Chapter Three:

MPOV:

I stared at the door for ages after Hermione ran out of it.

"She loves you too, Min" Albus said from his portrait behind my desk.

"She loves me too" I said slowly as a smile crept onto my face.

I sighed softly.

"Why did she run, Albus?"

"She's afraid of being rejected"

"But I wouldn't reject her!"

"Well go prove it to her"

I stood up and walked over to my fireplace and threw floo powder into it.

"Head Girl quarters"

HPOV:

"Have you opened the envelope yet?" Harry asked after a while.

I had completely forgotten about the envelope sitting in my hands. I opened it slowly.

Hermione,

First of all, congratulations on becoming head girl.

You now have your own quarters. Go upstairs like you are going to the girls 7thyear dorms but instead of entering the door on the right enter the one on the left. You may put a password on it if you wish.

Please see your enclosed schedule of class and patrols.

Yours always,

Minerva.

"Do you have your own dorm too?" I asked Harry

"Yeah on the left opposite 7th year boys. I'm guessing yours is opposite the girls?"

"Yeah it is"

I tried to stifle a yawn.

"Well I should probably go get unpacked back to classes tomorrow"

"Yeah, sweet dreams 'Mione"

We hugged and I headed upstairs. As soon as I opened the door to the room I gasped. The entire sitting area had built in bookshelves from floor to ceiling. There was two comfy looking arm chairs either side of a fireplace with a small corridor running away from the side of the fireplace. I walked down the corridor and opened the door on my left. It was my own private bathroom with a shower and a bathtub. I smiled as I saw the bathtub it looked more like a swimming pool.

"That will come in handy" I said out loud

I walked out and opened the door to what I assumed was my bedroom. It had a four-poster double bed and something I didn't expect Minerva was sitting on the end of my bed.

"Hello Hermione, please don't run"

I could feel the tears start to well up in my eyes.

"You haven't said anything I didn't want to hear Hermione, that I haven't wished for years to hear from you. I am in love with you Hermione Jean Granger and I do not want to ignore that anymore"

I just stared at her expecting her to disappear at any moment. I closed my eyes and opened them again and she was still sitting there waiting on me to say something.

"I don't want to ignore it anymore either Minerva. I want to be with you"

She crossed the room quickly and pulled me into her arms holding me close as my tears fell.

A/N: I know I'm evil!
