IX.

JUST ONE KISS

"We might be too late, Hermione!" Ginny shouted behind Hermione. They had passed through the secret tunnel from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade which was drawn on the Marauder's Map. Plus they weren't running. They were on their brooms. The way was very narrow yet they managed.

"We have to hurry. If we're too late Harry will be gone forever! You don't want that to happen do you?"

"Of course not!" Ginny said loudly.

"Then hurry up!"

"Do you think I'm beautiful?" Harriet said, looking away. She was trying to lure him.

This is super gross!

"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," Draco replied. He held her chin up to his face gently and looked into those eyes… those eyes looked very familiar. It looked like the eyes of Draco's nemesis… Draco brushed away the hairs that covered Harriet's eyes as he leaned his face closer to her.

No! Please don't!!! Harry thought… Ginny… That was the only name that came into his mind and the only image that Harry feared never to see again. Ginny… is this goodbye?

Draco's lips was now getting closer and closer… one inches more now… he closed his eyes.

Just one kiss and I'll live… Harriet thought.

"STOP!!!"  Ginny yelled as she came running across the street. It was unfortunate that Draco didn't hear her, but Draco had opened his eyes and he stared at those green eyes, which looked up at him until Ginny grabbed Harriet's arm too harshly that she lost her balance and rolled down the grassy little slope and landed on top of Harriet at the bottom of the little hill.

"Ginny…" Harriet said.

Ginny… Harry thought.

"Ginny," Harry said, raising his head closer to Ginny's face.

"Harry…"

Then before Harriet could react, Ginny kissed… Harry. It wasn't a one-second kiss; it was a long deep kiss.  Ginny had placed her hands behind Harry's head and when they parted, she was then staring at Harry's green eyes.

"Harry… I ah…" Before she could speak, Harry had kissed her again.

By this time, Hermione and Draco had came down from the top and were now looking at the Ginny and Harry enviously.

"Oh great! I almost kissed… him! Eww! Yuck!" Draco exclaimed. He turned towards Hermione who was staring back at him. They stared at each other for a long second then before they both knew it, they were already kissing. Draco had pinned Hermione against a tree and his hands were rested on her waist. It was just a spark of a moment! Nothing personal… I guess…

                When Harry and Ginny parted, they stood up and caught Draco and Hermione behind the tree, making out.

"Let's go back," Harry suggested.

"Uh… Harry?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah?"

"Don't look now, but… you're wearing a miniskirt and a very, very sexy blouse that's too tiny for you…"

Is this the end? Or is this the end?
