Author's Note: All right, the votes are in! Muwahaha! And the winner of the "who will Discover them first" contest is.... Well, you'll just have to read to find out. *wink*
Also, to a couple of readers that reviewed together (sorry, dont' know your name, i deleted the email too soon): Don't worry, I'm going to write a Hetero story... someday. hehe. It will probably be a Ron/Hermione story if I do. ^.^ I'm a total supporter of them together. But that won't be for a tad bit, I'm finishing off this one and starting another. I've already put 2 stories on pause for this one, I dont' want to overload myself with unfinished stories.

Whispers In the Rain
Chapter 17: Rainy Day
_____________________
Ron stepped quietly into the Hogwarts Library, eyeing the librarian carefully. He walked at a quick pace towards the back shelves, glancing around as though searching for someone. He stopped short and slowly smiled as he found the one he was looking for. Standing next a window facing a cloudy England sky was Hermione. The long, bushy haired girl didn't notice the red-head watching her. Her eyes trained on the view of the Quidditch field, her face was thoughtful. Ron smiled as the dim light comming from the shaded sky danced softly on her face.
Hermione jerked in shock as Ron's hand slowly slipped into hers. Her shock was replaced with a warm smile. Ron stepped close to her, his fingers linked into hers. He followed her train of vision outside. He leaned forward, trying to see better. "What is it?"
"Nothing important." She whispered. Ron looked at her, her eyes still watching whatever it was she was seeing. She squeezed his and lightly. "It looks like rain."
"Yes." Ron replied. "But what are you watching?"
"On the quidditch field. Look." Hermione nodded in it's direction. Ron looked out into the foggy field. He didn't see anything at first, but then he saw it. Someone was flying their broomstick out on the field. He narrowed his eyes to try and see better.
"Is that..." Ron trailed off.
"Yes. It's Harry." Hermione told him. Her voice lowered. "And Malfoy."
"You really don't like them together." It wasn't a question, it was a comment. Hermione, to Ron's shock, didn't get mad by it. She sighed and slowly nodded. "I understand, Hermione."
"How?" Hermione asked simply. "You love them together. You help set them up afterall!"
"Now, you know I was under the influence of that spell of yours!" Ron said defensively. "But, yes, I'm okay with them together. Hermione, have you noticed how happy Harry has been?"
"Well..." Hermione didn't finish. She continued to watch the figure flying around on the field, that was now being joined by a second.
"And of all honesty? Draco isn't as bad as you may think. If Harry, of all people, can learn to love him... Well? Don't you think we can to?" Ron suggested. Hermione looked down at her hand, that was still being held by Ron. A sigh escaped her lips and she nodded shakily.
"Your right. Your very right. I should respect Harry's decision. I really should." Hermione forced a smile. They looked at each other a moment, then Hermione giggled softly.
"What?" Ron asked. Hermione looked away, grinning.
"It's just... I'm not used to you being so... sensible." Ron laughed with her.
"Well, what can I say?" Ron replied, smiling. "Your rubbing off on me. And, frankly, I like it."
Hermione blushed at his words and refused to meet his eyes. Ron glanced over his shoulder, and finding the room empty, he reached up his hand and touched her cheek. Hermione shyly looked up at him. He looked into her milk chocolate eyes and leaned forward. She met him halfway, pressing her lips to his. Ron felt his knees go slightly weak from the feeling of his lips. The kiss went on for a few second, remaining nice and soft, before the couple seperated.
Harry landed on the ground and dismounted his broom. He turned, grinning, to the pale blonde dismoutning behind him. "I win!"
"Five out of nine!" Draco insisted. Harry shook his head, laughing lightly.
"Nah, it's about to rain." Harry told him. Draco pouted as Harry stepped up to him. "Besides, I think you wore me out."
A sudden sly grin apeared on Draco's face. Harry gave an uneasy look as Draco spoke in a low, seductive whisper. "I think I have a better way to wear you out. If your interested."
"Hmm... I'm intrigued." Harry replied. Harry stepped a little closer to Draco, a smile smile on his lips.
"You know," Draco said softly, staring into Harry's green eyes. "You make me feel... complete."
"I'm glad to hear you feel the same way as me." Harry told him. Draco let out a breath and smiled. He leaned forward and kissed the shorter boy on the forhead. As he did so, a large drop of rain hit him on the top of the head. Blinking, Draco looked up at the sky as more drops of water poured from the heavens. Within second both boys were coated in rain water.
"Looks like you can predict the weather, Harry." Draco said, raising his voice as thunder echoed overhead.
"I suppose I should alert Trelawney (sp?) of it." Harry commented as they started running for the castle. Both boys quickly opened a side door and bounded into the dry halls of Hogwarts.
"Do you know what time it is?" Draco questioned. He looked down the hall quickly before linking his hand into Harry's.
"About a half hour before dinner." Harry replied. Draco and him walked down the hall. "I suppose I should be getting back to the common room."
"Yeah, me too." Draco said quietly. He paused a moment, thinking. "Hey, Harry? Could you, maybe, meet me before Potions tomorrow? In the dungeon."
"Of course." Harry smiled. "Is it anything important?"
"No." Draco told him. "I just... Want to spend more time with you. This is the most we've spent together since we became a couple and I kind of want more."
"I understand." Harry said. "I do too. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye, Harry." Draco said softly, leaning forward to quickly kiss him on the cheek. Harry blushed lightly and watched Draco turn and walk back down the hall. He waited a second, before headed toward the Gryffindor common room.
The next afternoon, Harry crept down into the dungeon before Potions class. He walked down the dark, torch-lit halls, passing the classroom. Finally he spotted Draco down the corrider, leaning against the wall. Harry smiled and quickened his feet. Draco turned, his face breaking into a grin. They immediately hugged each other. Parting slightly, they looked into each other's eyes. Draco's breath caught in his chest as he looked into Harry's emerald orbs.
Harry leaned up and brushed his lips against Draco's. A shock went through Draco's body, causing him to shiver and Harry to smile. In a sudden passion, Draco pressed his lips hard against Harry's mouth. Harry gasped, but quickly kissed him back. They held each other hard, their lips dancing in the dark hall. They were so caught up in their passionate kiss that they didn't notice a door to their right opening. Just as their tongues met a shadow fell over them. Harry had just let out a soft moan before hearing the footsteps. Slowly the two parted and turned to the figure.
