Chapter Four- The Kissing Secret
Five weeks later, Hogwarts was pretty much the same again except Ron would cry whenever he ate a peanut for some reason, but other then that, things were going pretty smoothly until one saturday morning. Harry went downstairs to breakfast. As usual, Ron Weasley was eating like a pig and Hermoine Granger with her bushy hair had her nose stuck in a book again. Harry sat down next to Ron and across from Hermoine, eating a waffle.
"G'morning" Ron and Hermoine both muttered, going back to their little 'activities'. "Uh Huh." said Harry as Hedwig flew from the window and right in front of his tray. "Hey ol' pal!" Harry exclaimed, patting the little rascal on his head. He opened up a letter from Sirius:
Dear Harry,
I hope everything's alright. I am getting more thirstier, Harry. I am more hungrier. I think I might have a fever. I know I sound selfish, but please try to check on me once in a while so I can survive. Hope everything's alright okay?

"Is that a letter from...uh Sniffles?" asked Ron. "Sniffles? Or is it Fluffy?" asked Hermoine. Ron and Harry shrugged and all of them crowded around Harry, looking at the letter. "Maybe we should meet him when we go to Hogesmade." suggested Ron.
"Aren't we supposed to go to Hogesmade today?" asked Harry. Hermoine said, "Yes but they cancelled today cuz they have an elf problem." said Hermoine, with a worried face.
"Oh goddd...not the elves again!" mumbled Ron. Hermoine tutted. "Well I'll see you two later, I have to go to the library so I can have an interveiw with Dumbledore. He's thinking of making me a prefect, but since I am not old enough, he wants to make me prepared." she said smiling wide.
"Good luck." said Ron. Suddenly, Harry tried not to gasp as Hermoine kissed Ron on the lips for a long time. Ron tried to look surprised, but he wasn't doing a good job. He looked absoultely normal.
"What in the bloody hell was that?" asked Harry, outraged. "I dunno..." said Ron, giving Hermoine a sneaky look. "Oh!!" Hermoine said, as if she had realized she was doing something Ron. "Oh...just a european goodbye I picked up in uh..Russia." she said, kissing Harry hard on the lips. "Well bye!" she yelled as she ran off. "Um okay?" Harry asked giving Ron a very suspicous look. But Ron just shrugged as if nothing happend. There was something going on, Harry knew. Hermoine had never even been to Russia!
As Harry was passing by the halls, he heard a strange familiar murmer and giggle through one of Dumbledore's forbidden rooms. His heart was beating as he reluctantly pressed his ear against the door and squinted his eye to look through the small opening in the door. He tried not to gasp. There was Ron and Hermoine, hugging each other and Hermoine was giggiling playfully, as if she was playing with a teddy bear. Suddenly, Ron kissed Hermoine and stroked her hair.
"Russia.when did you get a crazy idea like that?" asked Ron, chuckiling. Hermoine sighed and her lips revealed a ghastly grin, and she shrugged. "Oh c'mon Ron, you have to admit we had to come up with something..."
Ron nodded and said, "Yes, but when are we going to tell Harry? Why, Potter's defeated the dark lord for god's sakes! He's not that stupid to believe some rubbish of Russia when it's right there that you know nothing about Russia whatsoever!" There was a long pause and Hermoine finally broke the ice by shoving Ron playfully on his shoulder. "How do you know?" she asked, challenging him with her glorious smile.
Ron returned the smile and hugged her once again. They stayed like that for a minute and Hermoine finally said, "Ron, are you going to tell Harry about the thing?" Suddenly, Harry leaned closer to the door. "I don't know, Herm. After all, when I told you, you started crying all over me!" he claimed.
Hermoine sighed. "Well I am going to miss you...are you sure you'll come over for summer?" she asked.
Ron rolled his eyes and nodded. He held up a hand. "Herm, I am not going to move to Salem yet, I'll move about a few months later." he said and Harry had his mouth half opened. Hermoine sighed and said "I know."
There was another long silence and Hermoine said, "Well, about the going out thing...when are you going to tell him?"
Harry leaned closer. "Soon...Soon..."
Suddenly, Hermoine and Ron gasped. For Harry had leaned over so close, the door had flung open, and they were all face to face with each other.
