Harry's Secret: Hermione's Crush
Chapter 6: The Halloween Surprise
A/N: OMG its.. THE SIXTH CHAPTER! Thank you thank you! Anyway, be happy that I dream at night, because that's where I got my idea!
Two months had passed since Draco and Lily's escapade in the Astronomy Tower. They were careful not to look too obvious, since one was a Gryffindor and one was a Slytherin. But, Snape was beginning to notice when Draco wasn't upset being paired with Lily in Potions.
Harry and Hermione had not yet begun to realize that the other liked him or her back. Lily, Ron, Parvati and Lavender tried their best, but they were too stubborn to see the light.
"Oh bloody hell! I can't put up with it much longer!" Ron exclaimed one evening before dinner, throwing down his quill. Lily looked up surprised.
"Temper, temper Mr. Weasley. If McGonagall came in and heard you say that, think of the points you'd lose!" she exclaimed. Ron rolled his eyes.
"Typical. Two months with Hermione as your best friend, and you're sounding like her." Lily shot a death glare at him and he shut up. Lavender laughed.
"You know she has a point Ronnie," she admitted, kissing her boyfriend. Ron sighed in defeat.
"ALRIGHT I get the point. You win!" he said. Lily laughed, then looked over to where Harry and Hermione were sitting, deep in conversation.
"They just don't get the clues do they?" she asked them. Ron shook his head.
"Heck no." Lavender laughed and watched as the two stood up and went out of the common room. Lily frowned.
"Where're they going?" she wondered out loud. Ron shrugged, then grinned.
"Probably off for a little snog feast." he said. Lavender and Lily cracked up.
But that statement made her think of what happened three weeks ago in the astronomy tower. She and Draco decided not to tell anyone until they're ready. But, Lily being a girl, she had told Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati, after they swore they wouldn't tell anybody.

Meanwhile, Harry and Hermione had made their way down to the kitchens. It was only 1:30, and the Halloween feast was 4 hours away . "Hello Harry Potter and Hermione Granger!" a house-elf squealed, bowing to them. "Hello Dobby." Hermione said.
"Hey Dobby, can we get a dozen chocolate eclairs please," Harry asked. In five seconds, a dozen houselves came carrying a bag of éclairs.
"Thanks!" the two said in unison, and left the kitchens together. Harry took out two éclairs.
"One for you and one for me!" Harry said handing one to Hermione. She took it and took a bite.
"Thanks" she said. They remained quiet until they reached the portrait.
"Banana puffs" Harry said and the portrait swung open. Lily looked up to see Harry and Hermione.
"Where have you been?" she asked them.
"Kitchens," Hermione responded. Lily, Ron and Lavender raised their eyebrows as if to say.
"Sure, and my mom dances at a strip club"
"Let's go down to the Halloween Feast" Harry said, noticing the slight tension. They all nodded and hurried downstairs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When they reached the Great Hall, Lily saw for the first time the floating pumpkins and the clutters of live bats.
"Wow, you guys love Halloween don't you?" she asked. Harry laughed and went to go talk to Fred and George. Hermione made her way over to the Hufflepuff table to ask Susan something when she heard:
"That Muggleborn Granger doesn't stand a chance with Harry! He's only using her so that he can get to me" the snotty voice belonged to Cho Chang, Harry's ex crush. Hermione's eyes filled with tears and she ran out of the hall.
"Hermione?" Lily called, seeing her friend run out of the hall. The doors opened and Snape ran in.
"There's a 20 foot mountain troll on the Third Floor!" he shouted. Total chaos broke out.
"Everyone go back to your dorms now!" Dumbledore shouted. Harry led the first years out of the Hall. Suddenly on the first floor, he stopped.
"Where's Hermione?" he asked them quickly.
"We havent seen her since she ran out crying" one of the first years cried. Harry paled.
"Lily, Ron, Lavender take over I got to find her!" he said. They nodded and Harry rushed off.
As he neared the girls bathroom, a foul stench found the way to his nose.
"Ugh..oh no" he said, when he saw the large troll rumble into the girls bathroom. He heard Hermione shriek with terror.
"Hermione!" Harry moaned and ran in after it. He saw the troll cornering Hermione. His large club raised.
"Expellarimus!" Harry yelled and the trolls club flew out of his hand. The troll roared and started for Harry.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Harry yelled, but he wasn't the only one. Hermione had taken out her wand and yelled the same spell. The troll froze and fell to the ground. Harry rushed over to Hermione.
"Are you ok?" he whispered.
"Fine" she said, looking up and seeing his emerald green eyes looking at her. They smiled at each other, then Harry noticed how close they were. Not knowing what came over him, he leaned down and softly kissed her on the lips.
Hermione seemed to be shocked at first, but slowly kissed him back. His arms went around her waist and her arms slipped around his neck.
They broke away when they heard footsteps running, and a second later Professor McGonagall came in.
"Oh my goodness! What..explain yourselves!" she exclaimed.
"Harry saved me from the troll professor" Hermione explained. McGonagall looked at him and he nodded.
"Well Mr. Potter it seems like you saved the day again. 20 points to Gryffindor" McGonagall said.
"Now go on back to Gryffindor Common Room. The feast is still going on" she said, and Harry and Hermione left.
Once on the sixth floor, Hermione turned to Harry.
"Why did you kiss me?" she asked him. Harry looked at her and blushed.
"Ah well..I like you Hermione, I like you more than a friend. Ever since our first year, I've wanted to get closer to you because I'm in love with you." Hermione's eyes widened.
"Oh Harry!" she said throwing her arms around him.
"I love you too!" she mumbled. Harry looked at her again and smiled.
"Really?" he asked. Hermione nodded and he grinned and kissed her again.
