More Than Just Friends (by ilukaiba who doesn't own HP…)
((A/N I am experimenting with HTML in this chappy, if it works out I'll change the whole ficcy to HTML if it doesn't I'll fix this one…))
Chapter 6
And there she stood, with her brown curls blowing in the cooling breeze as she gazed into his emerald eyes. She walked closer to him, and closed her eyes as he moved his head forward, their lips meeting.
"Hermione", he muttered. "I love you."
"I love you too Harry." she said.
"HARRY?!" yelled a male voice. The earth shook.
Harry groaned.
"HARRY?!?!" yelled Professor Lupin once more, shaking Harry by the shoulders as he lay in the bed of the Hospital Wing.
Harry opened his eyes and looked dazedly around the room.
"P-p-professor? What… what happened." he asked with confusion.
"Oh Harry!" yelped Hermione, running to him. "I thought you'd NEVER wake up!" She hugged him, tears running down her cheeks.
"Hermione?" Harry patted the girl awkwardly on the shoulder. He cherished the feeling of her arms around him.
He began to recall the previous situation. "Malfoy…" he muttered, his eyes glinting furiously at the thought of what the Slytherin had said to his friend.
"Harry," sobbed Hermione, "you shouldn't have fought him!"
"He deserved everything he got!" protested Harry stubbornly.
"BUT YOU DIDN'T!!"
Professor Lupin took the opportunity to leave the room, leaving the two best friends by themselves.
"Why did you do it Harry? Why? I mean, he's called me a… mudblood so many times before… Why now Harry? You usually just tell me to ignore it… you've never actually attacked him when he called me that since second year!"
Harry reddened. "Hermione… I-I-I think I… l-l-l-"
Hermione blushed, anticipating the words he would be saying.
"I-I-I think I l-l-l-loathe Malfoy…" stuttered Harry, mentally kicking himself for even trying to tell Hermione how he truly felt about her. 'I'm not gonna ruin our friendship… I'm NOT gonna ruin our friendship…" he repeated in his head.
Hermione's eager smile faded and she stared at him in silence, before responding.
"Well… duh Harry… everyone knows that…"
"Yeah…" muttered Harry.
"So… uh… you're lucky Madame Pomfrey had a supply of Fawkes' tears for you…"
"Yeah…"
"Harry… I have to go now… and study… um… see you later then…" Hermione dashed out of the Hospital Wing, leaving the rather confused Harry staring at the place she had stood just seconds before.
"Bye Herms…" he whispered.

Lupin watched as Hermione ran out to the grounds, in spite of the thunderstorm that was beginning.
"MISS GRANGER!" he yelled.
She ignored him and kept running.
Lupin went back to the Hospital Wing. "HARRY?!" he asked, "What happened between you and Miss Granger?"
Harry looked at his D.A.D.A. professor with confusion.
"Uh… nothing?"
Lupin groaned. "Harry I wasn't planning to say this to you, but I feel that if I don't talk to you now, something could seriously screw up the relationship between yourself and Miss Granger."
"ButIdon'twanttotellherbecauseshe'llhateme… andthenwewon'tbefriendsanymore!"
Lupin smiled. It was a miracle that he had understood that. "Harry… what did I tell you before? That won't happen… you see Harry… she feels the same way about you! You're blind to have not noticed that."
Harry stared at him.
"Whatever went on between you two a few minutes ago probably hurt her because she ran outside and at this very moment is doing god knows what."
"But it's RAINING!"
"Harry… you MUST go find her and sort things out before it's too late."
