I do not own anything.

After showering one day after her tennis lessons, Hermione saw Josh waiting for her. Josh asked her to come to his house to hang out and Hermione agreed. They went together to a big mansion and Hermione was awed by his fortune. He was so rich that it was almost unbelievable. He led her to his room.

"So do you like my house?" Josh asked.

Hermione just nodded, too amazed to speak. Everything in his room was expensive. The flat screen TV, the bed, the furniture and the size of the room was the size of Hermione's whole house. Hermione went to his DVD collections and started picking something out to watch. Josh crept from behind her and started tickling her. Both of them ended up on the floor.

Josh took Hermione's cheeks in both hand and kissed her hard on the lips. Then, he stood up and started doing jumping jacks. Hermione arched her eyebrow at him. Gay guys were so weird. He did not just make a pass at me. Maybe American's were more laid back on kissing. Hermione shrugged it off. She went back to picking out movies and Josh started using the computer.

Hermione decided that she needed to work on her essay so she asked for a paper and pencil so she could note down her notes for her essay. Ten minutes passed and both Hermione and Josh were engrossed in what they were doing. Then Hermione made a mistake in her writing. Being a perfectionist, she couldn't stand the error and just had to ask Josh for a rubber.

"Have you got a rubber?" Hermione asked.

Josh turned away from the computer screen.

"Excuse me?" he said in a puzzle tone.

"Have you got a rubber?"

"Well, umm, yeah." Josh said. But he made no move to get it

"Very funny Josh. Ok when I said, have you got a rubber, I meant that can I borrow a rubber?" Hermione said.

"You want to borrow a rubber?"

"Yeah" Hermione said with exaggerated patience. This was so not funny and Josh was starting to annoy her.

"That's why I asked whether I could borrow one" Hermione said, really annoyed this time.

"Well, umm, yeah, I suppose but, uh, why do you want a rubber? I mean, right now?" Josh asked.

"What do you think I want a rubber for Josh? What do most people want a rubber for? Now, can you just give me one, please?" I asked, exasperated.

Angrily, she turned back to her essay and scribbled more words. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Josh walking towards her. Then he surprised Hermione by opening the bedside drawer. What a weird place to keep a rubber, she thought. Then he handed her a condom.

Hermione stared at it. And stared at it. Then Hermione looked at Josh and asked

"Now how am I going to rub out my periodic table?"

She lied about the periodic table cause he would believe her if she had told him that she was doing an essay on the advantages of dragon blood.

Both of them started howling in laughter when they realized what just happened. Then they spent ages talking and talking. Hermione realized that Josh not only fancied guys but he also had sex with them. That could be the only reason why he had condoms in his room.

"So like, was I correct when I said snogging was like making out?" Josh asked.

"Yeah but I really don't fancy snogging. I did it only twice and it was awful" Hermione said.

"How come?"

"The first time was with a boy in Spain three years ago. It was disgusting. All slobbery and he nearly gagged me and then the next guy was so drunk that he kept belching mid snog" Hermione said.

"Ew not a nice experience." He said.

"Well most girls practice in the mirror. Some girls prefer practice at the hands because it's more flesh like. Some even snog their teddy bears." Hermione said.

"No way man! You chicks do that?" Josh said

"Yeah some girls sit on their hand till their numb and then make out with it because it doesn't feel like your own hand." Hermione exclaimed.

"Mer- my god! You do that??!!?! " Josh said incredulously.

"I've never met anyone like you Mione. I feel so honored that you're telling me all this stuff. I've never met a chick as open as you. " Josh said admiringly.

"Have you guys ever practiced snogging like us?" Hermione asked.

"Don't think so. I don't think that you can practice making out without another person" he said.

Hermione thought about this. Since Josh was gay, it wouldn't mean anything if she snogged him. She could use the practice for future.

"Hey why don't I practice on you?" Hermione asked.

"Excuse me? Are you serious? You want to practice making out with me?" Josh said incredulously.

"Well, why not? You're better than my teddy bear anyway." Hermione said.

"I'm overwhelmed by the flattery .Careful or I might get too big- headed." Said Josh sarcastically.

"I didn't mean it like that. It's just that I trust you completely" said Hermione.

"You trust me completely? Maybe you shouldn't. I'm a guy after all."

"Don't be silly. Of course I trust you completely. Its not like you'd ever take advantage of me, would you?" Hermione said.

Josh looked confused and wary. It struck Hermione that him being gay, he would find snogging a girl totally gross.

"If it would be gross for you then I totally understand. You don't have to do it" Hermione said.

"Of coarse its not disgusting. Just, well, a bit weird that's all. But, ok right, if you really want to, go ahead and use me for practice."

"Ok" Hermione said cheerfully. Now she'll get more practice.

Hermione closed her eyes and slowly bought her face closer to his. She moved her hand to touch Josh but she came in contact with just air. She opened her eyes and saw that Josh wasn't in front of her. Confused, she stood up and looked around for Josh.

Then all of a sudden, Josh stepped out from a dark corner and within two strides, he closed the distance between them. He kissed her lips and pushed her to the bed and together, they fell on the bed, kissing passionately. His tongue forcefully opened her mouth and she let him gain entrance. Their tongues fierce fully explored each others mouths.

Hermione's mind was blank. She knew that Josh was gay so she could do anything she wanted and it wouldn't matter. So she let him touch her everywhere and kiss her like that. She wrapped her arms around him pulled him closer into her. She felt him moan. Then her eyes flew open.

This was wrong. So wrong. Merlin, she was kissing a gay guy. He was pressing her body against his, touching her all over. That was wrong. A gay should do that with another guy, not her. So she pulled away and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thanks." Hermione smiled at him.

"Anytime" Josh said. He was grinning at her and his eyes were twinkling even more than usual.

Josh said that he would drop Hermione home but Hermione refused. So after one last peck on the cheek, she went out of his house. Then she found a seluded spot and aparated home. She sighed in content and fell asleep on the couch, too tired to move.

The next day, Josh called and said that he was going on a camping trip alone with Peter. Hermione shot up from the couch and almost screamed into the phone to take her and Tessa along. Peter was a good looking guy but he was straight and josh wasn't. And Josh was way stronger than Peter. No way was she taking a chance.

After begging Tessa to go, they packed their bags and drove all the way to some place she didn't know. They chose a spot and set up their camping stuff. They spent most of the day inside the tent because it was raining. Then as me and Tessa planned, Tessa yawned.

"Bye guys I'm beat" Tessa said as she went to another tent to sleep.

"I think I'm tired too. I think ill stay here for tonight. Tessa snored likes a beast and ill never get any sleep." Hermione said.

Peter and Josh looked at each other in surprise.

"Excuse me? You can't sleep here Mione, uh, there's no room" Peter said.

"Tessa is fine with you sharing with her. You're welcome by the way."Hermione said while winking.

Peter grabbed his bags like there was no tomorrow and ran to the other tent. Then shortly returned with Hermione's bag and ran to the other tent.

Hermione laughed and turned to face Josh who was staring at her weirdly.
