You hate me for not updating soon, don't you? I hate myself too. To be honest I've been like coughing a lung up for about a week now and stressing over mid-terms. I shouldn't be typing right now, but I knew you wanted an update so I am. I'm sorry that I keep getting sick! I don't own anything. Enjoy!
"Hermione, do you know where George went?" Draco asked calmly.
"No," I said with a yawn, "But I know where I'm going. Goodnight everyone. I'll see you in the morning."
"Goodnight," Luna said waving.
"I'll see you in our room later Astoria," I said walking to the door.
"Sure," Astoria said resting her head on Draco's shoulder, "I'll see you later."
I walked out of the room and up to the Room of Requirements. Opening the door I saw that the lights were already on and that it wasn't set up like I thought it would be. I looked around and shook my head wandering who had changed it.
"Don't let the door close!" someone yelled urgently.
"Sorry," I said not being able to grab the door soon enough.
"Hermione," the person said walking out of the shadow.
"George," I said my eyes wide, "What are you doing in here?"
"Draco was telling Harry and I that there was something in here for Jerome," George said shrugging, "I offered to get it. That was an hour ago. What about you?"
"I was going to sleep," I said yawning.
"You can still go," he said sitting down, "Although it would have to be on a couch considering no matter what I do nothing in this room with change."
"Great," I said rolling my eyes.
"I wonder why this is going on," he said crossing his arms.
"Because Draco and Astoria want me to tell you that I like you," I said not realizing what I was saying.
"You like me?" he asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Yeah," I said trying to brush it off, "I mean you don't like me that way."
"Says who?" he said standing up and walking to me, "Who says I don't like you?"
"I just assumed," I said biting my lip.
"Don't assumed anything," he said when I was against the wall, "I happen to like you a lot Hermione."
"You do?" I asked hopefully.
"Yes," he said placing his hands on either side of my head, "Is that a problem?"
"No," I said shaking my head, "I just wasn't expecting you to like me."
"You're a smart girl Hermione," he whispered into my ear, "If you paid more attention you would have realized that I like you, a lot."
"How much do you like me?" I asked taking a deep breath.
"A lot," he said kissing me gently.
I froze for a second when his lips touched mine, but I soon got over it and kissed him back. We continued to kiss innocently for awhile before the room started to change. I broke the kiss and looked around the room as everything changed back to the bedroom setting.
"I'm guessing us saying we like each other did the trick," I said calmly.
"I guess so," George said looking down at me, "I really do like you Hermione."
"I really like you too George," I said wrapping my arms around his neck.
"So, will you go out with me?" he asked brushing my hair out of my face.
"Yes," I said kissing him once more, "Of course I will."
"Good," he said laughing.
"Very," I said smiling.
"Now I can do this more often," he said kissing me again.
This time as we kissed the innocence was only there for awhile. The kiss soon became deeper and more intense. This time George broke the kiss and pulled away slowly.
"I should let you go to sleep," George said tugging my hair behind my ear.
"Yeah," I said kissing him once more, "I'll see you in the morning right?"
"Of course," he said grinning, "Goodnight Hermione."
"Night," I said as he left.
Once he was out of the room and the door was closed I fell on my bed and let out a small scream. I was going out with George Weasley! I never thought I'd be able to say that.
I knew that Draco and Astoria were behind this, but I was too happy to be mad at them. Although I knew that once I saw Astoria I was going to be slightly mad at her for interfering.
"Hate me all you want Hermione," Astoria said from the door way, "It was worth it knowing you two are finally together."
"I guess I should say thank you," I said looking at her.
"Yeah," she said like it was obvious.
"Thanks," I said rolling my eyes, "Now let's go to sleep."
"I totally agree there," she said laughing, "I'm going to change and go to bed."
"Night," I said changing quickly and climbing in bed.
After everything that had taken place today I hoped that everything was going to continue this way. And now I understood what Astoria said about moving quickly. Now that I was with George things couldn't happen fast enough. I had to keep myself in check.
If I didn't keep my thoughts to myself and George found out I had a feeling that he might run. I didn't want to lose him not when I just got him. Things were going to well right now for him to find out my thoughts.
"You're thinking too loudly again," Astoria said walking out of the bathroom, "What is it?"
"I know what you mean now," I said sighing.
"About the speed of things?" she asked curiously.
"Yeah," I said sadly, "I want things to go faster, but we just got together, literally."
"I know," she said smiling calmly, "Just realize that you need to just calm down, let things come as they come."
"Thanks," I said smiling back, "Night."
"Night," she said getting under the blankets and falling asleep with me following right behind her.
