Like wise, when the boys arrived in the compartment that Hermione had taken 'senior
privilege' to have, they continued to talk about their summer. Ron had been gone most of the
summer visiting his brother in Norway, and working for him. Although they had owled each
other, even Harry and Ron hadn't heard much about what they were doing, and Hermione hardly
heard anything from Ron.
Once Ron was done with explaining his summer he asked Hermione what they had done, and
if Harry and herself had done anything together. The two quickly looked at each other, and
then Harry nodded and said, "hey… before we get into lengthy conversation about Hermione's
boring and educational summer, want to go grab us some food off the trolley?"
Ron nodded as Harry piled a good load of knutz and gallons to buy several pocketfuls
of candy from the lady. He got up and swiftly went to the trolley leaving Harry and Hermione
there to discuss what they should say.
"We should tell him." Harry said.
"Not like this," she whispered even though Ron was several rooms down.
"When then? When will be the right time? Because I think it would be worse to tell
him later." Harry said almost pleading her with his eyes.
"Harry, women are always right." She touched his hand lightly with her own, "you'll
have to trust me." He quickly clasped her hand in his own and brought it to his lips to
gently kiss the top of her hand. Then rotating her hand she cupped his cheek in a loving
motion.
Harry, hearing movement close to the compartment took her hand kissed the palm of it
lightly and sweetly and the quickly pushed it away. When Ron re-entered the compartment the
two were laughing about some stupid thing that they recalled during the summer. Even as she
laughed, Harry saw a glint in Hermione's eyes that he was beginning to know well.
After a few chocolate frogs and foul flavored beans, Hermione told Ron and Harry about
her summer. Which she included most of the boring details about learning from her new books
and nothing of her exciting adventures with the boy across from her.
