Ok I'm determined to sort out the situation in this story soon… lol sorry if I don't upload for a while after this college starts soon!!!

Hermione sat in a chair in the common room reading a new book she was given for Christmas. But no matter how much she tried she just couldn't keep track of the plot. She had been back at hogwarts for nearly four days now and her and Harry had barley spoken a word to each other. Obviously Lavender had noticed and had questioned Hermione about it only last night. Hermione couldn't keep to herself and broke down in front of Lavender, telling everything about what happened at Christmas. Lavender had been the perfect friend then, as she always was she comforted her, and encouraged her to talk on and for nearly an hour they had sat and slagged of the male species.

Hermione gave in and placed her book down she put her feet up and a foot rest and looked round the common room quietly singing Bon Jovi songs to herself.

* woooooooo ohhhhh living on a prayeerrrrr. Take me hand and we'll make it I swear wooooooo ohhhhhhhh*

She laughed quietly as she saw dean and seamus having a "heated discussion" on which was better football or quidditch as they always seemed to do never getting bored. She smiled at Neville who looked up her chewing his quill, whilst trying to think of some more answers to his homework. Finally looking out of the window opposite her Hermione saw that it was belting it down with rain and that she could hardly see out of it.

She stood up and walked over to the window and rested her elbows on the sill and out her head in her hands. Looking closer out of the window she could she the quidditch field. And glancing to the sky she saw a small figure flying high up. Hermione, even though so far away, instantly knew that it was Harry who had left the common room, broom over his shoulder, about forty-five minutes ago. Sighing to herself over the air between the two. Hermione finally realised she had had enough. She felt her anger rise in her as she told her self she had had enough of the awkward looks between them, the weird tension that hung in the air whenever they were in the same room and the knowledge that he did have feelings for her but hid from her. And most of all she really wanted to know why he ran away Christmas morning after the kiss.

Quickly walking up to her dorm she found her thick winter cloak and pulled on a pair of boots and made her way back downstairs into the common room. In her anger she didn't take notice of anyone in the common room and just marched through and climbed out of the portrait hole. Still walking determinedly Hermione wasn't taking much notice of where she was going and as she was putting on her cloak accidentally knocked in to the side of someone.

"Watch where your going lo…" Hermione stopped as she looked up and realised who she bumped into her worst enemy Cho Chang.

"Watch it granger. Look where your going next time." Cho said icily to Hermione. Hermione said nothing but glared and turned round and continued to walk out of the font doors and began to make her way to the quidditch field.

Hermione instantly regretted coming outside she was drenched within minutes of stepping out of the doors. But her anger kept her walking solidly towards the field. Luckily for Hermione Harry had come down and was sitting on the gryffindor stands. Hermione walked over but did not go under the shelter of the stands. Harry looked up at her and smiled weakly, shifting uncomfortably.

"We need to talk about this Harry. It cant go on forever you know." Hermione said keeping her voice and a level tone but shouting over the rain.

"Do we have to talk about it now?" Harry asked standing up.

"Well when then Harry?!?!" Hermione shouted louder this time. She couldn't remember a time her being so angry apart form when she slapped Draco in her fourth year. "When's best for you Harry? Tomorrow? Next week? Never? Do you think its just going to go away Harry? It's not if that's what you think. I don't like things as they are. Its terrible not being able to hang out with you and things be as they were."

"Things will never be the same Hermione!" Harry called out to her "Too much has happened for them to be the same! Ive been thinking about you… me… us soo much recently."

"But why did u run away?" Hermione shouted out to him tears welling up her eyes "Why didn't you stay? What did I do so wrong that you had to run away from me?"

"You didn't do anything wrong hermione. Nothing. I ran away because… because…"

"Because…" Hermione repeated.

"I ran away because I was scared Hermione. That's right scared! Me! The infamous Harry potter scared of what he felt towards one person that means so much to him!

Hermione was dumbfounded. She had no idea what to say.

"I… I… erm…"

"Don't say you didn't know Hermione. I have liked you for so long. I always have liked you more than a friend but in a way I didn't want to admit it to myself. I was too scared I would loose you as a friend. Loose what we had and never getting a chance to have more. You're so caring and kind you're always there for people but you never seem to have anyone there for you. I want o be that person Hermione. I was living a lie before I could get over myself and admit to myself let alone anyone else that I love you…" Harry stopped in his tracks and stared at Hermione.

Oh my dear god was all Hermione could think of. She opened her mouth to she something but could her words failed her. He loved her. Hermione turned and began to run away in the rain. Wiping the tears away she felt a strong grasp on her arm. She was spun round came face to face with Harry. He looked so angry and frightened. She stared deep into his deep green eyes. The windows to his soul.

"I mean it Hermione. I love you." Harry said more tenderly. Hermione looked up into his eyes again and could see he meant it. He loved her

"Oh Harry!" hermione said and flung her arms around his neck. She loved the feeling of him so close to her. They stood like that for a couple of minutes. Just standing there in the pouring January rain holding each other.

"I love you too Harry." Hermione whispered in his ear. And pulled away and looked deep into his eyes again and said it again.

"I love you so much"

"Hermione" Harry said tucking her wet hair behind her ears and taking her face in his hands he leaned in closer and placed the gentlest kiss on her lips. Hermione pulled him closer and responded lovingly to his kiss.

"Ain't love grand" Ron said to Lavender hugging her tighter. Both of them had been looking out of the window and had just witnessed their two best friends and the most made for each other couple finally declare their love for each other.

"It sure is Ron Wesley." Lavender replied turning round and began to kiss him demandingly.
