More Than Just Friends (by ilukaiba who doesn't own HP…)
((A/N All the HTML testing worked out so now the whole fic is HTML ^^))
///warning: this chappy has a love scene… no sex though… nothing that NC-17… it could pass for R I guess but hell… I'm trying to keep it PG-13 okay?\\\
Chapter 8
"So Hermione… I… listen… I had no idea how… you felt… about us."
"Yeah…" muttered Hermione, her anger rising once again, "sure Harry. I mean… how obvious can I get! I hugged you after the chess game in first year with tears in my eyes because I didn't want to lose you. Why do you think I did that? Ron wouldn't have hugged you crying!"
Harry turned scarlet. "Well… I guess I just… wasn't really…"
"And you know how much it hurts when you talk about how you've dated all the girls of the right age in the school besides the Slytherins. I mean, hello, what the hell am I?"
Harry put his hand on her cheek but she shoved it off, her brown eyes filling with tears of anger, frustration, and sadness.
"Hermione, I love you too." he said, a silent tear running down his cheek.
"Whoever said, Harry," she cut in, "that I still love you?" Her heart was sinking in her self-pity, she knew she was lying but after all the pain he had caused her, he deserved it. 'He deserves to die!' she fumed.
"H-H-Hermione please… give me just one more chance."
"Harry, I'm afraid that isn't poss-"
Again, she was cut off by a kiss. Except this kiss was a different one. It was filled with need and desire. He kissed her intensely, positioning himself on top of her, holding her hands tightly above her head so that she wouldn't push him away again.
///warning love scene starts here, don't read it you don't want to… but I do recommend reading it ^^; I mean, what's a romance fic without a love scene?… but just in case, the next time you see a A/N like this, it'll be over\\\
She didn't want to. In spite of her anger, inside she was screaming for more. His tongue pushed against her lips, and as if she was controlled by his kiss, she allowed entrance.
For a brief moment he freed one of her hands, releasing the grasp in his right hand. But seconds later, his left hand was holding the freed hand. He was strong, no doubt, now holding both of her struggling hands with his weak one.
His right hand combed through her hair. He caressed her cheek lightly, and moved his hands down her body. His hand moved over her chest, her stomach, her right thigh.
She wrapped her leg around him involuntarily.
He moved to her neck, allowing her to speak. But the only word she spoke was his name. She was so in love with him now.
"Harry…," she murmured lovingly, "I… I do love you."
He stopped nipping at her bare neck and looked up at her. She stared right back at him.
His green eyes were glittering emeralds. His hair was a mess, but an attractive one. His lips were so inviting. But it was his smile that got her. That strange boyish smile. A kind yet mischievous smile. It was such a sexy smile. She was possessed by Harry's smile and she knew it. She had always felt so lightheaded when he smiled at her, ever since first year.
He leaned forward to kiss her, but this time she returned it with equal passion. Her hands were moving through his hair. His bare chest rubbed against her, making her emotions go wild. She moved his hands onto his chest and gasped into his mouth as she felt his many muscles. He smiled mentally, with a boyish satisfaction.
He untied her robes, and began to massage her breasts. ((A/N I feel so dirty…))
///no more warning: you can open your eyes now…\\\
And then her sense of responsibility and eagerness to obey rules took over.
She put her hands on his chest and pushed him a little, but not roughly. Just enough to show him that she wanted to stuff.
He attempted to hide his disappointment but obeyed her.
"We can't do this Harry." she warned him, "Not in school… it's not appropriate."
Harry sighed and nodded his head, mischievously staring at her chest, which had been revealed when he untied her robes. ((A/N If you didn't read the scene, they didn't have sex, don't worry… though Harry probably wanted to… perve…))
She blushed and redid them.
"So what are we going to do? When we go back now… it's stopped raining."
Harry calmly replied, "I'm sure Professor Lupin covered for us."
"He knows?"
"Yeah." Harry smiled. "He's the one that told me to tell you instead of keeping it a secret."
"HOLY SHIT!!" she screamed, much to the amusement of Harry who wasn't used to seeing her swear so much. "I can't believe it…"
"What?"
"Sirius visited me a while ago."
"HUH?!" asked Harry. "Why didn't he talk to me?!"
"He told me to get closer to you and reveal my feelings and stuff."
Harry grinned. "So they're in this together: Sirius and Lupin? Playing matchmaker?"
Hermione smiled too. "Who would have thought?"
"Well they were the Marauders…"
Together, they began to walk back to the castle, holding hands.
~ ~ ~
A group of people greeted them at the doorway.
"POTTER?! GRANGER?! MAY I ASK WHY YOU TWO WERE OUT DURING THE STORM?!" asked Snape angrily, standing with Professors Dumbledore and Lupin.
"Severus," said Remus calmly, "I told you, Miss Granger simply ran out when the storm was beginning because she thought she had left her notebook out earlier today. And Harry, being the great friend that he is, went out after her, to warn her about the storm and make sure she was okay."
"THEN WHY IS HE SHIRTLESS?! AND WHY IS SHE WEARING HIS QUIDDITCH ROBES?!" stormed the angered Potions master.
"They must have gone to the Quidditch lockers to dry off. After all, wearing wet clothes can cause major sicknesses, isn't that right Sevvie?" said a familiar voice, snickering.
The group looked as a figure emerged from behind Hagrid's hut.
"YOU!" yelled Snape angrily, watching as Sirius Black walked up to the group.
"Or don't you recall a time when you also ran out during a rainstorm in fifth year to meet with your… secret admirer, only to realize that me and James were up to our tricks again…"
Snape glared at him and stormed off angrily, leaving an amused Harry and Hermione to look at Sirius and only wonder what else he and James had done to "Sevvie" during their time.
Dumbledore looked at Harry and Hermione and smiled. Harry shifted uncomfortably; Dumbledore always seemed to know things…
Remus and Sirius confronted the two as they began to walk up the steps.
"So… are you too… you know…?"
Harry smiled at them. "Wait and see." he replied as he and Hermione walked into the castle.
Remus and Sirius grinned at each other. "Another matchmaking fest accomplished!" they said, high-fiving each other.
"You know Moony, you'd think that they'd at least thank us or something."
"Paddy, Harry is way to much like James… I mean wasn't that the exact thing James said to us when he and Lily bonded as a result of our efforts…"
"Shit… you're right!"
"Ha… how strange. So what childishly amusing feat shall we accomplish next?"
"Eh… old Sevvie's hair is starting to bother me, maybe we should work on it…"
"Hmmm… I like your way of thinking Padfoot."
"Heh… once a Marauder…"
"Always a Marauder."
The End…
