Just as Draco barged in with Pansy, Hermione quickly pulled away from Harry. She blushed a little bit and told Harry he can go, so he did without a word. Draco was confused about what just happened and he finally opened his mouth to say something, but Hermione beat him to it.

"Stop! Not a word. I know what you're going to say and I know I'm not going to like it. So please-"

"What the bloody-hell was that all about?" Draco was completely shocked.

Pansy butted into their conversation "And why are you so interested, Draco?"

"Shut up, Pansy!" He replied. "First of all, what was scar head doing in MY common room? Secondly, did you know he has a girl friend? Oh, this is great! I can't wait to spread this around school!"

"Stop! You are not going to tell! Pansy, could you leave for a moment please?" Pansy rolled her eyes and left because she did not want to be a part of this conversation. "Please, I admit, it was a mistake! I shouldn't have done it… But I don't know what happened! I was helping him with Potions homework and I had an eye-lash on my cheek and he told me I had it-" She stopped to take a long breath and then continued, "So then he took it off and we looked at each other and then he said 'You have really pretty eyes' and then BAM… It just… Happened…"

"What makes you think I won't tell?" As a joke, he started opening the portrait and he turned around to look at her expression but all he saw was a book flying towards him and hitting him on his nose. "What the hell Granger! It was a bloody joke!"

Hermione clasped her hands over her mouth and ran up to him while he was on the ground with his face covered in blood. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! It was just reflexes! I so sorry! Come here." She grabbed his arm and helped him up and led him to the couch. "Um… Let me fix it for you… I'm so sorry! I swear I didn't mean to!"

"Granger… I think you broke my nose." He said calmly.

"How are you so calm? Doesn't it hurt?" She was shocked.

"Yeah, it hurts like hell!" He started laughing and Hermione was getting really annoyed at him.

"What's wrong with you?" She started hitting his arms and shoulders. He wouldn't stop laughing until he got some pretty bad bruises on his arms. "I'm going to fix your nose." She pointed her wand at his nose and said, "Episky!"

There was a small crack and he put his hands over his nose. "Ouch! Ok, that hurt."

"Now get the blood cleaned off I don't want it on the couch and floor." She demanded.

"Yes, mother." He sarcastically said. He got up and left to the bathroom to get his face cleaned off.

Hermione was sitting on the couch feeling guilty. Oh my god, what am I going to do? Malfoy saw me kissing Harry and I just broke his nose! She left the common room with Harry's books and quill and headed towards the Gryffindor common room. She came across the Fat Lady and muttered the password and the Fat Lady generously swung open.

There she saw Harry in front of the fire, tossing pieces of parchment into it. Hermione cleared her throat, but he didn't hear her. "Um… hey, Harry… You left your books. I just brought them just in case. Um, do you still need help?" He wasn't answering so she sat next to him. "Harry are you ok? You look a bit pale…"

"I just noticed something. I think… I think I'm in love, Hermione. I think I'm in love." He said quietly.

"That's great! Why don't you tell her?" She advised him.

"I think I will… But… She doesn't love me…" He said sadly, continuing to toss pieces of parchment into the fire.

"What are you talking about? You two have been together for a long time already! She probably loves you to." She said.

"What? What do you mean?" He asked.

"Harry… you love Ginny. You've been with her for a long time." She stated.

"Okay, um… I'm just going to say it… Hermione, I think… I think I love you." He hesitated.

Hermione's eyes widened and she was starting to breathe fast. No, no, no… This can't be happening… Harry Potter did not just tell me he loved me… No… That's not right… He's with Ginny! Well, I have liked him for the past couple of years… Oh my god… He just said he loved me… Interrupting her thoughts was the feeling of Harry's lips against hers. She responded by putting her arms around his neck and he slid his arms on her waist pulling her into a closer embrace. She ran her fingers through his messy black hair.

She pulled back and they were both breathing hard. "Harry, I can't do this. You have Ginny. This isn't right." He silenced her by continuing the kiss with more intensely.

A new voice came in that said, "Harry? Hermione? What the hell are you doing?"

Hermione whipped her head up and there, standing, was Harry Potter's girlfriend, Ginny Weasley.
