Chapter 10 Confusion

When Hermione got home the first thing that she wanted to do was to change out of her dress. She went to her room got some clothes and changed. She went to the living room and flooed over to Ginny's.

When she got over to Ginny's she was no where to be found. "Ginny are you here?", yelled Hemione moving around the living room. "I'm in the bathroom I'll be out in a second.", said Ginny's voice coming from the bedroom. Hermione went to sit down on the couch. As she was sitting on the couch she began to think about everything that had happened in the last two days.

First there was Ron and everything with him. After the tears and the talking to Harry she was feeling loads better about him. She noticed when she said Ron's name she no longer felt the anger build up inside her. It would take her a little bit longer to forgive herself. She vowed that she will never make work, the only thing in her life. Going back to Ron if he was to come over tonight she could most likely be able to sit down and talk with him. That thought shocked her. Even though yesterday was a bad day there was a lot of good thing that had happen too.

Harry was one of those things. She liked having Harry back in her life. They had shared a lot of nice moments together. When she began to think about Harry her heart would began to beat really fast. What was this why now when she would think about him would her heart do this. Did she have real true feelings for the man who was just a friend? She was still fighting with herself when Ginny came out of the room.

"Well as you can see I did not leave tonight so tell me what happened.", said Ginny moving to sit down right beside Hermione. Hermione was about to open her mouth when Ginny said a little bit more. " I thought that you would be a mess with everything that had happened yesterday." said Ginny "To be honest so did I. When I left your house I was a mess and I was only inside my house for a few minutes when there was a knock on the door." Ginny interrupted Hermione and asked, "Who was it? I bet it was Daniel. Am I right?", "If you would let me finished I will tell you.", said Hermione with a giggle in her voice. Ginny leaned back took her hand to her mouth pretended to zipped it and threw away the key. Hermione laughed out loud and then went on with who was at the door.

"It was Harry. If I was not so upset I most likely would had passed out. I'm embarrassed to say, but I just pulled him in and held on to him. It took a few minutes to say anything to him. He stayed and talked about a lot of things. He told me about where he was and what he did. I told him about the dates. He scolded me about it all that was until I brought it to his attention about all the woman he has been seen with. Hermione watched Ginny face very careful when she mentioned about the women to see what she thought about it. Ginny made no face. When he left at 3am this morning I felt like a load had been taking off my shoulder. When I woke up this morning I felt good that was until I went on that awful date with Justin.

"What Justin?", asked Ginny taking the pillow away from Hermione. Sometime during talking to Ginny Hermione grabbed it off of the couch. Ginny watched as Hermione mentioned Justin's name and strangled the pillow. "Justin Finch Fletchley and hes no longer shy or timed. That jerk can stay as far away from me as possible.", said Hermione looking around for something to wrap her hands around to strangle. Ginny realized it might be best if she gave the pillow back to her. She handed it back to her and asked, "What happened?"

Hermione told Ginny what happened with Justin. When she had got to the part were Justin kissed her. Hermione was still holding the pillow and when she was talking about the kiss she was squeezing the pillow and her and Ginny heard a pop. The cotton and the feathers went everywhere. "I'm so sorry Hermione.", said Ginny hugging her. "It's OK the last date kind of made up for it.", said Hermione with a smile. "So what happened on date number 6 and who was it with?", asked Ginny. "Well date number 6 was with a guy name Marcus and we went hiking. That was loads of fun.", said Hermione a little sarcastic. "Why did you say it like that was it not fun?", asked Ginny. "It was fun I just know that there is a better way of traveling." Hermione then went on to tell Ginny about Marcus. She showed Ginny the necklace and Ginny thought it was beautiful. When Hermione was done Ginny said "It sounds like you had a nice time." "I did it was way better then Justin" they both laughed at that.

They continue to talked about the dates when Hermione remember about Daniel and the date she was to have with him. She really wanted to know what Ginny would think about it. "Ginny there is one thing that I would like to get your opinion on." Hermione then told her about the letter and the date that she agree to. While Hermione was telling Ginny she wondered if she was wrong to agree so she began to panic. "Ginny, did I do the wrong thing. I mean I have been on 6 dates and I have not found someone that has made me feel the way the Har I mean Daniel does." "Hermione did you almost say Harry's name?" asked Ginny. "No, not at all. I meant I was just thinking about Harry and must had said it by accident." said Hermione moving off the couch. Ginny looked at Hermione very intensely and asked " Is there anyone out there that has made you feel the way that Daniel has."

