Chapter 5- Liar
As Hermione began to eat lunch, a note landed on her lap. It read:
I'll be waiting for you at 1pm in your common room. You won't see me, but I'll see you. -I'll be waiting
"What does it say?" Harry asked before she had a chance to think about what it said.
"Oh it's nothing." She said simply.
Harry thought automatically 'She's lying to me!" A hurt look spread over his face. He stared at her for a moment, and then left the great hall. He heard Ron and Draco follow him. Harry hadn't been acting like himself lately. Draco and Ron were worried.
***
Harry read the note once more before stuffing it into Hermione's bag while she wasn't looking.
***
She opened her bag to put her charms book away. She saw a crumpled piece of parchment on top of its contents. She was about to throw it away, but read it anyways.
We have to talk. Meet me at 12:00 in the common room. --Harry
"Oh fuck!" Hermione said aloud.
***
She watched him as he shifted in his seat.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Hermione asked, playing innocent. 'He just can't know, he just can't.' She said over and over again in her head.
"You know.Me, you. Us."
'Fuck.' She thought.
"Maybe this isn't going to work out." He choked out. She could almost see his heart shattering to piece before her. She wanted to cry, she didn't know what do or say.
"Why not, you can't just ditch me without any explanations!"
"You just don't seem to want me anymore. It's like your dreaming about some other guy! Stop playing games Hermione you know what I'm taking about."
"Harry let me explain, it's not what you think."
"It never is, is it?" He was acting like a jerk, she almost slapped him, but the little voice in the back of her head was screaming that he was right.
"First your neck, I mean what the fuck was that? You think that by healing it, everything is going to be ok, and that I'm going to pretend I never saw it? What about the note, that's not a big deal, but your keeping obvious secrets from me. And, in class you were almost drooling. You must have had one hell of a daydream, you didn't even hear Snape was yelling at you. You'd have to have a fucking good excuse to cover all that up." After he let it all out, he relaxed.
He was trying to look tough, she knew him too well. Inside he was shaking, she could feel it. It was hard for them to be together, it was hard for Harry to be with anyone. Usually he was tough, but never getting any love as a child made it difficult for him to commit. That was one thing he had in common with Draco.
"Harry get over the bruise, I fell asleep studying. The book jabbed me in the neck. The letter was from some idiot admirer, I thought it was so stupid. Next time I'll show you, ok? Last of all, I wasn't drooling, I was just dreaming about the next time we could find an empty classroom. So do believe me, or what?"
He looked so hopeful she wanted to throw up. She was lying to him.
"Yeah I believe you. Oh god Hermione, I'm such an idiot. I'm really sorry. I just thought.."
And the transformation happened in seconds, he went back to being the Harry she loved best. He shot her a devious smile.
"Everyone's asleep, it's 12:30am." He said after glancing at his watch.
She leaned against his firm chest. Quiddich was really keeping him in shape. He brought her head to his. As he kissed her, the guilt just melted away, she kissed him back, hard.

"Shit! Harry what time is it?" She panicked. He looked up at her, face flushed, breathing hard.
"2 in the morning, why?" He looked confused.
"Umm, we have to sleep! I have a test tomorrow." Another lie.
"Yeah, muggle studies, I heard. I still don't get why you took that stupid course." He said. Now she remembered, so she wasn't really lying.
"We can finish this up tomorrow." She teased. They grabbed their clothes, removed their silencing spells and started to go up the stairs.
