Living?" Hermione looked into Ginny's eyes and smirked. Ginny knew what she was thinking and nodded. Hermione leaned in and placed one more quick kiss on Ginny's lips.

"Miss Granger! Mr. Weas..." he started firmly but he stopped when Hermione turned around and moved aside to reveal Ginny, instead of Ron. He looked from one girl to the next and couldn't hide the confusion written all over his face and both girls grinned.

"Well this is interesting, isn't it. Twenty points each, from Gryffindor for inappropriate behavior. Consider this your warning but next time I won't be so lenient," he said sternly.

"What? No detention?" Hermione asked sarcastically. Snape glared at her.

"As it is, public displays of affection are not exactly grounds for detention, unfortunately. However, next time, I might just catch you actually breaking the rules and I will gladly assign you the punishment you deserve," he seethed.

"Is that a threat?" Ginny asked rudely.

"I am a professor and would never make threats. I can not help it if you decide to break the rules in my pressence. It wouldn't be hard to convince the Headmaster, given your reputation with those two idiots Miss Granger. And, surely Miss Weasly would follow in her brothers' footsteps." Hermione and Ginny glared at him as he started to walk away. "Oh and ten more points from Gryffindor for speaking rudely to a professor," he sneered without turning to look back at them. Hermione groaned and the two girls continued on to her room. Once inside, Hermione collapsed on her bed and groaned again.

"God that man is so...ugh!" Ginny sat next to her and looked down at the older girl. "I used to feel sorry for him. He went through so much but I never even did anything to him! Why does he have to be such an insufferable git?" Ginny laughed.

"You've been hanging around Ron too much. You're starting to sound like him." Ginny leaned over and rested her arm on the other side of Hermione so that she was leaning over the brunette.

"That's not a good thing. Did you notice that Snape thought you were Ron?"

"Yeah, but he's just a greasy old git. Did you see how shocked he was when he saw that you were snogging a girl? His face was priceless."

"Oh I know. It was hilarious. He got so angry when I didn't turn around immediately. But I just wanted one more kiss." Ginny grinned and leaned down to close the short distance between their lips. Hermione brought her hands up and gripped Ginny's hair.

"Well you can have as many kisses as you want." Hermione grinned.

"Well I want one..." she said after placing a quick kiss on Ginny's lips. "Two..." she said after another. "Three...four..." She moved for another but Ginny pulled back slightly. Hermione bit her lip and smirked. Ginny gave a small moan before she closed the gap again. She then moved her lips down Hermione's jawline, down her neck, over her breasts and to her stomach. She pushed Hermione's shirt up, uncovering her flat stomach. Ginny kissed the newly exposed flesh and slid her hand up Hermione's smooth leg. She slid it under the brunette's skirt and slowly inched closer to the heated core she was seeking. Hermione's breaths became ragged as Ginny tasted the skin just above the hem of Hermione's skirt.

"Ginny..." Hermione half said, half moaned. Ginny crept her hand higher and higher. "Ginny, wait." Ginny's head shot up and searched Hermione's eyes.

"What's wrong?" Ginny asked; her voice full of fear and concern. Hermione laced her fingers with both of Ginny's hands and brought Ginny's lips up to her own.

"Nothing...I just don't think I can do this. Not yet." She turned her head, looking away. "I'm sorry," she added quietly. Ginny placed one of her hands on Hermione's cheek, making her look at her.

"Hey. You have nothing to be sorry about. I will never do anything that makes you uncomfortable." Hermione blushed slightly.

"I'm the older one. I'm supposed to be saying that to you. Not the other way around."

"Everyone goes at their own speed Hermione. I don't like you any less because you're not ready to have sex. In fact, I am really glad that you told me. I would never forgive myself if I had made you do things you weren't ready for." Hermione smiled and kissed Ginny again.

"You are so incredible Ginny Weasley."

"Well you're not so bad yourself."