Hermione looked back at Ginny and thought. What would she do, How will she act the moment Hermione tells her about Harry? When Ginny broke it off with Harry she had came to her house and they cried and then it was not talked about anymore. Is Ginny over Harry? How bad will it be? Will she tell her to leave and to never talked to her again. Hermione was not sure if she could handle Ginny not being her friend anymore. Well whatever happens she was about to found out. "Ginny there is one other person who has made me feel like the world is spinning. He was not one of my dates. I'm still a little confused about it all. The only thing I ask is that you hear me out before you kick me out. I think I have feelings for Harry." said Hermione with her throat tightening and the tears forming. Ginny moved off the couch and stood by Hermione and took her hand in hers and told her. "I knew that." "How, what, when, what , stuttered Hermione has the tears ran down her face.

Ginny hugged Hermione told her it was OK to stop crying. "Hermione I have known since you came in and told me about Harry. You got a dreamy far off look when you would say his name. When you made the slip I knew that it was true." "Are you mad?" asked Hermione wiping the tears away. "No, I don't feel anything towards him but as a friend and nothing more. So when did you began to feel that way towards him?" asked Ginny.

"I needed an item from him and went over to his place. I don't know what it was, but when I was there I just saw him as a man and not the boy I knew. I went to sit on the couch by him and my heart would beat fast. Then our hands touched and I looked into his eyes. I swear there was a moment when we could have kissed. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing I'm so confused." said Hermione moving back to the couch to sit down. "Well I think you should still go on the date with Daniel and see what will happen. As for Harry I don't know what to tell you. That will have to be something you will have to figure out. I know that he is a great guy and I will be here for you no matter who you choose.", said Ginny sitting down right next to her.

When Ginny had said that she would be by her no matter what Hermione was so happy. She moved so fast and hugged Ginny and told her, " Thank you so much. You are a best friend that anyone could ask for." Ginny was turning blue when she tapped Hermione on the arm and told her, "can't breathe." Hermione let go and told her "Sorry." while she was laughing. After everything had calmed down and Ginny had turned back to her normal color Ginny looked at Hermione and said," So now that we have taken care of that. How about you take your wand and clean up the mess you made with that pillow." Hermione laugh and cleaned up the mess. They talked for a little bit longer and then Hermione left.

Date # 7

Hermione rolled over in her bed and took her pillow and covered her ears. The pecking was getting on her nerves. She was still half asleep and had no clue where the noise was coming from. The pecking had stopped for just a few seconds and then started back up again. She was more awake now and understood where it was coming from and what it was. She got out of bed and went to the kitchen to let the owl in. She took the letter and read it. Miss Granger, You will be going on a date with Jason Parker to the zoo. The date will start at 10 am and will end at 1 pm. Thank you One Single Rose.

She laid the letter back on the table and made herself some tea. When she finished the tea she went to take a shower. The shower was nice. She was enjoying the water on her and took longer then she normally did. She had just turned off the shower and heard knocking on her front door. She wrapped the towel around her and went to the door she peeked in the peek hole and saw that it was Harry. She yelled "Give me just a minute and I will open it." Hermione ran back to her room put on the first thing she saw. She went back to the door and opened it. Harry was standing there with a big smile on his face. It made Hermione's heart skip a beat. "Harry what are you doing here?",asked Hermione. "I was in the neighborhood and my belly was letting me know that breakfast was looming around the corner. So I thought that since I was near your home I would stop by and see if you had anything for breakfast.", said Harry leaning on the door frame. Hermione could not help but to smile. "I have not had breakfast yet so why don't you come in and I can see what I can make." said Hermione moving out of the way so that Harry could come in.

Harry stood in Hermione living room looking around. "You know when I was here last time I did not get a tour of your place you were too upset. So Hermione what do you say about showing me around." said Harry looking at her with puppy dog eyes and pouting lips. Hermione knew she still needed to dress and Harry did say he was hungry. "Harry how about we go to the kitchen and I cook us something and then when we are done eating I will show you around." Harry nodded his head. Hermione moved in front of him and took a hold of his hand. The moment she grab his hand a shock went through her. It was enough to make her let go of his hand. "Hermione, are you OK?", asked Harry. "Did you feel it?", whispered Hermione just low enough that he was not able to hear her. "What?", said Harry looking at Hermione. "Nothing, I'm OK.", said Hermione taking his hand again and going to the kitchen.

