A/N: Thanks y'all for favouriting, following and reviewing my story! It really helps! Also, i realised how I hadn't been updating for a while now, so here is a make-up chapter! This chapter had loads of Hinny, so Hinny shippers, here's a real treat for you! There is, mind you, some Dramione too. And sorry, if you think there's too much love, but it's for the best, I promise. Enjoy!
As Harry scurried upstairs to his dorm, he was becoming more and more aware of the house-unity-thingy Dumbledore had come up with. Draco would be there, and he was actually rather eager to share some of the details of his date with his friends.
"Harry! Where were you?" Ron asked.
"Umm...With Ginny...On a date."
"I see."
"Oi, Potter, how was it?" Draco smirked slyly and continued, "Was it magical, whimsical, did you feel fireworks, currents when you two passionately kissed, or rather snogged each other's faces off?" He was grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
Harry thwacked him, playfully however, and blushed a bright magenta. He did feel fireworks. Was this normal? He couldn't exactly explain the feeling he felt when he kissed Ginny, it was magical (A/N: Pun may or may not be intended. ;)) and he wasn't sure how he should react towards his feelings.
"Well?" Draco demanding, still grinning.
Harry took his time to take out his pyjamas from his trunk. He then dove under his bed, swiftly changed and came up, still blushing.
"Hey guys, what are we talking about?" Dean said, as he entered the dorm.
"Nothing much. Just about Harry's date with Ginny." Neville replied.
Great. Harry thought. Now I have to tell the very magical tale of my date with Ginny to Ron, Draco, Neville and Dean.
"We went to Hogsmeade. Then to the Three Broomsticks for a Butterbeer."
"And?" Ron prompted, smirking just as much as Draco was.
"Well, then I got her some sweets and chocolate from Honeydukes and a some very nice dress robes..." Harry had started to feel uncomfortable now, as he didn't really want to share his kissing experience with Ginny.
"I think something's missing..." Dean said as Harry's eyes were now alarmingly as wide as saucers,seeing that Ginny had said something similar when she'd wanted him to kiss her. Everyone smirked at his expressions and gave knowing looks to each other. Especially Ron and Draco. Something was up, and he would find out soon enough. What did they want to know? His kissing experience with Ginny Weasley? How he'd felt elated and happy when he'd kissed her and how he'd felt his chest swell when he'd kissed her and how he'd felt fireworks, they were burning inside him, when he'd kissed her?
"What's missing?" Harry asked innocently, clearly playing dumb.
"How was The Kiss?" Draco said, quoting "the kiss" with his fingers.
"What if we never kissed?" Harry was not willing to share such a personal experience with them, yet.
"Don't lie to me Potter, I know you two kissed."
Harry grabbed Draco's and Ron's wrist and led them down to the Common Room. He was sure no one was in there and was glad that they was granted their privacy.
"It was great..." Harry blushed when he saw Ron and Draco exhange knowing looks and smirk at him, again.
"You felt fireworks, didn't you?" Ron asked.
"And then you felt your chest swell up with happiness and then you felt elated..." Draco continued. Harry was startled at their ability to understand his feelings better than he understood them. He had no idea how the knew.
"H-how did y-you k-know?" He managed to croak, still shocked.
"Mate, it was that look in your eye before." Ron said.
"You're in luuuuuuurve!" Draco mocked him, yet feeling happy for his now-friend nonetheless.
Harry blushed. Again.
Maybe he did love Ginny.
Ginny was still sighing when she climbed up her dormitory stairs only to be greeted merrily by Hermione. Most of the girls were asleep, which made it really easy to talk to Hermione.
Everyone knows that girls always tell their best friends everything.
"How was it?" Hermione smiled.
"How was what?" Ginny knew exactly what "it" meant, but she herself had never told Hermione that she was going on a date with Harry. She wondered how Hermione knew.
"Uh, the date!" Hermione emphasised and gave Ginny a "Well, Duh!" look.
