Chapter Four

The Kiss



Ron and Hermione came by the house one August afternoon to visit. Serena and Hermione went upstairs, while Harry and Ron stayed downstairs. "So," Ron said sitting down on the couch. "Did you ask Serena out yet?" Harry blushed. "No, not yet. I'm waiting for the right time." Ron glared at him. "And when will that be, when you're 30! Come on Harry, you know you like her. She is all you've talked about for two weeks! Harry, she's not going to be single forever, the time is now!" Harry looked at Ron. "You're right, I got to stop making excuses for myself. I'm going to ask her out right now!" Harry stood up and went upstairs. "Yes, now that's the Harry Potter I know." Ron said following him.



Serena and Hermione were going threw Serena's closet and talking about the usual, boys. "So, has Harry ask you out yet?" Serena gave Hermione one of her alter tops and sighed. "No." She sat down on the bed. "I don't know what to do. I know he wants to ask me, but every time, he stops mid- sentence and leaves." Hermione sighed. "Harry is nervous when it comes to girls. How about you tell him how you feel." Serena smiled. "Yeah, maybe I should." Just then there was a knock on the door. "Come in." Harry and Ron walked in. Hermione smiled and ran into Ron's arms. "Hi sweetie," Ron said lightly kissing her. Hermione smiled. "Like my new top, Serena gave it to me." "Darling, you look smashing!" He pulled Hermione close to him and started kissing her neak and shoulder. Hermione giggled. Harry and Serena rolled their eyes and sighed. "Oh brother," they said in unison. Harry turned to Serena and smiled. "Serena, I was wondering, if you're not busy tonight, they're showing this cool movie at the theatre, and I was wondering if you would like to go with me?" Serena smiled. "Harry Potter, are you asking me out on a date?" Harry blushed slightly. "Yeah, I guess I am." "I would love to Harry." "Great," Harry said smiling. Ron and Hermione smiled. "About time," Ron whispered. Hermione smiled and cheaked her watch. "Ron, we better go, you know how your mom gets if we're not home by dark." Ron sighs, "you're right. We better get going." The four walked downstairs. "You two have fun tonight," Hermione said. "We will," Serena and Harry said as Ron and Hermione drove off.



Harry walked downstairs into the living room where he saw Sirius sitting in the chair reading the paper. Harry was wearing his new green shirt, the one that matched his eyes, his kaki pants, and his new Nike tennis shoes. Sirius looked up and smiled. "You look nice, going somewhere?" Harry smiled. "Yeah, Serena and I are going to the movies." Sirius smiled. "That's nice. Don't be out too late." "We won't I promise." Harry heard footsteps coming downstairs. He turned and saw Serena standing in the doorway. His jaw dropped, she was beautiful. Serena was wearing a lavender v-cut short-sleeved shirt with dark blue jeans and black boots. Her hair was down and was resting on her shoulders. "Hi Uncle Sirius, Harry are you ready?" Harry blinked a few times before he gave an answer. "Yeah, I'm ready, let's go." They made their way out the door. "Have a good time," Sirius cried as the door shut behind them. He opened his paper again and smiled. "I guess I do owe Ron five galleons."





Harry and Serena walked upstairs laughing. They had just gotten back from the movies. They stopped at Serena's door. "Thanks for the movie Harry, I really had a good time," Serena said smiling. Harry smiled "I'm glad you did, I did too." They're eyes met, like they did out in the backyard a few weeks ago. "Serena," Harry began, "I don't know how to tell you this but, and I like you. I've been thinking about nothing but you since that night in the backyard." Serena looked at him and smiled. "Harry, I like you too. I've been thinking about you day and night." She hugged him. Harry hugged her back. Their eyes met again. All the feelings they felt weeks ago came back. Harry didn't know what possessed him to do it, but just then, he pulled Serena close to him, and kissed her. Serena grew tense for a moment, but then relaxed and melted into the kiss. They parted and Harry gently touched Serena's cheek. Serena smiled. "It's late, we should get to bed." "Yeah, I guess we should." They said goodnight and walked into their rooms with smiles on their faces.



Serena walked downstairs the next day into the kitchen and saw Sirius and Harry at the table eating. She looked at Harry and smiled. The kiss they shared last night was still fresh in her mind. Sirius looked up and smiled. "Well, there's the sleepyhead." Serena smiled. "Morning Uncle Sirius." She sat down beside Harry and started eating. "I was thinking that the three of us could go somewhere and have some fun. You are going back to school Monday. While Sirius was talking, Serena felt Harry's hand slip into hers. She looked at him and smiled. There was a knock on the door and Sirius got up to get it. Harry moved close to Serena and wrapped his arms around her. "Serena, will you be my girlfriend?" Serena wrapped her arms around his neak and kissed him. She smiled. "Does that answer your question?" Harry smiled and kissed her. Sirius walked back in and saw them kissing. He smiled and cleared his throat. Harry and Serena quickly parted. "Well, I'm guessing you two had a good time last night." Serena smiled. "Yeah," she looked at Harry, "it was great."
