====--==--==--==--==--==--==CHAPTER 15==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==
Hermione caught up with Harry right only moments after he had entered the forest.
"There you are!" Hermione whispered excitedly.
"What are you doing here?" Harry said casually.
"Can I please just talk to you?"
"Oh all right, just for a sec, I owe it to Ron to help him find Lavender."
"So do I… but I also want to tell you something." Hermione said as she tried to pull Harry deeper into the forest but with no avail.
"Herm," Harry said grabbing her arm. Hermione sighed.
"I know what you are about to say."
"And what would that be?" Hermione asked slightly amused.
"Knowing you, you were probably going to say, 'You were being really childish back there when you blew up and…' well something along those lines I'm sure" Harry said.
"Ugh, you know I wasn't going to say that Harry!"
"I know, its just fun to see you get annoyed so easily." Harry replied smiling.
"Well be that as it may, I just wanted to say sorry, you seemed mad when you went off towards the forest." Hermione commented sitting down on a rock.
"Maybe it was because you acted as though you didn't believe me? But when Ron said it – you believe him."
Silently, Hermione stood up and wrapped her arms around Harry's neck,
"I'm sorry" she whispered giving him a hug. Harry placed his arms around her waist and returned the embrace.
"Its okay." Harry said rocking side to side a little not letting go.
Hermione pulled back just a little and looked up at Harry who was grinning now. Harry's hands were now on Hermione's waist, and her arms were resting on his.
"Thank you Harry."
"What for?" Harry asked making Hermione smile a bit.
"For forgiving me."
"There was nothing to forgive!"
Hermione grinned at Harry who leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips. When he pulled back he smiled down at a still gleaming Hermione who after a few seconds thought, threw her arms around his neck and met his lips once more.
"And thank you for that" Hermione whispered stepping out of his grasps but taking his hand in her own.
"We really need to look for Lavender you know?" Hermione said pulling Harry to come with her.
"Yea, I suppose we do owe that to Ron…"
Hermione smiled at the tone of his voice, he didn't want to look for Lavender as much as she didn't.
"Hey!" Hermione whispered stopping abruptly.
"What?"
Hermione put a finger to her mouth then pointed to the bushes next to them. Harry gave her a puzzling look, but then he heard some muffled voices coming from the direction she was pointing in. Harry raised his eyebrows and she nodded. They made their way to the tall hedge and peered through the branches and saw a clearing.
There in the clearing was Draco and Lavender discussing something they were planning to do. Hermione was ecstatic; they would be able to hear everything! She turned to mouth something to Harry but suddenly a hand grasped over her mouth. Right before she was knocked unconscious she caught a glimpse of Harry's limp body on the ground next to her.

Ron smiled to himself; he had to tell Parvati that he finally got Hermione and Harry alone together. He sprinted up to the Gryffindor Common Room, he knew she would be thrilled. After scurrying through the portrait hole, he was surprised to see that Parvati wasn't there, and what was even stranger nobody was except a couple of 1st and 2nd years. Then it dawned on him; it's a Hogsmeade weekend. So thinking that he would give Hermione and Harry some more time together he flew up the stairs to the 6th grade boy's dorm.
"Petrificus Totalus" said a tiny voice from the corner of the dormitory. Ron fell to the ground making a small thump. Parvati ran and turned him over.
"You helped us a lot by letting Hermione and Harry go by their lonesome into the forest. It was much easier to get them by having you three split up, though we were lucky that they were looking through the bushes, because somehow they found each other."
Ron stared wide-eyed at the now grinning Parvati.
"You didn't think that I was part of their plan now did you? Good, so far everything is going nicely. And even more so it was lucky that it was a Hogsmeade weekend, for it would be much harder to do this without anybody knowing."
"You don't talk much do you?" Parvati smirked, "Well, Well, Well… I am going to need some help moving you now aren't I?"
"You are a very big boy now, not as scrawny as you used to be…" she smiled, "Yes, well I believe Crabbe could easily lift you well enough."
"Oh, but I will have to be able to get him in to the Gryffindor Common Room unnoticed…"
"Hmmm… I just need to evacuate the little 1st years and 2nd years, that should be easy enough, cause some sort of distraction…"
"I got it!"
"Please don't get up, I'll be back shortly" Parvati grinned at the horrorstricken Ron, and then headed out the door.
