Chapter 6

Confessions

About a week later The Trio finally had some free time so they decided to go down to the lake and rest for a while. After a while Walaka came out of the water and splashed them. Yoda got up and ran to the waters edge while Walaka dove back into the water.

"Hey. No fair!" Yoda complained.

It's not my fault that you're afraid to come into the water just because of some weak creatures that have it out for you. Walaka laughed.

"Oh yeah." Yoda jumped in and jumped on Walaka's back. Walaka dove back under the water and took him around the lake to show him the joys of life under the water. Then Walaka started jumping out of the water and doing tricks upon re-entrance.

Meanwhile, on shore, Harry and Hermione just laughed at the two who were acting like they were only three years old. After a while Harry took out his sketch pad and started drawing the lake, Walaka, and Yoda riding Walaka. He was just finishing with some waves when Hermione looked over and saw the drawing.

"You're a wonderful artist Harry. You go into such great detail that the picture makes the person think that they are there. Have you been drawing long?" She asked.

"About three to four years ago is when I first started drawing and about two years ago is when I really started becoming an artist." He explained. Just then he started working on the shoreline and put two people sitting on the edge of it.

"Is that supposed to be us?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah. I wanted to put us in there to show that we will be together most of the time." Just then Hermione scooted a little closer and just watched him draw.

Yoda and Walaka were drifting along with the waves when Yoda took a look at the two sitting on shore. "I think that those two make a very cute couple."

Really. I think that they will just be staying very good friends.

"How much you want to bet that those two will become boyfriend and girlfriend some time?"

How about this. If you win I release you of all of the favors you owe me and if I win you will owe me forty of those treats you sometimes get me.

"Deal." He laughed because he knew he could just use his powers to push them into dating.

And another thing. NO CHEATING. Walaka said this because he knew what Yoda was planning to do.

"Damn you." Yoda snarled.

Just then there was some noise over on the shore just on the inside of the woods. A boy ran out of the woods and headed straight towards to where Harry and Hermione were sitting. He stopped, grabbed Hermione, and took off. When Harry got up to stop him the boy punched him in the jaw.

"Walaka, throw me." Walaka turned his head and grabbed him by his shirt collar and threw him towards the shore. Yoda landed and saw the boy run into the Forbidden Forest. Yoda shook Harry and concentrated on how he needed something fast moving.

Soon a figure came out of the forest and came towards them. "Ealaka, over here." Yoda called. Harry finally started coming around when he saw a unicorn coming to them. Yoda jumped on and offered Harry a lift up. Harry got on and the unicorn took off into the woods. Then a wolf leapt in front of them and the unicorn followed.

While this was happening the boy stopped and turned around. "Hermione I know that you don't know me that well but I want you to know something. I love you."

Hermione got a better look at him and recognized him. "Ron I thank you for your caring for me, but I do like someone else."

Ron didn't even hear her, "Hermione I want you to stay with me and get rid of your brother. It's because of him that I didn't tell you sooner. He's always by you and it's just not natural."

Hermione looked down at the ground because she didn't want to be hearing this. Though Ron took this as a sign that she was sad. "It's okay you won't have to worry about anything again." He pulled her chin up and leaned towards her.

Hermione pulled away and balled her fist and put all of the force she could behind the punch. When Ron was sprawled on the ground she stood and glared at him. "Ron just to let you know, I will never like you. You doing this just goes to prove what you will do to get what you want.

"Hermione." She heard Yoda call.

"I'm here." She yelled back.

A wolf and a unicorn with Yoda and Harry riding behind him came over a little hill. They dismounted and Hermione ran into Yoda's arms. Yoda passed her to Harry who was taken by surprise by this act but took her and let her sit down and cry into his shoulder.

Yoda took Ron and put him on Ealaka's back and told him to take the boy out of the forest and wait for him there. Ealaka took off and left the other three alone and the wolf on the hill. When they got up the wolf trotted to them and started leading them out.

