The day was long and hard for them. The classes were getting more advanced and it was also hard with the rumors. Hermione took a lot of abuse from Professor Trelawney about coming back, Harry got more death predictions, and Ron got warnings. Lunch was hell, just as bad as breakfast, and with twice as much laughter. Hermione was called down to Dumbledore's office that day, though she fine something was bothering her. She was thinking about waiting to tell him, but now she had to tell him that night.
She was sitting in the common room trying to do her homework when Ron and Harry came storming in. They both looked very upset. Ron stormed straight up the stairs to bed.
"What happened?" Hermione wanted to know. She hated seeing them upset.
"Remember how the article said those things that Ron said? He really said them," Harry said sitting in the chair across from her. "He said he said them before he got the first owl from you."
"So he said it over the summer, then. That stupid woman. She wants to tear us apart. I hate her. She was there then, at his house," Hermione said angrily slamming her book shut, "Oh Ron..."
"It's best we leave him alone for now," Harry said through a sigh.
"Harry, now that you're here, I have a confession to make," Hermione said quietly. She was definitely nervous. Harry noticed this and froze. She wants the kiss tonight, he thought to himself. Then it hit him. Maybe this was about what the professor said when he left.
"The promise...it was a plan of mine," she said looking down. Harry was sitting very still.
"What? I don't understand..."
"Harry," she interrupted," I think I love you," she said looking straight into Harry's eyes. She always loved those green eyes of his. The world seemed to stop when she said those words. Harry didn't know what to say. They just sat there staring at each other.
"Harry? Please say something...."
He slowly got up and walked to the couch. He sat there for a while just thinking. She soon went over and sat next to him. She grabbed his hand.
"Please say something..."
"I..."
"I knew it. You see I...I knew that you w...wouldn't kiss me if ...if it wasn't a friendship thing...it was stupid.... I knew you would never have feelings for me.... and...forget this ever happened...."
She got up slowly, crying, and took a step toward the stairs before Harry grabbed her arm. She slowly sat back down and Harry turned to her.
"I've had feelings for you for the longest time. I didn't expect this so bare with me if I don't respond right away. I'm kind of in a bit of a shock."
"Harry, I'm sorry..."
Harry silenced her with a kiss. He wanted her to just shut up and this was the only thing Harry wanted at that moment. He wanted nothing more. He didn't care if it was around the school the next morning. He didn't care if anyone walked in on them. Hermione finally broke it after a little while and she crying.
"I really do love you, Harry. I really do."
She leaned it to kiss him again. When they broke again Harry hugged her. He was so happy that this whole Hermione thing was off his shoulders. They didn't bother going to bed that night. Instead they stayed up all night talking, laughing, hugging, and kissing. They loved each other and they didn't care about anything else. But they didn't know they had visitor under Harry's own invisibility cloak.
