Chapter thirteen
Eager Expression
"Who's in here?" came a cold, mean voice from the door. Hermione and Ron quickly pulled away and made sure the cloak was completely covering them. They looked down and finally noticed the broken jar on the floor. Too bad it was one of the ingredients they had really needed for the most important potion. But that didn't matter now; they needed to get out of there as quickly as possible without making a sound. Ron looked at the door to find Filch looking around the room with his nose scrunched so far into his face he resembled a rabbit. He noticed the jar on the floor and slowly made his way across the room to get a closer look. Ron tugged at Hermione's arm and pulled her towards the door. They were almost out until Snape suddenly entered the room three inches in front of them. They stood as still as possible, and Hermione was so nervous she held her breath. Snape remained at the doorway, their only way of escape, as he looked over to where Filch was standing. Finally he walked over to Filch, and the two of them were able to sneak out the door. They ran as quickly as they could, and Ron remembered that he still had the map clutched in his hand. He opened it up to find their way back, but before he could get a good look, he felt himself being dragged. By the time he realized what was happening, they were out of sight. He looked around and saw that they were inside a broom closet. Ron was about to open his mouth to ask what the hell was going on, but Hermione put her hand over his mouth and took out her wand.
"Serratura," she whispered, placing the wand back in her pocket. Ron looked puzzled. Why did she just lock the door? But he caught on quickly enough. He could see the want in her eyes, and she could see it in his.
She leaned into him and put her mouth so close to his that they both froze in anticipation. Neither of them could breath they were so entranced. They just stood there, not really sure what the other was thinking. Finally, Ron couldn't take anymore. He touched his lips to hers, and she immediately felt that same surge of electricity run through her body. In that one instant, everything around them dissolved into thin air. She slowly brought her arms around him, and without knowing it, began to trace circles on the nape of his neck. He felt his knees go weak and fought hard not to collapse. They were so wrapped up in the moment that nothing could disturb them. (Don't worry, they didn't go that far. Not yet anyway…)
Thanks for the reviews guys, more is coming soon!
