Chapter Two
Hermionie drew her knees to her chest, wrapped her arms around them, and rested her chin on her arms. Harry did the same. They sat in silence, Harry's ears ringing. She broke the silence, "The stars are beautiful." She looked skyward. "Yea they are." Harry said, also taking a look up into the dark sky. She sighed and scooted closer to Harry, resting her head upon his shoulder. He relaxed and sat cross-legged. He laced his fingers with hers. "I ran into Ron on my way up the stairs." Harry said. "Oh?" Hermionie answered. "Yea, he told be he came to spy on us." Harry said. "Nosey." Hermionie giggled. Harry sighed heavily. They sat there, under the stars, and cuddled, for what seemed like eternity. Harry checked his watch, 1:45am. "Hermionie, its really early. We should be getting back up to the castle." He heard her slow steady breathing. She fell asleep?! He gently woke her, "Hermionie," He nudged. "Uhm." She said. "We have to get back to the castle, it's almost 2 am." Harry whispered. "Mkay." She said sleepily. He got up, and held out a hand and helped her up. They walked silently back to the oak doors. When the got there, they were shut. "Oh this can't be good." Harry said. "Hermionie, I need you." He looked over his shoulder. "Yea, Yea, move aside," She shoved him playfully. "Alohamora" She whispered. They both slowly opened the doors and went inside. "Merrrrrow" "Shh" Harry said, stopping her. They heard Mrs. Norris. Harry saw her trot across the hall, not looking at them, something white dangling from her mouth. Proud little thing, you caught a mouse. Harry thought. They moved back to Gryffindor tower. The sleeping Fat Lady opened without fret. Harry walked the sleepy Hermionie to her dorm door. "Goodnight" He said. "Night" she smiled. She stood there, rocking on her heels. Harry stood there awkwardly. "Oh yea!" Harry said, and kissed her. When they drew apart, Hermionie was blushing, "Yea, Night." She said, and walked into her dorm and quietly closed the door. Harry skipped the rest of the way up the tower, the cloak hung over his arm.
