I couldn't believe I just said it......finally after all of these years pining for him from so close, just on the other side of Ron, and now I had finally told him exactley how I felt. A sick knot in the bottom of my stomach had been growing huge amounts with every word that I spoke to him "Harry.......ever since you rescued me from that troll......I've been madly in love with you.....ever since our third year I was dropping hints and you were so dense." I grinned in an irresistible way. "Harry.......I love you"
The knot in my stomach made me feel horrible, anticipating rejection from, him but to my surprise he said to me "I love you too 'Mione". The knot disappeared leaving a wonderful and warm feeling that found it's way through my body until I felt warm all over. I hugged Harry close to me and pulled his face towards mine, gently pressing my lips to his letting my tongue explore his lips until he let them open. Our kisses all the more passionate, I was so caught up in the moment I barely thought what I was doing. I was kissing the boy who lived, THE Harry Potter, the only person I had ever fallen in love with, and it felt wonderful.
The train rolled along its tracks and the time passed quickly without mine or Harry's notice. For the rest of the trip Harry and I did nothing but kiss and talk, though taking a quick break to change into our robes. Harry gave me a disappointed look once I had mine on, and said "Aaaaahhhh, those robes sure aren't form fitting are they?" as he grinned, his brilliant green eyes twinkling. All I could do was grin and say "Well it's a good thing they don't, otherwise you might never get any of your schoolwork done, now would you?" barely containing a giggle from the look on Harry's face, a mixture of disappointment and humor.
I leaned over to kiss Harry again when, the compartment door slid open with a sudden thud and there stood Malfoy flanked by his ugly goons Crabbe and Goyle. Malfoy's eyes gained a malicious mischeivousness and he said "Well well well.......it looks as if Scarhead and the mudblood have finally hit puberty!" letting out a slimy snicker. Afterwards while Crabbe and Goyle let out long idiotic guffaws, I could feel my face blush, and I saw Harry's do the same, the red clashing with his wonderful green eyes. but He stood anyway, gripping his wand in one hand and immediately began snarling "Well it seems that we've gotten a bit farther than you then, doesn't it?" he said coolly. Malfoy's face flushed a light pink and he strted to stalk away mumbling about revenge.
Harry sat down again and looked into my eyes as I stared into his and I said "Thanks, Harry" and pulled him close to kiss him. "If I get a reward like that everytime, then I'll be more than willing to 'defend your honor!'" he said, saying the last of it in a mock chivalrous voice. I couldn't help but laugh as he grinned and I kissed him. Maybe this term would be better, maybe the best one yet.