When they got in the kitchen Hermione had Harry sit down at the table while she went to the refrigerator. Hermione open the refrigerator and looked around. She decided that she was going to cook them some eggs. She had just leaned in to grab the eggs when she felt something on her hand. Harry had moved from the table and came to stand behind Hermione. "So what did you decided to fix?", whisper Harry in Hermione ear. "I was thinking about making us some eggs." said Hermione slowing her breathing down before Harry noticed. Her face had turned red and she wished that Harry would back up a little so she could breath. "How about you grab the eggs and I'll go and get the pan.", said Hermione. Harry let go of Hermione's hand and move back to let her out. "That sounds good.",said Harry.

Hermione went to the sink and bent down to the cabinet. She took out the frying pan and put it on the stove, while she was getting the pan she was wondering why would Harry do that. Did he know what he was doing to her? Did he see the way that he effects her. She stood up and there was Harry with the eggs. "So Harry, How do you like your eggs?", asked Hermione. "I like them scrambled.", said Harry. "OK, well will you look in that cabinet right above you and take out a big bowl." smiled Hermione. Harry got the bowl and gave it to Hermione. "Thank you. You can go back and sit down I'll take care the rest.", said Hermione taking the bowl from him.

Hermione did not cook many eggs the only reason the eggs were in the refrigerator was so she could use them for her other foods that need them. So when she got the eggs and cracked them in the bowl and began to stir and not whip them Harry had to step in. "Hermione lay down the bowl.", said Harry getting up and going to the refrigerator. Hermione lay down the bowl and watched Harry in the refrigerator. He came out with the milk and some cheese. He came to stand by her. He put in just a little bit of milk in the bowl and ripped the cheese and put it in. "Hermione pick up the bowl.", said Harry getting a fork. Hermione got the bowl. Harry moved behind her. " Hold the bowl with your left hand close to your body." Harry then placed his hand on top of Hermione's. "Give me your other hand.", said Harry. Hermione held her right hand up. Harry put the fork in it and then covered her hand with his. "Hold it like you would hold your quill. She did it mutely even as Harry used her hand as a surrogate to whip the eggs for her.

Hermione found it very hard to breath. He was so close and it was driving her crazy. His hands on her was so soft and she fit so well next to him. "See when we do it like this the eggs get more air in them. When they cook they will be more fluffier." said Harry still whipping. Hermione turned her head around as much as possible and all she could see while he was talking was his lips. They looked so soft and for just a second she wonder what it would be like to be kiss by them. Harry finished talking and Hermione was still looking at his lips and then they began to lower.

She froze sure she had thought about it, what it would be like to kiss him. The lips were soft just like she thought they would be. Harry was kissing her. What was she to do? She still was not sure what she wanted with him. She still had Daniel she needed to find out about. She was a little confused and felt until she could sort out her feelings she needed to break the kiss. She moved her head back and stopped the kiss. "Hermione, I'm sorry, said Harry. Hermione laid the bowl on the counter and with her back still to Harry she told him,"Harry you need to leave." "What, why , what about breakfast?", said Harry standing behind her. "Harry, I can't deal with this right now." Harry placed is hand on her shoulder. "Hermione?" question Harry. Hermione brushed his hand off her stilled herself and yelled, "Harry leave now!" "Fine I got it I'll leave," Harry left the kitchen and a few seconds later the front door slammed. Hermione turned around and slipped down the counter. What was she to do? She pissed off Harry. She had so much going on in her head and when Harry's lips touched her the sparks were there and it was hard for her to pull away. She just needed to sort out those feelings and she did not want to lead him on. She had to do something and telling him to leave was for the best. She would go say sorry to him tomorrow.

Hermione picked herself off the floor and went to her room to get ready for date number 7. Harry and her feelings for him would have to wait for another day. She was going to the zoo so she went with a pair of blue jean shorts and blue t-shirt. She put her hair up in a pony tail and put on her trainers. She went to the kitchen grab the port key and felt the tug and was gone.

I know it was shorter then the others. There you have it. Please review and tell me what you thought. Thank you Mea346