"So who are your friends this time?" Harry asked.

"The unicorn is Ealaka, the guardian of earth, and the wolf is my long time friend Eclipse."

"Why do you call him Eclipse? His fur was all white." Hermione questioned.

"You'll see when we get out of here." They got out of the forest and when Eclipse got into the sunlight all of his fur went black.

"Wow. That's cool." Harry stated. The trio headed towards Ealaka and Ron. Ron was still knocked out and lying on the ground while Ealaka watch him to make sure that he didn't run.

"Ealaka you don't have to worry about these two. The boy is Harry Potter and the girl is my sister Hermione." Yoda said while indicating them.

It's an honor meeting the two of you. I am Ealaka. The protector of the earth. And finally Mr. Yoda's dryadian familiar.

"Does that mean that Walaka is my familiar?" Hermione asked.

Yes it does Ms. Hermione.

"You don't have to be formal with me. We can be great friends without the formality." Hermione told him.

"You're going to have to get used to that. He likes being formal with everyone he meets. I've gotten used to it so it doesn't really bother me anymore." Yoda explained. Yoda grabbed Ron and started to head back inside to take him to the Hospital Wing.

Soon Harry and Hermione followed and while Yoda took Ron into the Hospital Wing Harry pulled Hermione aside.

"Hermione there is something that I wanted to ask you."

"What is it?" She asked.

"I want to know what it is that Ron took you for."

"He just wanted to tell me about how he felt about me. He also wanted me to leave our group to be with him. Then he tried to kiss me and that's when I hit him."

"He tried to kiss you." Harry started to shake with anger.

"Harry calm down or your going to fry someone." Yoda said coming out of the hospital. He walked up to them and put his hand on Hermione's shoulder. "As long as he didn't kiss you you're going to be fine." Then Yoda looked away and with a look of worry in his eye. I'm glad that he didn't get a chance, because then I would have a world of trouble on me. Mother would kill me if Hermione got her first kiss taken with out her permission. OH NO what is mom going to think about this.

Yoda ran off leaving Harry and Hermione alone to walk back to the common room. They started heading back being held up briefly by Peeves making trouble and a little while before they got to the common room Harry pulled her into an abandoned classroom.

"Hermione there is something I want to tell you. For a while I've been watching you, even before the train. For some reason I was drawn to you and I could not go a day without seeing you. If you want to know see for yourself." Harry pulled out his sketch book and opened it to one of the pages filled with pictures of her.

Hermione looked at the book and saw her in stages of yoga, her sitting in a chair reading, and her playing with her little sister. "H…Harry, I don't know what to say. These drawings are wonderful, but I just don't think that I'm ready for a relationship yet."

"That's okay I just wanted you to know how I felt and hoped that you maybe felt the same way." Feeling rejected Harry turned around and started to leave.

Crying, Hermione lifted the notebook once again and took a long look at it. In the pictures she saw the feelings that he had mentioned. Even she was feeling them, but she didn't know what to do. So when she saw Harry leaving she grabbed his arm and turned him around.

Her lips connected with his and between them a great passion was unleashed. Each of them felt the passion of the other and just didn't break the contact between them. Soon their lungs protested against them and they reluctantly broke apart.

"Wow that was amazing." Hermione sighed.

"It really was." Harry sighed also.

What they didn't know was that they were being watched. Yoda had sent the letter to his mom telling her what was going on and that they would need to send someone with his notebooks to Hogwarts for research. Then he stumbled upon an open door and looked inside and saw Hermione grab Harry, turn him around, and kiss him.

Then Yoda slowly made his way into the room and just waited. Then when the two broke apart he waited for them to calm down. He cleared his throat and they sprung apart. "Harry, Hermione we are going to need to talk soon about this."

A/N: There's this chapter. I'll be writing all Christmas break. I hope to get at least 2 more chapters up. DON'T quote me on that. But I will try my hardest.
