Prompt for 26th January 2021: Harry teaching Hermione how to ride the broom. ;) Either during Hogwarts or post-Hogwarts!
'You're not a horrible flier, you know,' grinned Harry after Hermione landed and dismounted shakily. 'You just need a little more confidence,' he added encouragingly.
'You really think so?' asked Hermione hopefully.
'Definitely,' nodded Harry. 'But seriously, what's brought this on? You've never shown much interest in learning how to improve your flying skills.'
Hermione's eyes narrowed. 'I told you not to ask me that,' she huffed.
'I know, but I'm really curious,' pleaded Harry. 'Is it really so embarrassing that you can't even tell me?'
Hermione sighed. 'Fine,' she mumbled. 'I'm doing it to impress Ron.'
Harry's throat suddenly felt rather dry. 'Oh,' he croaked.
'I really like him Harry, and I want him to be impressed with me the next time he sees me on a broom. It's sort of a surprise.' she said.
'Oh, okay,' said Harry.
'Anyway, thank you, Harry,' said Hermione, giving him a quick hug. 'Are you coming in?'
Harry shook his head. 'I'm going to get some flying in. I'll see you later.' She gave him a wave which he returned half-heartedly, his stomach tightening as he fervently wished that he'd plucked up the courage to ask her out before Ron ever did.
