Chapter 4: Talk that Will Last Forever
It was Friday morning and Hermione and Chloe were getting ready for the day. Hermione put on her pale purple eye shadow, her light tan blush, deep black mascara, and magicked her hair straight. She looked beautiful and hoped that Harry would understand how much work she put into it and if he would even care about how she looked. She thought about two years before when she kept changing the way she looked so that Viktor Krum would notice her and ask her to the Yule Ball. Harry had told her in that time that he thought she was beautiful just the way she was and she didn't need all this extra help to make her look better. Then she began to wonder if he had liked her much before then and was trying to clue her in.
"Chloe?" Hermione asked with a small tear forming in her eye from the thought of not noticing the little clues that Harry had given her in the past 2 years about how he felt.
"Yeah Hermione?" noticing the tears forming asked, "What's wrong?"
"I can't stand it. I was just thinking about the past 2 years here at Hogwarts and I just realized all the clues Harry has been giving me and I haven't been noticing them at all. I feel so terrible. I mean, I've felt for him ever since Viktor left Hogwarts after the Triwizard Tournament and he's been sending clues since before then and I just haven't been seeing them." Hermione burst into tears not knowing what else to do. Chloe hugged her cousin while trying to calm her down. "Shh.Shh.Shh. It's alright Hermione, it's alright. It's going to be just fine. In fact, why don't I go get Harry out of the boy's dormitory so you guys can talk and work things out?"
"Okay, thanks Chloe. That would help a lot. I'll be, sniff, waiting down in the common room on the sofa once I've got this mascara off."
There was a knock on the door of the boys' dormitory. "Harry, are you in there? Please come out here. Hermione needs you. I can explain if you'll please come out." Harry and Aaron heard Chloe yelling from the other side of the door. "I'd better get out there if Hermione needs me. It must be important if Chloe had to come up here and get me out of the dormitory. I'm going. Are you guys coming or not?"
"Okay, yeah. I'll just hang with Chloe while you talk to Hermione," Aaron replied.
"Yeah, and I'll find Lavender so we can leave the two of you alone," quickly added Ron.
The three of them left the dormitory and Chloe explained it all to Harry as they were walking down the stairs to meet Hermione in the common room on the sofa.
Harry, after hearing all that Chloe had to tell him about what was the matter, walked over to the sofa and sat down by Hermione who was still sobbing silently. "Hey. Chloe told me some but can I hear from you?" He gently put his arm around her shoulder while she told him all of what she was thinking and feeling. When she was finally finished Harry was almost in tears too. "I.I. never knew you felt that way. I wish you could've told me. I would've been able to help you and things would be better."
"I know. But I was just too afraid and nervous." "It's alright. Do you think we can seize this time and be together for now and forever?"
"Of course. We'd better head down to the Great Hall for breakfast so we aren't late for our first class."
"Right. Lets go then." They walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast, shortly followed by Ron, Lavender, Aaron, and Chloe.
