Something inside Harry stopped him from running. In fact, he turned around
and ran back to Hermione's room. This time, he didn't feel the urge to
knock. He just opened the door and ran in. Hermione still sat there with a
shocked look on her face.
"Hermione," Harry began. "I- I don't know how to say this, so…umm…I guess
I'll just say it."
Hermione looked up with a still puzzled look on her face.
"Hermione, it's been what…7 years?"
Hermione nodded.
"Well, we've always been great friends right? We- we've always been there
for each other. At least you've been there for me. I don't know if I was
just help," he laughed nervously and put an arm behind his head awkwardly.
"Well, here's the thing…." Harry took a deep breath.
"Hermione, what I'm trying to say is…well, you're the best friend a guy can
ask for. You're so smart and witty. I mean I have other girl friends, well
not girlfriends but friends who are girls. But it's just not the same with
Ginny or Cho or anyone else. I just love being around you. I don't know
what I'm going to do without you next year, or even for the rest of my life.
I know we have our moments and sometimes I just act stupid and pretend I
don't care about you or your opinion but believe me, I still kick myself for
those times. From the first Quidditch match where you saved my life to this
very moment I don't think I can live without you. Hermione, I know you
might not feel the same way about me but…" Harry paused.
"But what?" Hermione asked quietly.
Harry walked over to her bed side and knelt down again. He looked up at
her, took a deep breath and continued.
"But I just have to get this out, it's been inside me for too long.
Hermione Granger, you've stolen my heart. I love you, and I don't think
there is anything in this world or the Muggle world that can keep me away
from you."
Harry saw tears coming out of Hermione's eyes. He got up and started for
the door.
"Harry, that was beautiful, but I have something to tell you," Hermione was
interrupted.
"Don't say it, please don't say that you don't love me back, I know that
already."
"Oh honestly, Harry. Do I have to spell it out for you?"
"Huh?"
Harry had no time to finish his question. Hermione grabbed the front of his
robes and pulled him in for a kiss. It was a sweet, innocent kiss. They
both had their eyes closed and parted seconds afterwards. Hermione still had
a hold of Harry's robes.
"Is that clear enough for you?" Hermione asked with an amused look on her
face.
"Well, I might have to get a second opinion," Harry joked.
The two of them were about to lean in for another kiss when there was
tapping on the window. Hermione let go of Harry and the two of them walked
over to the window. There were two owls there both carrying letters.
Hermione opened the window and the two owls dropped the letters at their
feet and flew off immediately toward the school owlry.
"You were right, it is a cold one," Hermione said picking up the letters
while Harry closed the window. "This is for you," Hermione said handing
Harry the neatly addressed envelope. They both opened their envelopes and
began to read. Hermione went first.
"--Dear Hermione, I know you like Harry and Harry likes you back. For crying
out loud, just get together! Ron.-- What does yours say?"
"--Dearest Harry, I can't take it anymore, in fact none of us can. We,
meaning Ron, Ginny, Seamus and I, have had a conference discussing you and
Hermione. Through the transfer of very important information, I have learned
that you have feelings for Hermione. Feelings beyond just ordinary
friendship, feelings beyond just a crush. I also regret telling you that Ron
has deceived you. But that's insignificant to what you are about to find
out. Hermione shares the same feelings towards you. We are sick of you two
holding your feelings back. You have to express those feelings for each
other. Face it, it's tearing you apart, isn't it? Alright then, that's all I
can help you with, the rest if up to you. Good luck, Lav.-- At least Lav's
had some thought put into it I suppose."
"You'd think they would have written these sooner, it would have saved us a
lot of trouble," Hermione commented with a smile.
"So what does this mean?" Harry asked.
"All those things you told me and more," Hermione replied stepping closer to
Harry. Both of them forgetting the letters, let them fall to the ground.
"It means that I love you, too, Harry."
"Even more than your books?" Harry asked jokingly, wrapping his arms around
her waist.
"So much more," Hermione replied. She wrapped her arms around Harry's neck
when there was another tap at the window.
Harry let out a frustrated groan and let go of Hermione. "What can it be
now?" He went to open the window and another owl flew in with a letter for
Harry.
"It's from Ron," he said. "--Harry, I hope you didn't get any letters for
the past couple days. If you did, please don't kill me. Lav made me do it!
I swear! Anyway…if you plan to hurt me, can it wait until after Christmas
vacation? We all decided to come back early since all of our parents
decided to leave the houses locked with a note pinned to the door stating
that they were out on vacation without us. We'll be back December 30.
Cheers, Ron.--" The owl had flown out in the middle of the letter so Harry
closed the window.
"That's tomorrow." Harry stated.
"Actually, it's past midnight. They're coming back today," Hermione
corrected.
"It doesn't matter…now where were we?" Harry asked letting this letter join
the other two.
