LATER THAT NIGHT…
"Well, I'm going to turn in. Goodight." Hermione said, getting up from the couch.
"Night Sparrow." Ron said.
"Nite Herm." Lavender replied.
"Goodnight, Mione." Harry said in a wisper
Hermione walked up the steps. Harry sighed. Lavender looked at him.
"You like her, don't ya Harry?" Lavender asked, raising her eyebrow.
"How do you DO That??" Harry asked. Lavender always knew when someone liked someone.
Lavender shrugged. "You're a powerful wizard. I can match people. We all have our gifts."
"Go up their and tell her." Ron said, giving Harry a nudge.
"I can't…What if she doesen't like me…what if I ruin what we have, what if-" Lavender stopped him
"WHAT if someone gets to her before you?" Lavender asked.
Harry looked at her, and with that, Harry jumped up of the couch, and ran up the stairs. He didn't knock, but burst into the room. Hermione was standing the in the middle of the room, she quickly wrapped her robe around her, and yelled.
"HARRY!" Hermione yelled.
"Oh god, Hermione! I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. I should have knocked."
"Yes you should have, Harry…I-I." Hermione began, but her eyes fluttered, and she countiued to repeat
'I'. Harry looked at her.
"Hermione, are you alright?" Harry asked. But, Hermione fainted, right into Harry's arms. He began to shake her.
"Hermione? Hermione, wake up…" Harry said.
But she didn't wake, Harry looked around, and decided to lay her on her bed, which he did, but accidently fell on her. Then Lavender walked in.
" Is everything…ooh." Lavender said. Harry jumped up. Lavender covered her mouth, and began to giggle.
"Its not what it looked like." Harry said, trying to explain.
"It's okay if you want to express your feelings like that, Harry…" Lavender said, continuing to giggle
"No! She passed out before I could say anything…" Harry exclaimed
"What! Hermione!" Lavender said, racing over to Hermione's bed.
She took out her wand and said, 'umous opanous'. And Hermione's eyes fluttered open.
"Hermione? Are you okay…you passed out." Lavender said.
"wha-What? Yeah…I'm fine. Just…exhusted from all of todays excitement." Hermione said, sighing.
"Well, we'll let you sleep." Harry said, also sighing. Lavender looked at him. Harry shrugged.
"All right…" Hermione said, turing over. Harry and Lavender walked out of the room.
"Don't worry, Harry. You can tell her later." Lavender said, putting a hand on Harry's arm.
"Yeah…" Harry wispered.
The next day, Hermione didn't feel to well. So, while all of her friends went outside to play In the new freash snow, Hermione sat in a chair by the window and watched them. She thought about Harry. She sighed, 'one day I'll fly away…Why live life from dream to dream…' Harry suddenly came through the common room, with snow flakes in his hair, and on his cloak. He brushed them off. And took of his cloak
"Hey Mione." Harry said.
"Hi Harry." Hermione said, looking up from her book.
"Feeling better?" Harry said, walking over to her.
"Not really…" she said, setting her book down.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"That's okay…er…how's the snow?" she said, trying to make converstation.
"It's fine…" He replied.
Hermione looked into his emerald eyes. 'I could look into them all day…'Hermione then began to laugh.
Harry stared at her. 'she looks so cute when she laughs..' He then wondered.
"Why are you laughing?" Harry asked, giving her a glance.
"Because, your shirt is inside out." She said, though her giggles.
Harry looked down, she was right. Harry advanced towards her and attacked her with a tickle fight.
"Harry please!" she cried.
Harry then picked her up from the chair, and through her down on the couch, he began to tickle to more widly. Suddenly he stopped. He reilazied that he was on top of her, he was about to get up when she wisperd.
"Wait...don't go..." she said, grabbing his arm.
Harry looked at her, 'now or never' he thought. He moved his head towards Hermione's slowly. He took a breath, and gently kissed her on the lips. Then moved his head away alittle, put his finger under her chin, and tilted it up then, kissed her again with more passion. Hermione moved her hands up behind Harry's neck, Harry then wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist.
Just when they were really getting into the passion, Hermione stopped him.
"What is it?" Harry asked.
"What does this mean, Harry? Is it lust…or do you like me?" Hermione said, pleding with his eyes.
Harry looked at her, he coulden't lie to those beautiful eyes that looked longliy into his.
"I like you, Mione…a lot. Ever since me and you sang together. Do..Do you like me?" Harry asked. Hermione looked up at him and smiled.
"I like you a lot, Harry…" she wispered.
Harry then began to kiss her again. But, they stopped before they did anything stupid.
"I think I'm feeling much better now, Harry…" Hermione said, with a little smile.
