Chapter 2: The Game
(Hermione's POV)
Hermione
saw Ginny and Harry walk back from the Kitchen. Hmmm, Ginny what were you
doing?
"Okay everyone. Time for a good
spirited party game. Hmm, how about…Spin the Oversized Wand?" said Harry in a
loud voice.
"What is Spin the Oversized Wand?"
Hermione asked.
"Easy, you take the oversized wand
and spin it. Whoever it lands on you have to either kiss, hug, or whatever else
the wand tells you to do.. it will shoot up sparks with directions. It senses
the people who have an interest in each other. " Ron told her. His ears turned
red.
"Okay.."
"Yeah let's play it!" said Seamus
with a playful look at Lavender.
So the game began. First Dean spun
it, and it landed on Parvati. The wand shivered and purple sparks flittered out
and glistened the words: Hug. So they did. It looked almost painful, but they
were good sports about it. Next it was Ron's turn. It landed on Hermione. Red
sparks shot out this time. They swirled around and formed the words: French
Kiss.
"Hey, do you think that means
something?" teased Seamus.
Hermione
turned white. HOW EMBARRASSING! How can I do that in front of all of my
friends? Shit!!! Now my stomach hurts…L.
"Come on guys you HAVE to do it!"
Ron
walked over to her. Hermione stood up. She saw Ron lean over. She closed her
eyes. And it happened. Hermione felt Ron's warm lips mesh with hers. They were
soft and sweet tasting. Ron placed his hands on Hermione's face. They kissed twice and then Hermione opened
her mouth and felt Ron slide in his tongue. He wasn't aggressive or rough. It
was nice. When the kiss ended she remembered that there were other people in
the room. They all cheered. Hermione went scarlet, and so did Ron.
Ron went back to his spot in the circle. The game
continued but Hermione wasn't paying attention to the game until she noticed it
had said to hug Neville. She was staring at Ron mostly. She was off in her
dreamland. She was jerked out of her trance only when Harry announced that they
were putting names in a hat for 'Seven Minutes in the Broom Closet'. Hermione
grabbed a piece of paper and scrawled out her name and handed it to Harry to
throw in the hat. What if I get someone else!? What if I get Seamus, or
Neville? Oh please oh please!
Ginny swished the names around and plucked one out. "Seamus and…" she fished another out of the hat, "Lavender. You're first. Go into the closet over there. We'll tell you when 7 minutes is up." They looked delighted. They turned the lights on in the family room and milled around and talked. Hermione went over and sat on the sofa with Ron. She was going to do it. She was going to tell him.
"Ron. I need to tell you
something. I, uh….erm… I like you, okay? A lot, for a long time. I know you
probably don't like me, but, with what happened I thought I should.."
"Have you gone crazy? Hermione. I
like you too! Why else would I have not made a fuss about kissing you?"
"That was my first, uh.."
"Me, too. I rather liked it. Did I
choke you?"
"No." Hermione flushed a brilliant
red.
A voice broke the moment. "Okay, Seven minutes are
up. You can come out now."
Lavender and Seamus emerged looking a bit tousled
but happy. "Okay, next victims…" she plucked out another name, "Ron and…."
Hermione waited on bated breath. Then another, "Hermione."
"Milady? Shall we go hither to yon closet?"
"Sure." Hermione answered. Truth be told she was A
LOT nervous, what were they supposed to do?
They went over to closet went in and Ron shut the
door.
"You know we don't have to do anything…we can just
say we did."
"That's okay, Ron. Thank you for giving me the
option. Lets go."
Ron pulled her gently to him. Things went faster
this time. Hermione placed her lips firmly on his. They kissed. Hermione leaned
up against the wall and the kiss deepend. "You want me to?" she gestured to her
shirt.
"Only if you want to, Hermione. I won't think any
less of you for not."
She nodded and started to unbutton her shirt. When
she reached the last button she let it roll of her shoulders and topple onto
the floor. She saw Ron stare at her open mouthed. Feeling the need to be fair,
she assumed, he pulled of his shirt. Hermione noticed muscles. She felt Ron
place his hands delicately on her. He was never rough or hard with her, always
gentle. They started to kiss again. This time was much more delicate. Ron's
hands felt cold on Hermione's bare skin. She had left her bra on; they weren't
at that stage yet. She was definitely going to wait. Just as they were winding
down ever so slightly Hermione heard Harry call, "Ok times up!" Hermione pulled
back and smiled. She was about to open the door when Ron said, "Hermione, maybe
you should put your shirt back on before you go out."
She giggled and said, "You know, that might help. I
would be sitting out there thinking, 'Why the hell is it so cold in here?'."
She dressed quickly and Ron got his shirt back on. They emerged into the light.
"Have fun you two?" asked Ginny. Then she whispered
to Hermione, "Your shirt is on inside out." Hermione went pink.
"Thanks, Gin. Ron I'll be right
back."
Hermione went into the downstairs bathroom and
quickly rearranged herself. When she came back in people were talking. "Who
went in?" she asked.
"Harry and Ginny," said Lavender.