"Are you sure you're not mad?" Ginny lowered her lips slowly and gently kissed Hermione. She slipped her tongue into Hermione's mouth and slowly, but passionately massaged the brunette's tongue with her own. After a few seconds she pulled away. Hermione had closed her eyes but didn't open them yet, and smiled.

"I am perfectly content to just lay here with you tonight, if that's ok. I mean I can go back to my room if you want."

"No, I want you to stay. Even though I was drunk, that night when you stayed the night, I slept better than I have for a while." Ginny smiled and settled her body next to Hermione's, resting her head in the crook of Hermione's neck.

"Did you realize that it was one week ago tonight?" Ginny whispered.

"Oh yeah, I guess it was. It's only been a week? It seems like much longer." The next morning, Hermione was the first to wake. She smiled when she felt Ginny's arm draped across her stomach. She turned her head slightly and kissed Ginny's forhead. She carefully extracted herself from Ginny's grasp and turned so that she was leaning above her. She placed another kiss on Ginny's forhead to try and wake her up but it didn't work. She leaned down again but this time she kissed Ginny's lips. After not getting a response, she slipped her tongue into the redhead's mouth and slowy she could feel Ginny beginning to respond. The younger girl moaned and opened her eyes slowly as Hermione pulled away.

"Mmm, I wish I could wake up to that every morning."

"Maybe we'll have to work on that then."

"I like the sound of that." Hermione was leaning in for another kiss when they both heard Ginny's stomach growl. Ginny blushed and Hermione grinned. She scooted down a little and lifted Ginny's shirt to reveal her stomach.

"I think...that someone...is a little...hungry," she said in between placing small kisses on and around Ginny's bellybutton. Ginny smiled.

"Maybe just a little."

"Well then, we should head down to breakfast. If we don't, the boys will probably be wondering what happened to us last night."

"They only wish they knew," Ginny joked before giving Hermione one last kiss and getting up. They quickly changed their clothes and headed down to the Great Hall.

"It's about time you two showed up. How late did you stay up studying last night?" Harry said when the two girls sat across from him and Ron.

"Knowing Hermione, they probably just got done studying," Ron mumbled but both girls heard him, looked at each other and smirked.

"Actually Ginny, I thought you were doing really well last night. Maybe we should do it again tonight."

"Sure. I love studying with you. You make it fun. It feels like I'm not doing any school work at all."

"You two have been acting really strange lately," Ron said through a mouthful of food.

"Whatever you say Ronald," Hermione said calmly. They coudn't suspect anything. It wasn't like she and Ginny had snogged in public or anything. They had tried not act differently. Hermione silently scolded herself for being paranoid. No one knew anything, and even if they did, would it be so bad?

Meanwhile, up at the Heads Table, Snape sat down next to McGonagall, carefully watching the interaction between Hermione and Ginny. It was obvious that no one else knew about them. To the general observer they looked like typical best friends, but Snape could see the subtle touches, the laughing and leaning against each other and the looks that lasted just a few seconds too long. He turned to McGonagall and smirked.

"Minerva, you will be surprised to know that I caught two of your precious Gryffindors, in some innapropriate behavior yesterday evening."

"What? Who? It wasn't Neville and Luna again was it?"

"Thank you Minerva for burning my mind with that image. Actually no, it was Weasley and your perfect little princess Granger."

"Oh Severus, they're just kids. But I'll talk to Ron and Hermione later if that will make you happy."

"It's not Ron..." Snape said suspiciously. McGonagall looked over at him curiously.

"But you said Weasley and Ron is the only one other than..." She looked over towards Hermione and Ginny who were both laughing at something.

"Like I said, it's not Ron." She looked back at Snape.

"Ginny? But, you must have been mistaken. Are you sure?"

"One hundred percent sure."

"Well...there's nothing wrong with that. I mean as long as they're happy."

"The wizarding world is no more accepting than the muggle world. If people find out, Miss Granger's future could be ruinned. And you wouldn't let her precious mind go to waste would you?" McGonagall looked back over at the two girls. She felt bad but Snape was right.