"How do you know about the date?"
"Well, I know now!" Hermione smirked. She was becoming more tricking these days, like when she'd tricked Harry and told him that water was Veritaserum.
Impressive.
"Dammit!"
"Just kidding, Ginny. We only guessed you two went on your first date ever, but you just confirmed it."
"We?"
"Yeah, Draco, Ron and I. They told me that they couldn't find Harry anywhere and I couldn't find you, so putting two-and-two together, it was obvious that you two were together."
"Hmm. Very clever, 'Mione." Ginny praised Hermione with a smile, which was returned by Hermione.
"So, how was it?"
"It was great. Really." Ginny smiled.
"What did you guys do?"
"Uhh, we went to Hogsmeade, went for some butterbeer, Harry was a sweetheart and bought me some sweets, chocolates and some uh-mazing dress robes."
"That's very sweet of Harry. I think something's missing though..." Hermione hinted, a half-smirk half-smile playing on her face.
"Really? What?" Ginny knew exactly what Hermione was hinting at, but chose to play dumb.
"Oh I don't know...A kiss maybe?" Hermione mock-thought.
At this, Ginny resembled like someone on fire. "We may or may not have kissed."
"Did you feel amazing when you kissed? Like you never wanted to stop kissing?"
"..."
"Did you feel that the kiss was really passionate and full of love and passion and fire and..." Hermione trailed off as she saw Ginny looking very shy.
"...Maybe..." She said shiftily.
"Ginny, sweety, you're in luuurve!"
Yes, now even Hermione had confirmed her suspicions that had been swimming in her head during Harry's and her date.
Damn, she smiled.
She loved Harry.
Before Harry and Ginny came back from their date:
"Draco, Ron, have any of you seen Ginny?" Hermione asked as she searched for her female best friend.
"Nope." Draco and Ron answered together.
"We were actually going to ask you if you had seen Harry anywhere." Ron spoke to Hermione, earning nods of agreement from Draco. Hermione thought, setting her logical side to work. If Ginny and Harry, weren't to be found anywhere, together, maybe they'd gone on a date?
"Maybe they went on a date." Hermione reasoned.
"Yeah, that sound reasonable." Draco agreed. They all walked towards Hogsmeade themselves, heading towards the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer.
"Is it just me, or do Harry and Ginny, both look so much in love when they're together?" Ron questioned.
"It's not just you, Ron. I just became friends with you guys and its pretty obvious to me too." Draco said.
"It's just, I see their eyes glazing when they look at each other, so much in love." Hermione said so, very unexpectedly. Who would've thought that 'Mione actually liked romance?
"How do you know it's love?" Draco questioned.
"I've read about it... IMayOrMayNotReadRomanceNovels..." Hermione said the last part in a bit of a hurry. Ron and Draco looked at her bemusedly.
"I never knew you read ROMANCE novels, Hermione..." Draco spoke.
"Well, atleast we know now that she isn't studying all the time. That's a bit of a relief. Phew." Ron mock sighed only to be thwacked lightly by Hermione. Draco chuckled.
"I think it would be rather funny if we...tease them about it?" Hermione suggested.
"Who are you and what have you done with Hermoine Granger?" Draco mock-serious question.
"What? I can be fun."
" I know, I know. I was just kidding."
Hermione was starting to grow on him very much. She was pretty, cute, adorable, smart, intelligent (The Brightest Witch Of Her Age, for god's sake!), caring, girly-er than he'd expected her to be, she had a fun and mischievous side, yet she was so responsible, efficient, even though she was always working so hard to conceal her imperfection, when in reality she was perfect...for him atleast...
WAIT.
Why did he just think that? He was still gazing at Hermione smiling, yet very discreetly so. Ah. Slytherin qualities.
Did he like her? Or worse, did he, just like how Harry loved Ginny, love her?
Oh My God. What has the (wizarding) world come to?
