Title: Dancing Isn't as Far as it Goes
It was a few days after Ron had abandoned them on the horcrux hunt. It feels a lot longer than that though for both. There was music playing softly in the tent.
"Hermione?" Harry asked carefully.
The brunette witch turned towards her best friend and asked. "Yes?"
"Dance with me," he said, getting up and holding out his hand for her.
Hermione humored him but truthfully she could never say 'no' to those emerald green eyes. Although he was daft enough to believe that she fancied Ron instead.
"Hermione?"
She gladly took his hand and they started to dance around the tent. It's now or never. She briefly kissed the bespectacled boy when he was looking deep into her eyes. At the sudden kiss Harry's heart skipped a beat in time. It got him thinking more crazy things than usual.
"You shouldn't kiss me like that if you don't mean it that way, Hermione," Harry said.
Hermione smiled and said. "I do."
"Then could you kiss me again then."
And with that their lips met again.
