God, I'm a moron.
What kind of moron runs away from Harry Potter... when aboveall, he wants to kiss you! I should add he's your best friend, but that's notimportant.
I walked around the freezing lake until my hair practicallygrew icicles, just thinking.
I found a rock to sit on. And I pondered some more.
I sat until it turned dusky and I had to go inside becauseof the biting wind.
I walked and walked until I reached the Gryffindor CommonRoom. I must have taken a long shortcut, I don't remember.
"Hermione, there you are!" Lavender exclaimed.
"Hi." I said meekly.
"How long did you last?" She asked timidly.
"Not very long. I totally freaked out." I said.
"But why! You love him so much!" She said flabbergasted.
"I… I don't know. I just know running away." I confessed.
She crossed her arms. "That's so sad! He must feel reallybad."
"Thanks for making it worse." I snapped.
"Ok, Ok. Sorry." She said defensively. "I'll go talk tohim."
I grabbed her arm. "Please, don't. Get Ron to or someone."
"Mmm… I don't know. I'm really good at talking to people."She said, thinking out loud.
"FINE! I'll go talk to him." I said angrily.
"That's my girl, Herm!" She said brightly.
"Yeah, yeah." I muttered.
"Harry?" I asked, knocking on the boy's dorm door.
"Have you come to make a bigger fool out of me?" He askedcoldly.
"No, I just want to talk." I pleaded.
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood. Why don't you go run away?" Hesaid angrily.
"Look, I'm sorry. I totally freaked out! I've never kissedanyone… in my entire life besides my parents!" I exclaimed.
"There's a first time for everything." He said huffily.
I pondered on this quotation for a moment. "Yes, that'strue."
I paused for a few moments. "Can I come in now?"
He paused. "Fine."
I creaked open the door and found Harry sitting on his bed,playing with his wand.
I sat down next to him.
"So…" I said, uneasily.
"So…" He repeated.
"Do… you want to give it another shot?" I asked smiling.
He nodded.
I scooted closer to him. I felt his breath. As our lips met,a tingling sort of electrical current made me shiver. After 10 seconds, I brokethe kiss.
"Better?" He asked.
"Much." I said smiling.
God! That practically killed me to write! JI mean, I'm not in a romantic mood so I kind of pieced something together.Don't worry, more mushiness from yours truly soon!
