Bed Knobs and Broomsticks
Chapter Six- The Suspicion of Hermione Granger
Hermione.
" Please tell me I'm the only one who heard that" Ginny whispered.
Footsteps, growing louder and louder.
" Oh shit" Harry gasped.
They both scrambled out of bed as though fire ants were there. Both grabbing and arm load of clothing that had been piled on the bedroom floor and the hallway, he ran across to another room and slammed the door. Ginny closed hers as well by the time Hermione reached the landing.
" Where are you guys?" she asked.
" In here" they answered together from two rooms.
" What are you doing? Everyone's really worried".
" Harry fell in the pond" Ginny responded, " and I got a little wet, so we're just changing".
" Fell in the pond?" she exclaimed, " Harry what were you doing outside when it's dark?".
On the other side of the door, he didn't care to answer, being too busy staring at the only article of clothing he managed to grab. Ginny's dress. To make things worse, he ran into the bathroom, Bill's room was right next door, had he ran in there, this wouldn't be a problem. He ran his head under the sink, taking Ginny's side to appear as though he really did fall in the pond.
" Harry?" the handle on the door was turning. Harry was holding a dress in the nude, and Hermione wasn't stupid.
He jumped into the shower as the door opening, pulling at the curtain and turning on the water, which was freezing at first.
" Uh, yeah, I'll be out in just a second".
" Take your time" he heard her leave.
Letting out a huge sigh of relief, surprisingly she didn't hear and come back. For several minutes, he stood motionless under the warm water.
" Dobby has presented Master Potter with clothes" Ginny's imitating voice on the other side was reassuring.
Harry peeked around the curtain to where she was wearing her pajamas, and had some for him as well. She was grinning.
He smiled, " now that I look at it, our previous interruptions were nothing compared to now".
Ginny stepped in front of him, " I guess we'll have to be more careful next time" she placed a kiss on his lips.
He gave her another peck, " is this careful enough for next time?".
She giggled, " sorry, but, we happened to get Hermione of all people in the way. Now, I better get down there before she comes back".
" You should have seen Draco, Harry" Hermione beamed as Harry came downstairs, " his hair really clashed with his purple face".
Harry sat on the couch opposite Hermione, Ginny was on the floor by the fire. " He deserved it".
Hermione leaned back into the cushion, glancing between them. " So, what happened when you came back?".
Ginny shuddered at the question. Harry could feel himself beginning to sweat. They both tried to say something at once, but Harry took over. " We just talked for a bit, outside, and then Ginny accidentally pushed me into the pond".
Hermione's eyes sparked, a twitching smile, " what were you talking about?".
Ginny crawled onto the mattress they shared, " what business of that is yours?" it was a cold comment.
Harry was caught in Hermione's gaze, he simply shrugged, adding fuel to her already deep suspicion. As Ginny adjusted her position, she let out a small wince of pain. Harry had to nearly think of his parents dying to keep from laughing.
" Well, I'm off too bed" Hermione stepped over the mattress and skipped to the staircase, " sleep well you two".
There was massive relief the second she left. " She really has a way of tricking things out of you" he commented.
" Probably read it in a book" Ginny muttered. She noticed his laugh and crawled into his lap, " I think she's jealous".
" Jealous?".
" Yes, jealous" she began tracing kisses along his neck, " because all her attempts to win you over".
" Attempts?" now that didn't make sense.
" A lot can happen in a girls dormitory, things you don't want to know about. Hermione would spend hours each night trying to plan something. Some of us called her female Voldemort, all of them failed".
To keep another laugh from waking Hermione (even though she most likely wasn't asleep) she placed her mouth over his, he pulled her closer. With each kiss, Ginny made them deeper.
As much as he didn't want too, Harry gently pushed her away. " I don't think we'll be able to get away with this again".
She laughed and slid off him and back onto the mattress. Harry followed, putting out the fire with his wand. In case Molly, or worse Ron, checked on them when they arrived home, they stayed far apart. The one night when Ginny had a reason to be held by him, he couldn't. But it didn't matter, as long as he was there.
" I love you Ginny".
Authors Note- Obviously, Hermione knows, she's not brain dead and Harry and Ginny are bad at keeping things a secret. Anyways, you don't know what she's going to do about the information he has, and neither do I. HELP!
