It was late in the evening and Hermione and I are still researching how I would survive this bloody Tournament. Hermione never left my side even if the whole school and magical Britain at large was against me. You see I was entered to this bloody Tournament without my consent. The Tournament was supposed to be for of Age students only. But suddenly for unknown reasons my name was also included as a Champion. Since then everyone was antagonizing me, except for Hermione. All my friends seem to have left me after that incident, even my best mate Ron has left and called me a cheater. Sure some of them came through and apologized but that was after Hermione talked to them. But still when they taught that I was not paying attention they would whisper and talk behind my back. Really only Hermione has been the only one who stuck to my side from the beginning. Yeah there were some who wanted to side with me, but decided not to associate with me so as to not be included in the antagonization. And now here we are researching on how to keep me alive. Hermione was so deep in concentration that she never realized that I was staring at her. During this Tournament fiasco I came with a realization about her, and that realization is the reason that I'm staring at her now. I fancy Hermione Jean Granger, on how that started I don't know maybe it was the first year on the potion obstacle, maybe it was when she was petrified or I don't know maybe it was that Hippogriff ride, definitely the Hippogriff ride. The fact that she never left my side makes me realize my feelings for her. So now here we are with her at my side again trying to keep me alive again. She just looks so cute when she concentrates like this, her brows all furrowed while she reads in concentration, biting her lip when she comes across something then her left hand quickly scribbling it away without her looking. After a couple of minutes of me staring at her. She finally noticed. "Something wrong Harry? Do I have something on my face?" she asks. "Uhhh no nothing. Ahh you just look so serious reading that book." I replied while scratching my cheek with my index finger to appear nonchalant at what had transpired.
A few more hours passed before we decided to call it a night. I helped Hermione return the books to their proper shelves. When we reached the isle that's deserted, I suddenly thought that I might not come back alive from this tournament. Then out of nowhere I grab Hermione and pushed her on one of the shelves. "Harry! Wha-" Hermione exclaimed suddenly but was cut off by my lips pressing on her. At first she didn't respond, probably too shocked at my action. But after a few seconds she responded. It was the best feeling ever. Granted it was sloppy since it was my first, and probably her first too. But still it was a bliss. The kiss felt it lasted for an hour but in reality it only lasted for a minute. As our lips parted she looked at me confused and flustered, then suddenly I realized what I had done. "Oh Merlin! What have I done. I'm so sorry Hermione. I don't know what came over me. You could hex me. You could curse me. You could Transfi-." My ramblings were cut short by Hermione kissing my cheek then hugging me. "Uhh Hermione?" I asked her confused. "You don't know how long I've waited for that" She answered and hugged me tighter. "Ever since you saved me from the troll I already fancied you. My knight in shining robes jumping on the back of a full grown mountain troll. My avenger from basilisk. My protector from dementors." she took a breath. "And now my very own Champion." she added. I was shocked by all that she said. She painted me as someone that you may read on one of those fictional books. Though the story might be different. "Uhh sure" I answered her lamely, not knowing what to do I hugged her back. She then snuggled into me deeper. Making me all warm inside. A cough interrupted our little snuggling session, which startled the two of us. "Ms. Granger I expected more from you. That you will not use the library for such acts." Madam Pince said quite angrily at us for using the library for such acts. "The two of you will be spending detention with me for a week. Under my supervision." she added in a stern voice. I glanced at Hermione to see her reaction. She was crestfallen that one of her favourite school staff was angry at her. Though I can see in her eyes that she did not regret what we did. Apparently Madam Pince caught us kissing between the shelves. After dismissing them the two went for the Gryffindor tower, unconsciously or consciously they held hands. Looks like the future is turning bright.
