"You should go after her," Ginny said quietly, after many moment of silence.
Harry stared at her, wide eyed. "What?"
"Go after her," she repeated. Only Ginny knew the actual reason why Hermione had left in tears. She felt that Harry deserved the know now too. In an even quieter voice, she whispered, "I dare you."
He wasn't sure if it was because of those last three words 'I dare you' and he couldn't refuse a Dare, or if because it was Hermione - Hermione, who had been his best friend since his first year - and he wanted to make sure she was okay, but Harry found himself running out the door, down the corridor, following the sound of her sobs. "Hermione!" he called. "Hermione!"
"What?" she screeched, turning around, so that he ended up running into her. "What do you want, Harry?"
"'Mione, I just want to make sure you're okay..."
"Right," she scoffed. "You're always wanting to make sure I'm okay, but then you go and let Ginny give you a blow job!"

"Because... it's not... it's not that easy." She sighed. "Okay? It's just not."
"Why not, Hermione?"
"Because... because, it's... it's you."
It's you. The words echoed through Harry's head. Without thinking, he grabbed her and kissed her. Plain, straight out kissed her. For a moment, she was in shock, before she melted into his kiss. She opened her mouth a bit, allowing his curious tongue in.
"She told you, I'm guessing." The voice that broke them apart was a mixture of tears and happiness. Before Harry or Hermione got the chance to face her, she ran off down the corridor, her footsteps echoing around them.
