Chap. 7 "What Next?"

The next day the news about Harry liking Hermione spread like a wild fire. Everyone was murmuring about it. Whenever Harry walked by someone they would look at him. More like staring at him until he was out of eyesight. Harry felt so self-conscious. Lucky for Hermione, she was still in the hospital wing. Harry brought her books at lunch and again at dinner. Malfoy decided to visit her. He was up to something. Harry walked in on them chatting. He walked over to him and raised one of his eyebrows with a questioning look on his face.

"Malfoy, what the hell are you doing here?"

"I'm just getting details. That's all."

"Well I think you've gone far enough. Now leave," Harry snapped.

"Fine I just might if I'm not wanted around here."

"Ok leave NOW!"

"I'm going, I'm going," he said as he headed for the door. He walked out with a sneaky grin on his face.

As he was walking down the hall he was plotting on what to do next. I've got to get Hermione somehow. Just to break Harry's little heart. But how?

..........

"Harry! What are you doing here?"

" I thought I'd come to see how you're doing," he said with a smile.

"Oh I'm quite fine. How are you my dear?"

"Oh I'm ok now that I see you," he said shyly looking at the ground.

"O you don't need to say that kind of thing."

"O but I do, I love you Hermione."

"O I love you too Harry. I have since the first time I saw you in those silly glasses," she said giggling.

Harry smiled. He thought it was cute. And so did she. They just sat there in silence for a while. Then Harry broke the silence.

"When are you going to be back?"

"O well I think she said Monday. I'm not sure. I think it's Monday or Friday."

"O well, I guess nothing will be the same until you return."

Hermione just looked at him with her love eyes. She was so happy. Before she could blink Harry gave her a kiss. Then he said good night and left to go to his dormitories. He walked through the halls thinking how lucky he was. Also he was thinking if he should ask out Hermione tomorrow.
