The Meeting
She knocked. The door opened slowly.
"Yes?" said Harry, without looking up from the papers in his hand. He was still wearing a suit, but didn't have the jacket on. He was wearing a red tie also.
"Hello, Harry." said Hermione shyly. Harry looked up and stared into her eyes.
"H-h-hello, Hermione. What are you doing here?" he said shakily.
"I need to talk to you." she answered.
"Um.okay. Come in, please." said Harry. She walked into a room with a couch and a television. There were papers on the coffee table, and more on the kitchen table. Hermione say down on the couch, and Harry sat next to her.
"What is it that you suddenly had to talk to me about? Not to mention that its ten thirty at night." said Harry standing up and walking over to the window.
"Please don't get angry. It's going to be hard to say, but, I'll say it." she started,
"Don't get angry! HA! What do you expect me to do? The girl I loved who wouldn't talk to me for the last year and a half shows up and wants to talk to me! HA!" said Harry, raising his voice.
"You don't need to make this more difficult than it already is!" said Hermione standing up and facing Harry. "Now, listen to me."
"Okay, I'll listen." said Harry, turning to face her.
"I came here to tell you that I still love you." Harry's eyes opened wide and his mouth dropped over. "The other night, Seamus proposed to me, and I thought I was in love with him, until he asked me that question. Then I realized that I still loved you."
"Okay, pinch me because I think I'm dreaming. Seriously, now." said Harry with a confused look on his face.
"Okay, maybe this will wake you up." Hermione walked over to Harry and kissed him gently.
"Wow, I'm awake now." said Harry.
"Sorry that I ever got mad at you. But when you hugged Ginny on the day she got engaged, my heart just broke.
"Oh, so that's why you're mad. I was just congratulating her for getting engaged. You don't think that she liked me, and just when she got engaged too? We're good friends, that's all. She has a baby now, so I can't fall in love with her because she's married. I can't believe you got mad over something like that!" said Harry, pushing her away from him.
"Sorry to bother you. I'll just go now." Hermione picked up her coat and started toward the door. She left and went down stairs and out of the hotel. Harry stood thinking and not moving. It had started to rain while she was in there, and Hermione when outside, not caring, and got soaked in just one minute. She walked quickly to the curb to cross to the parking lot. She was so upset, she chocked to hold back tears.
"Hermione! Wait!" Harry was rushing towards her, getting soaked more and more every step.
"What do you want?" she asked, not turning around. Harry caught up to her, turned her around, and kissed her. The two were soaked, but held on to each other tightly.
Once Harry backed away, he looked at Hermione like he had never looked at her before. "I lied. I still love you. Please don't be mad at me. I never meant to hurt you." said Harry, wiping the water out of his face but it didn't do any good because it was raining so hard.
"I love you too!" said Hermione, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him again. Harry pulled her close to him, trying to keep her dry. Harry led her back upstairs to his room, for she had to make an important phone call.

"Seamus? I'm sorry, but I don't love you. I still love." said Hermione on the phone to Seamus.
"I know...you don't have to say it. I figured that, but I still took a chance. I hope you are very happy, and I'm not mad at you at all. Good bye, Hermione." said Seamus, not sounding sad at all, but rather relieved.
"Good bye." she said. Hermione hung up and looked at Harry. She leaned back against him and fell asleep. They slept all night like that on the couch, not moving. Harry woke when he heard a knock on the door. He was still in his suit and they were both still a little damp. Harry figured it was just room service so he ignored it. The door opened and Ron walked in.
"Harry? I thought." he started.
"Shh.she's still sleeping." said Harry. He moved Hermione and got up to go talk to Ron.
"I thought you two weren't dating anymore? What's the deal?" Ron questioned.
"Well, we talked it out last night, and got through our problems." said Harry, smiling.
"What about Seamus, weren't they dating?" said Ron.
"She called him and explained. He was rather relieved, though." said Harry.
"So, are we still on for lunch?"
"Sure. I think Hermione is going to go home and take a shower and freshen up." said Harry.
"Okay, I'll be back at noon, and you better be ready, because I only have an hour for lunch today. We have a match this afternoon. See you then." said Ron as he went out the door.
Hermione got up and looked at her watch.
"Oh, I have to go to work!" she shrieked.
"Okay, see you tomorrow then?" Harry asked.
"Um.okay. How about I meet you here at.ten?" she asked.
"That's good for me. Bye." Harry kissed her quickly on the lips as she hurried out the door.
She knocked. The door opened slowly.
"Yes?" said Harry, without looking up from the papers in his hand. He was still wearing a suit, but didn't have the jacket on. He was wearing a red tie also.
